AEMT

Ape Escape Manipulation Toolkit is a handy set of tools for interacting with the KKIIDDZZ.DAT archive that's used within the game.

Features

Here are the main things you can do:

• List files and offset/length via list command. Now with extra metadata!
• Extract files via extract.
• Patch files with bigger/smaller ones via patch.
• Directly edit the HED file via hedit.
• Play audio inside sound packs via play command! Only working on Linux as of now.
• Extract such audio with extract-audio.

Upcoming

I would really like to bring audio, images and text extraction/conversion capabilities to this tool. As of now I'm working on Sony's ADPCM decoding in order to assist with possible individuation of specific audio files.

Contributing

Any contribution, as usual, is welcome.
