These dat files like bgm.dat, demo.dat and the like.
I might post these when I feel like it though.

Try demux_dat

demux_dat_be.exe may work on MGS4.

"demux_dat 0.2 extracts audio from the .DAT files in Metal Gear Solid 3. Included is demux_dat_be which should work on Metal Gear Solid 4, but it is not tested."

Well, with that said, it extracts .dat files that contain only audio, video and subtitle data. That means it's unstable of extracting .dat files that contain other types, right? Here's codec.dat for example.

It seems like codec.dat is just text, you can extract that with DATCodecTool. Here's an exe compiled with Mono.

Thanks for compiling it to me, hcs. If anything, can I ask you to compile the rest when I'm done organizing some stuff?

Here's all the executables for MGSDATool, untested.

Thanks. But what about these .dbm files that contain MTA2 data? Here's an sample.

EDIT: Huh. Just by executing the .jar file through a command-line program, I am rewarded by this error. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi AnonRunzes, I'm a little lost, you need to extract mta2 files from dmb files? Or you are trying to convert dbm file directly?

@secaproject - You can only extract mta2 files from .dat archives. Might as well rename the .dbm file to .dat and see what happens.

EDIT: Nope, it doesn't work with .dbm files either even if you rename them.

Negative, you can also extract MTA2 from dbm files. DBM files works in different way, so rename the file is not the solution. Extracting the mta2 within it's so simple, remove first 2080 bytes and then try to convert the "dbm" file.
