Any FSB extraction tools that can convert more than one file at a time?

I am currently in the process of extracting audio from numerous games using FSBs/FMOD Sample Banks, PlanetSide 2, Halo: Spartan Assault & Halo: Spartan Strike notable examples.

Although I’ve had successful results with fsb2wav.exe (https://github.com/psemu/fsb2wav) specifically for some of PlanetSide 2’s files & Luigi Auriemma’s fsbext (http://aluigi.altervista.org/search.php?src=fsbext) for anything else (with Aezay’s FSB Extractor (http://aezay.dk/aezay/fsbextractor/) producing some pitch errors when testing PlanetSide 2 files unsupported by fsb2wav.exe presumably due to an error regarding a codec), I’m encountering one significant inconvenience; They can only convert one FSB file at a time.

A minor inconvenience for music files only or for smaller games as Halo: Spartan Assault & Halo: Spartan Strike of course, but when dealing with tens of thousands of files for games such as PlanetSide 2, it becomes quite an overwhelming task. I’ve been trying to search for any tools that can perform bulk extractions/conversions of FSB to playable formats such as WAV, but I’ve not had any results or leads as of yet. Anyone happen to know if such a tool exists?

Do you have Windows PowerShell? If so, you can do this with fsbext:

In PowerShell, cd to where fsbext is
Enter this command to extract all the audio:

gci <directory with FSBs> -rec -inc *.fsb | foreach {.\fsbext -d $_.fullname.replace($_.name, "") $_.fullname}

That’s from the notes I made ripping Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and I haven’t used PowerShell or fsbext much since then, so it might be slightly inaccurate.

I do, and I never even knew I did until just now.

If so, you can do this with fsbext:

In PowerShell, cd to where fsbext is
Enter this command to extract all the audio:

gci <directory with FSBs> -rec -inc *.fsb | foreach {.\fsbext -d $_.fullname.replace($_.name, "") $_.fullname}

That’s from the notes I made ripping Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and I haven’t used PowerShell or fsbext much since then, so it might be slightly inaccurate.

Well, fingers crossed I can replicate that with PlanetSide 2 at the very least. WAY too many files for a one-by-one process. Thanks very much for the information.

EDIT: I’ve performed some tests, and they were completely successful. You’ve saved me a lot of valuable time & energy. Thanks again.

It’s an oddly well hidden feature for something so useful.

Glad to be of help.
