Games

List of games using this file format:

• CT Special Forces: Fire for effect
• WALL-E

Notes and Comments

• This file format occurs in games from Asobo Studio.
• Samples from WALL-E can be partially recovered using this SoX command "sox.exe -t ima -r32k -e ima-adpcm audio_file1.bin file_out1.wav".
  But it's better to use Foobar + vgmstream plugin for extracting.

Compatible Programs

• Foobar + vgmstream plugin + TXT header file
• Awave studio (import as raw)
• Audacity (import as raw)
• SoX
