DS1 Music and Sound FX Modding for the Masses

To mod sound in DS, you would usually patch dvdbnd0.bdt with modified fsb file or permanently extract sound folder from dvdbnd0.bdt, subsitute fsb within it and hex edit DARKSOULS.exe to play out of extracted folder. This mod cuts out a few steps that by providing you with already extracted sound files and a DARKSOULS.exe that's been patch to play them directly. You can then install any of your favorite sound mods by subbing directly the sound files in the sound folder.

Backup: ...\common\Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition\DATA\DARKSOULS.exe Place contents of mod Archive (the sound folder and the Patched DARKSOULS.exe) in: ...\common\Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition\DATA

DIY Alternative: If you prefer to patch DARKSOULS. EXE yourself in a hex editor, go to: 00D665F0 and change d.v.d.b.n.d. 1.:./.s.o.u. n.d to d.v.d.r.o.o.t.:./.s.o.u. n.d (the dots here are null bits not periods). Sound folder can be extracted using Wulf2K's Demon's Souls BND File Extractor/Rebuilder.
