Audio file formats

Hi. I'm new to modding console games and think this might be a good starting point. The PSP version has missing spoken lines of dialogue, presumably to save space. The archives on PS2 are in .psm and .pss formats and PSP are .r4m and .r4s. They have identical headers (BIGB) and have PS2 and PSP flags. The PS2 version also has a folder for each archive with .dat files as well as an identical copy of every archive. I tried copying and renaming a set of PS2 archives to .r4m and .r4s and changed the flag inside the archives to psp with a hex editor. This resulted in a crash in ppsspp: . I have extracted the audio files and when inspecting 2 files that are in both versions, t…

Unpacking and Repacking audio files in The Evil Within (.tangoresource & .streamed) Hi everyone, As the title says, I am trying to unpack and repack the audio files for The Evil Within. From what I know, the files are split by chapters and use extensions like .tangoresource and .streamed. More specifically, the language-specific streamed files (like en, es, fr, it) hold the .msadpcm audio data, while the .tangoresource files contain the .bsnd headers. I am aware of the tool Tango.exe, but it is limited to .tangoresource files and does not support streamed files. This is a problem because my attempts to import them only result in raw audio without proper headers. Has a…

This game is developed with newer messiah engine. I dumped into the resource files which are .mpk files. However, it seems that these files are using version 3 which are no compatible with previous ways. Also, mpkinfo files are deprecated for some data. Anyone knows how to handle these files?

PS-ADPCM fully documented, AMWX/XWMA investigation ongoingContextThis write-up documents the reverse engineering of the .sdt and .sdx audio formats used by Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty – Master Collection (PC). The original goal was to build tools capable of replacing in-game dialogue, music and sound effects while preserving complete compatibility with the original file formats. Achieving this required understanding the binary layouts, audio codecs, and engine constraints imposed by both formats. The resulting implementation is available as MGS2 SDT Tool, an open-source (MIT) project written in Python/PyQt6. Repository: romerojopro-web/SDT-Tool-for-MGS2MCBetterAud…

Hello Help import wav back to uasset without needing use unreal engine, I want to do it batch using python script

Hello everyone, I'm trying to rip some audio files from a Gamecube game. I successfully found the files contained in the ISO, but the format of the files seems to be unknown by every tool (I tried VGMstream with Foobar, VGMToolbox, Dragon Unpacker and many other things). The format is .str. Do anyone have an idea? I know it's doable, because someone did it but for the english version of the game, and I'm trying to rip the french audios. Thanks to everyone!

Hi all! Hope everyone's doing good! I was just curious if anyone had any idea on how to extract the voice line files for characters in Bleach Rebirth of Souls. I saw that there was a forum for the models and whatnot, but nothing on the voice files specifically. If anyone has any tips and ideas I'd greatly appreciate it!

It originally started as a joke project to create my own voice dub for a friend, but it eventually turned into a full SDT editing tool. At the moment, it only supports the SDT files included with MGS2MC Better Audio Mod (the PS3 HD Collection audio encoded as PlayStation 4-bit ADPCM / VAG).It does not support the vanilla Master Collection XWMA files yet, but I'm currently working on adding support for those as well.I hope it can be useful to the MGS2 modding community.

Anyone know how to play .snd files. Foobar2000 cant seem to play it. https://www.mediafire.com/file/4vbq91kungvausu/core00.snd/file

I managed to extract this file but can extract the wav files from this file https://www.mediafire.com/file/gejur3yi1fisq3z/vox.waves/file

As most of you probably know, audio tracks in these kind of sbs (plus sbr) files can be played and extracted to wav with foobar2000 and the vgmstream extension. Just put the sbs and sbr files in the same folder both with the same name. The sample file in the attachment comes from Madden 13 PS Vita. All the tracks in this particular sbs file are related to QB (American football) sounds. According to foobar2000, each track is encoded as ATRAC9, 60 kbps, 48kHz in one audio channel (mono). Is there a way to encode a wav (or any other common audio format) file as ATRAC9, 60 kbps, 48kHz in one audio channel (mono) to make it work with this game? Do you know if there…

Hey there. I want to extract the audio from Rayman Raving Rabbids, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, Rabbids Go Home, and Raving Rabbids Travel in Time for the Wii. Still, I am not sure how to do it properly. Can anyone help me out?

Hello there! Looking for a extractor of wwise .wem files from .pack archives in new Indiana Jones game. And, if possible, a way to rip names and paths for them from soundmetadata.bin. At the first look it uses system close to used in Doom Eternal, but sound extractor that I have for it works only with .snd files and instead of .pck there was used .bnk. Here is an example of these files, including Init.bnk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AqCfXE1r2F7azDMfHOkntMYeb_xnLuRZ/view?usp=sharing

Hi, I have a problem with this file which is from the game Urban Chaos Riot Response from the original Xbox version, that file contains audios but I don't know in what format, it seems that they are . wav, I have managed to extract audios manually with hexadecimal editing (the file does not have any type of compression) but there are many and that way it would take me a thousand years lol, so I don't know if someone can help me simplify that, some tool or some script to be able to extract everything automatically, there is the psound program but it only works for the . SAF file of the ps2 version, I hope someone can help me, thanks https://drive.google.com/fil…

So recently, I tried to rip the sound effects from the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed. I was able to get the DSP files, but when I put them in foobar2 using vgmstream, it doesn't want to convert for some reason. Using a basic txth file to brute force it only gave me a very ear-grating static noise. If anyone could help me troubleshoot this, I would be forever grateful

Hello everyone, I need some help converting .str audio files from the PC version of FIFA 99 into .wav format. I managed to extract the files from PLAYERS.str, but I cannot get them to play. I tried using Foobar2000 with the latest vgmstream component; Foobar loads the files, but they are completely silent (muted). The accompanying .off file stores the player IDs and their corresponding offsets for the .str file. Each player ID is linked to two audio files within the .str container, making a total of 5,700 files for 2,850 IDs. In the .off file, the IDs start at offset 0x8, while the audio file offsets begin at 0x2C90. Could anyone help me convert these .str files t…

I'm looking for a tool that extract subtitles and sounds. So, does DEMO.DAT or unpacked DMOs also have 3D animations? https://mega.nz/file/JGoiwTaD#Fscwuo3kdhmoqaBfa1A17rnocBLOWCHdEyxgiOeAFQs https://mega.nz/file/IKpw3a7A#W79ZejPeigp220nFS-5anTnVmawnuhafxdDwXET5oxs

Is there any tool that can rip or recompile custom voice lines or sounds into SCH files from Conflict: Desert Storm? For the PS2 and GameCube versions it uses STREAM.SWD for songs. For the PC and Xbox versions it uses PSFs. I tried frontend.sch for PC and Xbox versions but it doesn't work for foobar2000 and VGMStream but still works for files like mission1.sch. https://mega.nz/folder/cLwgVRQI#7LiukS8tYBo3BGsEaXkAvA

So various sounds from MGS4 single player (weapons\footsteps\foley) are stored inside .ssp files which can be played with foobar2000 vgstream. The problem is that most of it is packed inside a sdpack.dat which i cannot extract. The contents seems to be already known: https://github.com/Joy-Division/JoyDict/blob/master/mgs4/stream/mgs4.eng/sdpack.map And there is a tool that can extract .dat, but it doesnt work on sdpack.dat specifically. It seems to be aware of the .ssp format though: https://github.com/Joy-Division/tools-mgs/blob/master/dat-extract_enc.c Looking at the headers of the sdpack.dat and common .ssp files with HxD i can see that the header …
