Hi, I'm trying to extract sound files from Dynasty Warrior 7 BGMlink.g1l.
What tools should I use if I want to extract individual soundtrack files from this combined .g1l file?
I'm guessing it's not an archive file like .zip or .rar, so I need mapping info to cut this thing, don't I?
Is it where linkdata.bin comes into play?
But Dynasty Warrior 7 has 5 linkdata.bin files, named linkdata0 to linkdata5, which one should I use?

I know it's a lot of questions, appreciate any replies.

I think this tool might be able to help me extract voice/sfx sound format from Final Fantasy Dissidia NT, however the wbh header is in little endian so the tool will not recognize the files (header is _HBW0000), any chance the tool could be updated?

Here's a few sample files;

I'm very busy. If after many months of searching you will still be unable to make it work, maybe i will look into it.

Hmm I see, that's understandable.

Would it be possible to obtain the source code of the program?
It might be possible to edit/adapt it to work with the new format.

it will not help you
the files are little endian, so the tool

your files are totally different, its another codec
probably AT9, usually used on PS4

That worked incredible, +5 webs for you brendan19!

Additionally only a note to any individual who's keen on knowing about legal steroids gnc... In the base envelope of the amusement at <base>\mdat\High, you can basically rename the .dat records to .avi, at that point they will play as typical video documents too.

Hello. I downloaded the Koeitecmo extractor files, but when I place the files in the LINKDATA folder, and run the exe, it does not work. It crashes immediately. I am using this for Berserk and the Band of the Hawk game, which has 4 LINKDATA files. I am not sure how to fix this or use it in this case.
