With NBA 2k10, they changed audio formats on us. To allow for custom soundtracks/updated announcer speech and other community updates to the game we need to figure out what the new compression is for the bin files. We have been trying dumb stuff since the game came out last october just plugging it into different programs and have come up with nothing. I’m hoping someone would be willing to help us out and figure out how to edit these audio files.
Thanks for any help or leads. If this is the wrong section or know of somewhere I can get help with this by all means let me know. Thanks
Have they been “extracted” from a video format?
“.BIN” is not a usual extension for audio files - not even for headerless raw audio data - if they are from a video format it may be possible to determine the correct format from the original file, but because raw audio data is headerless there is an absence of clues at to what the format is.
this is a tutorial on replacing music in 2k9, which used the same file names but the same procedure doesnt work in 2k10. and replacing the old files in the newer game doesnt work either. http://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=68166
these bin files have not been extracted from anything nor touched in anyway, they are straight from the game files.
Is there any kind of debugger or something that could tell me what bit rate or whatever the file is?
I think you’re out of luck. I suspect that the audio is compressed/encoded in some way, but I don’t see any clues as to what type of encoding has been used. 2K Sports have probably done this in an attempt to protect their copyright.
