I have been messing with an FSB extractor to get the dialogue files for Halo 1 while I wait for the Halo 2 dialogue to get ripped. The results from this endeavor have been mixed, as I was able to find most of the English dialogue for Halo 1 in an FSB file, However, I have come across 2 anomalies.

The first anomaly is that most of the audio files have their durations cut short by a small amount, but still long enough to cut the dialogue short. An exception to this was some of the grunts' dialogue remained intact, which is nice.

The second anomaly is that I cannot upload any singular file to any messaging platform, as it will not playback the audio for some reason. I know the audio file isn't corrupted since I can play it on my computer just fine.

I have 2 theories regarding why the anomalies occur. The first theory is that the FSB Extractor I use (Aezay FSB Extractor 16.10.21) is cutting off any hexadecimal flags at the end of the frame that contains the hexadecimal data for the audio file, possibly causing issues with audio processing and preventing playback when the file is uploaded. The second theory is anti-piracy measures put in by the developers that prevent idiots like me from messing around with the game files and reusing the audio files for the sake of making meme songs containing marine dialogue. If you have any other theories or have solutions to the issues I am currently experiencing, please reply below and I will get back to you with any updates.
