The game uses the most well-known MusicPlayer2000 engine, but has the ability to change the playback rate by calling the m4aSoundMode function on its own.
The initial state is set by the function at 0x8000548, and the setting is changed by the function at 0x800056C when necessary. I have not disassembled the gsf set created by Caitsith2, but I believe this part must be missing.
The problem is that I don't know which song number playback to fix, but if I program it to be controlled by the minigsf parameter, it would be less painful to change.
Ideally, I should be able to provide corrected results in the near future, but I have been terribly busy recently, so please do not get your hopes up too high.

i have the key, as it is in vgmstream's list of hca keys, but for some reason no software i try works, either they dont see the files or it spits out errors and empty hca files. i managed to do the usm files with no problem but i want to know what's the actual way to decrypt these.
im kinda new to this whole extracting stuff, so please give me a hand.
foo_psf does not work with them for some reason and generally I didnt find anything that actually plays them.
Any idea?

i assume theyre encrypted as it sounds like the actual audio mixed with really loud static
i tried using the method seen here however my criware initializer shows " "useDecrypter": false,", so it doesnt give me a key at all
here is a sample of the audio, i would like to know if someone manages to decrypt it

I even tried several midi players and its everywhere the same so the problem seems to be with the midi/sf2 file.
Does anyone know something about this?
I'm trying to run an old speech IC IDE. Unfortunately when I run the program, it launches before displaying a dialog box saying "Error Password ! You can't run this application !" Hitting "OK" promptly terminates the application. What is the solution to this?
Recently, I discovered that this game uses Sequenced Music for most of it's in-game music and sound effects. I managed to convert some samples with PSound as well as sample instruments. Because of PSound's extraction, for some reason the loop points don't sound correct as they do on the file viewer, but fortauntely, I think it's not too bad of a fix since it seems that the end loop point of every file type is always the one that needs some tweaking. Loop points, proper sample rates, and even the thousands of files inside of stage2.DAT are not the problem for me. But what I don't know is how to extract/convert it's sequenced music.
I am using METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SUBSTANCE as my ripping source. I have heard in other forums that .sdx is apparently the extension of the audio banks, maybe even the sequences I'm trying to find, but I don't think PSound brings those up. Does anyone know of a way to extract those sequenced files and convert them to MIDI? Also, I know that this game uses a similar audio engine that METAL GEAR SOLID 1, a game I am also trying to rip for MIDI and SF2. I recall a forum that has Ruby extensions for converting it's .mdx sequences to a MIDI file (I haven't succeeded in a conversion yet).
Does anyone know if those tools can be used to extract .sdx (unless it's .mdx like MGS1) or if there's some tool out there for exporting Instrument information? I know this is a lot, but I figured since I'm interested in SF2 creation, I'd ask.

I know there's an old thread about this but the mega archive was deleted or something.
I couldn't find much info about it but basically I dragged a lot of voice/SE spk from the game into the SOADec tool and got a lot of unpack archives (ISF header?)... and that's it. Not sure what to do next :'D
Any help would be appreciated!
.bms script or else:
https://coraksoft1.narod.ru/temp/rip/TIGER.DVS
Structure:
offset 0x14: number of files / 2
offset 0x28: 16 bytes for each file: hz, 0, length, offset
also there is some 5 bytes (?) separator every 16kb that would sound as Click.
Is there any alternatives? If I can't do this, I will share the raw files I am trying to work with.

This meant I could have the menu music in Mario 64 be any song from the game. Now I am intending to do the exact same thing for non-first party games.
Can anyone tell me how I'd do this?
Starting with Goldeneye. The menu music is called "folders" (length '03e2' and offset '42812c')
I want to be able to have any other song from the game play, instead of the menu music.
I also intend to do this for other games later on. SubDrag tool lists the length and location of each sequence - but I cannot find any table where I would edit it so when the game reaches the main menu - it instead plays a different audio sequence.
Basically, how should I reliably find these tables in various games (if they even exist). Then I should be able to edit them accordingly
Thanks!

I figured out that audiorom.img contains a bunch of these sequences from the beginning of the file to 0xAA82F, but I cannot confirm whether those sequences are bms or not, because I could not find a header anywhere in audiorom.img or in any of the other files. I tried testing a few of the sequences with BMS_DEC to see if I could output a midi from any of them, but the tool did not output anything with these sequences, so I do not know anything about them.
In main.dol for the game, I found out that the samples are located in a JaiSeq file called "nintendo_hi_0.aw" somewhere in the game. Simlarly, I found the .aw file in audiorom.img from offset 0x137380 to the very end of the file. I extracted it and played it raw through audacity (~0.20 times the speed at 44100hz), and can almost clearly hear the instruments despite the static (it still needs to be decoded).
Now I'm guessing that there's supposed to be an initializer file (i.e. JaiInit.aaf) for playing the sequences or ripping the singular sound bank, because I've used tools like GCTools and JaiSeqX for other JaiSeq games like Pikmin or Wind Waker. However the only thing I found between 0xAA820 and 0x13737F of audiorom.img was this weird section that starts with "== MML PASS CHECK ==" followed by something I cannot read (I'm guessing the Jai stuff starts around 0xCF700, but I do not know since it's still kinda formatted in a crazy way).
Is there anyone who's an expert on JaiSeq stuff that can look into audiorom.img? I did not find any documentation relating to bms sequences in Animal Crossing for the Gamecube, but I wanted to look in a few places around the fourm before staring a thread here:

Can anyone help? here is the files Miner Dig Deep Samples
I have the base.apk for the app, the awb file that contains a lot of the audio (that runs fine), and then the usm files that with VGMToolbox outputs a bunch of green (so it's encrypted). How would I go about decrypting it with cri_mod (which needs the keys)?
apk and some usms
If someone could that that would be grand!
Specifically, I've been trying to figure out the names of each sound effect within the Sound Effect (SE) RBNK in the file called "rp_Box_sound.brsar". Using VGMTrans, I'm able to export each sample collection into .wav, but all of them are called Sample_0000, Sample_0001, Sample_0002, etc. The names of each sound effect are shown in the collection tab, but they aren't in the same order as the .wav sample collection and they are sequences. I've tried exporting some of the named sequences into MIDI + Soundfont2, and playing them in VLC Media Player, but it doesn't play anything.
This leaves me with two questions:
1. Does anyone know either how to find the sound effect names that properly link up with the .wav sample collection in the RBNK?
2. How do I play an exported sequence MIDI + SF2? Each MIDI I've tried exporting has had no sound and is 0 seconds long when trying to play in VLC.
I haven't heard the entire soundtrack yet, but after hearing the Title, Sewer, HQ, and Street tracks and comparing to the other soundtrack on console, I have come to the conclusion that this port is using synth music instead of STREAM files.
The only problem is that when I extract the main files, they seem to be all packed in .vol format. I don't know if this is a custom format made by Nickelodeon, but if it is, can anyone direct me on how to extract these files and maybe get the samples and instrument values used for the soundtrack?
Also shout outs to the people who still know this game. :D
For the longest time it wasn't even rippble, but relatively recently VGMTrans got updated to work with a lot more of Square's AKAO encoding, so I'm definitely grateful for what works now.
However, when I go to pull the sequences from certain tracks, I'll only get part of the song, not the whole thing. The worst one for this is "U.B.", the final boss theme, where you only get a 6 second loop from the intro.
My best guess is that some tracks have multiple sequences, but VGMTrans only detects one of them. If anyone would have a possible workaround for this it would be greatly appreciated.

I am honestly at a total loss as to where to find them. The .NJ files are models, the .NT files are textures, the .SFD files are pre-rendered cutscenes, and the .MLT and .DRV files I believe is for a beta song. I have no idea what the .PRM or .PVP files are for, but judging by their file size they don't contain audio either. My best guess is that they're within the .BIN files, but I tried scanning every .BIN file (as well as every other file type) with PSound and that netted no results.
So my question then is where exactly IS the game's sound effects? Are they contained within the .BIN files or are they somewhere else that I missed? And how would I go about extracting those sounds? If anyone can assist me in finding these I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

The music seems to be in a single .awb file, but I have been unable to extract it from the UE4 .pak
Currently there's already the GBS rips for the Game Boy version of Tetris Attack as well as Pokémon Puzzle Challenge available, but the Puzzle Challenge rip only includes the actual game's music and not Panel de Pon GB, with this also being a different arrangement than Tetris Attack's versions. I was wondering if anyone is capable of getting Panel de Pon GB ripped as either an inclusion within Pokémon Puzzle Challenge's GBS file or perhaps entirely its own "Unreleased" rip instead. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'm trying to extract the music from the PS2 game Everblue. The underwater music has sound effects mixed in, and the PSF2 file I found is missing most of the music tracks. I can't manually record the music due to the sound effects, and tools like PSound only seem to find tones, which suggests the music might be generated by a script.
Does anyone have experience with extracting music from PS2 games that use scripts to generate music? Any guidance or advice on tools or methods that could help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Wii games use BRSAR files to store sequenced sound and/or sound effects. The only tools that somewhat export the data is BrawlCrate and a version of VGMTrans which was modified to help SiivaGunner team members make high quality rips. The best tool to export the sound properly is a SDK tool called NW4R Viewer, which only works in Dolphin with the setup I have provided. There also is a SDK tool to play only the BRSAR files, but I haven't gotten it to work with Dolphin the way it's supposed to work. This tool also works to view BRRES files, BREFF / BREFT files, and BRLYT files.
1. Download this, unpack it, and place a BRSAR file in the folder called files.
2. Launch sys/main.dol in Dolphin
3. Press the HOME Button, use the arrow keys to switch the mode to Sound Mode, then select Open File by pressing the A Button. Select the BRSAR.
4. Use the arrow keys to select what sound you want to view, and press the A Button to play it.
5. If you want to dump the audio, select Movie -> Dump Audio on Dolphin. It will save it to Dump/Audio in your user folder. You can speed up the emulation to make it dump more fast, it wont speed up the playback on the audio dump
The documentation and other files for the viewer tool is here and here for the sound tool

Deflemask or Furnace will be nice. VGM Music Maker - fine too. No samples. 4 or maybe 5 channels for FM and 2 for tone, without noice channel of PSG. Defle i can convert into GEMS. VGM MM, with some ass pain can too. Never work with Furnace, but i dont think it will be harder, than Defle.

You can clarify, because some of my interpretations are incorrect, because some of the acronyms sounded vague for me; I was thinking.
But... what do Retro Studios AGSC/CSMP/RFRM, EA SPS, CRI HCA, Sony VAG, etc stand for?
Where did I got those terms, you ask? VGMStream, obviously.
The main reason why this topic exists is because I want to make sense of many of those mysterious-sounding acronyms to the wider, passionable audience.

I'm a neophyte on this world of audio on consoles.
People asked me to help them with some audio files from a Monster Hunter ROM. It turns out that they are in zwdsp format. I understand that this format is proprietary to SEGA.
They shared .srt and .ssd files with me. I managed to convert these to .zwdsp with the tools provided on this website.
I am not familiar with the ecosystem of the DSPADPCM format that Nintendo uses on Wii, and I cannot find precise information about it.
Do you have knowledge of tools that could help me convert from .wav to .zwdsp format, or at least bibliographic material to better understand the necessary processes?

Why am I saying all of this? It's because I'm very tired of installing multiple components (including VGMStream) one-by-one after installing a specific theme that requires dragging that "foobar2k-v2" folder to replace already-existing one. And that's burdensome, uncomfortable, tedious, unfun.
In the end, do you guys have any ideas about custom themes/skins (or both) with VGMStream (and other VGM playback component) on foobar2000? This would be fun.

So, what are the factors of such time constraints (let's not start with family matters, it is already understandable)?
There is a game whose file header is 48 43 41 00 01 03, and the hca file version is 1.3. I modified my own audio and there is no sound when I import it into the game. I found that the file header after my modification is 48 43 41 00 02 00, and the hca file version is 2.0. So how can I generate file version 1.3? I tried to change 02 00 to 01 03, but the result showed that the file header was damaged and it could not be played in the game.
My hca file is not encrypted, and I can directly hear the music using CriAtomPlayer.exe.

I tried vgmstreram, psound, ADPCM, mfaudio and either say unsupported or dumps distortion.
specifically its from prince of persia - sands of time on ps2.
Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this?
I wonder if the format Midway uses for their arcade it's possible to be added for vgmstream or such. I know there's tools avaiable already but it didn't support games with hard drive yet.

Me, too. Well, I don't believe this was supposed to be the case. Using VGMTrans to view and extract the sequence files reveals panning in the tracks.
I'm curious to know if the audio engine can be modified to restore stereo playback. Any ideas?
Here is an example file in the hopes of getting these to work, the full amount of files is too large for me to send at once but the game is available to download from https://oldgamesdownload.com if needed.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!

its for modding Squad Vietnam and arma reforger, i make machinimas and dubbing in patriarchal gaming
i've managed to extract the music from MF, but it's on a .uasset/ubulk format I don't understand.
Sample: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uVWQKZOCwVSiqcVtnUH7pNPDB3tRfjdQ/view?usp=sharing
Since it's a Unreal Engine I think it's a .ogg, but IDK. Thanks in advance.
Has someone been able to get the midi from the .psf files?
The reason is Duc Nguyen created not full sound driver list. There's some lies were there: https://vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=Nintendo_64_sound_drivers
I'm only know, that Nintendo's sound driver was not licensed to various developers. Not like MP2K or Nitro Composer. Most of Japanese developers and groups like Mint, Music Worx and Pure Sound used their own sound drivers. Most of western games used Software Creations sound driver, due the developers used their tools and hardware from Nintendo's devkit. And in some japanese games, according to SubDrag's research.
Regarding Nguyen's thoughts, not all games uses Software Creations' sound driver. Some games used unique sound drivers, especially games by Boss Game Studios, H2O Entertainment (only two Tetris games), LucasArts and various others. And also, FMOD sound library (South Park Rally) and Miles Sound System as audio compression technology.
But most of last games uses MusyX driver and MORT voice compression technology by Factor 5.
Some drivers should be checked and confirmed.
Before I'm tried to extract ROM files for checking sound formats, but i don't know, how it can be extracted.

This list was started by Duc Nguyen because of his own obsession. In early version of his list he wrote all sorts of lies there, which I had to eliminate: https://vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=Nintendo_DS_sound_drivers
I'm know only Nitro Composer by Nintendo, DSX Sound Engine by Shin'en Multimedia, sound driver by Engine Software, which mostly used in games by 1st Playable Productions and games which composed by Bart Roijmans. Later i found sound driver by Logik State, which mostly used by Allister Brimble and Anthony Putson and sound driver, that used in games by Ubisoft Casablanca (King Kong, Prince of Persia, Star Wars: Lethal Alliance and Rabbids series).
Now i checking some Nitro Composer games used CyberBotX's NDStoNCSF tool and NDS Header Tool. Later i found that last Shin'en games used sdat files, not dsxe. I mean, in Barbie and the Three Musketeers and Aliens: Infestation. And Over the Hedge uses gob file instead of dsxe, while Shin'en Multimedia is creditied there. It seems that DSX by Shin'en used only in 31 games (or 32 including demo version of Anaka, but it unconfirmed). Maybe there's missed some games.
Also I'm used EPFExplorer for checking games, which uses Engine Software. Also I found, that games, which uses Logik State sound driver, uses .ls files.
I will be glad if someone helps me with confirmation.
Can you help to rip music+sound from old game "Jan Pienkowski Haunted House" to .wav?
1. Resources are in .cxt format. So it's MediaStation engine
https://github.com/npjg/MediaStation
2. It can be ripped with "disney_lion_king.bms" script to .imts.
.cxt ripper: https://vk.com/doc-84049169_686386491
3. imts can be anything, from animation with sounds, or sounds/music. The sound data are in: 22050hz, 16bit, signed byte. So here's data:
itms2wav: https://vk.com/doc-84049169_686386484
- simple .imts to .wav (with wavehead util), but needs fix from clicks + remove animation datas.
gamedata: https://vk.com/doc-84049169_686386896
original imts files: https://vk.com/doc-84049169_686386717
wav from imts files: https://vk.com/doc-84049169_686386749
Please help.

Chip Player JS - Nintendo 64 (SoundFont MIDI)
The MIDI files contain special metadata events with the name of a SoundFont file (I wish there was a standard for this; I just made it up). When the player encounters this event, it will fetch and load that SoundFont into the Fluidsynth engine (Fluidlite).
Most of the work here was tweaking/repairing SoundFonts with Polyphone, and extra processing to convert N64MidiTool exports to well-behaved MIDI files (unroll loops, release/retrigger overlapping notes, and so on). My SoundFont tweaks are best-effort, and there might be a few remaining MIDI glitches, but I'm happy with the results.
I should mention Derselbst has done similar (and probably superior) work for ANMP.
Shoutout to SubDrag and anyone who helped compile all those game configs.
