July 31, 20241 yr Localization I was looking to get sound effects and voices out of the Monsters vs. Aliens game and I'm pretty sure they're found in the Streams.dat file. I used a QuickBMS script on multiple versions and I couldn't figure out where to go from there The one named "Monsters Aliens Streams" It didn't work on the PS3 or Wii version The PC version would just extract 3 files, one of them being 800MB The best results I got were the Xbox 360 version where it actually extracted a whole lot of .raw files but I couldn't find any program I could open them with I'll leave samples of both the files from PC and a few from the Xbox 360 version if anyone can give pointers Streams.dat (PC) Extracted .raw files (PC) Xbox 360 raw file.zip
July 31, 20241 yr Supporter Solution For the extracted 360 files, use this TXTH file (put it on the same directory as those raw files then use a media player that supports vgmstream plugin such as foobar2000) codec = XMA1 channels = 1 sample_rate = 48000 num_samples = data_size Name the TXTH file ".raw.txth" then after you installed foobar2000 and the vgmstream plugin, drag the raw files to play them.

I tried the txth method on the PC version's raw files and it didn't work. There's a few samples in the zip raw.zip
August 20, 20241 yr I'm using this site for raw files playback, but plays MvA audio files (from PC version) terribly and sounds like someone got messed with equaliser, the only thing is to figure out how play these files normally. P.S. Switch audio converter can't convert these raw files normally too, same result as online raw audio player.
