so it seems that most of the sound and music files are in this directory (on my disc):
G:\SYSTEM\SOUND\
("G:" is my DVD drive)
there are a group of folders named "ADE**" and one named "ADS01" which contain playable sound files, and one named "ADC1" with (get this) 110 ADC files that i can't play (just like the 110 i mentioned in my earlier post). there's also an "SE" and a "BGM" folder with more files i can't play.
not sure what opens ADC files, since they could contain any codec type (the SSE files from earlier had ADS extensions), and searching the internet so far has been less than encouraging. i found a program the supposedly converts ADC files, but it only works on Unix systems and not Windows:
OGI Speech Tools
hmm...i'll keep checking.
