Hello,

I have trouble to find tools to decode Tony Hawk's Underground 2 XBOX music_pcm.wad/music_pcm.dat. (Source Files)

I tried the Gun (Xbox) sound/music extractor or the "DAWB wad*.dat files" script without success.

The Xbox format is different from PS2, don't know what is the music format inside.

Thanks!

The codec is the Xbox adpcm, I wrote a command-line tool (and also a Winamp plugin) to decode and play these files long time ago:

You can also mention in the script title that this is compatible with Tony Hawk's Project 8 (Xbox)

Thanks for the info, I have replaced the title of the script with a more generic title and added the two games in the other comment (for Google search)

Ok, you can also add compatibility to "Tony Hawk's American Wasteland".

The only title not compatible is Tony Hawk's Underground 1 (despite using the same format), can I share the files here? Thanks.

Tony Hawk's Underground 1 (Xbox files)

There is a memory allocation error while using the script.

Script 0.1.1.

The difference is simply that the files in THUG1 already have the RIFF header and so they don't contain the information for playing them.

Thanks!

You can update the head like this if you want:

Code:

# Tony Hawk's series Xbox dat/wad (script 0.1.1)
#   Tony Hawk's Underground
#   Tony Hawk's Underground 2
#   Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
#   Tony Hawk's Project 8
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org

Necro-post alarm... sorry.

I've re-written the script to support "Gun" for PC, but something is wrong - the files don't play properly or not at all.
Here's the dat, the script and the first 1MB of the first wad: https://mega.nz/#!GlNDEYwA!3Sq8MKZTokJ6 ... UQhD4qEuyI
I've added the adjusted Xbox ADPCM header to enter the variables from the DAT file. Any ideas?

xbadpdec allows to play raw files too and indeed the data dumped "as-is" sounds like garbage (tried both 1 and 2 channels).
That's not xbox adpcm apparently.

Damn... I'll ask on the hcs forum, they know their ADPCM stuff.
Thanks.
