    Misc ROM Hack Help with extracting sounds from The Sims 2 DS

    Sorry to necropost. Since my last post I've been building a rough specification for the SoundData.rom format to organize all my findings. Instead of coming back here every time, I've set up a GitHub repo to document this stuff and update it in the future so it's easily accessible. Still a work...

    Misc ROM Hack Help with extracting sounds from The Sims 2 DS

    Hi! I haven't really touched the project in a while, but I did find some things that are interesting.

    Misc ROM Hack Help with extracting sounds from The Sims 2 DS

    I'm new in regards to this kind of stuff, but I'm trying to find a way to extract sounds from The Sims 2 DS. I did some looking around before asking here, I have Tinke and VGMTrans installed already and I've looked at the file directory for the .nds file, but I can't find any .SDAT or other...
