FIFA 97 Saturn Commentary Export Help by adams06 at 8:59 AM EST on February 25, 2025
Hello to everyone. I want to ask you for help. I tried to extract commentary audio files from Sega Saturn FIFA 97 Game. There is one audio file PBP.MCD. I am mannualy extracted first file from it with hxd, and then try to open with Audacity imported raw. I tried 16 PCM 11025, bigendian, and I heard Motson to said 'Botafogo', but there are too much noise. I tried other values, but without success. Also, inside fifa bin there is another file PBP.HCD. Maybe that files are linked. I also tried to add bites from PBP.HCD to extracted file, but without success. I tried ffmpeg conversion, vgmstream also, sox and 'Saturn PCM <-> Windows WAV' , But also without success :)
Can you help me :)

Enthusia Professional Racing [PS2] - Wrong Looping? by Roxanne at 3:58 PM EST on March 1, 2025
Hello,
can anyone please check the release for "Enthusia Professional Racing" [PS2] in terms of its looping settings. On nearly all tracks (which are used for the in-game menu), you can hear a "cracking" sound when the looping starts over. A good example is "bgm00041.lbin".
Thank you in advance,
Regards Roxy

No more new/updated CoD, NFS gamerips? by Katsur at 8:37 AM EDT on March 11, 2025
I still remember when I saw RacingGameSoundtrack's gamerip of Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed from PC in the vgm.hcs64.com's upcoming file upload list. But for some reason, it's gone. What gives? UPDATE: Oh wait, it's on! Good. But, there are more NFS installments to improve (already existing gamerips) and/or add (those that aren't ripped yet), but that's only a matter of time.
And, about Call of Duty? Oh yeah, I wish they were updated with proper "!tags" playlist file for extra convienence in some archives, but what about post-Black Ops II? Black Ops 1 has WAV files strangely encrypted, so I couldn't play them normally (I played it on my Steam).
Either way, both of these series may also receive new gamerips and updates with an addition of an aforementioned tagged playlist (a really awesome feature!). I'm just wondering if it will happen, but of course it's a very difficult task. And it's only a matter of time.
Simply tell me your thoughts about current VGM gamerips of Need for Speed and Call of Duty series.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Falsebound Kingdom .PAC (Audio) by Gagnetar at 4:01 AM EDT on April 9, 2025
Hey there! I've been collecting video game assets for many years because I like the potential of them being used for personal fan animations or mods and the old yugioh games are a favorite of mine. But alas, there seems to be no quickbms or foobar magic to be done on these gamecube .PAC files. If I had to hazard a guess they seem to be compressed archives containing gamecube adpcms. Lemme know if anyone can decipher it for me! I'm mostly after the sound effects (I believe they're in the grp.pac) but I'll also take the music streams if you're willing.

MGS3 Soundbank Descriptions by PsGeek243 at 5:40 PM EDT on April 11, 2025
For those who wish to personally rip simple WAV files from MGS3 (LIKE ME), I made a list in my free time that names (ALMOST) each soundbank file found in the PC Master collection. Some of them are unnamed due to their unknown origin, so they could be important somehow or unused.
-HOW THESE SOUNDBANKS WORK-
MGS2 and MGS3 use the SDX file extension, which is a custom PSF2 file that loads audio into the 2MB RAM audio chip. The files are numerous and expansive due to this limit. There's one file name for Snake's voice and sound effects (pk0f00a1), and the others are named specific to the scene's environment.
They go by number from beginning levels to end. The only exception being V which stands for "VIRTUOUS MISSION" (THE WAY IT'S NAMED IN THE STORY). Every other soundbank like (s006b) is specific to "OPERATION SNAKE EATER".
To rip the audio files, you can use PSound to extract at any sample rate and then play them. They won't sound right though due to compression and the way PS1/PS2 plays these files. To assist in finding the correct, or resembling rate, use sample rates like 28000HZ, 44100HZ, and 48000HZ and use a program like OpenMPT or POLYPHONE to play a key and pitch it up or down accordingly, in addition to adding or lowering cent value by 10 if needed.

Here's a fun fact: If you load an SDX bank (WITH A SIMILAR PRESET STRUCTURE) but then delete another SDX bank in the files that is supposed to replace the loaded one, the previous bank will stay loaded sometimes and carry over to the menu/other levels. This can cause very hilarious sound hacks like replacing the crocodiles footsteps/sounds with dog noises or making Ocelot sound like a normal guard NPC. If there is not a chaos sound mod by any chance out there, here's encouragement to make one!

Ripping music/audio files from Catwoman GameCube ISO by KarmaKrow at 1:15 PM EDT on April 16, 2025
I need advice on how to rip or extract any soundtrack, music, or audio files from the Catwoman GameCube ISO.
I'm mostly interested in the 'club music' heard within the nightclub area of the game.
I'm having trouble creating a PSF for this game. Since it's not listed on joshw or Zophar, I suspect it's technically difficult to extract.
Looking through the game files, I found clearly labeled files: BGMALL.SEZ, RPG.VB, and RPG.VH. Using VGMToolbox, I was able to extract 33 SEQ files, which matches the number of BGM tracks in the game, along with the VB and VH files. I attempted to create PSFs from these, but most of them produce no sound — occasionally just a single note.
I created a sound driver using PSF Stub Creator from the SLPS_008.76 executable, but the result was the same.
I tried extracting BGMALL.SEZ with ficelzs, but it didn’t help.
I analyzed the files with pgconv, but only three MIDI files were detected. When I tried playing them, they produced no sound.
Using PSound, I analyzed RPG.VB and was only able to extract sound effects and what seemed to be tone samples.
In VGMTrans, BGMALL.SEZ displays 33 SEQ files. While they do have a pQES header, the commands that follow seem disorganized or inconsistent, making them look different from SEQ files used in other games.
Interestingly, SNG37.SEQ and SNG38.SEQ located in the same folder were able to be PSF-converted without issue.
While an SSF (Sega Saturn Sound Format) set exists for the Saturn version, I really want to create a PSF set for the PlayStation version as well. I never expected that extracting music from such a niche game would be this difficult.
If anyone with the technical know-how has any information, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

using TXTP format to match Nintendo Music editing by VGSB at 8:15 PM EDT on May 2, 2025
I'm trying to match Nintendo Music as closely as possible using TXTP. For example, the track Mario Kart 7 "Selection Screen" is approximately the following: STRM_MENU_SINGLE_MULTI.bcstm#C1,2,3,4,5,6#@crosstrack2
However, the actual track cross-fades back to C1,2 after C4,5 and repeats the cycle before fading out. I tried a lot of things but can't figure out how to do it.
One thing that would really help unlock a lot of possibilities is being able to cross-fade between two different files rather than streams within the same file. Is that possible?
How does one set the length of the cross-fades?
And is it possible to reference the LOOP_START without typing the static number manually?

AirStrike 3Dis a trilogy of casual, Alawar Golden Era 3D bird's-eye-view shoot-em-ups , where you control the helicopter shooting enemy vehicles to thwart evil plans of one global terrorist organization, NITO. The games' files, including tracker music, are stored in APK files. I tried to find a compatible app to extract the game music, to no avail. There is no compatible QuickBMS file to extract APK, but there was a GitHub repository, but I'm not sure if it will work, and I'm lazy. So... anyone interested in AirStrike 3D's APK archive file (and by extension Alawar-distributed shmup library, including Crusaders of Space, Star Defender, etc)? Let me know.

notable secret song portions after loop points by VGSB at 8:44 PM EDT on May 14, 2025
I've stumbled across a few secret song portions after loop points. You can see some examples by creating these empty .txtp files and playing them in foobar2000: * 34 second DK Island Swing ending: Nintendo Wii U\Donkey Kong Country - Tropical Freeze [Donkey Kong - Tropical Freeze] (2014-02-13)(Retro)(Nintendo)\Trophy_Bopopolis.ddsp#i.txtp * 6 minutes of extra recording for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 song (seems to be a lot of other cases similar to this): Nintendo Switch\Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017-12-01)(Monolith)(Nintendo)[Switch]\048 - Mor Ardain - Night.nop#i.txtp * Aquatic Ambience ending note: Nintendo Wii\Donkey Kong Country Returns (2010)(Nintendo)[WII][Nintendo DSP][BNS - RAS]\beach_blubbo_bpm150.ras#i.txtp
To find more, you can create an "Ending Length" foobar2000 column with this Display script and then sort it: $if($and($info(LOOP_END),$not($strcmp($div($info(LOOP_END),$info(SAMPLERATE)),$div($if3($info(SAMPLES),$info(STREAM_TOTAL_SAMPLES)),$info(SAMPLERATE))))),$pad($div($sub($div($if3($info(SAMPLES),$info(STREAM_TOTAL_SAMPLES)),$info(SAMPLERATE)),$div($info(LOOP_END),$info(SAMPLERATE))),60),1,0):$num($mod($sub($div($if3($info(SAMPLES),$info(STREAM_TOTAL_SAMPLES)),$info(SAMPLERATE)),$div($info(LOOP_END),$info(SAMPLERATE))),60),2)))

Making a CD+EG editor. by wav3 at 9:59 AM EDT on May 29, 2025
Hi guys! I stumbled upon the http://extended.graphics site from Wikipedia and it inspired me to make my own CDEGs. I am on Linux and i don't want to use outdated software. I decided to make my own editor and player in D.
I have the player part mostly working. But now i am struggling to get ideas for how I would design the editor part. https://github.com/whatsavalue3/CD-EG-Editor
My main issue is that the CDEG has a very low bandwith, so if i dont want to limit the user, i have to be very careful not to overload the CDEG. Another issue is, how would i design the UI for it so that it correctly represents how much the format is capable of.
Would love some ideas and brainstorming help.

psf/psf2 ripping - questions by DarkSolidSnake at 8:40 PM EDT on June 28, 2025
Hello. I need some help ripping PSX/PS2 games that use sequenced format. I have a few questions:
1. Some PS2 games (for example: Ape Escape 2 and Sky Odyssey) use SSHD/SSSQ/SSBD (HD/BD/SQ) format, which i can't get it to work with Matrix Wild Arms 2 driver. Grin managed to rip Ape Escape 2 and fixed the driver to play the files in a proper way. Can someone make an improved/universal driver based on either Wild Arms 2 or Ape Escape?
2. I have decided to request a few PSF2 driver rips:
ae3driver.irx:
Ape Escape Pumped and Primed and Ape Escape 3 aside from streamed tracks use .HD/BD and MID files and there's no .PSF2 driver rip.
suikoden4drv.irx: Suikoden IV uses .HD/BD files and the sequence are .TD files. The driver should be an improvement to the Silent Hill 3/Winning Eleven 5 driver.
3. PSYQ sdk works on Windows 98/XP and i can't get it to work on a Windows 11 64-bit system. How can i get PSF Stub Creator to work properly.

Request: Paprium decoding soundtracker by ConnorB at 2:14 PM EDT on July 26, 2025
Hello,
The game "Paprium" is now accessible via special Genesis-Megadrive core RetroArch emulation since the work done on the ROM.
To furnish the son game, the MSU-MD driver to add CD quality audio to Sega Genesis games was successfully used while waiting for the real tracklist to be read and because no other solution is currently possible.
In summary the whole graphical part is emulated, however, for orignal music this is not yet the case.
Paprium is a non standard GS/MD ROM.
In the fact the soundtrack is stored in the ROM, but the soundtracker is based on a Micro Controller Unit "STM32" used for the graphical part but also the soundtrack.
The grapicals parts are simulated but not the sound decoding.
The idea is to figure out how to read the sound tracks directly from the ROM.
Perhaps since the extraction of samples with an external reader.
Then allow the same thing from an emulator...
The challenge is important for purists and for the preservation of the heritage of the video game.

Why am I doing this? It's because someone really wants to improve gamerip soundtrack archives so badly, as I feel. Watto's basic version doesn't allow viewing game files, not even textures (TGA, PNG, VTF, DDS). And, QuickBMS era is nearing its end.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Unknown Sample by davhcs at 8:55 PM EDT on August 2, 2025
I have 2ndLoad_0.aw_000000fe.wav from DKJB and i don't know where it comes from.
I am once again asking for your ~financial support~ audio assistance: Bloody Roar Primal Fury/Extreme by TheFirstHunt at 10:11 PM EDT on August 12, 2025
Top edit: I've since figured out how to replace them. I have questions that aren't related to audio (such as how to replace the text with English) but that isn't suited for here. Thanks anyway!
As the title says, I'm looking for assistance with the GameCube version of Bloody Roar Extreme/Primal Fury. Specifically, with identifying and extracting/replacing the game's voice audio, so I can make a patch for Extreme, since it has quite a few mechanical advantages over Primal Fury but I much prefer the English dub. I believe the audio is located in each character's respective .fpk file(s), but my searching online has yielded very few results for ways to extract/view .fpk files, and none of those results yielded anything when I tried them. Thanks (again) in advance!

Race Driver Grid Xbox 360 March 2008 Prototype by DekkaJ at 10:04 PM EDT on August 18, 2025
I'm at a dead end trying to extract the menu music from this demo. I’ve never extracted anything from an Xbox 360 game, so I don't know if this is just par for the course, but once I extract the ISO, this game is made up of: A folder of videos, a system update folder, then the rest of the space is taken up by 341 8192kb files named in the format "x360.000.[3 digit number]", and one x360.000.nfs file (which doesn't do anything if I point quickbms at it using the Codemasters NeFS script).
Is there a way to turn all these files into a coherent folder structure like in the PC or Mac version so I can find the audio folder so I can put the right files into vgmstream or similar?
It would be nice to give this prototype a page on TCRF, and the music is the first big difference to the final game you come across. Also I want to listen to it. On my Zune.
Chernobylite Wwise header proper txth by marcoxD95 at 6:03 PM EDT on August 21, 2025
I extracted Chernobylite recently to get ahold of the music and struggle a lot to make playable files.
I know its a Wwise header but seems like the first 71 hex bytes are garbage data. Oddly enough I cannot make a proper txth file for it.
I was able to get VGMStream to play a file by deleting the first 71 hex bytes of the uexp and renaming the file to .wem. However, doesnt seem to display the codec and bitrate properly and its a tedious way.
I made a .txth but apparently it doesnt work. No idea why it doesnt work.
Could anybody perhaps lend me a hand with a txth file that works with the Wwise files with uexp and ubulk extension that Chernobylite has?
Here are the files in question: https://app.filen.io/#/d/ffe12d9c-f728-4e61-aeee-002e0f8e079a%23596650314c5a48395f4257344b784759437574506937505662314e502d434f62
