Title: I need help with dumping the sound effects from the 1996 Square Sample demo!
Post by: Kirby98gamer on 2025-09-22 05:20:28
Ok I extracted the files with Duckstation and here is what I got

EFFECT.ALL
INSTR.ALL
INSTR.DAT
LOOPTEST.SND
OA.SND

While Im sure that Effect.all must be all the sound effects stored in there, I am not sure what instr really means but my guess is "instruments" used for the music? the snd I am sure they must be separate individual sound files but they don't work on my media player!

These were pulled from a psx game in .bin format and the .bin contains what I extract from here with Duckstation. I tried both Dragon Unpacker and Game Extractor, nothing work except that Game Extractor did gave me a bunch of .ui files from the instr.dat and they are all 0kg (empty files?).

What I am trying to get here are the sound effects only. the instrument file could contain soundfont used in the game but its not my main priority to get. I would really appreciate some help if you guys can figure out how to get the sound effects from any of these files? I am also curious to hear what looptest.snd and oa.snd sound like if there is any!

Just a special request, if you guys can help get the sound effects off the prototype 1996 demo for me, please convert them to mp3 if its possible for you! These files come from the earliest demo I could find and its the Square Sample one dated June 1996!

Heres the files I ripped from the 1996 Square Sample. if you download them
please figure out a way to convert them into mp3.

Hope you guys can help!
