I apologize if im making an obvious mistake, Im a compete noob at all this and im no good with command line tools.
Help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
almost forgot here is one of the files I uploaded from the game http://www.mediafire.com/?koh4vkyp5yc5k1o
if anyone could successfully convert that and tell how you did it would be awesome thanks.

It doesn't sound quite right when putting one channel on the left and the other on the right. Sorry if I'm totally coming off noobish but I was hoping to join the tracker with something to contribute at the least.
I've read many post around here on how to convert .NFS/.SPC/.VGM to .mp3/.flac.
Some people are very pro foobar2000 and others winamp .codec.
so today (july 14th) which is the best software/codec to transcode this 3 old VG format.
also concerning .NFS if I'm using foobar2000 I'm getting 3:00 min default track leigh BUT with winamp I'm getting propre time leigh is it possible to do the same with foobar2000?
Your help are very appreciate people, thanks :-)

These tracks are:
Bonus
Donkey Kong Rescued
Swanky Swing
Boss Bossanova http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWxWDZPT7cA
Also with the recent discovery of Boss Bossanova, maybe there's other tracks, like Primal Rave, Haunted Chase, and Forest Interlude?

The pitch is simple: Play chiptunes directly in a web browser. The website is here: Game Music Appreciation. So far, it catalogs NES, SNES, Game Boy, Nintendo DS, Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast chiptunes.
My colleague suggested that I should eventually incorporate vgmstream at some point. Meanwhile, I hope the site finds some fans from this forum.
I see some familiar names as I look at the main forum index-- Knurek, in particular, a prolific ripper/dumper. Go to my game music site and search for his name. The site indexes the metadata attached to the chiptunes, including ripper/dumper info, though it doesn't presently show that in the interface.
Originally, I was planning to use Nosefart for this project until I discovered GME. I was thinking about making Nosefart the NSF/e backend due to the Metroid feedback. But per my reading of the Nosefart source, it can't handle the /e in NSF/e (doesn't handle .nsfe, only .nsf).
What other NSF/e backends are recommended? Thanks.
Anyway, I've been trying to import a piano arrangement I made from Rhythm Heaven Fever's Remix 10 into the actual game. So far I've gotten this far: Blah
However, it's slowed down and the left and right channels are different because it probably needs to be mono or something. I don't get it but oh well.
I've used sndconv.exe to convert the original wav to spd (Rate:44100 Output:ADPCM) and just copy and pasted it into remix10.rwav while editing the header to the correct size and everything.
But it still sounds weird. Any clues? Am I even using the right program? If not, what should I be using?

Now I know that NEZplug++ can be used as a stand-alone player or as a plug-in for Winamp; having to move the in_nez.dll file into the Winamp plug-ins folder. My first question is whether or not I need to place any other files provided in the NEZplug++ zip file into Winamp?
My next question is how do you perform channel panning using NEZplug++. In NotSo Fatso, you can easily do it within Winamp. Is the same functionality available with the NEZplut++ plug-in? If not, can you do it in the stand-alone executable? I know you can toggle the different channels on and off, but can't seem to figure out channel panning.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR EVERYONE'S HELP!
I want to mute the channels (<_<) in Stilt Village from Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA version obviously).
After opening "AGB-BDQE-USA.gsflib" in HexEdit, at what address are the hex values for Stilt Village's channels? Stilt Village is the first track, i.e. AGB-BDQE-USA-0000.minigsf
And, if anyone knows, does it follow a similar pattern to 2SF, i.e.:
Channel 1 = 0001
Channel 2 = 0002
Channel 3 = 0004
Channel 4 = 0008
Channel 5 = 0010
Channel 6 = 0020
and so on, until Channel 16 = FFFF?
So if I wanted to play Channels 3, 5, and 6, would I simply add 0004 + 0010 + 0020 and put the value at 0034?
I've noticed you primarily occupy yourselves with older consoles, but any help, no matter how small, I would be grateful for.
So I'm looking to decode the audio files from NBA 2K12, the PC version. It's a yearly basketball franchise (if that wasn't obvious), that when first released on PC (2K9 iteration), used linear 8-bit PCM in a raw file with no obvious headers, just one song after the other, and the durations and offsets were probably hard-coded into the EXE, or they just weren't obvious to the people doing the research back then.
Here's their findings: http://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=68166
Since 2K10, the format has changed. The file in question, jukeboxmusic.bin, went from 400MB to about 20~50MB, and the audio quality in-game was obviously deteriorated, so they haven't just hidden the songs elsewhere. I'm guessing that from the nice 48000Hz Stereo PCM, they went to something like 22050Hz Mono.
However, even those settings, using 8-bit linear PCM in Audacity or Adobe Audtion for example, gives me a duration of a few minutes up to half an hour, which is much shorter than the expected 1h20m to 1h30m. So my guess is they've changed their encoding.
Based on the fact that the file is 23876 KB, and the expected duration of the audio, and the fact that I know for a fact the audio quality is pretty shitty, any guesses on what the encoding might be?
I'm guessing it's still something raw based on the AU file format, because of 3 clues:
1) 2-3 AUAUDIO strings in the game's EXE.
2) The use of raw PCM in 2K9.
3) No mention of an audio/sound technology license (like Miles, Fraunhofer, or anything of the sorts) in the copyright notices in the readme, manual or in-game.
Any further information you might need to help me, don't hesitate to ask.

This is very simple. How do you change the order of GBS files in a playlist? I thought you just changed the number where it says:
"file.gbs::GBS,[x],Title,Length,,Fade
E.g:
Donkey Kong Country [Donkey Kong 2001] (GBC)(2000)(Rare)(Nintendo).gbs::GBS,4,Donkey Kong Country - DK's Treehouse,0:1:02,,0:0:10
Donkey Kong Country [Donkey Kong 2001] (GBC)(2000)(Rare)(Nintendo).gbs::GBS,3,Donkey Kong Country - DK Island Swing,1:46,,0:10
Donkey Kong Country [Donkey Kong 2001] (GBC)(2000)(Rare)(Nintendo).gbs::GBS,10,Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambience,2:21,,0:10
Donkey Kong Country [Donkey Kong 2001] (GBC)(2000)(Rare)(Nintendo).gbs::GBS,15,Donkey Kong Country - Voices of the Temple,1:50,,0:10
Donkey Kong Country [Donkey Kong 2001] (GBC)(2000)(Rare)(Nintendo).gbs::GBS,0,Donkey Kong Country - Fanfare,0:09,,,
and so on....
But not only does the actual playlist remain in the same order, the actual songs are in a completely different order.
The "DK Island Swing" track now plays "Voices of the Temple". DK Island Swing should be the 4th track in the playlist, and Voices of the Temple should be the 16th.
Because I'd really like the stereo versions of the music, especially the exclusive track "Japon".
Ripped using VGMtoolbox's ADPCM extractor. Every audio file plays in this fashion. Is there a specific method to getting these files to play correctly? It seems like it might be a pain in the ass to get legitimate rips from source of this game.
Seems it is already been worked on

It took me quite a long time to figure out that the device is analogous to a OPL chip.
Is there some specific method to go about making them work? I've attempted this with a good amount of ADPCM files and none ever manage to output in stereo in Winamp.
EDIT: DURF. Just realized that loop samples have to be exactly the same in order for it to work. I never realized that it needed that exact detail.
edited 7:19 PM EDT August 13, 2012
No idea how to go about playing/accessing these. Hex editing doesn't give any clues (from what I can tell) but hopefully someone here has experience with these filetypes.
My findings are:
Some of the fanfares in Power-Up Panels are actually sequenced, and use RWAV samples.
The red smoke clouds use two sound effects at once
The giant spike pillar's retracting sound is actually lower-pitched than the RWAV
As for the Starman map screen music, it's streamed, but it's an RWAV.
Sorry for this thread, but I don't want to bump my old NSMBWII sound effects thread.

Also, if your account was deleted, it was most likely due to not visiting IRC and having me validate it for you. If that's the case, all you gotta do is reregister and visit us. That too much to ask? ;)
As far as I know, I haven't deleted anyone who isn't validating. I give an 8 week period for validation. Once you hit the 8th week, bye.

vgmstream lists Sphinx MUSXs as supported (not sure what platform was used though), but I'm not able to play these at all.
The file was extracted from the giant (560MB in a 790MB game) Filelist.000 with no obvious compression via hex editor. The plaintext Filelist.txt says:
x:\sphinx\binary\_bin_gc\music\hce00000.sfx : Len 1588104 : Ver 0 : Hash 0x21e00000 : Loc 1647d000:000
Thanks for any assistance.
I unpacked some .dspw files from a Wii game (Sengoku BASARA) and the BGMs and cutscene audio play flawlessly in Winamp + vgmstream. There's some other .dspw files which i assume are voice clips that Winamp won't recognize or play.
Here are a couple of those files: http://www.mediafire.com/?gc8nz8pabzr7dhe
Maybe because they're mono files or they're encoded differently? What are the chances that vgmstream could play these someday or is there another player that can read these?
After removing the first 10 bytes to remove the sfh header, I can convert it to an aa3 but it will only play the tune for maybe 5 seconds before hitting complete silence. Same applies to all other files in the bunch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, is VS XIII the longest time that a FF game has been in development, I mean considering that it's August 2012 and was first announced way back before even the Wii was released, at E3 2006?

Unfortunately, the files weren't in there. There were, however, some files that I'm sure might contain them: dvdimageA.dat and/or dvdimageB.dat
there are also two files named dvdimageA.pos and dvdimageB.pos which I'm assuming probably references the files in the respective dat file.
Upon further research, I couldn't find any sort of tool to look through them, or any information on how to unpack such files. How do I go about unpacking/extracting the music from these files?
Not sure how to go about getting this to sound correct. I figure someone around here might have tinkered with Midnight Club 3 or Bully's files enough to help me get this working. I can get some sound out of it via GENH but I'm clueless on whether or not any of the headers are correct.
Before asking the forum I tried many options without any result so I guess I can ask the expert around here
here is my problem, I'm playing some SNES .spc files with foobar 2000 they are playing well no problem at all but I would like to save some files in .mp3 but each time files are encoded in 32khz and I would like to save them in 44khz like the rest of my soundtrack files, is it possible? I can with NFS and GBS files so I guess it's possible with SPC too :-)

no offence against this person but it seems a little bit unprorriate to me TO FUCKING TALK LIKE THIS ALL THE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING TIME...
it adds no purpose talk like that and it only makes you sounds even more retarded
maybe the person lacks a proper brain function to figure out you could also simpely ignore the bloody questions and only anwser those that make sense... at least that makes sense to me
actually, iam pretty sure it`s TUK...

Either that, or simply converting 'ticks' to a length of time?
For example, I have a MIDI at 140 bpm (constant tempo) with a loop start of 480, and loop end of 4704. I assume those are 'ticks'.
I know that in this case, 4704 ticks would be 85 seconds, so I could just simply do 480/4704 * 85 = ~8.67 seconds, so the loop is roughly 0:08.67 to 1:25.00?

But nothing that simply explains how to add a loopStart and loopEnd.
I did just read about how to add the loopStart in Anvil Studio, but nothing about loopEnd. IS the loopEnd always simply the end of the MIDI itself, and can't actually be changed? So, would I have to just sequence, or edit any of my MIDIs so that they only play up until I want it to loop? So if I wanted it to loop at the beginning of the 54th measure, would I simply have to have it so that only 53 bars were in the MIDI?
Oh look, I found out how to do it...
Open a MIDI in AnvilStudio. Go to Track 1, then composer, then put the cursor where you want the loop to start, and then go to add MIDI event and select Even 0xb06f...
Guess what? I did that.
WHY THE FUCK IS THERE NO "LOOPSTART" EVENT? AND WHY DON'T MY MIDI LOOP?
When I follow a short tutorial on how to add the loopStart, I expect it to be able to loop. There's NOTHING that explains how to add a loopEnd, so again, I assume that the loopEnd is fixed to being the end of the whole MIDI. So, when I add event b06f with a value of 127, as suggested by that so called 'tutorial', I expect to have my MIDI loop. But not only does it NOT loop, there isn't even a fucking "loopStart" event at all. I actually opened it up in foobar2000, and it didn't even have any <MIDI_LOOP_START> or <MIDI_LOOP_END> value at all.
http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/How_do_I_make_a_loop_point_in_a_MIDI_using_Anvil_Studio%3F
Sure that's for some kind of OHRRPGCE thing, but all I simply want to do is add loopStart and loopEnd to MIDIS. I don't want to know how to get it to look in GaymMaker, or Yoyogames, or any RPGMakers, or anything. I just want it to have loopStart and loopEnd.

I'm hoping to also extract the instrument samples out of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, seeing as the music is sequenced.
Inside of the game directory, there is a sound directory filled with a Music folder, an SE folder, a Stream folder, ad a Wave folder.
In the music directory, there are about 85 different 'songs'. (thats a really large amount more compared the the official soundtrack, which only has 52. I hope some day we can get VGM stream or something to play this.)
The files in the music directory are really small, and knowing that the music is sequenced, I think its fair to assume that the 'wave' folder probably contains the samples in some shape or form.
Upon further inspection, there are two different types of files: ".wd" files, and ".wi" files. I think .wd files may be archives containing various samples, but i'm not completely sure. The .wi files, upon probing with a hex editor, appear to have references to various instrument files (eg. crumhorn1_c3.wv, crumhorn2_D3.wv etc), which I think just about confirms my suspicions. How would I go about extracting .wd files, should they be archives?

I wanted to make a PSF for the game Wild Arms 2 and get the SEQ file, but whenever I follow a step in the tutorial, the files don't show up where they are supposed to be. Help, please!
Infact, I even converted a GBS rip of what I assumed was the original version of Pocket Monsters Midori (there was also a 'Rev A' which I assumed was V1.1), into WAV, as well as Pokemon Blue, and both Lavender Town's theme are the same... so much so that inverting one of them in audacity and 'mixing' them into one track cancels everything out leaving complete silence.
Is there a game rip of the ORIGINAL version of 'Pokemon Green Version' that contains the ORIGINAL Lavender Town's Theme? I'd prefer a direct GBS rip, rather than any GBS>MP3/WAV conversions, so that there aren't any 'echoes' that the OSTs have or whatever, and so I can actually compare them accurately with the exact same settings I have for GEP.
I do right now just noticed that I am considered a V.I.P but am unsure what that means, or if that excludes me from that rule or not. Regardless I would still like to help maintain some life in the tracker system.
I assume I am V.I.P purely because I was signed up prior to that Ratio rule becoming active?

Header is mzrt, which has led me to nickname it mozart format.
here's what I know, probably some kind of adpcm, due to around 3:1 compression size compared to the original doom 3 raw wav's data
pfire_01.wav is 74kb versus pfire_01.idwav is 23kb.
also I know this may seem silly to want to decode, but what i really want to take a crack at are the rage sound files, which are pretty much the same, except the headers are in one file and the audio data in another huge streamed file. Headers in that were also mozart style.

The information to the right of the 16kHz mark looks nearly identical (not always though) on most songs as the previous information (10-16kHz), is this some method of mixing the changes of those frequencies onto one channel into a mono stream?

There is a program to rip instruments, and Glover is supported. Similarly, a program exists to rip MIDI's from some N64 games, but Glover is not one of them. I could probably figure something out if I knew where the music was in RAM or ROM. any ideas?
Extracted, I get CAUD and CSMP files, as well as one ATBL and a few DGRP. ATBL is system-related, and DGRP probably is as well. The names are just 0_ and 1_ followed by lots of hexadecimal.
Does anyone happen to know anything about CSMP and CAUD? Is one or both sound effects instead of stream? The CAUD files have text in them like samus_land_metal_heavy that appear to describe sound effects, but seem awfully small to be any kind of audio. Then again, I know next to nothing about SFX. The CSMP files don't give me any indication what they're for.
Not much hope of ever getting usable audio out of them, but I'd like to know more.

If anyone happens to have this, or manages to find it and uploads it to like MediaFire or something.. I'd be grateful.
Apparently it's a winamp plugin for DirectMusic related files.
I have been trying to get my hands on Silent Hill 3s Sequenced tracks but in midi form. I have no clue how to get it from the PS2 version. The instruments are in a file called XBG0.MFA. The PC version is actually streamed but layered.
But I have ran into the Silent Hill HD Collection version for Xbox360 and PS3. It is sequenced still for god knows why.
There are FILES called .bd, .hd, .td, and .snd in both the Xbox and PS3 version for each song. So far I found out .bd contains the samples and .hd is the sequencer... I think. I have no clue what .snd and .td are. .snd wont play.
I used VGMTrans to try and extract the wavs from .bd and tried to convert .hd to dls but that doesn't work. It simply does nothing. Nothing is converted or saved. When I try to save them as raw I get 0 bytes of nothing.
I'm still learning here. So educate me! =)
I open this file with UltraIso, but when I try to save the file, the program only can save in .iso .cue .bin but never .CVM
i need a program.
How can create this type file?
Thanks
One good thing? VERY Good quality, obviously. Well most of the time.
Two bad things. Well if I said ADSR.. you'd know what I mean.
The other issue is any MIDI events on a percussion track. For example, if you know how the underground theme from NSMB sounds, you'll notice the percussion changes the pan position almost constantly, however, when I did the above, it was just permanently of the right.
Here's 2 examples from NSMB:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxGzY1eGAiitU2NKX29fVmFXLXc
World 8 Map, and Underground, respectively.
Does anyone know how do get the instruments to have the correct attack, decay, sustain and release.... things? And also, the whole panning thing?
but I can not open the filelist.000.
Do you have someone who was open?
Does ANYONE know anything at all that could playback the .sty's and .sec's of the IMA system? It's basically the infantile precursor to DirectMusic.
It was used in Blood 2 and Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, perhaps also in Alien vs. Predator 2.
first few bytes of a .sec:
RIFF $C4 $02 NUL NUL AASEsecnx
and first few for .sty:
RIFF $02 & NUL NUL AASYstyl^ NUL NUL NUL S NUL h NUL o NUL p NUL o NUL p NUL 1
The string there in the .sty reads "Shopop1" for whatever reason it splits each character with a NUL.
There's also a iMusic.ini that looks sorta like this:

Ficedm doesn't understand this ancient format and Google isn't helping. (As if it ever did for me, I just get lead to places to download the DLL's for IMA and articles about it's introduction into video gaming... as well as a article about how to set it up on a website of all things)
If anyone has any clue to this estranged format and how to get it playing (or better convert it to dmsp aka Direct Music Producer) I'll be eternally grateful.
DLL's involved with the API (as far as I can tell):
AM18.dll - Microsoft AudioMan
IMRT25.DLL - Microsoft Interactive Music Engine - RT
IMRT1625.DLL - Microsoft Interactive Music Engine - RT16
IMRT3225.DLL - Microsoft Interactive Music Engine - RT32
IMUSIC25.DLL - Microsoft Interactive Music Engine
MSynth25.dll - Microsoft Synthesizer
P.S. If anyone needs files and feels confident to look into this.. reply and I'll upload the shopop folder to my dropbox.
But trying more places is better. I know there are soundtracks, but they don't play the full versions. Or probably don't have all the tracks.
The Turok 2 Audio CD has a lot of tracks, but literally cuts off sometimes more than half the track. For example, there's a track that runs for only 4-5 minutes on that CD, but the actual track goes for over 11 minutes (just for one loop -- Darren Mitchell seems to be obssessed with ridiculously long tracks).... then there's the Violence Killer Turok New Generation Soundtrack, which only has 13 tracks, but has the full versions of the songs.
So it's either more songs but half of them (individually), or the full songs but only... half of them (in total). So I'm assuming the actual game rip has the full versions?
I ripped hyper street fighter 2 adx from ps2 release and I'm looking to insert them into dreamcast version of super street fighter 2x
the problem is that ps2 adx are version 4
i need version 3
is there any tool that can convert adx v4 into adx v3-while retaining previous loop points ?
if not is there a tool that can analyze adx version v4 loop points and give a reading for adx version 3 loop points ?
thanks
any help is appreciated :)

Should help export correctly now, or better at least.
How can I edit them?
I've been trying to edit them for many weeks but I always fail (sorry I'm a newbie). =?
I am a friend of Prince GAS Vegeta and Skazza, and i'm making a mod with them called "Ultimate Budokai AF" and i need to do a video.
The codec of the original video is MPEG-1 (Sofdec) and i tried a lot of things. No one of them worked.
I used TMPGEnc 2.5 Plus, but nothing works, black screen. Than i used an HEX editor, and i looked that in the encoded video (encoded by me) we have a lot of parts, separated by a lot of dots (00 in hex) but in the original encoded video (encoded by Cri-Ware and Bandai) we have only a compact part, not a lot of parts. And on this big part, we have this value wich is repeated in the hex: <SUDPS_><000006>02ANPP.. This is the "sign" of bandai, and in my encoded video is "Encoded by TMPGEnc"...
Has anyone got the Sofdec Encoding tools? On the old site (that is now off) there were a lot of freeware utilities of CRI-WARE SDKs... :( Please help me :) I'll give credits in the game to who sends me the tools ;)
