Shenmue 1 & 2 make use of TAD and TAC files to store the main game data.

Samples are linked below:-

common_5b6c4cd0.tac
https://mega.nz/#!bGwhjDTY!E_cff5bTS57h ... cVJoNa2W94

common_5b6c4cd0.tad
https://mega.nz/#!GCo1QRAQ!wLbGunDJkKDl ... j1PZ-ElQf0

I ran the comtype_scan2.bms script and seen some data I hadn't seen before on the 32nd attempt:-

32.dmp
https://mega.nz/#!6fxFnbDa!qYl1s8v_bedb ... jt0174nPX8

A script to extract and recompile would be awesome and greatly appreciated :)

See Readme.txt for instructions.Notes: Automatic conversion of the localization files, but there's some strange encodings, so some languages will not be extracted, but english files seems ok.
Not tested ingame.

Can these tools be used to extract game audio and video cut-scenes out of the TAD/TAC files too?

Edit:There are many files with sounds and in many formats, check the *.aixf files to get the *.adx audio and *.adf files to get RIFF. There's a lot of tool for the formats on Stream ripping tools.
