Along with a plugin for Winamp that would allow those files to be played, but both links have since gone down. Is there any chance that those could perhaps be re-uploaded, or a different tool to extract single files from Wii .FSB files be provided? Thanks in advance any and all help provided.
Unfortunately, although doing a search for "un_fsb_wii.zip" does return result, when you click on it, you get a "FILE NOT FOUND" error. Very annoying. Sorry I couldn't help there. As for in_cube, it's old, outdated, and hasn't been touched in months. What you want is VGMstream (this is the most recent version). VGMstream was created as a replacement for in_cube, and supports many more formats than in_cube does (though, it should also be noted that there's a few in_cube formats that haven't been implemented in VGMstream yet. Which ones those are I don't readily know).
Anyway, that's the information I can provide right now. Hopefully either you won't need the FSB extractor (VGMstream supports FSB), or someone will be able to help you out if you do. Mouser X over and out.
Hey thanks for that tool. I managed to extract an archive from SVR 08. However I'm unable to play any of the resulting files, which happen to be .WAV files, using both in_cube and vgmstream. fsbext has an option ("-a") which adds a header to the files, but that fails to do the job too.
I presume the in_cube build found in the topic mentioned above has been modified in some way to correctly recognise the WAVs. I'm not able to decode them using in_cube v0.38 which was released quite some time after that modified version was posted. So I guess there's something missing in the current version of in_cube or the "un_fsb_wii" tool posted in the same topic changes the file extension to something more specific.
Try this thing I just wrote: fsbii It produces single-stream FSBs from a multi-stream FSB. Note that you will have to rename the output files to .fsb, I use the file names in the archive which are I think for the original source files.

And here's fsbii 0.1 which appends .fsb to the file names. I foresaw this causing endless confusion.
Thanks, but is there any chance someone could explain to me how to use these programs? I am a complete novice to these types of programs and I have no idea where to even begin. Thanks in advance for any help.
If the tools are what I expect them to be, then they're command-line programs. If you're double-clicking it, then you're using it wrong (and it won't work whatsoever). Open a command prompt (start>all programs>accessories> "command prompt"), and browse (for info on how to do this, check here. In brief, use "cd" to change directory, and "X:" to change drive (where "X" is the drive letter). Note - only use the things within the quotations, exclude the " when using the commands I listed here) to the location of the program, and the files (make sure the program and the file(s) in question are in the same directory). Once you're in the proper directory, then you can run the program by typing its file name into the command prompt, and pressing "enter" (see previous note on quotation marks). Usually, this will give you an error message, along with a list of commands and how to use the program. Since I've never used the program currently in question, I can't really help you past this point. Hopefully that will be sufficient to get you started though. Mouser X over and out.
Or you can grab cmdopen shell extension from here. This will allow you to skip the "directory changing" step which might be a bit of hassle. All you need to do is simply browse to the directory containing the programs, right click on the empty space and select "Open Command Prompt" from the context menu.
Now you simply need to type in the program filename, as Mouser X suggested. For fsbii you need to type in the command fsbii filename.fsb , just make sure the file you're willing to convert is present in the same directory as fsbii.
Sorry about that, should be fixed now: fsbii 0.4 (finally)
Another update, 0.5 adds the ability to scan for FSBs embedded in an archive (similar to adXtract's functionality). So it now covers the two main packed FSB styles.
