Hi, this might be too off topic but I didn't know where else to ask in this server.

I'm making (or trying to make) a demake of Celeste for the DS, and I want to make the code open source so I can't have the assets of the game just in the repository because of copyright. Instead I'm making a script that extracts each asset needed from a PC copy of the game that the user must provide. I have sprite extraction mostly complete, but I'm stuck on getting the sound effects from the FMOD banks.

I have a wrapper of the FMOD engine for Python, which is what my asset extraction and build systems use, so I can use most of the FMOD API with it. I have a list of each event in the game's sfx bank, but I don't really know where to go from there.

So basically my question is: how do you get the raw sound files (or data) from the FMOD banks?

#

I am also ok with doing this as a mod for the game if that's easier

#

there's also the celeste fmod project that has all the audio included as ogg files (https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.03/studio/appendix-a-celeste.html) but i'm not certain that's a good fit if the goal is to avoid redistributing files

#

since you need an fmod account to download it

I just wrote my own extractor instead using the wrapper

#

I managed to make a bank parser to extract the FSB from each file
