I've been looking everywhere a way to rip the voice files from this game for a while, however, all i find is VGM ripping tutorials. It's the first time i've been doing audio rips for PS3 games.
Can anyone tell me what do i need to use and where do i need to look for the voice files?
Please, i am in dire need of those voice files for a project. Thank you!

The psarc files are for sure archives, have you already tried to extract them?

Try http://aluigi.org/bms/brink.bms

I tried extracting stream.psarc, and it extracted lots of .PAC files, however i don't know how to open them or if they contain the audio files. I searched and found out .PAC files contain models and the sort.

sys.psarc only contained some folders which contain, i believe, save file icons only.

However, when i tried extracting EXFB.psarc, it gave me this message

offset filesize filename
--------------------------------------
00000000 10 00000000.dat

Error: offset in PutVarChr (0xb80ff00b) is negative

Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
79 putvarchr MEMORY_FILE UncompressedSize 0

Press ENTER or close the window to quit

And i tested with both, the normal quickbms and the 4gb files one.

So apparently they are not the same format of brink.bms.
Maybe upload their filecutted files anyway, use http://aluigi.org/bms/filecutter.bms on one of these psarc files.

Done.

The problem is the 40 bits UncompressedSize field at offset 0x52, the expected value should be 0x58939d while the value there is 0x1b80ff000... no sense

It gave me this message now.

Not sure why the .sparc file is named .IDX

Ah sorry, I posted in the wrong topic.
There is still no solution for brink.bms

Hope a solution comes up soon, though. :/

I found a way of extracting the .sparc files using Total Commander. And i found a bunch of file formats, however, i am clueless about which of these are the audio files for the voices.

.dds Textures

Together in folder
.EIDX 1 FILE
.OELA
.NDP3


Together in folder
.VAGL
.unknown


Together in folder
.unknown
.OMO

Together in folder
.NDP3
.VBN

Together in folder
.BSDF
.BABB
.BSFO

Together in folder
.unknown
.VOT
.KPKP

.LMB

.VBN

Those are all the file formats i found. There are like 35k folders with these files. Not sure where and how should i start to look for the voice files.

Regarding the script I guess the problem wasn't that field but just the huge size of the archived file, over 7Gb when decompressed.
I opted for using a temporary_file instead of the RAM and in theory it should work.
It's a very rare case and I don't like to use temporary_files, let me know if it works: script 0.3.5 http://aluigi.org/bms/brink.bms
You need to use quickbms_4gb_files.exe and be patient while it works.

I got a .PAC file, do i need to open it with a special program or what?

Here I have access only to the initial 5 Mb of that file and it's clearly a sequence of files, mainly FHM archives but also some other data in the middle.
I guess the index may be at the end of the PAC archive or in other files but I have no access to the original psarc (and I'm not interested in downloading it in case you are thinking about it eh eh eh).

Anyway it looks like you already extracted everything through that plugin for TC so doesn't matter.
Ah, what was the plugin you used?

RolexWatch, posted Sun Apr 22, 2018 10:34 pm (34272)

I used this plugin for TC to extract the file (I didn't notice it extracted a .PAC file): https://totalcmd.net/plugring/PSARC.html

Then i used this program from here To extract the files from the .PAC file: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f ... 335#p92335

And these are all the file formats i found so far:
.dds Textures

The format described on http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?p=92288#p92288 is the same of http://aluigi.org/bms/kidou_senshi_fhm.bms which is the script I created yesterday based on the raw data I collected here.
Apparently that's all for the extractor, but probably that tool ("xentax.exe"??? As Administrator??? seriously???) prases also the archived NDXR and NDP3 I saw inside or probably not based on the list of extensions you gave in your previous post.

Proprietary formats are a pain, but in that post the author mentions ttt2 and tr models, whatever they mean.
Anyway that's the max I can do.

It's ok. You've been of great help. Thank you so much!

Also, TTT2 and TR means Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Tekken Revolution.

I did some more exploring and i found out EXFB.psarc was the file that actually contained the model files.
So i tried extracting the .PAC files from stream.psarc using the http://aluigi.org/bms/kidou_senshi_fhm.bms file, however i can't extract the files, it gives me a message that reads:

I did a full research and most errors mark those two values. Sorry if we are bothering you with this. It is not our intention. My apologies. :/

Use http://aluigi.org/bms/filecutter.bms on that PAC file and upload the 2 generated files

There are more than 2 pac files, i only shared two of them as all of them showed those two values when extracting. But here they are.

I had to upload it to mediafire since the file is about 35 mb.

No, they have no sense.
STREAM0A71CFD6.PAC is completely random data.
STREAM0EA1704F.PAC is a container of files without index (which is probably in another file), without index you can only run a file ripper on it for dumping the RIFF files and possibly other known formats.
