Do you need some way to alter Sims Bustin Out's music files?

Post by carcrazedalex586 »

So, when I extracted SBO's music with one of those BMS scripts, none of the headerless files do open in PSound. What's with that? Sims 2 PS2's music does open well, but why doesn't Bustin' Out's open well?

Looks like headerless ima adpcm, but i can't restore header without any values from it. You can try sox, maybe it will work

Code: Select all

sox.exe input.ima output.wav

The results are 8000hz country music (slowed down) and menu music (slowed down even more, yet messed up). How do I change the frequency in SoX?

So I have been converting a lot of SBO sound files and I got Ah Lah Tak Kina in one of them. Plus, how do I get rid of the mess in the menu music?
