has anone used both of the programs?
i.e. NFSU Music Importer.exe and MCO Music Importer.exe
To run NFSU Music Importer.exe you need the full pc version, but i'm guessing you may be able to get away with just having the registry entries....
anyone able to run NFSU Music Importer.exe ???

i extracted the files with the Extractor 2.4 from this site:
http://www.volny.cz/nova-software/
i think this tool just looks for the headers of the files, which means that the audio tracks are not compressed or encrypted....
also, the 27 extracted tracks and the STRM_Music_UGO_MB.ast have almost the exact same size.
i think the files are just stacked...

I wanted to change the music too, so i put the game on the xbox hard drive and browsed the files but could'nt find the music files anywhere. I found the engine sounds and sound effects folder but it looks like the actual music has been hidden. Anyone else found anything?

| You can just rip a CD to the Xbox hard drive using the M$ dash. Then, pause the game and go to music options and soundtracks. Your ripped CD should be available for selection. |
have you even played the game? nfsu does not have that option.

then we need to try this extractor.

, Well da_shiznit can u help out a little more here? Since u seem 2 know about the sound files how about u point me in the right direction as far as the prog for this special sound editor/compressor/extractor program. thanks

ya they could be but it doesnt matter. if you guys have read the posts before i said all the files are grouped into 1 file and you would have to build a program for every different file to extract/rebuild. (Ex: tonyhawkmusicfile.raw 210MB, you would have to make a program for that, tonyhawk2musicfile.raw 210 you would have to make a different program for that also)

Ya thats y i said open the 2nd zip and use that executable.

, Well.. I downloaded the files and proceeded to import/convert. The files are in ast extention on the xbox version so i renamed it to that ext. It didn't work. I tried the different types that it specified DDMX/DDMZ/DCRZ/DBOS & User. None of those worked. From what i can tell this is a ps2 port of the game cause it uses the same files. The importer is designed for the PC version asf format not the ast (PS2/XBOX) format. So, where do we go from here ?U can learn something from everybody
