EA Black Box AEMS sound banks: the .abk container and .bnk sample banks (ABKTool + SX.EXE)
AEMS is EA Black Box's audio system; a `.abk` is the top-level bank that points at a `.bnk` sample bank (plus SFX/MIDI banks), and `ABKTool.exe` parses the header and shells out to EA's `SX.EXE` to dump the samples as WAV. These notes reconstruct the container layout from the tool's PDB symbols, its embedded format strings and hexdumps of a real sample…
