I wrote a litte program which reads the *.fat files of Prince of Persia - Warrior Within and extracts the selected soundfile out of the *.big file.
But now I have a problem:
How can I make this extracted files playable??

Do I have to convert the files, or are they in a playable format??

hello

for play extract files from big packge, you can use "mf audio" software

Ok, thank you, I'm going to look for this program.
But if I want to program such a tool by myselfe, how do I have to konvert the files??

---
Hm, is it true that MF Audio is only for Playstation Games??
I'm sorry, but I forgot to tell you that I have only the PC-Version of the Game.
If I'm wrong and the tool is also for the PC-Versien can you send me a link to a download page, because I only found deadlinks.

you can play files extracted with "Awave Studio" or softwares use raw method for playing unknown sound files

download "Awave Studio" from below link :

http://www.fmjsoft.com/

thus mfaudio use raw method for playing unkown sound files.

ok, thank you
I'm going to test this little programm, thank you for the link.
Do you also know how I can watch the cutscenes??
They are *.bik, but the RAD-Tools don't play them. Where is the problem.

And how can I look at the artworks (also *.bik)??

all bik files played with bink player

you can download bink playes of rad game tools web site

iam play bik files prince of persia with bink player

Well, I also tried to play the videos with the current version of the RAD-Tools but Binkplayer told me that this are no playable *.bik files.
So, where is the problem??

Furthermore I found the right wave-format for the data of the *.big-files.
These files are 16-bit mono PCM (signed),
but this are only the sfx and not the real music.
It looks like the backgroundmusic of the game is inside the *.bf file.
But how to get it??

Prince of Persia files have a small extra header at the top, if you remove this header, you can play them in Bink/RADPlayer

Thank you for the answer.
How long is this special header??
May be it's easy to find this header inside the *.bik-file but I'm not at home at the moment and so I can't try to seek this special header.

And what about the artworks?? Are they also *.bik-movies??

you can extract correct bik file from video folder with use software

FMV-Extractor

you can download from below link :

http://www.necrotech.de/software/fmv/index.html

you use software for extract bik from *.bik files into video folder (all files into video folder)

It works!!!
fmv-explorer showed me where the real bik-file begins and I wrote a little program which extrated all Artworks. After all I converted them with the RAD-Tools to *.jpgs.
Great!!
Now I'm going to try to extract the music with fmv-extractor 1.3.
If it doesn't work I'll tell you .

It's me again it doesn't work
So how can extract the music out of the prince.bf file??
Can you help me??
Any tool or any tip?

music isn't in the prince.bf, like BG&E, its in the Sound.big file, i have a big file extractor on my site, eventually, i'm going to make a plugin for Mexcom.

Oh, that's great because I already have written a *.bf-extractor.
Are the musicfiles also PCM-signed 16 bit or has the music another formate than the sfx-sounds??

http://www.terrygoodkind.net/~rahly/bgae.php are programs that allow you to extract from BIG and BF files.
