Does anybody know of any software programs I can use to extract a particular .PAK file from the PS2 game Ghost Recon 2001? I have reason to believe that it contains certain audio I've been searching for.

In the meantime this is a raw dumper of all the data inside the PAK:

Code:

get PAK_SIZE asize
for OFFSET = 0 != PAK_SIZE
    get DUMMY long
    if DUMMY != 2   # last is 0x63
        break
    endif
    get NAMESZ long
    getdstring NAME NAMESZ
    get TYPE long
    get DUMMY long
    get DUMMY long
    string NAME   /
    if TYPE == 0
            get SIZE long
            savepos OFFSET
            log NAME OFFSET SIZE
            math OFFSET   SIZE
            goto OFFSET
    else    # 0x13
        for x = 0 < 2
            get SIZE long
            savepos OFFSET
            log NAME OFFSET SIZE
            math OFFSET   SIZE
            goto OFFSET
        next x
    endif
next

No idea about the content of the extracted data, it may be some compression (???) or audio encoded with some codec (but it's not PS adpcm which is strange for a PS game)

Can you upload an audio sample for me to look at?

Here's the file. As to know, I'm looking for the 'MENU' music track that play's out during the loading screen sequence.
