About NUB audio format by HHTT at 10:32 AM EST on January 1, 2009
NUB do not work on vgmstream and other extractors or convertors. I guess this format is not implemented yet. NUB is include in The Sky Crawlers Innocent Aces (for Wii) and Family Ski (for Wii), Ridge Racer 7 (for PS3). These games are all the games of Bandainamco.
Does anyone know the method of listening NUB format? These are NUB files in The Sky Crawlers Innocent Aces. http://www.megaupload.com/jp/?d=5L2U54Q5
remove the first 48 bytes from "BANK_HANGER_BGM.nub" and rename to ".idsp", don't know what the first 48 bytes are for, but it's simple DSP and even implemented in vgmstream! :o)
This isn't precisely what is already in vgmstream, the idsp header format is a little different. However, the most important difference is that these .nub files contain multiple streams, so we need to extract them first.
@manakoAT: Thank you. However, "BANK_VOICES_M12.nub" contains only one IDSP. Thus, we can make it to simple DSP by removing 48 bytes.
On the other hand, "BANK_VOICES_M12.nub" is collections of IDSP files. It is not possible to extract IDSPs by removing only 64 bytes. To listen included IDSPs, I think that we should extract IDSPs in the beginning.
@bxaimc,souma: I saw the news that person who extracted RR7 found the BGM.nub file in RR7's disc image. I have not extracted Blu-ray disc of RR7. Sorry.
@hcs: This is other NUB file (BANK_BGM.nub) in The Sky Crawlers Innocent Aces. I guess it including BGM of the mission and other main BGM. This also contains some IDSPs. The boundary of each IDSP is not clear, so the extraction is difficult... http://www.megaupload.com/jp/?d=BQ9TXS9U
