In this guide I will cover:

• How to extract content from the game and locate audio and video files
• How to convert the audio and video into viewable formats

Extracting the files from the game using DXMD Extract

1. Unpack the DXMDExtract archive and move DXMDExtract.exe to the installation location for the game, for example, for the Steam version:

Main game: Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Deus Ex Mankind Divided\\runtime DLC: Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Deus Ex Mankind Divided\\DLC\\runtime

2. In that same folder, create a new text file. Open it in a text editor, and enter the following line:

DXMDExtract . .\\extracted

Example:

3. Save and exit, and then rename the file to unpack.bat

   

4. Double-click on it, and then the Command Prompt will appear and begin to unpack the game

   

5. Once complete, the unpacked files should be in a subfolder within the runtime folder named extracted

   

   

Browsing the contents of the extracted files using DEMDDatabase

1. Unpack the DEMDDatabase archive and run DEMD Database.exe

2. File > Open > Open unpacked DB

   

3. Navigate to the NameMap.txt file from the extracted folder created previously when unpacking with DXMDExtract

   

4. After loading, the file trees are now displayed graphically and can be browsed, for example if you’re searching for conversational dialogue, you can expand the file list until you find what you need

   

<aside> 💡

Note: After selecting a NameMap, the software will automatically open that NameMap every time it starts, which becomes a problem if you want to load a different NameMap (either from the Runtime or DLC Runtime).

To fix this, you need to either move the previous NameMap.txt to another folder or rename it to something like NameMap.old so the software can't open it anymore. It should then enable you to open a new unpacked DB.

There is no way to merge the two NameMaps to generate a more complete file tree including both the base game and DLC content, unfortunately, so you'll have to switch between them when necessary.

Convert unsorted audio files with HxD

1. Navigate to the runtime folder for either the main installation of Mankind Divided or the DLC runtime folder. Here the audio and video files appear to be unsorted and scattered. Audio files have the extension .pc_fsbm

   

2. Open the file you want to convert with HxD and remove the first 24 bytes of information (the header), until it starts with FSB
