Eternal Darkness Audio Formats by Dark_Ansem at 8:04 AM EDT on August 27, 2014

I'd love some help in understanding the audio formats of Eternal Darkness, excluding BGM as VGMstream can already read them.

\audio\stream folder files present a structure similar to this, in Hex, as they have no extension:

..CE...+..}.....
.......+........
.........A......
..._.(.....1...c
................
................
c.. ...1..?....
"n...O./!.o_%.r4
q.X@..Y_b...!..%
".?.....Qc0`1.Q.
!C.@..Ua".2"S.B.
a~'.B1.M!...`...
x.....R.h,.v..4.
w. ../.|..cEd .3
v4..;.._W.." ..%
w:.\./.5w...B.L.
'.A.3.........q.
UF..B=..F.......
v.Q...K.62.A..2.

\Autopsy files are .aud files that vgm stream CANNOT play. they are possibly audio files, since each movie in-game has one .aud file attached.

the \effects folder has .poo, .pro, .sam., .sdi
those are very probably archives, but that's just my 2 cents.

profiding link to sample of each filetype...

Apparently it is already supported in the source code version.

Also feel free to share them archive them whatever!

64th note really needs to update by oddMLan at 2:43 PM EDT on August 30, 2014

The webpage of 64th note says:
"64th Note is a USF plugin for Winamp, based on Project64 1.6 by Zilmar and Jabo and Azimer's HLE Audio Plugin."

Now the Project64 2.1 source has been officially released, with tons of bugfixes, especially a very important one that affected all PAL USF rips using the Project64 1.6 core, which have the wrong pitch, a semitone lower than intended (!) (bug report here: http://forum.pj64-emu.com/showthread.php?t=3275).

Also Azimer released a new version of his plugin that implemented HLE support for Musyx games and added support for XAudio, making the games sound a lot better than with previous versions of his plugin. (http://www.emutalk.net/threads/55161-Audio-v0-70-WIP-4-Feedback)

Request fsbii Support fsb5 by plpl3000 at 2:43 PM EDT on September 2, 2014

Request fsbii Support fsb5,everything FSB5 needs to re-riped,vgmstream already supports fsb5.

fsbii 0.7 converts a multi-stream .fsb into a set of single-stream .fsbs, suitable for use with vgmstream. This is sometimes necessary for Wii games, thus the name. As of 0.5 it can also extract embedded FSBs from within (uncompressed) archives. 0.6 supports FSB4 and pads out the header.

Metroid Prime 3/DKCR CSMP Support by antidote at 4:25 PM EDT on September 7, 2014

in_vgmstream not loaded? by Ruthenium at 4:00 AM EDT on September 9, 2014

Hey guys, I was wondering if you all could give me a hand.
Recently, for no apparent reason, in_vgmstream for Winamp suddenly decided to stop loading, thus preventing me from listening to my favorite video game music in its native form. I had changed absolutely nothing in Winamp.
I have updated the plugin to the latest build and re-installed it several times. I have the required DLLs in the Winamp directory, and have re-installed Winamp, to no avail.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and Winamp v5.666 build 3516.
Are there any dependencies that possibly just vanished?

EDIT:
Well, looks like the problem fixed itself. I used the DLLs that came with the foobar installation, and it magically worked.

Guitar Hero WoR FSB Files by drfsupercenter at 7:24 AM EDT on September 9, 2014

I am curious if anybody has managed to figure out the odd format of the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock FSB archives yet.

For those who don't know, every Guitar Hero title prior to WoR - Guitar Hero World Tour, GH5 and the spinoffs (Metallica, Van Halen, Smash Hits, Band Hero) use an interesting container for their multitrack audio.

Essentially, the audio itself is not encrypted. The Xbox 360 uses XMA and the PS3 uses mp3. I cannot say too much about the technical makeup of the format, but I know there are three files per song - named .fsb.xen (on the 360) and .fsb.ps3 (on the PS3)

I had contacted HCS about this a while back, since he wrote some XMA extraction tools that DID work on these games, it was just a huge pain as you had to run a bunch of stuff manually.

As a result, he wrote xmash, the tool you can get from his software section :)
Essentially you can just run xmash on those 3 files, and you get the extracted XMAs. Pretty sweet, right?
Then all you have to do is run "towav" and you have studio multitracks from the game.

Guitar Hero 6 (also known as Warriors of Rock) changed something around though. Speculation was that they changed the encryption around, but that's the thing - with these FSB files, the keys you need to decrypt them are inside the files already! You just have to know where to look.

I'm curious if any gurus wouldn't mind taking a crack at it... the game's been out for several years now and the interest in multitracks has quieted down as well. I would just love to be able to get direct-from-game rips once and for all, the newest Guitar Hero title is the only one I am missing from my collection.

If anyone wants some sample files to look at and compare, let me know and I'll provide.

Help With N64 Sound Tool? by Kurausukun at 5:16 PM EDT on September 10, 2014

I'm trying to use N64 Sound Tool to rip some voice samples from Majora's Mask, but the pitch of the rips depends on the sample rate you input, and none of the standard ones (16000, 22050, 32000, etc) seem to give the proper pitch. At about 20000, it starts sounding correct-ish, but I'd like to know how to find the exact sample rate of the clips, or better yet, if a different program exists that does it for me.

GBA HQ Music rips: Why aren't more people making these? by Franpa at 10:11 AM EDT on September 21, 2014

http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=29892

Like holy shit this... process... it results in so, so, so sooooo much better quality copies of the songs it isn't even funny! And if you record them to WAV or MP3 format you don't even need to mess with soundfonts anymore when switching between games.

Why aren't there more of these rips? Was there technical issues? Or a lack of interest because it isn't emulation related?

Edit: I've come to the assumption it's because the tool only works with games that used the SappyAudio engine.

Could anybody record an Ocarina of Time track from a real N64? by nothingtosay at 1:26 AM EDT on September 25, 2014

I've read some people on here say in the past that the USF rip of Ocarina of Time plays slow, but I wonder if they're comparing it to the OST which definitely is faster. The OST sounds different from the game so it's not unlikely that it's at a different speed too.

I'd like to settle this but I haven't seen my Nintendo 64 in many years. Anybody got one and can just make a simple recording of a track or two? It could be anything but preferably not the Hyrule Field music since it's dynamic. If you don't feel like making the comparison yourself, you can upload your recording and I'll do the rest.

Parasite Eve SEQ rip? by mrjaredbeta at 6:28 PM EDT on October 12, 2014

I'm fairly new to VGM stuff. If anyone could point me in the right direction for learning how to deal PSF/PSF2 file formats, I would be very thankful. I just do not know where to start off. Also, sorry if I don't make sense.

Thank you.

Strange WAV files by puggsoy at 7:33 PM EDT on October 14, 2014

I've been trying to convert some files I extracted from the XBox game Whacked! They all have either the extension .wav or .saf, but they all have valid RIFF WAVE headers. The compression value is 0x69 (Voxware Byte Aligned), although I discovered that they can be played in VLC if I change that to 0x11 (DVI/IMA ADPCM).

Anyway, I tried to convert them to PCM WAVs using the test.exe from vgmstream, but only one file is willing to work, all others give me the dreaded "failed opening" error. I have no idea what could be wrong though, they all have identical headers (other than the file and data sizes of course).

Here's a zip containing a couple of files: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/oull6x3kbar7lnw/whackedFiles.zip Airhorn.wav is the only one that works.

If anybody could clear this up for me that would be extremely awesome.

Final Fantasy 6 Dancing Mad PSF WIP by Kirishima at 1:35 PM EDT on October 25, 2014

(REMOVED LINK)

The missing dancing mad parts, missing due to them actually being part of the same sequence. I was finally able to get these playing... somewhat. These are WIP that I probably will never be able to finish because I don't know what I need to fix in order to get these playing properly. So I would like someone with better knowledge of how the ps1 works to see if they can fix it.

What's wrong with them? The intros for both parts are painfully slow(especially noticeable in part 2), the main segments of the files play fine. What I did to get these to play was fill zeroes into where the specific parts of the sequence plays for each channel.

Ratatouille (GC) *.VAI by TheMygoshi at 10:09 AM EST on November 23, 2014

Hello I already ripped the PSP/PS2 version of this game but i have some problems with the wii/gamecube version. They have the .VAI extension and I can't extract them or open them correctly. It seems to bbe compressed ADPCM (gamecube adpcm for the gamecube I think).

Here's the file: https://mega.co.nz/#!4YwBlC4A!J97yQKklJsKS-cWfnsIWL9gSRkwJAbZrnDXhxyI_2Qg

BCSTM header to BRSTM header? by Kurausukun at 7:38 PM EST on November 24, 2014

So I have some bcstm files that I want to convert to brstm, but I don't want to decode to wav and then re-encode to brstm because that's hideous (inb4whocares). Is rebuilding the header without re-encoding possible/simple enough that an idiot like me could do it?

Madagascar PS2 RWS by TheMygoshi at 9:16 PM EST on November 24, 2014

I finally extracted the musics in the .RWS archives. I had just to rename withthe .rws into .arc and then open with ADPCM Player but I have a problem. The files have a problem at the end. The music will stop 2 seconds before the end, and I don't know why. Perhaps a problem of offset/loops?? I don't have any softwares that can extract these archives. I just found a "raw solution" with ADPCM Player because ADPCM Player believed that archive is not an archive and just an RWS ADPCM. I want to extract ALL of the files in a good result. I found some ambiances track, this is strange.

Here one of the files extracted with ADPCM Player and cutted at the end: https://mega.co.nz/#!8U4iGIhA!mmVNpJLSD ... Wft-YABNKA

The normal music without the tiny cut at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaNIFLaIyDI

Source archive (I just renamed the .rws into .dat for that the software can open the archive): https://mega.co.nz/#!9YIHiCRB!dYyBWdkd_ ... gea4Z4wTsM

Note: Not all of the files have this problem. The most are extracted with a good result.

Note 2: The files use the 22.05 khz frequency and are in 1 channel (Mono).

Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, MOD tracker files? by hoodlum47 at 8:17 AM EST on November 26, 2014

Hello all, I forget where exactly I heard this, but apparently this game (and its predecessors from Webfoot Technologies) doesn't use the Sappy sound engine like most other GBA titles but plain MOD files (as in the tracker format).

If someone can help me get these out (since GBA roms do not have an internal filesystem) or provide them for me I would be stoked.

Fable 2 Gargoyle insults by Ravendove at 11:47 AM EST on November 27, 2014

Thanks so much, Ravendove

Detecting VAG data (programming) by Nisto at 8:41 PM EST on November 30, 2014

Is there a good algorithm for it?

I've looked at the source code of vgmstream and I've tried to figure out how PSound does it but I haven't really been able to get a good understanding of the format. I've noticed that audio ends when the second byte within a 16-byte boundary is increased by 1 and the pointer is either at the end of the file and/or the next 16 bytes is either 0x00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 or 0x00 07 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 77, but perhaps this is not ALWAYS true? And even then, I don't think this would be a good algorithm in general as there could be just about any type of data where the second byte within a 16-byte boundary is increased and, say, 16 bytes of null bytes follows and/or EOF has been reached.

Can anyone help me out? I am trying to write a Python script to detect VAG data and then do some manipulations with it.

Majora's Mask Midi's by dj4uk6cjm at 10:04 AM EST on December 1, 2014

Technically this is a request so I'm just throwing that out there but here are the midis from Majora's Mask (N64) in MML/ZSEQ/M64 format https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8rHgE_H8aJsY25BWS01YlBPaGM/view?usp=sharing. If someone could just extract the midi data (files) and upload it here and possibly make a quick and dirty soundfont with n64soundtool...it doesn't even have to be good, just good enough to play the midis in case no one wants to wait until 2015 for the MM3D rip. I cannot emphasize how much I would be appreciative for this. Thank you.

Gamecube MusyX Audio Thread by soneek at 8:48 PM EST on December 1, 2014

Since this is gonna become a thing now, we may as well centralize stuff.

I've almost figured out how to completely convert the sequence format to MIDI over the weekend, and Nisto has done work extracting sound samples for this engine.

Next thing will be figuring out the instrument tables, so that we can make soundfonts to go with the converted MIDIs.

Tested games with this sequence format
Tales of Symphonia
Star Fox Adventures
Pokemon Colosseum
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour <- OMG FINALLY!!!
Resident Evil 0

Still some more testing to do, but things will be pretty amazing once we can fully enjoy this music.

Shin'en's GAX Format (GBA) by Team Fail at 1:26 PM EST on December 11, 2014

So, I've been working on a project for a particular game I've been playing for a long time. I've been wanting to reverse-engineer the game, as well as the audio format so that custom audio could be made for this particular game. I've gotten a bit of research done, however, it's been basically all me and my own research, and with College happening, it's been slow. I did see some posts here (Linked in my post that's linked below) from UNKNOWNFILE (Who seems to have gone inactive) that have helped a little bit, but I haven't gotten that much farther.

I thought I'd come here since more people here are musically-inclined, and see if I can further this project.

As mentioned, here's my findings: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=335312, I don't feel bothered to copy/paste all that's in there because it'd be almost impossible to format here :x

Pointless Question about Smash 4 .idsp by Kurausukun at 12:06 PM EST on December 14, 2014

This doesn't really mean anything, but I just was kind of curious if anyone knew how it worked--why are most of the streams in Smash 4 1Hz off from what you'd expect? 3DS at 19999 and Wii U at 47999 (except that some of them are randomly 20000/48000 for some reason). It just seems odd, and I was wondering if anyone knew why that is.

Cel Damage (GCN) Audio by puggsoy at 4:21 PM EST on December 16, 2014

The Gamecube version of the game Cel Damage has a file called talkToMe.dat that contains audio. I managed to extract the files from it, but I don't know what format they are.

I suspect that they're unheadered files of some format, because the PS2 version has a similar file with unheadered VAG files (after adding the header they can be decoded with vgmstream).

Here are some of the extracted files. If someone would be able to figure out their format I would appreciate it immensely.

Rabbids Go Home .sns by puggsoy at 5:56 PM EST on December 16, 2014

The game Rabbids Go Home has .sns files containing its audio. Once the first 32 bytes are removed the header looks extremely similar to the ones from Just Dance 3, which vgmstream can decode (relevant thread here).

If it would be possible to modify vgmstream to support these that would be really awesome. Here are some sample files.

Mario vs Donkey Kong (GBA): extract MIDIs from XM files by kapodamy at 7:42 AM EST on December 18, 2014

Is it possible make .xa loop? by Vittas at 8:21 AM EST on December 18, 2014

Or is that something that was handled by the games? I want to take, let's say the Klonoa music, and convert it into a whatever file that I can play on other devices, or maybe I just want to convert it to a lossless format, but I don't want just one loop. I want it to loop for X amount of time. Can I do that, or do I have to convert into Y format and then manually extend in Audacity? Actually, since XA is apparently lossy, should I convert it to something else? I've read it's not good to convert from lossy to lossless.

Correct timing of looped music by auri at 9:02 AM EST on January 7, 2015

Hey people, nice to be here!

TLDR:
How do you correctly time vgm that only exists in loops? Is there a standard like 2 repetitions and a 10 second fade-out?


LONGER VERSION:
I got into listening to lossless vgm a few days ago and am still blown away about the fact that I can listen to highest quality vgm from 1989 nintendo games. Thanks for all the work everyone of you puts into this!

I do not understand timing correctly. Is 2 loops the standard? Or if any number of times – wouldn't you want every track to at least play for a minute so it's not only a snippet? I found several timed USF and NSF files from games which had tracks playing for 1 minute, the next one for 8 minutes and so on. Is that because people strictly follow a scheme? Wouldn't you want the tracks to have roughly the same length like on a "normal" music album?

Thank you very much in advance for helping me with this. I am excited about having all the old soundtracks in FLAC now!

Mario Kart 8 Frontrunning Channels? by Kurausukun at 6:02 PM EST on January 10, 2015

So I was just curious about this, and I wondered if anyone else knew how it worked; in MK8, if you're well in first place, a little drum track is added to the song. In the original streams, it's its own little mono stream that the game turns on and off my question is this: if I simply downmix the streams in an audio program, the drum track is way too loud and overpowers the music, but ingame it sounds fine and more subdued. Is this just my ears playing tricks on me, or does the game itself alter the volume of the streams somehow?

Console Music History by Knurek at 3:40 AM EST on January 11, 2015

(thread starter shamelessly repurposed from pmh thread)

Well, Console Music History just went public beta.

So far there are two sets available for download, with new ones added every ~16 hours. For the next few weeks there should be only NES rips there, but once we reach end of 1983 (in about 8 games), Sega Game 1000 ones will start showing up too.

All sets will be fully timed, and when possible tagged as well - feel free to provide tagging data for those that aren't though.

Please make sure to share your thoughts or questions here - the site is still missing some functionality (like better integration with SNESMusic.org, RSS feed for updates/new sets, search function), but should be fully usable nevertheless.

(Have fun guys and a happy 2015)

Need some help with these CRIWARE Sofdec files by U10 at 10:44 AM EST on January 12, 2015

I know you guys mainly deal with audio formats and whatnot, but could any of you help extract some video streams from these odd CRIWARE Sofdec files:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/a4f01pv484qt02m/psoep1%262_sofdec.rar?dl=0

Taken from the Gamecube version of "Phantasy Star Online: Episode I & II", these specific, new (in comparison to the Sofdec files in the original Dreamcast version of PSO) videos, psogc_j.sfd and psogc_j2.sfd, don't seem to use a discernible MPEG stream for it's video part -- since they were unable to be demuxed or even played through an MPEG/Sofdec player of some sort. Believe me; I tried all there was, but to no avail.

Oddly enough, however, one of the new videos, the "animated" Normal Ending background (ending_normal.sfd), actually is a readable MPEG stream.

Basically, I would kindly please like for any of you guys to help examine these files for me, because I need their video streams for something I'm working on.

Help needed identifying/decoding Nintendo format similar to vox adpcm by sudofox at 8:01 PM EST on January 14, 2015

Hello,

I run a website called Sudomemo. You can post Flipnote animations from Flipnote Studio on there. Unfortunately, I can't decode the sound very well. The closest I can get is to convert it as VOX ADPCM. It's audible but horrifying.

www.sudomemo.net/watch/12199B_0E10629E9552B_028?audioon

Here is the raw bgm file for that: http://www.sudomemo.net/audio/12199B_0E10629E9552B_028.bgm.bin

The Flipnote format is designed for minimum filesize.

I would appreciate any help you can provide either identifying this format or finding a way to decode it. On the Nintendo DSi, it sounds amazing. As VOX ADPCM, it sounds horribly distorted and off-pitch.

Thanks! :)

I'd appreciate any help or tips on this stuff. I haven't really done anything with sound formats, so I'd be starting from scratch, but I'm eager to learn.

The only thing I think I know about this stuff is that these are in some sort of PCM format. I'll upload a sample later today.
