Extracting music from the game

Overview

Extract music/audio/sounds from the game files

Tools Required

Binary Domain has a sick soundtrack and although some people have ripped it via a capture card from their xbox/ps3 sitting idle in the game as the music plays I wanted the original HQ tracks so I experimented and found a method to get them out.

Tools needed

CRI Packed File Maker

HCA2WAV

SFIV Audio Manager

There are some other tools which also work like the cpk quickbms script but these I found do the job well and have more functionality.

Steps

Step1.

Go to directory
C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonBinary Domainsound

or if you have a different version of the game (non-steam china copy) go to the rootsound folder

here are the audio streams for the game.

I’m going to be going through on how to extract the music so what we want to look at is

stream.cpk

Open up CRI Packed File Maker

[link]

Click here and load the stream.cpk, once it has loaded and the listbox populated you will see all the audio streams.

Locate one of the bgm_ files in this tutorial case I’m using

bgm_vs_spider.cpk

and extract it!

You will get a .aax file output

bgm_vs_spider_fin_wav.aax

Fire up SFIV Audio Manager

Extract the .aax pack to a new folder

Now using HCA2WAV

you can convert it to a wav file.

NOTE SFIV’s extractor for binarydomain’s ADX files don’t work so we use HCA2WAV

HCA2WAV.exe bgm_vs_spider_wav.001.adx DUMPSONG.wav pause

Once it has been converted I use audacity to merge all the files
-start
-loop
-end

and then save it out as song.wav

Thats it, this concept can be applied to the sound files like speech dialogue as well just some of the files need to be converted from AIX2 to ADX using

aix2adx.exe

Thanks for reading hope this is helpful I guess,
