Any way to chop off the intro from a minigsf file? by Curiouser at 3:26 AM EST on January 20, 2024
One of the songs from DKC3 (15 Jungle Jitter) has an intro made up of jungle sounds that lasts for about 50 seconds. I've already made an MP3 without it, but I'd like very much to retime the minigsf so I can play it with the rest of the soundtrack. Any way to do this?
Like many ripped video game music file formats, GSF is a subset of the game ROM. Code + data. A contrasting example is the log format of VGM files. There's no general way to retime the beginning of a track, since playing back a GSF is physically running a subset of the game code.
You can hack how the sound engine of the file works so that it starts later in the sequence, but your solution won't be generally transferable.
