You are the human! I needed this for a small project I'm doing with some of the 2.8 models. Regards!

What would this project be?

Truth be told, its more interesting get textures over models, specially keyblades textures

How so?

So, I want to attempt extracting-replacing sounds in the JWE .aux files, regulated by a .ovl file.
Does anyone know how the format works?

Yes, if you're allowed to. I haven't been able to get the disc yet either.

I'm back, sorry for the delay. Please PVT me.

Yes, the PKG file would be good - although it's probably about 40 GB, I would imagine!

Yes it is, even more so unpacked. Do you need links?

I don't think it's the same thing, unfortunately. I think I really need to get my hands on the disc to have a proper look. I might then have a better idea of getting all of the audio.

any way I can help, perhaps with the PKG?

What I did with the PS2 version was to dump the first 20 MB or so of the disc sectors and then look at it in a hex editor, and I found a file table with filenames. You can do a search for some of the following filenames to see if you find anything similar in the PS4 version: 001.pss 011.pss 012.pss...

I just used PSound on your SND file to see what was there, and it found 3 sounds in old-style PSX format. No filenames are stored for these. I suspect there may be other sounds in the file in a different format, but I can't find anything specific from trying to play the data with various codecs. Th...

Unless someone knows different, I think they've used exactly the same audio data for the PS4 version and just updated the graphics. If that's the case, then you'll only get the voices mixed in with the background music, which is the majority (all?) of the dialogue in Re:CoM. There's such a mixture ...

Your .SVM file had some audio, but it seems more like ambient background rather than cutscene audio. Is it specifically the cutscene voice audio in Chain of Memories you need? The cutscenes in the PS2 version seem to have exactly the same audio, and I can rip those ones as they're contained in .PSS...

There's definitely some background music in that .SVM file. Do you have a few more examples? I may be able to work out the format and how to extract them.

oh yes, of that and more - including battle voices. Which one would you prefer?

There's a folder called "stream" with such a file example: ST0100. This one sounds moderately promising.

I'm not sure. I know someone who has the disc, so I'll get it and have a look as soon as I can.

I've got most files out, if that helps.

No problem. Do you have an example of a Re:CoM cutscene? I could take a look at it, see if I can make anything of it. Anything's possible!

I can send you something, definitely. What is the file extension of cutscenes?
