http://aluigi.org/papers.htm#fsbext

Tool for extracting the files from FSB archives, used in the FMOD framework.

It supports:
FSB1, FSB2, FSB3, FSB3.1, FSB4 and FSB5

And it has been tested against a huge number of games and different FSB archives.

I have just released a new version, 0.3.3, that fixes the calculation of channels and frequency for FSB5.
Thanks to brendan19 for pointing me on this error.

When i extract this file with -m option and fsbext 0.3.4a i get 0 size output file, with fsbext 0.3.3 everethyng is fine.

Another bug:

Try to simply rebuild file below without changing sound and output .fsb file will differ from original file. In rebuilded file size on offset 0x54 is wrong - http://puu.sh/nvDSf/4bd70974ba.png

The problem with -m apparently it's just a bug because when mpeg_fix is disabled there are no instructions at all to dump the file.

Anyway for the mp3 files in FSB my suggestion is to use the -M option that dumps all the channels separetely which is a lot better.

The other problem may be related to the rebuilding of multichannel files, I have a note in my TODO about something similar but I don't know if it's the same.

To be honest at the moment the development of fsbext is on-hold mainly because oggs are not supported yet and rebuilding was ok in the past but currently (FSB5) it appears to be useless because the official FMOD tools should do the job.
I have also a note about a certain type32 and the calculation of the number of channels that was encoutered only once.

Second file i uploaded is mono, not multichannel, so it seems to be another bug with sizes.

Hope you will fix this bugs someday, cause fsbext is wery usefull tool and it would be nice to have stable version without bugs.

The reason of that different byte in the rebuilt File5817.fsb is simply that fsbext automatically uses padding in the reimported files.
You can find the full details in the source code fsbext.c at line 1131.
So there is nothing to fix.

Do you plan on adding OggS header for fsb files that use the Vorbis format?

aluigi, posted Thu Jun 23, 2016 6:37 am (14686)

It will be not supported until a full working source code for "raw ogg chunks" to "ogg vorbis" or another easy solution will be provided.

OK, so is there any way to possess all .fsb files at once using a batch mode?

Or cygwin "find": find -iname "*.fsb" -exec fsbext {} ;

Huh. Thanks for pointing me that out, it'll sure save me from processing each file at a time.
One question though is how can you find the password contained inside these FSB files?

aluigi, posted Fri Jul 22, 2016 4:23 am (15541)

---

The type of encryption algorithm allows to see the clear-text password in the original zero bytes.
fsbext automatically show the first bytes of the archive if it's protected by password and you may guess some characters.
Usually I just run "fsbext -E 1 file.fsb" and then I check the generated file with a hex editor, looking moreover at the final bytes.
Then it's just a guess and try till the decryption is perfect.

You can also try guessfsb:

Heh. I tried that with an .fsb file and nothing really changed between these two generated files.
Here's a sample.

aluigi, posted Fri Jul 22, 2016 5:03 am (15544)

That one is not an FSB archive and it's not encrypted.

AnonBaiter, posted Fri Jul 22, 2016 2:09 pm (15547)

^ Well then it's a mystery that the Speech.fsb file has a .fsb container.

aluigi, posted Fri Jul 22, 2016 4:03 pm (15549)

---

In fact it doesn't have a FSB container.
What you have there is just a sequence of aligned Gamecube ADPCM streams with a header before each stream (for example 0x5622 is just the frequency 22050)

Basically, I got that archive from a Wii game made by Rockstar(Bully Scholarship Edition). That's it.

EDIT: So I used your script and this is what I got. Also, the output files are supposed to be .genh, not .gen.
If you wish I can upload what's left from the archive(.bin, .lst).

EDIT2: And last but not least:

Code:

  00000000 31006      00009dcf.dat

Error: incomplete input file 0: E:\ROCKSTAR_LEL\BULLY_SCHOLARSHIP_EDITION\WII\audio\PLAYLIST\Speech.fsb
       Can't read 4 bytes from offset 4c1b8800.
       Anyway don't worry, it's possible that the BMS script has been written
       to exit in this way if it's reached the end of the archive so check it
       or contact its author or verify that all the files have been extracted.
       Please check the following coverage information to know if it's ok.

  coverage file 0    96%   1233909539 1276872704

Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
  4   get DUMMY1 long

The error with the last file is correct because there is no end-of-file check in the script.

Hey guys.
Quick question.
While using fsbext, if it can find a partial password, how many characters should it be? and you count from where?
I have the following results on a file, please advise, if possible, thank you.
