I made this thread because my friend who was helping me is not in the scene anymore and has no interest in cracking files again.
As the title suggests cracking a sound file format from Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005. Well, there are 2 formats I'd like to get hands on but now I'll focus on the most important, they're the .gin files.
This game uses loopless sound system, so it's only one sample for on-throttle and off-throttle samples.
The .gin files are organized in blocks of 19 bytes, my friend told me that the codec used could be a version of the EA ADPCM/XAS codec.

The first block of data is an array of ints, each int specifies the pitch/frequency of the RPM sample once the car reaches a certain RPM. Then the second block, which has a VERY similar byte pattern, it's effects are unknown.

Now what I need to find out is the size of all the section before the audio data. He told me to modify some ints at 16-24 (decimal) but the truth is that I don't know how to "spot" and I have no clue if im right or not while guessing file size.
Here are some files from the game if you want to take a look
