I have a file taken from an apk of an old videogame made for an old android phone. It has no file extension and is simply titled "images". MediaFire reads it as an .SO file, but I don't know if it's correct. 7zip just reads it as archive. I ran it through Filext giving a bunch of random text along with lines like "/button_1.png," "/button_2.png," "/char/slime0.png," etc, which look like file locations. I also put it into a hex editor which showed this. It seems it contains IMG files as it's shown each time at the beginning of each file location. The end of the hex simply states "END". Is there any way to extract the images? Do I have to run the apk for it to decompile?

.so files are shared object files (on linux/unix systems). I doubt that the .so file contains the images that you are looking for, itself.

if this is an android apk, then I would suggest using APKtool to decompile it; it should be able to get you the images, along with everything else split out of the apk into files/folders.

There are some online apk decompilers too, but I have no recommendations. I've used APKtool, but none of the online tools.
