How do I hack DAT audio files? - TriviaRain - Jan 30, 2013

OK, so I'm not sure if this is right place to ask this, but whatever.

I have a really old My Little Pony game for PC, released in the 90s called
MLP:Friendship Gardens. Unfortunately, the voice audio files are somewhat broken, and sentences are cut off. I'm really curious to listen to these files, but I'm clueless as to how to open them.

The file name is 'VOICE.DAT'. It's quite an obscure game, but has anyone managed to hack the .DAT files, and if so, how do I do it?

Voice.DAT aren't actual media files they are data files, google is your best friend

why do you want to listen to MLP

Not had much luck with Google unfortunately 😟

Ahaha, I'm just curious XD

1. This isn't hacking
2. DAT files are just data files
3. If they are cut off, the files are probably cut off too. You can't "hack" or restore that.
I recommend googling a torrent for the game in order to get the original, non-cutoff files.
