Hitman Contracts on the PS3 uses PSARC instead of the original WAV WHD Headers found on the PC, XBox etc versions. Is it possible to write a script for this to get the audio out? The Xbox 360 version uses BIN Container. I will upload some examples, see if anyone can help. I will included both the PS3 & Xbox 360 version incase one is either to work with then the other. Would be great if someone could help thanks.

For the psarc files you can try this script:
http://aluigi.org/bms/brink.bms

The BIN files seem complex.

For WHD/WAV:

The brink.bms script worked like a charm on the psarc files, thanks. the WHD/WAV script wouldn't work on the output wav/whd files unfortunately.

what you mean?
the script worked correctly with the sample files you provided

Well, the brink.bms script gets the files inside the psarc containers correctly. Once the whd/wav files are out they can't just be played natively, well these extracted wav audio files can't be anyways for some reason. I then proceeded to use the hitman_whd_wav.bms script on them and the output wasn't much really. I was maybe thinking there was audio inside like the PC version but it was just a few blank white files in the end. Maybe I missed something here other then what I've said. The HD versions of contracts and blood money have extra files which if you compare both console versions to the PC versions, you'll see that. that's why I'm interested in obtaining the audio.

As far as I remember I was able to play the extracted wav audio without any problem using vgmstream, in fact the script automatically builds the SS2 header for making the raw PS adpcm data playable.

After using the brink.bms script to get the files contained inside the psarc files or file, i then use your hitman_whd_wav.bms script on the wav/whd files and i get the following error message.

Provide a list of all the files C09-1_MAIN_NEW_LOC_ENGLISH.* you have there.

In short you provided a WHD and the related WAV file therefore the script expects a WHD and WAV file too.

Well the files inside the C09-1 Folder are as follows:



Is that what you mean? If you mean the WAV/WHD files in there:

C09-1_MAIN.WAV
C09-1_MAIN_NEW_LOC_ENGLISH.WHD
C09-1_MAIN_NEW_LOC_FRENCH.WHD
C09-1_MAIN_NEW_LOC_SPANISH.WHD

Contracts uses these bin archives, but 2 still uses zip like both do on pc. 360/ps3 have some different textures, but I don't know about these bin archives.

360 C01-1_LOAD and MAIN.bin

They contain data, I don't see any index for extracting the content.
