I guess the game uses pre-compiled binary shaders code, so your changes have no effect. I think you're right. Thats what the .cso, .gso, .pso files in \shadersobj_unpack\engine\shaders\obj are for... Some of them even include 'Microsoft (R) HLSL Shader Compiler 9.29.952.3111' in the header... So ye...

Unfortunately, all the links are dead, and no one seems to even reply to my reupload request . I really wish I had the ...

Case solved (at least for Demon's Souls) ! I managed to convert every audio file to PCM using VGMToolbox . Open VGMToolbox, go to Misc. Tools -> Stream Tools -> Video Demultiplexer http://i51.tinypic.com/2r4k28p.jpg Select 'PAM' format in the listbox, then drag & drop your .PAM file onto the win...

A admin can close the topic since the request was fulfilled. This is not solved at all, as they say : "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." I see you successfully converted sound from Demon's Soul intro wav, fine, good for you...
