About AFS
CRI Middleware's AFS archive goes back to the Sega Dreamcast, and PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox games kept their voices, music and data in it through the 2000s. Many hold a game's ADX sounds, a file for each line of dialogue, and modders and fan translators still unpack them.
An AFS starts with AFS, the count of its files and each file's place and size, and often ends its list with the place of a table of names, each with its date and size. Without that table its files have only their numbers.
Filepeek reads the list, and the table of names when it's there, and lists every file: by its name and date, or by its number with the kind its first bytes say. ADX and HCA sounds play, pictures open, and Save as ZIP or Extract all take them out.

Questions
How do I open an AFS file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek an AFS. Its files are listed, and each one opens or saves on its own.
Why are the files numbered?
An AFS can leave out its table of names, and many do. Filepeek names each file by its number and the kind its first bytes say, like 0012.adx.
Can I play the voices inside?
Yes. ADX and HCA files play in the audio player, and Export saves them as MP3 or WAV.
