Title: extracting sound clips from FFVII
Post by: in3rt!a on 2012-03-03 01:34:19

Is there an easy way to do this? All I want to do is get the Ultima materia sound effect and convert it to an .mp3 or something.
Is there any way to pull them from the game files rather than recording "What U Hear?" I don't want background music or anything

Cosmo allows you to extract sounds from FF7.

Thanks guys, both are helpful in their own way.

But I used sfxEdit to extract the wav files - it gave me 724 of them. I'm pretty sure I played through every single one but I didn't hear ultima...
Any way to pinpoint it?

I am gonna go through them now and I bet I find it ;)

edit: you didn't look hard enough, I found it within 5 minutes.  First thing to do was to arrange them by filesize large to small.  Then choose ranges that are within the time scale for the effect (I reckoned 3 seconds).  That narrowed it down.

The one you want is 310.

you are a gentleman.

I wouldn't be surprised if I skipped by that too quickly because it didn't start exactly like I thought it would..

anyway, much appreciated!

could someone be a gent/lady and post up a post up a zip of all sfx files as I've tried many different ways to get them (psx tools, cosmo - which I can't get to run, and the above sfxedit tool) all to no avail. Please help as I'm close to drop kicking my laptop down the road.  :mrgreen:

It is easier for you to learn how than for someone to do all the work for you using the same tool.
