Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 .str Files - JoshdaBoss - 10-17-2019
Hi everyone, I'm new to this extracting stuff so I need your help.
I have the .cia file for the 3DS version of Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2. I extracted the game with Hackingtoolkit. The purpose for this is so I can upload some voice clips from this game into the site for everyone to enjoy! However, I found a complication. When I went into the romfs folder, there were 2 audio folders: One was titled "Sounds" and another was titled "Voice Overs." Both of these folders have one thing in common, the files. The files in these audio folders were a .str file. I made sure I ddn't mix up the file extension name...it's an str file. The first thing I tried to do was put one of the .str files in LoopingAudioConverter. An audio file came out, but nothing came out but silence for a few minutes long.
I then thought of something. In Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS, I have to actual put the audio file in a program for extraction, in order to extract the actual .wav files. So I thought I needed a certain program to extract the files out of the .str file so I can extract the .wav files. I looked up an .str extractor. After I found one, it said that it only extract movie/video files from the PSX. Besides that, the internet has little to nothing on this file type. So, that's why I came here today!
Do any of you, ANY AT ALL, can tell me what to do? I'm very confused. The audio files for the game are unopenable, which seems very odd since it's for the 3DS. Please Help and Respond Quickly!

Upload a sample .str, just not the CIA. I can take a look.

Sorry I took so long to respond! I wanted to upload the file right here but I couldn't because the website told me that "The type of file that you attached is not allowed. Please remove the attachment or choose a different type." and to "Please correct the following errors before continuing."
However, I can still upload google drive links so here you go! Just download the sample from there!

This is just a bcwav, rename from *.str to *.bcwav and it should be playable with foobar2000 and vgmstream component, both found here:

vgmstream can be found under "Components" section on website.
