Here.

And yes, I modified the filecutter.bms script up to 12mb for my own purposes.

Yeah, try these tools whose links are offline after a year.
How about a stable link instead? Or maybe a bms script for that matter.

Well, the "Konami DAT Utility" tool did not work with those .dat files.
I guess we have to sort these files out themselves.

Just to make sure:
bgm.dat - contains MTA2 files
codec.dat - compressed dialogue files
demo.dat - has a lot of files, being the biggest .dat file and all
movie.dat - contains video/audio/subtitle files
sdpack.dat - contains SSPF/BWAV/SSW2(it's what says in the header of each file) files
speech.dat - ^^(I might go deeper into this one soon enough)
stage00.dat-stage05.dat - seems like there are animation/modelling/shading/texturing files in there
vox.dat - contains MTA2 files

What was that "Script pending" referred to? Are you making a script?

I barely know how to write a script, so I'm referring to a script request.
But speaking of that, I think I might try... however, I simply don't know what to do with the data.
