Please give credit where is due.

Usage:
samptool.exe <sounddir> -<mode> <dir> [<optarg>]

Where:
     <sounddir>  Path to the directory containing the samp and sdir files. (required)
     <mode>      Tool mode. See below. (required)
     <dir>       Path to directory to load from or write to depending on the mode. (required)
     [<optarg>]  Arguments whose usage differs depending on the mode. (optional)

Modes are:
     -x  Extracts the samples to <dir> in DSPADPCM format.
     -u  Updates the sdir and samp files using the dsp files in the folder specified in <dir>
         and saves the new files to the path specified by [<optargs>] if specified, otherwise
         the files are saved to the <sounddir> and the folder name is used as the base file name.

Example usage:
samptool.exe "D:\Sound" -x "D:\Sound\Out"
samptool.exe "D:\Sound" -u "D:\Sound\Dspfiles" "D:\Sound\pmario_new"

Editing sound files

The sound files it extracts are in .dsp format.
You can use this fork of Audacity to export sounds as .dsp.
More info in this GbaTemp thread.
You can probably also use foobar2000 with the vgmstream plugin to listen to the .dsp files, maybe, I don't remember.
If not, then that Audacity fork should do the trick.
