Hacking Play sound.bin file

[niceguychris]

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows a way to play a sound.bin file that has been extracted from a WAD. I've searched around but people only seem to want to extract and then replace the file but I actually want it play it.

I've tried Audacity but if I import that as a raw file it's all high pitched, there is some options to importing the file - i've tried playing with these but no joy (unless somone knows the exact options)

Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

C.

I think ewes v9 can convert sound.bin to an mp3. You can find it on the wadder forums.

thanks for your reply, just checked that out and it appears that ewes only goes from mp3 to bin,

Maybe it could be helpful,
Once I did compile the sources in wiibrew for bns file format to extract hbc music.
Here : http://www.tepetaklak.com/data/BannerSoundToPcm.exe

you need at least .net 2.0 runtime, program produces a pcm file, you can open that file in audacity, choose raw and manually set frequency (it was 32000 for hbc music as far as I remember) and sample type...

Also you could use vgmstream, it does oodles of formats including .bns .str . brstm .rwav includes decompressor and a winamp plugin (iirc if the sound.bin is lz77 it needs to be decompressed first though)
