Having some GenH issues by pepper at 10:33 PM EST on December 4, 2009
I'm having some troubles with GenH 4 and dsp. whenever i enter the filter coeff's (FC68 FEAE 01F5 FC99 0010 FFF2 0545 FD8B) and (FF0C FD6E 048F FC1D 0242 00BC 06F0 FE1D) for a deadspace extraction dsp ngca file, it gives me an error "input string was not in a correct format" I'm just wondering, what format should it be in, and how do i get my hexadecimal into that. (I've tried converting hex to dec in calculator, but that gives me a different error about string being "too long or too short"

I've a question, how exactly did you extract the archives from DS: Extraction? Also, I had originally believed that the format was midi-type; I hope I'm wrong.
they're not really archives, atleast the one with sounds isnt. a sounds.h file lists them and the "archive" is just a string of files you can edit the one out you want with a hex editor. hcs said the NGCA files are dsp, so i'm trying at those.
I'm not sure which tool you are using, but if it is VGMToolbox, be sure to remove any spaces from the value and prefix any hex values with "0x". If you are using decimal, no prefix is needed. If that doesn't help, maybe you can post a sample file and describe the steps to recreate the error.
I'm using the Generic Header creator (genH) mainly because the dsp lacks an appropriate header. I don't know how else to say it, when i enter the values into the filter coefficient box in any format it gives me one of two errors. hex gives me a input string not correct format, decimal gives me a too long or too short (most likely too long). I've tried it with and without spaces between the segements.
Based on your description, it sounds like the box is expecting a decimal value. The "...correct format" is a standard exception message for one of the .NET string to integer conversion functions. So those "too long/too short" errors might be the ones to work out.
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the DSP stuff or the expected coef size. Best of luck with your work.
No, he tries to add the coef's manually... The Textfields are for the offsets to the coef tables in a file, not to type them manually... If you have no coefs, you have no chance to play them or GenH them, if you know them you could append them somewhere to the file and point GenH to it!
maybe im misunderstanding, the files have the coef's in them, but they're not with standard dsp headers. can genh play them? or should i try another method?
The GENH contains the offset into the file of the coeffs. That's what the field in the genh creator is for, it specifies the offset, not the coeffs themselves.
