Strange WAV files by puggsoy at 7:33 PM EDT on October 14, 2014
I've been trying to convert some files I extracted from the XBox game Whacked! They all have either the extension .wav or .saf, but they all have valid RIFF WAVE headers. The compression value is 0x69 (Voxware Byte Aligned), although I discovered that they can be played in VLC if I change that to 0x11 (DVI/IMA ADPCM).

Anyway, I tried to convert them to PCM WAVs using the test.exe from vgmstream, but only one file is willing to work, all others give me the dreaded "failed opening" error. I have no idea what could be wrong though, they all have identical headers (other than the file and data sizes of course).

Here's a zip containing a couple of files: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/oull6x3kbar7lnw/whackedFiles.zip Airhorn.wav is the only one that works.

If anybody could clear this up for me that would be extremely awesome.

Ah awesome thanks, that works. I am still curious as to why only one of them works with vgmstream though. Sounds to me like a bug, hopefully hcs sees this and knows how to fix it.

In any case, thanks again!
