My apologies for the bump but has anyone figured out the sequences for resident evil 4? Pretty sure the game uses them as I found these in the system, I think the HED is for filenames.
I'm really curious to know how the bio4bgm streams were extracted for the GENH rip on joshw's FTP. Where did the offsets come from? I am quite certain the offsets to the streams are not stored in any of the files in the bgm folder - only Capcom DSP headers and some sort of stream descriptors, but no offsets. So are they in the main executable or something.. ? Would love to know, because I wanted to check out the bio4evt streams too (which were not ripped afai can see).
Well, this was a funny one. Turns out the offsets for the streams within bio4bgm/bio4evt are actually stored within the DSP headers themselves, at 0x1C (presumably some reserved slot which they decided to use.. unless it's used in all Capcom games?)
Whoa! Thanks Nisto!!! :D it really works! This is so awesome man. Do you need all the files from the RE4 ISO?? I can upload them all if you want, it'll take me a while but I am absolutely willing to for Resident Evil 4 music research purposes. :)
Edit: All the streams are in excellent condition too, I don't think this game even uses sequences anymore.
Also the gamecube version of this game always had a better soundtrack at least in terms of quality in my opinion, hell a better everything :) thanks so much for bringing it back to us.
No need to upload anything. I have the game (*RE fan*), I just never bothered to look into its files. bio4bgm and bio4evt are identical between the discs too, so...
Sent you a friend request on ffshrine :) we need more people like you who can look more in depth into formats like these, so consider joining the forums here if you're interested in music related stuff.
Many thanks for this, Nisto :D Your script happens to work on multiple versions of the game, beta and retail alike.
I am providing a complete rip from the E3 2004 demo of Bio Hazard 4, as it contains a few things I've never heard, such as a conversation between Leon and Luis where Luis mentions that he used to be a cop in America but quit because of bureaucratic situations. I think "bio4bgm_002.capdsp" is a new/beta track, though I can't be certain as it's been awhile since I've played. There may be other stuff
I have a few more beta versions that I'll check out for differences later.
