Huge bump - I just worked out how to convert .dat files to .wav's.
Load the .dat into VLC (
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ )
If it plays music then you can click Media > Convert/Stream > Convert it to wav and boom

.
I just got all the sfx's and music from Rome Total War Gold!

I use fraps to capture video/audio from any screen on the pc, then you can load the file in soundforge and split the video/wav file. make sure to delete the video files, fraps records raw size footage that for me is about a gig a minute.

^ why wouldn't you play in windowed mode and then press play on audacity when you want to grab a sound?

it's an idea, I like making video game videos with music, etc, so I usually use it that way. But thanks for the idea, I've never used audacity to rip audio from desktop. Going to try it with skype.

A lot of times the .dat or whatever could just be a zip or wav file that's been renamed. Like the .pak files found in many games are just renamed zip files. I dunno about Rome Total War, but if it played fine in VLC then I'd guess it's not a proprietary/encrypted format and just some kind of renamed file. Anyway just a tip, I've opened many game archives with just 7zip.
