As an example of how Platodino did his extractions:

Mind you, he did not know how to do any programming whatsoever, so everything you see was done by hand! What he had done there was very advanced for his time.
However, version 0.65 changed a lot:

This was because Platodino was to go into the military. He hasn't done an extraction since. Later on, some extractions are done by Conserver, but since the disappearance of Platodino, PPF really hasn't had a dedicated extractor since patch 0.65. To see an example of what Conserver does, click here. Since Platodino left, I changed my unpacker and now support MSEA extractions because of it.
As far as "CMS hacker communities", let me say a few things about this:
If you look in GMS hacker communities, you will see hardly any extractions. The data itself to hackers is not important. What is important is how that data can be altered to do what the hacker wants. Since learning what's new about each patch does not change what hacks are relevant, extractions don't matter. So, these extractions are only good for people who want to play the game, not for those that hack. Also, while CMS may be known for hacking, I'm sure not all of their communities are hacker communities. And even if there were, I doubt they'd be interested in the data.
As far as Chinese extraction goes, there is a very public chinese unpacker at extractor.net.cn and they are interested in extractions from all versions of Maple. I heartily encourage you to check it out. This community is to CMS as Southperry is to GMS.
