Edit: Working script is attached!

Here's how you get the sdh files from the game:
1) extract the main *.big archives with Luigi's script (http://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/ea_big4.bms)
2) search for *.rpk and move everything into one single directory, rename duplicate file names
3) use the rpk unpacker from this post: viewtopic.php?t=11073
4) move the extracted folder structure into the main directory (combine folders)
5) search for *.sdh - you'll find the corresponding *.sdt in the same folder

Edit: updated to account for EA-XAS and EA-XA streams. Multichannel works fine, too. For the above game these are saved in the strange order "Fl, C, Fr, Rl, Rr, LFE".

Those .snu files play ok for me in Foobar/vgmstream, although some of them do seem slightly off - music_5 seems cut off, might be just looped. And music_1 has 50 seconds of silence at the end, but that may just be how the file is from looking at the end of the data for that one.

Edit: I should read properly - those samples are not the ones you generated.

Sorry, double post!

The files outputted from your script are 0x20 bytes too short, which affects the file being recognised in Foobar/vgmstream. So you just need to account for that extra 0x20 bytes of header and then they play correctly.

OMFG, why am I this stupid sometimes? I wrote "SIZE" instead of "PSIZE" and didn't notice it... Then again, I'm already 38, so go figure. XD
Thanks for that embarrassing correction, lol.

Made two more updates for *.sdt files with "ADAT" files as well as for EAXA streams (PS2).
Please note that the subtitles are skipped in the resulting exa.snu files.

I've tried with little success. But just to be reassured, will they be ripped with proper names?
