PI Relaunched (again) by PokeParadox at 5:15 PM EST on February 23, 2007

Hi guys. I'm trying a different approach with the site this time around; Bundling separate packages together... I'm pleased with the results. :)

In anycase the download links for my DSP file extracter has changed (hopefully for the last time...)
The new link is: http://www.projectinfinity.org.uk/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=23

I now have those googley bannery thingummies... so yeah click if you are bored or something.

IDA Pro 4.3.0.740a by ajstahl at 11:42 PM EST on March 5, 2007

I'm interested in ripping USF's and I read hcs's walkthru on how he ripped the USF from Killer Instinct Gold. I cannot find IDA430A.RAR anywhere on the Internet. Can anyone provide the file?

Hexen USF by ajstahl at 4:34 AM EST on March 6, 2007

I'm new to USF ripping. My main goal is to rip the music from Hexen. I've been following hcs's FAQ guide on ripping. When analyzing the save state, there is no name alSeqpSetSeq in the names list. In fact, none of the names have "seq" in them. Does this mean Hexen uses some wierd way of storing the music that is incompatible with USF?

Turok plays strangely in v1.2 beta 1 by blm07 at 2:59 PM EST on March 8, 2007

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Either I am going insane or something is wrong. I start to play any track and it plays the same beat over and over. Many of the tracks sound the same as well. I think the only one that plays right is "vs Campaigner". I'm using v1.2 beta 1

The Sequencing of USF by Mooshykris at 9:56 PM EDT on March 11, 2007

As we know USF files are sequenced, just like MIDI's are, which is why they are so small in size (I belive, anyway).

Anyways,

Is it possible to sequence your own USF style music from MIDI's.

Basiclly is there a way to convert MIDI sequencing to USF sequencing?

Thanks in advance,

Mooshykris

SPC Dumping by Samuel at 1:11 AM EDT on March 12, 2007

I've always wanted to know how people take an original SNES cartridge and dump the SPC files from it.
I did some googling and saw something about a device that plugs into your cartridge and to your PC. If so, where can I get one and is it hard to use?
Please let me know, thanks.

Wii (Elebits) Rip? by hufman at 10:22 PM EDT on March 18, 2007

Hello!
I was wondering about how easy it would be to rip the soundtrack from a Wii game, in particular Elebits. Since it is an early game in the Wii's lifecycle, I would think it would use a similar audio codec or middleware as the Gamecube. However, I could not merely insert the game disc into my computer and see files, however nice that would be.
Is there any chance of an easy Wii soundtrack rip? Or will I need to wait for a while first?
The main reason I am interested in it is because the official soundtrack has different music than what is in the game, and I'm hoping that by getting a Wii-format rip, I can enjoy all of the Elebits music. However, I will be patient if it is not available now.
Has anyone looked into the feasibility of a Wii rip?

new ADX format? by dag at 11:59 AM EDT on March 25, 2007

Hi, I've found a number of games unsupported by in_cube that use this new (alternate?) ADX format. The header seems identical but the id is 01F40480 instead of 01F40400/01F40300. If in_cube tries to play it (editing the header to 01F40400, normally it gives weird results) most of it is noise. However some files are actually closer to the original (still with noise), but foobar's plugin also gives different (noisier) results.

The games are mostly PS2 (Killet7, Okami, Raiden3...) and some XBOX360 (Senko no Ronde). So far no DC games use it and I don't think GC games do it either. I can upload some ADX files and PS2 IRXs/ELFs it it helps.

Checking the PS2 driver's strings, seems old and new versions (like Nov-2005 and even Jan-2004) can decode this format so maybe it's some kind of basic encryption rather than new encoding? Killer7 even uses both regular 0400 and new 0408 ADXs.

I've looked around and not even japanese programs support this, and I tried to contact with kode54 but got no response. Seems some other user already reported about Raiden 3 not working, but just in case...

Btw, I think I found one minor bug: if in_cube tries to play a "wrong"/corrupted file (say you rename a .txt to .adx), it skips it but doesn't "free" it, until you close Winamp you can't rename/delete/whatever the file. Winamp doesn't do this with other files.

Winamp's Advanced Title Formating by blm07 at 5:54 AM EDT on March 29, 2007

64th Note v1.2 beta 3 by hcs at 3:43 AM EDT on March 31, 2007

Here's a fresh build, it includes extended file info (for stuff like advanced title formatting and the media library) and multi-user support, added by dr0. It also is now built with Visual Studio 2005, as Josh figured out how to do correctly.
Reports indicate that this version is a lot faster and doesn't break anything. I'd like to have that verified.

I skipped clean over beta 2 since there were beta 2-ish builds around.

Resident Evil 4 / Biohazard 4 DSP Analysis by unknownfile at 11:57 AM EDT on April 7, 2007

I am doing research into the subject of the DSP format used in Biohazard 4 (or Resident Evil 4). Here is what I have so far. Nontechies may not look as this contains dreaded TECHNICAL INFORMATION.

RE4 DSP extract notes:

The "You Are Dead" stream starts at 0x60 in BIO4BGM.SBB. It apparenly has no header.
Checking BIO4STR.HED gives us some numbers, and what appear to be headers:

00000140 0000 0001 0004 3509 0004 CEE7 0000 7D00 ......5.......}.

00000190 FDB2 F857 F997 F8B8 FA49 F83C FA5A F903 ...W.....I.<.Z..

This header is pointed to by 0x00, which is part of a container. Pointers to the headers are thus:

00000000 0000 0110 0000 0190 0000 0210 0000 0290 ................
00000010 0000 0310 0000 0390 0000 0410 0000 0490 ................

So to determine the number of stremas, we count the words on the left and multiply them by 4.
There are 64 tracks -- there are 62 on the OST, but this doesn't matter and some tracks are
probably sequenced or streamed elsewhere.

Let's get to analysing the header:

0x0-0x3 dunno
0x4-0x7 not sure
0x8-0xB ditto
0xC-0xF sample rate (which is set to 32000 Hz in this sample)
0x10-0x13 not sure
0x14-0x17 not sure
0x18-0x1B duplicate of some information
the rest of the header looks like some sort of table

Let's compare this to hcs's analysis of the devkit dsp format.

0x00-0x03: number of samples
0x04-0x07: number of ADPCM nibbles (including frame headers)
0x08-0x0b: sample rate (Hz)
0x0c-0x0d: loop flag (1=looped, 0=not looped)
0x0e-0x0f: format (0 for ADPCM)
0x10-0x13: loop start offset
0x14-0x17: loop end offset
0x18-0x1b: ca (always zero)
0x1c-0x3b: decode coefficients
0x3c-0x3d: gain (zero)
0x3e-0x3f: initial predictor/scale
0x40-0x41: initial sample history 1
0x42-0x43: initial sample history 2
0x44-0x45: loop predictor/scale
0x46-0x47: loop sample history 1
0x48-0x49: loop sample history 2
0x4a-0x5f: padding

Let's take another look at the headers:

00000110 0000 0001 0004 3509 0004 CEE7 0000 7D00 ......5.......}.
00000120 0000 0002 0000 0002 0004 CEE6 0000 0000 ................

in_cube makes winamp ignore the rest of supported formats? by Ikkutebayo at 10:47 AM EDT on April 8, 2007

It's funny, every time I install in_cube, the rest of audio formats (mp3, wav, midi, etc...) won't show normally in the winamp window with types supported by in_cube (dps, acx, hps). I have to switch from "Sound types" to "All files" to actually see them.
It gets a bit annoying after a while... Is this a problem of mine or it's common?

Pokemon Box uses MIDI with a 'soundfont' by jurassicPieter at 4:12 AM EDT on April 9, 2007

I was just looking through all the cube iso's i have to see if I can extract music and well I already knew you can load the pcm files but they only contain instruments(load the PCM-files in goldwave RAW, signed, 16 bit, big endian mono). So let's look where the sequenced data is. By extracting se_ram.arc I found out the game uses plain midi(and I can just load the midi's in any player) and every midi has a wt-file next to it which probably contains pointers to the instruments in the pcm file.

Here an example of what I found in the rom
http://www.sendspace.com/file/7lql50

I know Pokemon Box is not the best 'game' to get teh music from but it's a start on playing sequenced data for the cube:P

Help ¿Compressed ADX? in PES6 by Lobo23 at 6:33 PM EDT on April 17, 2007

The problem is that We (Me and A LOT of people) want to edit audio files inside a .bin archive of the PES6 (PC). When scanning it with PSound I get 74 files wich I can listen, but I don´t get what format they are.
I want to edit some of this files and "re-insert" them into the .bin, to be able to insert .bin into the game´s AFS and hear sound´s i´ve inserted. (example: "unknow_06846.bin | 0030" is post sound when it´s hitted by the ball, and I want to edit that sound)
Here I uploaded the .bin file and an ADX file for you to compare (because I think the files inside .bin are ADX files too but compressed)

Download .bin and ADX


Your help would be MUCH appreciated

Loop control by blm07 at 5:05 PM EDT on April 18, 2007

I was thinking about this and just noticed that VGM had this, a option to loop the track as many times as you wanted to in the plugin's configuration.

It might be too late seeing how most tracks are tagged to repeat twice and it would be a huge job to redo them all.

YuGiOh The Falsebound kingdom problem by Lavis at 10:23 PM EDT on April 21, 2007

Hi

I'm having some problems trying to figure where or which are the music files.

I extracted everything with the GC_Tool, then i go to the Root folder and there are two folders with the names of "SD_INTR" and "SD_STRM". Inside of them i just find files with the extension .PAC, .MRG and GRP.

So, they are supported files? or maybe the music is packed inside the .PAC file?.

Dunno what to do here, im a n00b in this topic.

Help plz.

Playstation 2 ADP audio. by peenie at 11:21 PM EDT on April 24, 2007

Are PS2 ADP files not the same as the Gamecube ones? I'm having trouble finding info about them; I don't mind digging into the data if I can get a good starting point. in_cube does -not- play them, at least in_cube 0.23 with the PS2 REZ ADP files.

Edit: I'm staring at the ADP decoding code from in_cube. The ADP files I have start with the 4 bytes "STMP", which doesn't pass the first frame test. I tried finding possible starts for the first frame and decoding from those, but it still doesn't work, the "q" value that ends up being read (when it decodes the sample in decode.c) is rarely 1,2,3,4. I don't know enough about it to know what's different about these files though and why all the values seem wrong when they're decoded.

Mega Man Music Videos by marioman at 1:25 PM EDT on April 27, 2007

Here is something for you Mega Man fans out there. There has been an outbreak of fan videos involving dancing Mega Man characters. Strangely enough, the videos take opening sequences from Japanese TV shows for girls, and replace the main characters with Mega Man characters. They are a little cheesy, but they are good for a laugh.

Here are links to the videos, and links of side-by-side comparisons of the original opening sequences and the Mega Man fan video:

Mega Man Dances to the Theme of Hare Hare Yukai:

Original
Synched

Mega Man Dances to the Theme of Lucky Star:

Original
Synched

Also, VORC reports that there is a NSF of the Lucky Star Theme in the video is available for download. I think that the theme in the video sounds really good. The chorus sounds like it could come from a real Mega Man game.

The only problem is that I cannot get the NSF to play properly in any NSF player. If someone out there knows how to get it to play right, I would appreciate it if someone would let me know.

resampling on winamp by radornkeldam at 6:32 PM EDT on April 30, 2007

hi!

Having a cheap embedded ac97 "audio codec", n64's weird samplerates tend to sound really crappy on my PC. At first I thought it was a flaw in 64th note, but then I understood the problem, because loading a wave file recorded from a usf into a sound editor an resampling it to some standard rate (like 48000, native to most these ac97 chips) made all the shittines go away.
So there I went searching for some resampler for winamp, be it an output plugin or DSP.
Found some, yes, but none of them handled N64 crazy rates, not even with 64th Note's rounding function.

Does anyone know some resampler for winamp that can handle this, preferably without the rounding function?

Anyway, for those interested, I somewhat "fixed" this problem on at least one of my AC97 equipped PCs (or should I say, AC97 LIMITED).
I my main station, lowering the audio acceleration to "minimum" (I'm not sure what's this setting called in English editions of windows as I use a Spanish one, so this is just a likely translation), made the shitty sound go away. It didn't work on my laptop though. Try different settings and hope it works.

Question About ADPCM by MarkGrass at 11:16 PM EDT on April 30, 2007

Oldplay by PokeParadox at 4:07 PM EDT on May 2, 2007

Hey guys, just to let you know that (in part due to my own attempts to get in_cube play files on my GP2X) Micket has created an in_cube based plugin for Oldplay on GP2X.
It plays everything fine apart from ASTs, which pause periodically. It's great if you get a USB host battery powered HDD for your 2X :P

Anyone just to let anyone know that hadn't heard :)

Yoshi's Story - Set errors... by Zerodius at 10:31 PM EDT on May 3, 2007

I have downloaded the newest set and noticed a few errors and things to adjust... so, I'm going to list them:

-The current "Game Over" theme is actually just the second part of the Yoshi Killed theme ; it's played for the scene where a random Yoshi is brought to the castle. A different theme (which was removed from the set) is the true Game Over theme that play when the last Yoshi is brought to the castle.

-The unknown theme is a duplicate of the last boss intro theme.

-Don't know if that's because it's the track name... but "After the Credits" IS the credits theme.

-Although it might seem weird, the "Perfect" and "Incomplete" Melon Run clear fanfares are inverted. Yes, that IS weird but the less impressive one is the "Perfect" fanfare.

That's all the mistakes I noticed for now. Still, good job with the set.

Also, I would like to know if someone has made an USF of "Flying Dragon" yet, or if there's such a thing as a ripping tutorial.

Castlevania - errors and missing track by valiant at 8:21 PM EDT on May 6, 2007

I noticed some errors in the Castlevania set which makes it all so more strange that Parasyte released it as complete a few weeks ago.

05 - Intrusion ===== missing the strings
06 - Watchtower ==== missing instruments at 0:59-1:26
29 - Struggle 3 - Illusionary Dance === missing instrument from 0:12 to end
36 - Staff Roll ==== the PAL version of the game has the extended (and much better version) of this song that is also present on the soundtrack

Illusionary Dance was fixed in the Legacy of Darkness-set. Watchtower is "semi-fixed" as it is a different track now due to the added drum samples. Intrusion still has the same problems and the staff roll is still from the US version.

It would be great if someone could rip them using Parasyte's data.

Thanks for your previous help guys.

Ive followed the links and downloaded winamp, I downloaded WinRAR as i was told to and i went to this page http://hcs64.com/usf/#64th for the 64th note, tried all the files on the bottom of the page. The only one that did anything was the 1.1 installer, where it proceeds to install a plugin.

Is anyone going to rip the last Boktai game? by holyice7 at 9:20 PM EDT on May 23, 2007

I've been trying to figure out how to rip GSF's for quite a while now, and I've sort of given up out of lack of knowledge of programming, and an excess of frustration.

I've started tagging and timing the Banjo-Tooie USFs, but I'd still really like to have the Boktai 3 soundtrack. Does anyone have plans to rip that one?

Changing the Rockbox SPC player by Tanookirby at 6:59 PM EDT on May 24, 2007

I've been using Rockbox on my Ipod for quite some time, and what I like about it that it can play NSF and SPC files. However, the player on which the SPC player is based has several problems with it's sound (i.e. the SMB underground theme in Super Mario All-Stars is missing the echoes). Can the player be redesigned to be based on SNESAmp? That player plays SPC files much more accurately.

VGMTrans by GoronMoron at 7:48 PM EDT on May 27, 2007

I cannot get the newest release to work, and it's driving me crazy. Every time I try to open it, it tells me that the "application configuration is incorrect." Is there any place that I need to put the given DirectX file, since I have the newest version of DirectX on my computer? Or is it something else? I've tried everything, but I'm sure that part the problem lies between the screen and the chair. Despite this fact, I hope that you guys can help me.

Mario Party USFs crashing Winamp by P_L at 11:53 PM EDT on May 29, 2007

I downloaded all 3 N64 Mario Party USF sets yesterday (save for MP2, which I already had and moved to my larger hard drive) and they worked fine for me; then today I downloaded VGM soundtracks of a few old Sonic games and the Mario Party USFs promptly started to do nothing other than crash Winamp with a long string of error messages containing nothing but enormous gibberish number strings in them when I tried to play them. I'm using 64th Note v.1.1 final and they worked fine yesterday, so I know that's not it. I also tried deleting and re-downloading them to the same spot as well as a few others, and even tried the USF Central and Zophar's Domain links to see if perhaps the one I'd had was corrupted somehow and the other would work ... no such luck. The only things I changed today were the downloading of the Sonic soundtracks (as well as the moving of a couple sonic ones I'd had before to my bigger HD) and restarting the computer due to a (hopefully) unrelated problem (which, if it matters, was that MSN Messenger wouldn't sign in and when it did it wouldn't do anything). Any advice? :(

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I also installed the "in_vgm" Winamp plug-in to solve similar crashing problems with VGM files (they'd either play and never stop playing when I changed to another track or even closed Winamp or just not play at all) before the problems started.

Glover tag by ugetab at 8:32 PM EDT on May 30, 2007

I grabbed the glover set after watching the TAS of it, and recognized the 1 track listed as unknown.

It's from the cinema that happens after beating the final boss, which the game adds sfx to.

27 Unknown.miniusf > 27 Ending Cinema.miniusf, with tagging to match should suffice, if HCS feels like updating it.

A recommendation? by Samuel at 4:54 PM EDT on June 5, 2007

This site is really great and informative, but I think I have a recommendation that may help it...
They're many threads on this forum and sometimes I find myself searching for a topic similar or exact that would answer my question, instead of making a topic that would cause a duplicate. Making a duplicate may make some users here annoyed, because it's already been discussed and concluded.
My recommendation is: Maybe an administrator could create a search bar at the top or bottom of the forums, that way users could type in a specific word that would find topics that contain the answers they were looking for and if they weren't there, they could make a thread knowing it was okay.

However I can't find the music from "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron", which is maybe for me the most important among all N64 games musics... Do you know if somebody in the world has already converted the samples to USF files ? Is it actually available on Internet ?

I would ask too, if the same process does exist for Nintendo Gamecube games, Rayman 3 for exemple... Did you hear about this ?

Trying to play USF by AllenSword at 9:23 AM EDT on June 17, 2007

I downloaded the 64th Note plugin from Winamp and then tried running the MINIUSF files after I extracted them, but they wouldn't play. So later on, I came to this site and downloaded 1.2 beta 3 binary and did what it said in the forums for binary. So i tried it again and still nothing happens. Basically, the file name is on there but when I hit play, it stops immediately. The winamp program's still open, but the song won't play. I noticed someone said in the forums they were missing a file to play. It was in the Help on USF topic. If anyone can help me please.

GSF Sequencing by Mooshykris at 7:40 PM EDT on July 10, 2007

Hello again,

As before, I have another interesting question regarding PSF file formats.

I have been experimenting with a few trackers, and some MIDI conversion tools such as FruityLoops 6.

Recently a new thought came to me. About the possibility to convert MIDI to GSF or just plain sequence GSF files.

In the case of MIDI to GSF, a way to create a .gsflib file to store GSF instrument samples in, then turn the MIDI files into GSF files, allowing the notes to play through the Library file.

I am wondering this, because I would like to somehow use GSF Instruments, instead of General MIDI instruments.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks is Advance,

Mooshykris

NEZPlug assistance? by P_L at 11:56 PM EDT on July 12, 2007

I've recently installed NEZPlug as a replacement GBS plug-in for Winamp after discovering that Meridian was apparently incompatible with a lot of GBSs that I wanted to play. NEZPlug's sound is undeniably better than Meridian's, but ... skipping between tracks is tedious as I have to skip the seek bar to the end of the song to get to the next song (which eliminates being able to skip backwards and makes getting to any particular song in the set, especially farther in, a royal pain), and there appears to be no way to mute channels. Choosing to "configure the plug-in" on the Winamp preferences menu brings up a TXT file that appears to be just automatic timing information (which is odd, because the TXT says to make all songs loop twice with a 5-second fade and to set the default song length to 3:00, but Winamp always, ALWAYS makes every song exactly 5:05 long ...) and contains no way to manipulate channels or anything (I'd guess this is normal, just mentioned it incase it's not). Can anyone give a NEZPlug newbie some advice?

Luigi\'s Mansion Encyrpted? by Zeek at 4:10 PM EDT on August 1, 2007

Before I begin, I must say I love your in_cube plugin. I use it constantly when ripping GC games and finding the soundtracks (and finding some beta songs on games :P).

Anyway, I've been wanting to get in on the LM soundtrack, but the only ones on the disc playable by your in_cube plugin are the two *.afc ones. There are other files in the audio directory in the form of *.aw files, which I'm guessing are archives. Are there any way these can be unlocked to gain access to the rest of the tracks? I know that sometime ago on here there was a topic concerning this and someone had one of these archives running (provided a download link) but they were corrupt, though Luigi's yells could be faintly heard (I don't recall the person who did it and I can't seem to find the topic again).

I hoping that these will be unencrypted at some point. I lack any tech/coding knowledge, so I can't really try myself.

(Should've noted the files I'm maily talking about are in the AudioRes/Banks directory)

One Final PSF Question by Mooshykris at 9:19 PM EDT on August 9, 2007

Okay, I have learned much on working with sound files and converting them, and even into actully sequencing MOD class files.

Now my final question is this:

I came here in the first place to learn about PSF formats because of my own work of remaking MIDI files into MP3 (at first) quality music in FruityLoops.

I have learned how to redo, convert, and compress the files. Finally compressing the MP3s in looping MO3 files.

Now, to get to the point:

I was interested in experimenting to compress even further, so I began to wonder if I could do with the MIDIs, the same thing that is done with PSF files: Creating a library file of the VST plugins used to transform the MIDIs, and have the MIDIs play through that library, instead of using the normal MIDI engine.

That would create an almost PSF quality compression.


Thanks in advance,

Mooshykris

baten kaitos music by phanoo at 5:43 AM EDT on August 12, 2007

hi everybody
(sorry for my bad english I hope you will understand me...)

I actually try to get the musics from baten kaitos.

I've downloaded the ISO then extracted it, it's not very easy to work on this game because there is no folder, and the files haven't a real name (FILE_60002C0E, FILE_60002C8E...)

But I think i've found the music files, they are from FILE_70004F8A to FILE_70004FBA.
They start with the tag "CAF" (the 3 first bytes of these files). There are quite big, about 4Mb.

I've found another type of sound archive with the tag "CSL", they are lighter and seems to contain the voices.

More interesting: I've opened the music files with an audio editor, as PCM, and I can hear some music but VERY VERY scrambled, with a lot of background noise. It seems to be a sort of streamed music but divided into many parts (I looked in these files and I see many times the CAF string, separated with a lot of empty bytes).
Is the main music cutted into several parts?
or there is a part for each intrument? (one for the drums, one for the bass...)

I don't know a lot of things about GC music, but is it possible that the CAF archives are SSM files? I tried to use ssmex.exe to unpack them but it don't works, i tried also to read this as an ADPCM stream with cube2wav but it give only a noisy .wav file.

help please!^^

Problem with Shin-chan GSF by agu fungus at 5:00 PM EDT on August 14, 2007

Twilight Princess: Disable sound effects for complete OST rip? by valiant at 12:12 PM EDT on October 15, 2007

Hey hcs, I think I need some input on that.
I'm trying to do a complete rip of the Twilight Princess music at the moment.

For previous recordings, I used the Action replay mute codes from Twilight Spectre (GCN Hacker87) to disable the sound effects. Unfortunately, they don't work as well as they should. They take effect only after entering a menu and sounds coming from enemies/Epona/etc. aren't affected by the codes at all.
I've managed to record quite a few of the tracks, but I guess I've met my limits with that trick now.

Since I'm returning to ripping tracks again, I've been thinking of other methods. So I first tried to swap the BMS files in "Z2SoundSeqs.arc" manually, through a hex editor. I yaz0-decompressed the archive, then tried to swap the file names in the archive with a hex editor, then yaz0-encoded it back and replaced the old archive on the ISO. Unfortunately it didn't work (the same track was still loaded, although the file names were swapped).

I then tried to look at the RARC specification to figure out how to swap the BMS files but haven't gotten into it since it's very time consuming to swap files manually.

A third possibility was disabling the sound effect archives, which are "Audiores/Waves/Z2SeWave_X.aw", but replacing those files or simply renaming them locked the game up.

So my question is:
1. Can you tell me in which AW files the sound effects are and what I have to do in order to mute them (I thought you checked some of the files since you've been working on the AW format a little, lately)?
OR
2. Could you provide a simple RARC file exchanger to swap the individual BMS files in the archive? The plan is to make... let's say "Lake Hylia.bms" play in place of "Shop.bms" because in shops, no sound effects are played.

I think it'd be for the collective good. I've used the file swap method before to make a complete rip of the Resident Evil remake and it worked like a charm. But this one is a lot harder to pull off, help is very much appreciated!

San Francisco Rush 2049 tags by AENIGMA at 11:50 AM EST on November 10, 2007

Here are the tags for San Francisco Rush 2049. Each song looped twice.

The songs listed below have a "blank spot" (about 0.018 in length) at the beginning of each track. I'm not sure what's causing it:
02 - Garage
04 - Trancey
05 - Seventies
08 - Retro
09 - Stunted
10 - Flier


Here's an image showing the "blank spot". It can be fixed by just deleting the blank section, if you export the song as a WAV.
