<hr />
<div>'''AWB''' is an audio archive format developed by ''CRI Middleware''. It is mainly used in PC games and games on PlayStation consoles, but it can be found elsewhere. AWB files usually either contain [[HCA]] or [[ADX]] sound filetypes. They are commonly found in [[CPK]] archives.<br />
<br />
The first four bytes of the file always have the value ''0x41465332'' ("AFS2").<br />
<br />
==Tools==<br />
===[https://github.com/losnoco/vgmstream/releases vgmstream]===<br />
vgmstream can convert the contents of AWB archives to *.wav. Using the [https://www.foobar2000.org/download foobar2000] plugin, you can extract, play, and convert all files it contains as long as the contained audio files are compatible.<br />
<br />
===[https://sourceforge.net/projects/vgmtoolbox/?source=typ_redirect%7C vgmtoolbox]===<br />
Under VGMToolbox > Misc.Tools > Extraction Tools > Common Archives, choose CRI ACB/AWB Archive Extractor. Then, drag and drop AWB files. The contents will be dumped to a folder.<br />
