ROM Hack sound_data.sdat

[Awesome turtwig]

Is there a way to edit a sound_data.sdat file. I see many of these files in DS ROMS. I opened one of these files up in UltraEdit, and I don't understand anything... (I'm not very good with hex) So is there a way to edit the sounds in a file like this.

sdat files are groups of other sound files (modified midi, wave, sequence, etc)
just extract the files inside the sdat.

what kind of program should I use for the sdat file?

 

[rastsan]

Vgmtrans or its relative VgmToolbox
dump the sdat with something then open with vgm and dump the files with vgm
winavi has a codec that you have to search for to change the vgm dumped files to mp3
Don't know if they can be changed back though...
