FIFA 99 PC - Need help with commentary extract? by adams06 at 3:43 PM EDT on May 18, 2026

​Hello everyone,
​I need some help converting .str audio files from the PC version of FIFA 99 into .wav format.
​I managed to extract the files from PLAYERS.str, but I cannot get them to play. I tried using Foobar2000 with the latest vgmstream component; Foobar loads the files, but they are completely silent (muted).
​The accompanying .off file stores the player IDs and their corresponding offsets for the .str file. Each player ID is linked to two audio files within the .str container, making a total of 5,700 files for 2,850 IDs. In the .off file, the IDs start at offset 0x8, while the audio file offsets begin at 0x2C90.
​Could anyone help me convert these .str files to .wav, or explain how I can do it myself?
​Here is the link to the files:

​Thanks in advance

Should work now with the latest vgmstream (https://vgmstream.org/)

You can make .txth files to play .off directly:

PLAYERS.OFF.txth / TEAMS.OFF.txth
<small>body_file = *.STR
subsong_count = @0x00 * @0x04 #cues + variations?
base_offset = @0x00 * 0x04 + 0x08

subsong_spacing = 0x04
subsong_delta = @0x00 #size from offset

subfile_offset = @0x00
subfile_size = subsong_delta
subfile_extension = str</small>


SPEECH.INF.txth
<small>body_file = *.STR
subsong_count = @0x16$2
base_offset = 0x18

subsong_spacing = 0x04
subsong_delta = @0x00 #size from offset

subfile_offset = @0x00
subfile_size = subsong_delta
subfile_extension = str
</small>


STITCHED.OFF.txth
<small>body_file = *.STR
subsong_count = @0x00
base_offset = 0x04

subsong_spacing = 0x08
subsong_delta = @0x04 #size from offset

#00: id?
subfile_offset = @0x04
subfile_size = subsong_delta
subfile_extension = str
</small>
