PSF2 Playback Problem by punk7890-2 at 3:55 AM EDT on August 29, 2017

I've been trying to create a PSF2 set, but for some reason whenever I do they end up not be able to play. I've made PSF2s in the past without error. In foobar, I keep getting this error:

"Decoding failure at 0:00.000 (Unsupported format or corrupted file)"

The game is Atelier Viorate. The odd thing is VGMTrans reads the sets fine without a problem.
Another odd this is that the latest version of VGMToolBox doesn't seem to want to output a file. The old version that outputs PSF2s for this game is vgmtoolbox_bin_r1026. Any help with this issue would be much appreciated.

Here is the files I've been working with, it includes the modules, sq, hd, bd, and the PSF2s.

I'll talk a look at why VGMToolbox is not outputting a file. I don't recall changing any psf2 code in a long time.

Disabling the silence skipping, and enabling the console output, and checking the foobar2000 console:

My current debug build will output the PSF2s just fine. I'm on Windows 7, not sure if that explains anything, but I know Windows 10 had some issues in other areas with VGMToolbox.

I also get the unable to play the files in either foobar or winamp. I also tested using the Atelier Iris IRXs, which sometimes used to work, but no luck.

Thanks for looking into it. Hmm, its a shame that it looks like these will remain unplayable. I wonder if the formats are slightly different somehow. Yet its odd that VGMTrans picks them up fine. Very strange. That's probably the reason why this game was never ripped before.

Yeah, I've tried the Iris IRXs before as well, no luck.
