___| PACKAGiNG CONTENTS |_______________________________________________________
Currently this pack contains a bunch of various tools :
* ADPCM Streaming Toolkit
This toolkit was made to decode the Yamaha AICA ADPCM (.STR) to the RIFF
WAVE (.WAV) audio format. It isn't a required tool, but it can be useful to
help the translation process. Please note the AHX/ADX format is used too,
in that case you'll need the CRI SDK.

This tool is the subtitles editor for SRF files which can be found in AFS
packages. This format is used almost for cut scenes.

test your work in real-time with nullDC. You must mount the generated image
in a Virtual Drive, otherwise, it doesn't work.
* Font Utility
This additional tool was made to edit the in-game fonts (for the menus,
subtitles, etc.).

package. This format is used almost for dialogues with NPC.
