El Shaddai uses an early version of HCA and is also not encrypted with a key.

These .AAX files can be decoded using one of the earlier HCA decoders called HCA2WAV. You'll probably need to strip some extra header data from the .AAX files first though but it would be nice to have the functionality added to vgmstream.

The .AAX concat 2 HCA, this isn't supported in vgmstream yet (I hope to in the future). You can extract those 2 HCA though, the X360 set already does.

Then if you play you'll get muffled audio. That's because it uses an early version of HCA, which vgmstream's HCA decoder can't do either.
You can use VGAudio to properly convert.
(a reason to port to C in the future I guess)

Aye, Binary Domain uses the same setup. And then you have that complicated mess in Street Fighter x Tekken that uses a individual hca stream per channel.

Thanks for the help. However I don't understand how to get VGAudio working and it seems like HCA2WAV only converts one file at a time.

Save the following text in notepad with the file extension ".bat" for multiple conversions with HCA2WAV

for %%i in (*.hca) DO hca2wav.exe "%%i" "%%i".wav

To use VGAudio to decode an HCA file, do something like this: vgaudiocli.exe in.hca out.wav

For batch conversion: vgaudiocli.exe -b -i <folder with hca files> -o <destination folder> --out-format wav

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll try it out soon.

Just heads up that HCA/AAX now decode properly in vgmstream, including El Shaddai

Does someone know how to get the new HCA decryption keys for Ryu Ga Gotoku Online?
The game was released recently for PC/Android/iOS and it's based on Unity.
