Game Resource Extraction Method

 Game resources include pictures, text, music, animation, and other data resources of the game. Although many game resources are open or compressed in common formats, many games have been packaged in special formats. If you want to obtain these resources, you can find dedicated resource extraction tools.

However, if people simply get audio or animation in the game, who else will buy the developer to produce CD and VCD!

The following describes how to extract game resources:

General InstallationProgram: The cab file is actually a package compressed by InstallShield when compiling the installation file. You can use InstallShield cab file viewer to browse and expand the package of the installation program packaged by InstallShield.

Sakura war:

As a fan of the Sakura War series, except for sakura War 1, the music files have always been unable to find the music files in the installation files, such as MP3 WAV Ogg and other audio files. How can I get the music files there ?????

In fact, the music file is always in front of us, but we can't see it. Why can't we see it ?? Because all the music files in the Sakura war are hidden in several files, the file extension is the AFS File.

First, let's understand what is the AFS File? The AFS File is a file system developed by cri adpcm (CRI), a Japanese software company.
It seems to be a file that actually contains hundreds or even thousands of files this technology is widely used in DC, ps2, X-BOX and other game machine types
Afsexplorer can change the audio image in the game or even edit an AFS tool.

Practice!

Sakura War 1 does not need to be played directly by any WAV player, but although the music file is WAV, the sound played is terrible and I don't know how to deal with it.

Sakura war 2 game Folder/sakura1 and/sakura3, or on the installation disc, the extension: s2s, cube media can play, but the sound played like Sakura War 1 is terrible, I do not know how to deal with it.

Sakura war 3 is directly under the game Folder:
ADX. AFS is used for scenes and animated sound effects.
Endsong. AFS: endsong
Voice. AFS: Voice
Sndlist. AFS: music! But it cannot be played directly. afsexplorer extracts those *. the wbk file is actually an MP3 file, which is exactly MP1 and can be played by any player. However, cube media (described below) cannot directly play the wbk file of AFS.

Sakura war 4 in the game Folder/sfddata
The files are basically the same as those in sakura 3.
Only sndlist. AFS does not include music
Put music under sfddata/bgm_adx
ADX File

For usage of the Chinese version, first click File Import. The AFS File is completely imported into the installation directory. The files in the file will be displayed. If you just want to listen to the audio in the file, click View and select a sound player

To use the English version, click "file" and then click "Import AFS File..." to import the AFS File. Then click "View" and select "sound player)

The above tool can play the audio in AFS, but cannot convert the file to MP3 or WAV or Ogg.
The tool described below is much better.
Introduction 3 cube Media Player 2 tool this tool is a favorite of TV game fans ~~~ He can find video and audio files in DC, PS, and PS2 and convert them to MP3, WAV, Ogg, and other audio files in avi mpg formats.

As only the English version is available, I will introduce the English operation method. Click "file" and select "scan file...
(Scan files) Find the AFS File in the installation directory and open it to view the audio file.

You don't need to talk about the playback buttons below ~~~~~~~ Cube Media Player 2 supports scanned files

Supported information
1. Sony ADPCM
This type of audio is a compressed audio format developed by Sony and is widely used in PS and PS2 games.
2. cri ADPCM
An audio compression format developed by a software company (CRI) in Japan, is widely used in DC, ps2, X-BOX.
3. PSS video
Sony provides standard PS2 video solutions for various gaming companies. The video part adopts standard MPEG2 encoding. The audio is coded using Sony ADPCM or PCM.
4. SFD video
A video solution developed by a software company (CRI) in Japan is widely used in DC, ps2, X-BOX. The video part adopts MPEG and MPEG2 encoding, and the audio part adopts cri adpcm encoding.
5. Str video
A video format developed by Sony and used on PS. It adopts the same encoding method as JPEG.
6. Xa audio
An audio format developed by Sony and used on PS. It adopts the same encoding method as Sony ADPCM.
7. cdda audio
PCM CD

The formats of AFS and CVM are cri-based file systems. Therefore, when you find these two files, you can basically determine that the audio or video types contained in the game are ADX or SFD.
The VAS file is a Sony ADPCM package.

Now you can play the ADX file, but if you still want to convert the ADX file into MP3 WAV Ogg and other audio files for playing in the computer MP3 file, then cube Media Player 2 is your best choice.

Of course, my explanation is only available in the English version. Click Edit and select operations and click convert to .. (convert)
There will be a window for convert settings to set convert to convert Cancel to cancel

Sakura wars uses the cri sfd video. cube Media Player 2 can convert SFD to Avi or mpg, but the conversion will separate the audio from the video because it does not support combining the video with the audio ~

PS, pS2

Because the PS game CD file system is not in the CDFs format used on the PC, you must use "Search for PS information" to play the audio and video of the PS game ". If you are lucky, you will find some XA audio and STR videos.

? Why can't I find audio and video?
If you cannot find the Xa audio, it means that the game does not have XA audio and may use seq audio (similar to the Midi Music format) or mod audio (sampling audio ), these two types of audio are not supported by the cube media player.
If you cannot find the STR video, the game does not have the STR video. Or STR videos that are not stored in the standard mode, such as ffseries and ACE combat3, cannot be searched because the game video logo is invalid. The format that requires special support is not supported by the cube media player.

PS2 game:

Literacy before playback: P
Some of the above are some things on the PS2 game CD. Let's take a look at it. Because the PS2 CD adopts a standard DVD file format, it can be recognized by windows. Therefore, our tasks become much simpler. First, you need to find the following file name: VAS ss2 adx pss sfd afs cvm. If we find it, we will have half the victory. The first five types of files can be directly played by cube media. After an AFS file is opened, search operations may occur. The CVM format can only use "scan file media information" to search for media.
! Technical information!
The formats of AFS and CVM are cri-based file systems. Therefore, when you find these two files, you can basically determine that the audio or video types contained in the game are ADX or SFD.
The VAS file is a Sony ADPCM package.

Cannot find these files? It seems that the problem is complicated, and the file may be renamed or packaged by a game company in its own format. You don't need to worry, because you still have three ways to capture what you need.

The first method is, of course, "scanning file media information". Select the file you want to search for and wait...
? Which file do I search?
Okay. First, you need some luck. Of course you need some skills. You can find some large files, or files stored in the sound BGM directory or files with BGM or sound in the file name. You need patience.
? Why is search so slow?
Searching Sony ADPCM without any logo will be a very long process. If you do not want to search for audio, please remove the audio search before searching. This will be much faster.
? After the Sony ADPCM Audio is searched out, it is difficult to play it back, but some sound can be heard. What should I do?
You can see the attributes of the media. There is an option in it that is channel interpolation. You can choose one by one to check which one is correct.
? After trying the above method, although the video can be played normally, the sound will still pop up?
This is due to some special storage methods of the game, such as the konami game. In this case, please reduce the start position of the media in the attribute by 16 bytes, if you do not need to reduce 16 bytes (for example, the original start position is 20016 bytes, and now the input is 20000 bytes), normal playback is normal. (It seems that this problem cannot be solved. Every game is different, Khan)

The second method is to use the "Search PS2 information" method, like "Search PS information", which will scan the DVD sector to search for the hidden media information on the optical disk.
? Why should I use such a feature?
Similarly, some game files are hidden, such as the ffseries (boring). You can use this method to scan hidden information.
? Why can't I play the media after a scanned disc?
Not supported. You can only export the media to the hard disk before enabling playback.
! You must note that you cannot scan the audio in Sony ADPCM chain format on a CD!

The third method is to view the Game Database on the home page.
! I have my own game audio information, but the game database does not!
So please go to the Forum to announce it. I would like to thank you very much for your generosity :)

? Why does it take me a lot of time to find what I need?
Many European and American game companies prefer to use their own special formats of audio and video, so this makes the cube Media Player powerless. Fortunately, Japanese game companies produce a lot of games. In addition, European and American gaming companies like to adopt standard PCM formats (such as ea's freedom fighters and tianyao 3), so please use the function directly (PCM cannot be searched ), by default, the file is opened in PCM chain format,

! The cube media player does not support playing audio and video of all games!
