SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Crab (PS2) *.PS2

Post by Mygoshi »

Hi!

Apparently the music of this game is hidden in these PS2 archives.

Is it possible to extract their content?

Thanks!

There is a sort of header at the beginning but it's not clear if there are real information about multiple audio (0xddc8 is the size of the file / 0x800 and there are some 0xddc* there).
What's sure is that there is VAG audio from offset 0x800

Oh ok. Thanks for looking at them.
Here's a sample of the GC version if you could check but the header seems to be the same.
Not exactly but it's really close:

Identical except for the endianess and, obviously, the codec.

Perhaps I can try something with VGMToolbox. And I have a question, what is the header skip please? For example I think this is 0x800 for this situation no?
