Madagascar (PC) .RWS extracted

[Mygoshi]

And can you please help me to get original named extracted files please?
(sorry to ask another thing each time)

[id-daemon]

But you said you got a tool from Activision to do that?

[Mygoshi]

I was joking lol.

[id-daemon]

Well, after studying the format, I think I can extract them all with names.

But still, do you think PC version is better?

[Mygoshi]

Iirc PS2/Xbox have the best sound quality.

[id-daemon]

Then you don't need to extract PC version. Or you need names from PS2? Then give me PS2 files.

[Mygoshi]

I'm sorry but I think you'll need to DL the iso, because I can't upload each files, that would be very long you know... I don't have such good connection.

[id-daemon]

So you need names from PS2? Why? You already ripped all files from there.

[Mygoshi]

Yes, but I want the original names, that is interesting for me. Basically, I need to name the tracks correctly, because I will release a soundtrack.

[id-daemon]

ok i got the iso

[Mygoshi]

Thanks.

[Mygoshi]

Is it downloaded?

[id-daemon]

yes

[Mygoshi]

you're working on it?

[id-daemon]

Not yet. I need some free time to do that.

I think you already tried making names manually yourself? And failed? There are only 10 files, 10 tracks each.

[id-daemon]

i think i know what they did on PC. Check out this new decoder version.

[Mygoshi]

Awesome, can I ask why does the decoder produces radically higher quality output files compared to the previous one? It's exactly like in-game now.

[id-daemon]

Because i found what they did on PC. And made a new decoder. They made a doublesampling. Stupid, fast, but very popular method from old PC games, from DOS times.

[Mygoshi]

I tried this with PS2 and it's normal that it doesn't work since it doesn't use IMA but Sony ADPCM. The type of codec used on PC (close to IMA) has artifacts noises (buzzy sound), so I was wondering if you were able to write an extractor program for the PS2 version? Thank you in advance.

ok i'm working on it
