NFL 2K1 - Dreamcast SS File? by TheUnderdog at 4:26 PM EST on January 6, 2010

Greetings, HCS Forum.

You guys have quite the reputation of decoding many gaming audio formats, so I've come to you with a strange music file that cannot be played properly.

http://stashbox.org/v/760921/MENULOOP.SS

This is a looping menu theme from NFL 2K1 for the Sega Dreamcast.

If you attempt to listen to it as a Dialogic ADPCM (Vox) file in an audio editor such as Goldwave or Audacity, you can hear the music but it skips and stutters. The volume fluctuates, too.

If it helps any, the game also has IFF format audio files for player and commentator voices.

Is this an obscure audio format? Or is it possible that it's actually a more common format but SEGA/2K Sports renamed the filetype for whatever reason?

Thank you very much for reading. Hopefully this audio file can be figured out.

Looks like typical AICA ADPCM, let me play a bit with GENH creator.

Okay, I got it:

Put in the same folder as the .SS file and run this command:
copy /b header.bin + MENULOOP.SS MENULOOP.GENH

You can play the resulting file with VGMStream.
