Question about Super Mario Sunshine by KDDLB at 11:18 PM EST on December 24, 2017

First of all, Happy Holidays!

I was just wondering if there’s a way to rip music from Super Mario Sunshine. I know it is sequenced music; also I would like to know if there’s a way to convert the sequences to MIDI.

Thanks in advance.

I had once suggested something based on ripping DSP code for the GC and Wii systems, to support playing back sequences using minimal native code emulated by a player. I'm not sure how much this is or isn't like USF or GSF, since both of those use software synthesis, and USF uses a coprocessor with SIMD instructions for mixing and processing the audio.

I'm sure something is possible, since MP3s of all the music without SFX exist in varying places.

Such a feature would greatly benefit for not just Sunshine, but other games like Twilight Princess, Mario Party 4, Star Fox Adventures and WarioWare to name a few.

it’s possible to replace sfx banks with dummy data, leading to silence. And then recording can be done afterwards, hence the mp3s

@bxaimc Do you know the process of achieving such methods? I am very intrigued by this.

I'm assuming furrybob still knows how to do this.

I’m assuming it’s just unpacking the ISO/GCM, replace some sfx bank data with zeroes, repack the game and run it through dolphin or a softmodded GC/Wii/Wii U and record it.

^^^ Can confirm this is how it was probably done. I did something like this when dumping the music from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.
