A small Windows GUI tool for extracting audio from Marvel: Maximum Collection .pak files and exporting tracks to WAV or MP3.

Built by Mattmatt.

• Open supported .pak files directly
• Search and filter track names
• Export a single selected track or multiple tracks at once
• Export to WAV or MP3
• Preserve folder structure when exporting
• Uses the included app icon and is ready to package with PyInstaller

This tool is intended for the audio packs used by Marvel: Maximum Collection, such as:

• musicplayer.pak
• sounds.pak

1. Launch Marvel Maximum Collection Audio Extractor.
2. Click Browse and select a supported .pak file and press Load.
3. Wait for the track list to load.
4. Use the search box if you want to narrow the list.
5. Choose an export format:
   • WAV
   • MP3
6. Choose an output folder.
7. Either:
   • export the currently selected track, or
   • export all / filtered tracks.

For normal use, download the prebuilt EXE from the repository's Releases page.

If you are building from source instead, follow the instructions below.

• Windows
• Python 3.10+
• Pip

pip install pyinstaller imageio-ffmpeg

python marvel_maximum_collection_audio_extractor.py

Use the included batch file:

build_exe.bat

Or run PyInstaller manually:

py -m PyInstaller --noconfirm --clean --onefile --windowed --name "MarvelMaximumCollectionAudioExtractor" --icon "marvel_audio_extractor_icon.ico" --add-data "marvel_audio_extractor_icon.ico;." --collect-binaries imageio_ffmpeg "marvel_maximum_collection_audio_extractor.py"

After a successful build, the EXE will be in the dist folder.

MarvelMaximumCollectionAudioExtractor/
├─ marvel_maximum_collection_audio_extractor.py
├─ marvel_audio_extractor_icon.ico
├─ marvel_audio_extractor_icon.png
├─ build_exe.bat
└─ README.md

When publishing the project, attach these to a GitHub release:

• the built .exe
• source code (.py)
• icon files if you want to keep the repository editable and easy to fork

A good first release name is something like:

• v1.0.0 - Initial release

• This tool is intended for personal archival / extraction workflows.
• Export speed depends on file size and your PC.
• If Windows warns about an unsigned EXE, that is normal for small indie/open-source utilities that are not code-signed.
