Notes:Madagascar (PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Windows)

This page contains notes for the game Madagascar (PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Windows).

RWS Files

RWS files can be extracted using the foobar2000 music converter with the latest vgmstream foobar2000 component installed. This works with every version of the game and can be used to extract the game's music and dialogue.
The highest quality audio comes from the Xbox version followed by PlayStation 2, Windows, and GameCube.
The filenames seen in Foobar2000 are not their true names but rather the names of their RWS containers. You can find their true .wav names by finding the RWS container names within their respective STREAM files. This can be done using a text editor such as Notepad.

STREAM Files

STREAM files can be extracted using the RenderWare Stream Unpacker script for the QuickBMS extractor program. It can extract the game's models (DFF format) Textures (TXD format), Animations (ANM format), and level maps (BSP format).

DFF Files

The game's model format. They can be viewed using Heroes Power Plant or Industrial Park as both are RenderWare level editors. Both programs partially support the file formats from the game.

TXD Files

The game's texture format. Can be extracted using MagicTXD. Since the TXD files tend to be corrupted on extraction, a link has been provided to the GameCube version's textures here.
