Kingdom hearts 1.5 original audio files

[Devilot]

Are the audio files (voice and battle-quotes) of the Final 1.5 Mix different from the original final mix, in terms of quality? if so, how can they be extracted?

[GovanifY]

I don't really checked at them but I'm sure I already saw them inside some 1.5 mdls

If u want to extract them, use this script(not made by me, but by Falo)

Really simple format:

Code: Select all

# Square Enix - Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix *.mdls
# by Falo
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org

set MAX_FILES 1024

for x = 0 < MAX_FILES

GetDString Name 0x20
get Offset long
get Size long
get empty long
get empty long

math Offset += 0xC000

if Size == 0
cleanexit
endif

log Name Offset Size

next x

the model is the xa_ew_3020_mdlsc0.cvbb

thanks! directly on the ISO?

[GovanifY]

Sorry for the late reply, not so much on XentaX.
Nope, that's inside the file kingdom.mself which can be extracted w/ this script:

Code: Select all

endian big

idstring "MSF"

goto 0x10
get numFiles long
get ofsTable long
goto ofsTable

for x = 0 < numFiles

GetDString Name 0x20
get Offset LONGLONG
get Size LONGLONG
get empty LONGLONG
get empty LONGLONG

log Name Offset Size

next x

Once again, it will require quickbms. Extract the mself, then decrypt the file w/ my toolkit: http://govanify.x10host.com/_files/SDATA_DEC.exe (just drag 'n drop the sdat on him) then use the mdls script for extract the files.
Bye and good luck, GovanifY

[Devilot]

oh they changed also that format... thanks

[GovanifY]

Well they tipically change practically every format, MIPS isn't used so they needed to recode partly the game. The format is, iirc and afaik, a simple LAME-3 format. Not a big deal. I'm not sure but I think they don't changed the quality. But maybe they did b\c square were sayin' they were registerin' somethin' a while ago, so who knows

[Devilot]

I meant the archive format

[GovanifY]

Ah, ya they changed every format which is like: NAME_SDAT. This pattern means the file is a container like the mdls one. They did that when rewritiung the game. They were unable to make something which looks like KH1/2(IDX who contains the LBA, flags, etc...+IMG who contains the file)b\c they didn't needed any LBA. So they just basically used $0ny formats for pack/encrypt their files, I think b\c they were too lazy for create custom formats for a HD remix

Bye, GovanifY

thanks again
