Simon2.wav question

[racusznik]

Hello
I'm curious if there is a possibility to play Simon the Sorcerer 2 sound file on external audio player such a Winamp?
I tried to convert it to .ogg format but it's still impossible to play on Winamp.

You'd probably have to write a program to extract the sound files (possibly modifying the compression tool) for you. From what I understand, the file consists of an index (offsets into the file where each sound is), followed by a bunch of WAV or VOC files depending on the game. If the file is named <something>.wav it's probably all WAV files.

The compression tool reads the index, four bytes at a time, until i finds the string "RIFF" (which marks a WAV file) or "Creative" (which marks a VOC file).

You can simply open the file using GoldWave. The shareware version is freely available. If it asks you about the format, you need to select that it is 11025 Hz 8 bit mono.
