Features: Correct Pitch and speed, No Distortion, Correct LoopPoints and more. special thanks to egregiousguy on the house of the dead discord server for helping me

it has most of the sound but yea https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yVhF67BeoRdcTfiVu-U1ql788VP9RXbc/view?usp=sharing

Some how managed to do this. the script i have extracts textures,sounds,models, sprite tables,other tables. but not animations yet, they arent stored in a file like hotd2 they are stored in the executable and the armatures too.

I'm trying to extract individual samples from HOTD2's Naomi sound ROMs (mpr-21404.ic19s, mpr-21405.ic20s — 8MB each, self-dumped). Here's what I've confirmed so far:

• Codec confirmed by ear: Yamaha AICA 4-bit ADPCM, 44100 Hz, mono. Decoding the whole ROM as one continuous stream via vgmstream (TXTH-forced) sounds "almost perfect" — real instruments/music are clearly audible.
• Not DTPK-based: checked the file headers directly — no DTPK magic bytes, so dsfdtpk.py/DTPKDump (AM2 driver tools) don't apply directly.
• ic20 has ~79.5% trailing 0xFF padding, real data ends at offset 0x1B0800.
• ic19 has no padding, dense data across the full 8MB, decodes to ~380 seconds of audio.

The problem: decoding either ROM as one continuous stream produces two symptoms that don't go away:

1. Certain sections get very loud/distorted (spikes), inconsistent with the rest.
2. Drum loops and phrases repeat back-to-back like a full sample library played start-to-end, rather than a mixed song — consistent with this being a raw sample bank, not a sequenced track.

I've tried:

• Live MAME debugger register capture on :maincpu's AICA register window (0x700000-0x707FFF) to catch real SA/LSA/LEA key-on events — caught the SH-4→AICA RAM boot upload (huge burst of ARM7 opcodes) but very few real in-game trigger events even during active gameplay.
• Amplitude-based silence detection on the decoded PCM to find sample boundaries — found only 15 real gaps across the whole ROM, and the loudness/duplication issues persist even within those "silence-bounded" segments.
• Searching the program ROM (epr-21585.ic22) and three sp*.bin auxiliary ROMs for raw ARM7 opcode signatures — zero hits, so the sound driver code doesn't appear to be stored uncompressed in any file I have.

Does anyone know HOTD2's specific driver format, or have a rip/tool that already handles this game or a sibling AM2-era Naomi title using the same sample-bank layout? Happy to share any of the ROM files or captured data if useful.
