- Ah, interesting.
So what exactly is GENH anyway? Are those files converted? Or did you just put the relevant metadata in there as well as the audio?
Do you think there's a way to convert directly from the Nintendo ADPCM to standard PCM without going to GENH first? It would just simplify the process a little. I noticed in one of your files as well, there was a goof when it looped, it created a really loud sound before starting again.
It was actually the largest of the genh files if you want to look at it. See the waveform of the converted file...

If you look at the right channel, you'll see the really big spike there.

-Rayman Origins (Sorting nasty 11khz mono BCWAV)
-Guild01 (Big mess of files, BCSTM though)
-Rhythm Thief (ADX :D, but I have to do it by hand since there aren't proper extractors for the ACB+AWB stuff)
and a few others like the Etrian Odyssey stuff and other SMT games like Soul Hackers. More to come soon ;)

- @Knurek It seems to be working now. I'm not sure what happened before.
@drfsupercenter It's literally a custom header format created here in order to easily convert files of a common type, without really having to write a specific decoder for that type. Hmm, which file is that one? I wouldn't mind if the set got re-created, since it could still use a banner.bcwav anyway.
- by Mouser X at 10:08 AM EDT on September 7, 2014
- *.GENH = GENeral Header. In ripping audio from games, it was discovered that some formats don't have a header, or the information in the header is incorrect. Or, as it is being used occasionally, it was easier to create a GENH header, than it was to implement native support in VGMstream. So, the idea of GENH is to either simplify the process of ripping/supporting formats, or to provide the necessary information to get the formats to playback properly.
FYI: On occasion there has been discussion to use GENH to include tagging information in the files (track #, title, game, etc.), but it's never been "formally" agreed on as to how to arrange the data, how to edit it, how to include it, etc. Also, and more importantly, no one has provided source code implementing this. If someone wants to step forward and write the code necessary for including tagging data in some kind of "GENH" or perhaps even "GENT" (general tag) header/format, please feel free. Since you'd be the one writing it, you'd be the deciding how to arrange/display/store/format the data. While I said no one could come to agreement on tag data, it's largely considered the job of the coder to decide how to handle it. After all, if you're not the one doing the work, what room do you have to complain about it? ;)
As for my two cents on 3DS music: Awesome work guys! It'd be nice if I had time (and an internet connection) to join in! Though, I'm beginning to consider getting internet at my house. I need a new harddrive before I do that though (if I get internet now, what little space I have left will be gone in less than 24 hours. I have a lot of stuff (largely audio from here) I've been wanting to download, but not place to put it). Obviously, this stuff (creating and sharing 3DS rips) has been going on in the background for awhile. I'm mildly disappointed I wasn't there for it (I'm sure it was exciting!). Great job all of you! Mouser X over and out.
- by drfsupercenter at 11:17 AM EDT on September 7, 2014
- In your pack, it's the one named:
streamedfiles_0000008F.genh
OK, so GENH is just a custom *header*, you aren't converting the actual audio data at all? I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any quality loss or anything like that :)
Did you do anything with the non-streamedmusic files? There were a bunch of smaller ones in the wwise audio folder too, which I assume are short sound effects but I'm not sure.
- by Jackano at 12:11 PM EDT on September 7, 2014
- Great job guys as always!
(I'm just catching up with 3DS rips)
Just in time for Smash Bros :)
Cheers!
- by soneek at 12:15 PM EDT on September 7, 2014
- This method we're using only works with games pre-firmware 7.0. So, Smash Bros., Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Pokemon Art Academy, etc. won't be rippable.
- by Mouser X at 1:38 PM EDT on September 7, 2014
- @drfsupercenter:
That's correct. When done correctly, the original audio should be 100% "extractable" from a GENH file, by simply removing the GENH header (aka, use a HEX editor to cut off 0x00XX amount of data, or whatever). The result should be identical to the files ripped from a game's data. That said, it sounds like on occasion (and I could be misunderstanding what I've read) some "alteration" of the original data does happen, though that's rare. If I'm understanding correctly, it's usually to add features GENH doesn't support, or to convert the "endian-ness" of the files, or some such thing. I can't think of any sets where this might have happened, but an example where something like this might take place would be thus:
A new game comes out from Developer "Y B Awesome" studios. Their previous games were all "*.placeholder" files, which were quickly understood and implemented in VGMstream (I'm creating an example. "*.placeholder" format doesn't exist. At least, as far as I know). However, this new game uses a new format, "*.newformat", and isn't simply a renameing of their old format. Upon further study, it turns out the two formats are very similar, but the new format can store replay-speed and pitch data (aka, in the game, the music changes how fast it plays back, and at what pitch, depending on in-game events). Or something.... So, to test out what it would take to get the *.newformat files playing, they're put into a GENH file. But, for the GENH to work, some of the original data needs to be moved around/altered/removed for the GENH handling to work correctly.
So, in most cases that I can think of, if an alteration occurred, it's usually to simplify testing of the new files within VGMstream. I don't know if any sets were actually released that way (it could happen?), but in almost all cases, when giving a file a GENH header, no conversion/alteration takes place. It's intended to be a container format (to leave the original data unaltered), similar to how AVI (for video) can contain all kinds of different video formats.
Hopefully that answers any concerns you may have had about GENH. And hopefully no actual alteration of original data occurred to create GENH releases (I'm not aware of any, but unfortunately, I'm out of the loop when it comes to rip releases). Mouser X over and out.
- by drfsupercenter at 5:11 PM EDT on September 7, 2014
- Ah, OK, I see. And looking at the file in a hex editor, I can see where the original RIFF WAV header started.
Makes me wonder why vgmstream wouldn't be able to convert the original files - extensions ultimately don't matter, it's the contents that do. You could name a mp3 file .doc and it would still play in most sane media players.
But on that note, can someone header-ize the rest of the Luigi's Mansion files so I can convert them to PCM? Most of the 3DS games, I can just take the BCWAV and do it directly, but these odd ADPCM files I can't.

- Ok, one more for the night:
Ace Combat - Assault Horizon Legacy [Ace Combat 3D - Cross Rumble] (2012-01-12)(Access Games)(Namco Bandai Games)
**Note with this set, the files are NAAC. Nothing more but AAC files with a Namco flavored header. Depending on which plugin you use to play these you might just be able to rename the stuff to .aac or remove the header up to where the raw MPEG4 data starts.
More findings:
-The Lego Movie Videogame uses dual file bcwav similar in function to how the L.vag+R.vag concept works. Need to modify vgmstream to support this.
-Adventure Time: Hey Ice King Whyd You Steal Our Garbage has custom dsp stuffs that I need to add to vgmstream or make them GENH. Haven't decided yet.
-More stuff
- by Kurausukun at 8:10 PM EDT on September 7, 2014
- Wow, I thought Dream Team's quality was bad, but those M&S at the Olympic Games files... UGH. Also, those Y rips are interesting... I remember I downloaded some X rips a while back, but they didn't play very well... they broke in most media players except VLC, and when they did play, the skipped a little bit. Seeking still seems to be broken, though. Not that I'm heartbroken, X/Y is probably the worst Pokemon soundtrack. Looking forward to that Racing Transformed rip, too. I struggled finding all the files on the Steam version.
- by Team Fail at 8:23 PM EDT on September 7, 2014
- @Kurausukun: That initial rip was broken, I had that one myself as well. Oh and XY has a few good songs, it's not all bad (Shalour City and Anistar City both come to mind). But yeah, that Mario & Sonic one is terribad. Not too sure why though. I think it might be that particular one though that might be missing some songs, I remember one song from the demo that's missing in that rip.
@Knurek: I'll have to find you sometime on an IRC channel or something. It seems you might have some information on a particular music format I'm looking into right now.

- by drfsupercenter at 3:16 PM EDT on September 8, 2014
- The rips from X and Y worked just fine for me - I didn't download the link here but I decrypted the ROMs myself and they're just plain, ordinary AAC files. They open in Winamp, Adobe Audition, basically anything.
The only 3DS game I've seen that had a "normal" format that didn't need any funny business to get working.
- by Team Fail at 4:39 PM EDT on September 8, 2014
- @drfsupercenter The initial dump of XY's audio was from slashmoulder and Bond697, however, I was told it was from when their romfs decryption wasn't perfected yet. Those imperfections broke some of the AAC files, which is why a redump was required.
- by bxaimc at 4:55 PM EDT on September 8, 2014
- Aye, for completeness I just uploaded my rip for the hell of it. Got rid of the dupes found when you unpack the game as well. I believe the loop data might be stored in the bcsar or in other cases, the executable itself.
- by drfsupercenter at 5:13 PM EDT on September 8, 2014
- I'm curious how you'd even rip AACs from an encrypted filesystem LOL
I didn't see any dupes, actually, in my own extraction. But the looping WAS weird, luckily it's not too hard to fix up in Audacity or similar.

- @soneek Wait, we won't be able to see a gamerip for Smash Bros. when it comes out? No way...
@drfsupercenter Thanks! I've been busy with converting and tagging a bunch of gamerips that I've never gotten around to looping the XY tracks not on the CD release. Think you can do the same with the WCS theme?
- by drfsupercenter at 6:25 AM EDT on September 9, 2014
- Yeah, I could - I didn't bother putting that one on SoundCloud as frankly I don't really like the tune that much.
Literally all I did was load the AAC in Audacity twice, line up the start of the second "loop" with the beginning of the file (as in, I dragged the second one to the right), made sure it was sample-perfect and then muted the overlap. Viola.
But sure, I suppose I can do that, only "problem" is that you have to save it as WAV to prevent any quality loss, so a small-ish file becomes way larger due to format shifting. Not sure if there's a way to losslessly loop the audio as it is... unless somebody could do that GENH magic with AAC files?

- Hi guys,
Listening to the Smash rip I noticed a somewhat deceiving quality. Idk where it can be from, but the thing is when converting, the sound seems too high.
I also read about 22khz on FFShrine but I have my doubs. Listening to the idsp in winamp sounds the same and not "100%" quality :/
While loving VGM, I still don't have all the knowledge of the working behind music, so here is an example I uploaded:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/vtxm7iffj7cm5do/Gerudo-examples.zip
You will see a straight wav conversion I did: idsp -> winamp with vgmstream of course -> wav (and then Lame MP3 320kps, no loose here).
I tried forced wav 44k and straight wav 22k, same result when looking at the waveform.
The other is my own line-in rip from last week, following the same wav -> MP3 conversion.
Ideas?
- by starerik at 11:34 AM EDT on September 16, 2014
- They are not 100% quality because that's how the original files are. The developers chose a lower quality to keep the file size down, since there are almost 200 tracks and Nintendo have this dumb idea to keep all games download-friendly instead of going all out with the quality. Also, all music is adapted to sound good through the 3DS speakers which is why it sounds like crap using headphones or not handheld/laptop speakers.
- by Jackano at 11:43 AM EDT on September 16, 2014
- But my rip is line-in, so basically headphones, and sounds better.
Doesn't change also the fact that the waveform comes out truncated.
Still, I'm not sure if it comes from my computer or from anywhere else in the process.
- by starerik at 12:18 PM EDT on September 16, 2014
- Your line-in sounds better because it's recorded. The conversion sounds worse because you convert it to 44.1 kHz and the encoder needs to fill out all those missing frequencies since the source is 20 kHz. You need to make sure Winamp encodes the same as source.
If you would have recorded Winamp playing the music externally in like Audacity using the "What U Hear" or "Wave" input setting in 44.1 kHz it would sound just like your rip, except noise-less. I'm not saying you should do that, though.
Find a way to convert them unaltered. It's when upsampling the sample rate (frequency) that it gets louder and distorted.

- The part that throws me off is they could have used AAC like the other Namco games on 3DS or BCSTM. They had the space for it since the game was only like 1GB or something like that. And if that wasn't enough room they could have gone out of their way to get more storage space on the cart (it's not impossible and chips have gotten cheaper) just like they did back when SSBB came out with a DL-DVD AND fix all of the broken consoles that couldn't read the discs sometimes.

- Oh, yeah it was stripped down to 1.16 GB or something. I really don't understand why they chose to do this. Thankfully the Wii U version will sound great.
- by Jackano at 12:51 PM EDT on September 16, 2014
- It seems people are getting abetter version by downsampling to 20 or 22khz. Alright then, thanks StarErik for the advices!
Wii U version will not have this problem (but do we know how to rip the music from there? I don't think so?).
I believe Sakurai will use every MB of space remaining to add music from Melee/Brawl and games, but I think the number of new arrangements will be limited to one per stage. And some of them are already in the 3DS version.
Finally, official OST is also releasing on Club Nintendo.

- The CD will be great. And no, no one knows how to extract music from Wii U except for a few people and they won't tell anyone how to because they don't want to endorse piracy.

- So we got the songs from Smash 3D, but what about the sound effects and voice clips?
- by MurraySkull at 6:02 PM EDT on September 16, 2014
- plpl3000, there may be stuff missing from that. I believe you only included left-channel tracks for a lot of things, such as the Airy battle themes, but not the right-channel tracks.

- I really gatta say thanks for the Dragon Quest rips!

- I'm going to be really polite here. The people who "won't tell anyone how because they don't want to endorse piracy", are motherfucking cunts that need to fucking burn in hell for being stupid fucking pricks!
Why the FUCK are they refusing to either tell anyone, or at least upload the files because of "endorsing piracy", YET they are CLEARLY fine with uploading hacks of textures.
Uploading HACKS of TEXTURES (copyrighted), is apparently TOTALLY NOT a copyright infringement.... somehow.
Can someone explain why it's apparently OK to hack a game, upload a texture hack, and other shit... yet somehow they think the audio is somehow not fine?
I'm going to rob a store. I'm going to take all the cookies and candy. But wait, I don't want to take the bread, because that's stealing.
It's the same. They are worried about copyright infringement and piracy endorsement, yet hacking textures surely comes under that. Why is texture HACKING OK, let alone just textures themselves, yet not music?
RELEASE THE FUCKING BFTSMs!

- Unless VGMStream isn't quite ready for playing back idsp files, the Smash Bros 3DS music is pretty lousy in terms of audio quality (Presumably whoever did the EQ for them optimized them for only the 3DS speakers and not headphones).
Other 3DS games sound fine, like Link Between Worlds.

- vgmstream plays them as they are. it just sounds really bad for anything that isnt a 3ds speaker.
- by Franpa at 4:21 AM EDT on September 17, 2014
- Okay, that's what I thought :/ Very disappointing. Hope this doesn't become a common thing for future games to dissuade people from extracting the music data. It'd also piss me off because I DO use headphones when playing the 3DS.

- I added direct nus3bank support to vgm
it's a bit hacky but it works except for 8 tracks (out of 203)

- @Franpa, bxaimc: Not related to the 3DS speaker, it was the fact it must played at 20khz. I recommand you to go see on FFShrine, a guy named 3DMan successfully converted the files, keeping them somehow like they are supposed to play and made a MP3 upload that sounds good to me (and the wav form is OK). It's your sound card/winamp fault if they are forcibly played at 44kHz and sound lousy.
Also see my discussion on the previous page with StarErik!
- by bxaimc at 7:48 AM EDT on September 17, 2014
- Um. Ok. Not sure if we're on the same page here (pun) and no my card doesn't not resample anything anyway. Just sounds shitty in general. But anyway....
Also @tuk this is exactly why they don't want to release the files publicly. How is your bitching supposed to help exactly?

- @Jackano: unless I'm missing something, the files I got from the same guy play back at 22khz in Winamp and don't sound any better (or worse) than the raw files.
- by bxaimc at 8:23 AM EDT on September 17, 2014
- They shouldn't. I think there's a big misunderstanding here. Personally anything that is sampled lower than 29khz sounds shitty to me. Not because of my card, but my own preference.
- by Espyo at 10:14 AM EDT on September 17, 2014
- Odd... I can't seem to play the SSB4 OST at all. I've played other things with vgmstream + Winamp before, and they've always worked.
My Winamp is the most recent version (5.666), and vgmstream's is r1039. Any ideas?
- by bxaimc at 10:38 AM EDT on September 17, 2014
- If you have the nub archives (nus3bank), you need to extract the idsp files from it.
- by Espyo at 12:46 PM EDT on September 17, 2014
- No, the contents of the .rar file provided by plpl3000 are in .idsp format...
- by banshiryuu at 6:06 PM EDT on September 17, 2014
- Oh wow, never would've expected SRW UX to be sequenced... disappointed, but not much that can be done for now. Thanks for looking into anyway! :D
- by bxaimc at 7:00 PM EDT on September 17, 2014
- Yea, just like Project x Zone.
- by Jackano at 12:46 AM EDT on September 18, 2014
- @dissident: Be sure to download his mp3 conversion, I checked the waveforms of 3 or 4 different tracks and the sound isn't lousy/truncated waveform so it's the real deal.

- by dissident93 at 1:58 AM EDT on September 18, 2014
- @Jackano: What am I looking for here? These sound just like the .idsp files and are still at 22khz. Are you confusing a gamerip with a line-out rip?
@Espyo: That's weird. I have the same setup and they played flawless for me.
