I recently extracted files with .bd extension, which contain sound files. How to extract them ?
Thanx
Here's the sample : http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23153339/PL19.bd
Hmm. Thats about it. Hope I didnt forget anything, and thanks in advance.
As it is right now, I've got it stripped down without the hard drive or battery using that guide, but how to continue taking it apart, I'm at a bit of a loss, and I'd rather not try to "figure it out" and end up with 200$ down the drain... So could you point me to some of those guides you had mentioned a while ago?

I'm using the in_vgmstream plugin on an application that is not winamp, and it is working perfectly, except that the config will not save, thus I can't get my ogg files to loop forever.
I tried in_cube, and that config saves fine, although it won't play my ogg files.
So I was wondering if it was possible for you or anyone else to make a version of vgmstream with config that saves similar to in_cube, or even simply defaults to 'loop forever', because that is all I need.
Thanks for your time,
Justin.
Thanks
See ya
If it is possible, I would like:

If you can't do this for me, it's alright.
only problem is, when i use fsb mpeg or fsb ext on an extracted fsb from the SoundNodeWaveEX file, i get either a headerless mp3, or possibly just garbage, either way its unplayable for me. it seems to think its done good though, telling success!

that's one of the files, i can provide as many as nessecary.
Also, converting wave to Swav.

The last few days I've been combing just a couple of sites so most of the entries so far are pretty bare, but I have done 1500 entries in that time and by the end of the month I expect to have gone through 4 or 5 sites so the listings should be pretty adequate.
Basically at this point I'm gauging interest levels - if anyone thinks this is a worthwhile endeavour I'll keep it up (plus it's wiki based so I'm hoping it won't just be me forever) otherwise I'll write the last week off and go back to MI2SE. :)
so does anyone have a relation list?
eg MH3BGM_LOBBY 0 ML_J_NI_SH
but that is the wrong id

I don't know if anything can be done about this, but the USF set for Duke Nukem 64 is missing the ending theme, which is the main theme with a sped up tempo.
Here is an emulator rip of the ending sequence.
http://www.mediafire.com/?7h0neka6zpc9ppc
Turns out to just be IMA after all, so I replaced the decoder with the more standard one from vgmstream, checked that they behave identically.
I'm somewhat unhappy with the sound quality, but this may be due to poor encoding.

I was thinking you used those codes on VGMToolbox?
I think I need to use Sony ADPCM Stream Extract. But I don't know what files to drop. I have the ISO.
Help?

AAC/MP4/etc : GPL o.o
USF: No commercial use
viogsf/etc/ : BSD?
DUMB/module : BSD-style
MP3: LGPL
FluidSynth/BASSMIDI: Not GPL.
MilkDrop: BSD.
Just wondering if someone can help me fill the gaps. And if there is a MP4 decoder out there that doesn't use the GPL.
Main reason is....
After being banned off freenode and off the hydrogenaudio community, and XMPlay does not fit my needs, I need to program my *own* music player for my *own* purposes, and one that most importantly, fits my ethics. That is only for me, so I don't have to use future music players.

I have a strong suspicion that each one of these files represents one of the songs in the game. There are exactly 150 songs in this version of DDR, and there are exactly 150 of these files around this size. The disc also has 150 smaller .DAT files, which I'm sure represent the 10 sec. samples played on the song select screen. There are also a few random .DAT files, which probably make up the menu music.
Please let me know what you can do with it. Thanks.

My dad threw away old floppy discs. All I have left is an install on a Windows 95 hard drive. Luckily the drive still works. Recovered the files. Fired up DOSBox, ran the software's SETUP program, attempted to run PLAYROOM.EXE.
A file is missing.
ABC.DAT
Nightmare. Why is only that one file missing? I've looked through every single box in this house to find the old discs. They are gone.
After much brooding, I finally got the clever idea to copy and rename an existing DAT to get the program to start, knowing that the ABC activity will never work:
Abandonware sites like to claim that the crappy, non-VGA 1989 version is the only Playroom that exists. The REAL version is from 1993. Proof:
One "ROM" does exist that got my hopes up:
Playworld (1993)(Broderbund).zip
After struggling with DOSBox's questionable floppy disc image swapping support (only ISO/CUE, no file system?) to get the INSTALL program to extract the files, it was only the Backyard/Treehouse demo. Great. Nice job getting a complete rip, "INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF CRACKERS."
Now I get to hear what the SoundBlaster support is like. I was lucky if the PC Speaker worked back in the day.
A full version of Playworld does exist. It's just in a landfill somewhere:
Moral of the story: Don't throw stuff away.
I am fairly obsessive.
Please help me,thanks

First, the digitized sound files - along with other data - were stored in RBX container files. These can be extracted pretty easily -> http://realmofthehorseman.w.interia.pl/derbxer.rar contains an extractor (Windows binary together with C++ source).
After that, I ended up with a bunch of files - eventually finding out that the digitized sound is stored in the files using the .WAX extension.
Those appeared to have some form of headers. This utlity -> http://realmofthehorseman.w.interia.pl/waxscanner.rar (Windows binary and C++ source) reads the headers of any WAX files in the current directory and outputs them to a CSV file, converted to a human-readable format. A full output of all headers from the files is here -> http://realmofthehorseman.w.interia.pl/log.rar
The first dword value after the header appears to dictate the compression format - a value of 1 relates to uncompressed 8-bit PCM data, whereas a 4 means some kind of ADPCM implementation.
An associate of mine had the idea to try opening them as VOX files - this produced distorted but more or less legible output (the volume was off in more than a few places, though).
Digging through the main game executable, I found exact copies of the IMA ADPCM standard index and step tables. The nibble order appears to be top nibble, then bottom nibble (same as with VOX).
So far, I've been unable to create a decoder for this format; any help in the matter of decoding this format through other means would be appreciated.
I've uploaded several of the WAX files here for testing purposes: http://www.mediafire.com/?e0g2igc9443lv8j

has been some time I visited the forums. Lately I've been in recording games with the method primeblue used by patching the sound files.
I have succeeded with 3 games with a full sfx-free soundtrack for Super Mario Galaxy 1(170 tracks) and 2(200 tracks) and Animal Crossing: Let's Go The City (314 tracks) and provided links on ff shrine's forums.
ACFF was done with my BRSAR hacking because i figured out that all tracks not handled by ripping_mama are inside RSEQ and they are equivalent to SSAR files on the DS. Setting all data in the DATA chunk to FF (end of track) mutes most sound fx.
But for Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 I used gecko codes for the yoshi remixes and sequenced variations in SMG1 and zero-ing out all *.aw files except the *mahit*.aw was enough to get all tracks except for a few small ones, like the hungry luma themes.
My next challenge is Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, but this game is a hell to get all variations, since I could find about 7 to 9 variations a song and to make matters worse it's not perfectly arranged as Super Mario Galaxy is. I have now about 80 songs of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, but I fail at recording the blowhog and, rolling blowfish and the huge combo variations. Any help how to mute out a few sounds inside the .aw files? I know the exact files that contain sounds of the instruments, but it also has a few sound effects in it.
My findings so far
*mahit*.aw most soundbanks. b00_mahit.aw and 01_mahit.aw contain the general bg sounds, where the rest contains the melodies for individual songs.
b16_kawa.aw: half of grim volcano instruments
b17_kawa.aw: most of lava cavern instruments
b67_kawa.aw: the blowhog and rolling blowfish variations, but also mooshin's sound fx and the notes playing when dk walks or collects banana's
b73_kawa.aw: can't remember what this one contained
and I tried to figure out how to rip Twilight Princess music... but I couldn't rip it.
Can someone explain me the procedures?
I'm not talking about.ast (I ripped them and converted them to mp3 but they were not the music I heard in-game or was looking for) but those waves .aw, do these contain music? I used a scrubber to extract all files from iso, but I just need help on how to do get a complete TP music rip. I've got all data needed so it's a matter of minutes I think.
Also, if there's a way to rip wind waker music (got the dumped iso) please explain to me too.
I take it there's probably not enough interest in ripping the ~100 or so games and making a dedicated format/ player for Atari Lynx music?
Unfortunately, I've tried using Handy and it has too many issues with 'hiccuping' the sound to be able to sample from it. At least on my computer...
So... anybody following the developments or looked/looking into a couple of games to see if they can find anything?
Here's the file, if that helps. [9.7 MB]
edited 6:40 PM EDT August 24, 2010
i've uploaded some of the files here
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NXS4XG63
i've also included the directory for the soundbanks with the extension "bnk" as they look like they may contain information relevent to the stream ogg files, they are not "Bink" format so don't be fooled as it shares the same extension, although can understand "bnk" being used for "bank" too
I'll try 5 hours to see if there's ANY sign of a loop after that. If moosehunter sees this, I can almost guarantee, this single song will take up probably well over 50% of all other existing BRSTMs on your site. I know it'll take a period of time measured in possibly hours to upload. If I even find a loop that is. Like I said at Smash World, it has to have a loop, because if it didn't then well ... that wouldn't make sense, since, if there wasn't a loop and it literally as infinite, then it... hasn't been finished. If it doesn't have a loop, it'd at least end suddenly, but if it didn't have a loop, but kept going for ever without looping, then the game would be "infinitely delayed" <_<.
The point in this topic, BTW, is basically to ask if anyone has had any luck finding a loop point for Oblivion (or any other Turok 2 songs)? I think I'm able to do most Boss themes (as they are only 1 - 2 minutes long), as well as the River of Souls, Primagen's Lightship and Port of Adia, and maybe a couple of others, but some of them I seriously cannot find where the loop starts (let along ends).

I was having an issue with Winamp and changed some settings here and there. One of things included trying to update the current vgmstream plugin for Winamp. This backfired horribly. Now, for whatever reason vgmstream, will not be recognized at all. ADX, BRSTM, pretty much anything that the plugin handles will not play and the time will only show up as 0:00 and no matter how much I try to reinstall it, nothing works.
Upon checking file types, none of the extensions are in the list and in_vgmstream.dll does not show up on the plugin list even though its in the plugins folder. I've reinstalled Winamp twice with no luck, tried different builds, nothing. I must be missing something somewhere, but I don't know what. Anyone else else experience this or can provide any help? I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

Megaman X: Command Mission - 1 vocal track (more?)
Megaman Zero (I don't remember which of the 4) - 1 I can remember (it's on the ReMastered OST or something like that)
Megaman ZX (or is it Advent?) - 1 track (*.AHX, IIRC, in the ROM)
Megaman DASH 1 - 2 vocal tracks (that's right, isn't it?)
Megaman DASH 2 - 2 vocal tracks (that's right, isn't it?)
The Misadventures of Tronn Bonne - 1, or is it 2?
What about Megaman Battle and Chase (PSX racing game)? Does it have a vocal track? What about the Megaman arcade games? I recall that the OST, at least, had vocal tracks, but I don't know about the game itself. However, I can't find my copy of said OST, so I'm not completely sure that it does, or does not, have a (or many) vocal tracks (clarification on this would be appreciated).
Is there any I missed? Those are the ones I can think of right now. Anyway, I appreciate any help anyone is willing to provide on this. Mouser X over.

I even decompressed it using SF64ToolKit, & extracted the files.
Any other suggestions?
An SSBB modder has already coded a brstm encoder:
http://code.google.com/p/brawldev/source/browse/trunk/#trunk/BrawlLib/Wii/Audio
However, it's part of a larger program that requires a GUI to be run. C# is also not a language that I normally work with, so I wouldn't really know where to start.
How easy/hard/plausible would it be to make a standalone brstm encoder?
I'll upload a cut. seems to have a clear structure, i'm just not good with figuring out decompression, I'm guessing it's some type of adpcm or otherwise compressed audio.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NEDWIVR0
can upload more if nessecary.
So I have a couple of game rips I'd like, but above them there's Sands of Destruction for the DS. That's a game that has music from Yasunori Mitsuda (same guy that did both Chrono's). So instead of bothering someone else for it, I try to learn and do it myself. Thing is... well I think there's might be some advance stuff behind this one, because none of the methods that vgmtoolbox has work for me (and they did with older games, so I think I'm doing it right).
Well I really want to have this soundtrack as lossless as possible (the youtube rips of it aren't even complete), so the question is: can someone please push me in the right direction to figure out this one? I'm willing to do all the hardwork that it could possible involve, but I could use some help being told what that hardwork is, lol.
Well, thanks in advance for any guidance. I'll be waiting for an answer.
I select all the available Wii presets [rwav,rseq etc. and even riff] and nothing unfortunately happens.
I've placed my output folder properly and drag the .brsar file on to the input but it never extracts.
Am I missing a plugin? Any help would be great...
Is it because I removed half the files of the rip (only kept the _l files and deleted the _r files for space)? Could that be it?
Thankies in advance~!
And have I posted this before? Because I feel like I have... XD
From what i can see, at the very end of the file it list's the contents, although i'm only interested in obtaining the audio which seem to have the extension "tra" so presumably one of their known format's with a different extension name.
In the file i've posted here the following is in the archive for example (judging from the end of the file itself)
art\ui\albumart\dlc_diddy_badboy.tex
art\ui\songselect_images\dlc_diddy_badboy.tex
data\midi\dlc_diddy_badboy_duet.mid

data\reftracks\dlc_diddy_badboy_solo.ref
video\dlc_diddy_badboy.txv video\dlc_diddy_badboy_clip.txv
I looked into what Terminal Reality have done before & they did the Ghostbusters game so compared the audio files & "44 AC 00 00" seems to appear in both as does the "06 00 00 00" too but i don't know the exact format or where the files begin & end so if anyone know's what there doing would be kind enough to look into this, that would be great...

I've been using xendecrypt, fsbext, and the xma_parser to extract audio from some of the Guitar Hero games and I've run into a strange issue I can't identify.
Most songs extract and convert perfectly but occasionally, some of the extract channels are cut-off on the end (so far I've run into this on GH:VH and GH:SH). When it does happen it seems to always happen when I extract "channel 4" at offset 1800 (the final track in the file) from the from the first file in the set, and sometimes to others in the same song. It can vary between 1 and 4 channels that are cropped within the affected songs, and no two cut-off in the same spot.
So my question is- does anyone have any idea what's going on and what I can do to fix it? I've tried messing with every setting I can think of in xma_parser (and the other programs) to change it. Different offsets, block sizes, etc and nothing works. Here's one of the affected files if someone wants to take a look (Ain't Talking 'Bout Love by VH):
http://www.mediafire.com/?yv4s3jb7p18774v
The command I use to get the cropped track from the above file is: xma_parse m1 -o 1800 -b 10000 -r t4
Thank you so much for any and all help.

The past couple of months, I've been making some pretty fucking awesome songs. My inspiration comes from Anime soundtracks. I mean, there are songs in here that'll make you say, ''Goddamn! This is the mother fucking shit!!!''. The genre of the music is heavy and celtic metal. So, if your interested, click the link below and have a awesome time! Don't forget to leave a comment!

for example i playing 12kHz audio and it sound mostly ugly without noise that was hear'd on NDS
so is there simple way (through DSP plugins?) play it like on NDS?
We haters have a right to hate that gal and express our hatred of her.
The reason why I hate Toph that much is because of her bitchy attitude. Those who love it have shit for brains.
I like Katara better because she's more mature and sensible. Toph's just a hypocritical and spoiled brat who doesn't seem to know how to behave.
If you Toph fans type shit to me, THEN FUCK OFF AND EAT A DICK!!! I have the right to type whatever the hell I want about that character.
So, if your a Toph hater, like myself, feel free to join the party. xD
I have this 750mb Stream.XWB file (there doesn't seem to be a corresponding XSB) taken from Operation Darkness. It seems to contain all the game's streamed music, sound effects and voice acting. However, actually extracting that has been a bit troublesome:
-Game Extractor doesn't seem to support XWB yet
-EkszBox-ADX 1.6 recognizes there are XMA files in there, but seems to have no clue what file size they should be and, when I attempt to extract what evidence indicates are roughly 2,200 files, it instead extracts tens of thousands of 1kb XMA files, which really isn't helpful at all.
-unxwb dumps those 2200 files as .dat files which I frankly don't know what to do with (I assume these are renamed XMAs, but I have a handful of programs I can throw them against with no luck and lots of different instructions on how to do this). It seems to have built in attempted wave conversion but it doesn't produce playable results.
-I honestly have no idea how I'm supposed to use the XMA tool in VGMToolbox r687, although I have the necessary applications for XMA extraction. I tried throwing both the XWB file and the .dat files unxwb dumped, but if I got results, they didn't manifest anywhere I looked in any form I recognized.
-Finally, towav (the extra forbidden fruit?) seems to have given me the results I wanted - generally speaking. There's still some big questions...
1. Why do I get less wave files than when I used unxwb to dump the XWB?
2. Is there a way to make towav name files based on their hex address or whatever? Along the same lines, is it possible the XWB file contains file names for the XMA files, or is that only if there's an accompanying XSB?
3. If a towav rip seems to be playing the files correctly, can it be considered as accurate as it's going to get from towav? Or are there hidden command line settings?
Specifically, consider this file extracted via towav:
Mediafire
Rapidshare
~120mb
That's some of the combat music in the game, and while it sounds fine, it seems to loop around 5-6 times before fading out. Is that due to the original XMA file containing all those loops?
man, I know I'm missing some other stuff here, but I'd appreciate any direction.
(and just triple checking, but there's no way to play XMA files in VGMstream and the like yet, correct?)
For ''Lord of Arcana (2010)(Square Enix)[PSP][ATRAC3plus][AT3 SCD]'' how do I get these types of files to play? There must be some way. I would really like to hear Sakimoto's work in this game.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've been attempting to rip all of the music from the PSP game God Eater, though i've run into some trouble. Fortunately I stumbled on this forum...
I did a lot of searching and learned about AT3 files, and read that some of them can be disguised as .wav? I extracted a large amount of .wav files using AllMediaGrabber, and since none of them play in Winamp or any other player I'm under the assumption that they have the files I'm in need of.
Pardon the skimpy description, but I've been busy getting into ripping music from PS2 games as well, which fortunately has been more successful. Anyway, there was one open .AT3 in the root of the ISO, but I've had no luck getting a hold of any others. My main question is: are there any other methods that the music files could be stored in the .iso, and if so what is the best way/program to extract them, at least to a format that can easily be converted?
Thanks.
