Mario kart double dash sound files by Dutchie at 1:14 PM EDT on June 15, 2011
Mario kart double dash' music is emulated with a sequence and samples.
i have ripped these files of the iso, and the file extensions are as followed:
the samples come as compressed .AW files the sequences come in a compressed .ARC archive and the streams come as .x.32.c4.ast files
the sequence are compressed to an ARC file and trust me, i tried every ARC extractor and none of them could get the file extracted
i tried the same for the AW files, no extractor could extract them
and the streams? i dont even know wath these are supposed to be, but i did not even bother to find an extractor for .x.32.c4.ast files
SO
the only thing i want is the samples ripped [so i have the raw .WAV samples] and i want the sequences converted to something so i can ATLEAST see the origional notes.
does someone know how this works? or can someone help me?
Getting the original sequence files to wav format is at the moment not yet possible. You'd have to wait some coders whip up a GC/Wii xsf. Seeing the lack of interest in this not sure if its happening anytime soon. :(
Inline rip is your best shot for now. I did see a complete flac rip of MKDD which include the menu songs (which are sequenced) in the ffshrine forums.
Also, as bxaimc mentioned before, the .ast files are not archives they are playable through the latest vgmstream.
