Extracting audio from .XA files??

[Dee15gon]

Does anyone know how to open XA files??
I'm working on Bushido Blade 2...
Extracting the fight sounds is no problem...
But I can't seem to find a way to extract the dialogue from the cutscenes...
Does anyone know how?? I need help...

From various PS1 games I've seen, you just need simple tools like jpsxdec (which needs Java to run) or vgmstream (foobar2000 if you're on Windows).

This foobar2000 is unknown to me...
How does it work?? What are the components and setups??

Get foobar2000 (32-bit) : https://www.foobar2000.org/download
Download vgmstream : https://www.foobar2000.org/components/vi..._vgmstream
Install it : https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?ti..._component
Go to Preferences > Playback > Decoding > vgmstream : tick "Enable unknown exts" and "Enable common exts".
Then you can drag'n'drop the xa file. After that Right-click > Convert > default

I tried to do it with a BBC children's game (tweenies game time)
