Extracting music From POLLEN fsb files.

Post by atylo »

Hello. I'm having trouble extracting the ogg files (Vorbis format) from POLLEN (it's a game) .fsb files. I've read many topics about that, have tried a lot myself, but either I can't extract an .ogg file or it's not playable. As I understood, those files are just encrypted. But I've seen two topics here where people were given the "keys" to decrypt those files. So could you find me a key and/or explain how to obtain them?

The files I need to decrypt: https://mega.nz/#!R1wSRbgZ!kfNnSE-_71hu3rmgMmabhOkoho9NaIXbghTbikOmlZM

No encryption.
resources~amb_titan_bg_01.fsb contains uncompressed audio and you can use fsbext on it.
Instead the other two archives you provided contain ogg files so the file dumped "as-is" by fsbext is not much useful, you need to use this tool: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1901

Oh. Well, yes, resources~amb_titan_bg_01.fsb appears to be not encrypted, my bad. I extracted them using Unity.bms script for QuickBms.

I don't know how to use this program, nor fsbext, I didn't find any readme or guide. Also, if I try to run both programs (fsb_aud_extr and fmod_extr), the error "An invalid parameter was passed to the function" appears.

They are command-line tools, but fsbext works also by simply double-clicking on the executable. It's really super easy to use it.

Regarding the tools in that link I gave you probably it's better if you follow the instructions there.

Yes, I see about fsbext, I also found a readme on Github ^^"
But the link you gave me leads me to a forum topic, and there is no explanation how to use those command-line tools.

Oh, wait. I got how to use those command-line tools. I just thought there would be some explanation if just run them via console with no additional input. Thanks for your help ^^"

(Syntax is: fsb_aud_extr.exe File_name.fsb)

You need these dll files too:
download/file.php?id=1781

The usage is very simple:
fsb_aud_extr.exe YOUR_FILE.FSB

If you don't know how to use the command-line, you can just make a file.bat containing the instruction using the name of the fsb file you want to extract.

If you search "fsb_aud_extr.exe" on google you can find more examples.

*edit* my reply arrived too late, hope it's useful to other users.
