I've tried importing the ROM raw in Audacity, that just gives me some sound effects, and perhaps some instruments it seems like, not a stream of songs except the intro logos.
I've also tried to record the music using the emulator, but the game doesn't support disabling sound effects so I can't record a perfect song without sound effects ruining it.
There's also a specific song that plays at the end of the game which then cuts short and so I can't even fully record it.
The only thing left is somewhat debugging/hacking the game but I have no clue where to start. Is there anything else I can try which would be a bit easier to understand? I don't even know what kind of audio driver it's using to begin with unfortunately.
i'm trying to rip the entire sounds from the game, if it's not too much, could anyne please upload the game's .BFWAV files? i would really appreciate any help. thanks!
I've been looking for months now and i recently found out that the .BNK files could contain events.
Was wondering if the events could maybe hold the loop information?

Lastly here is the WEM file for the music itself.
I'm asking this because the same studio has made Princess Guide, also ripped and uploaded here. And while the Switch rip is nameless, PS4 rip has labels like BATTLE, TALK, etc. So I'm hoping it's the same with PPP.

Hope everyone's doing well :)
I have an obscure request, and this seems like a good forum for it.
The western game "Rise of the Dragon" on SEGA CD uses CD audio for a few tracks, but mostly BIN files as small, roughly MIDI sized music files for 95% of the game's music. The original DOS game used MIDI for music.
The game itself for the BGM sounds like it is playing some tracker format (whether MIDI or a converted form), and PCM samples are clearly used in playback, for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwoXu_8QQ_c&list=PLfd3SY7ln9aCZY40OXHjqMtb14OkBuXG1&index=11&t=0s
PCM drums ahoy!
Anyway, any help in converting this file format would be greatly appreciated.
A sample BIN file can be found here:
http://sierramusiccentral.com/Misc/RD03_MUS.zip
What I'm looking for is a rip of the sound test in Ultimate with the same ordering and exact same track length, fade-out, etc. Is that... possible? To rip it in such a way, that is?
Currently what I'm doing is taking a rip I found of all Smash Bros. music (it's one that was posted to Reddit, that's high-quality, remastered and all that). I've weeded out the tracks not in the Ultimate sound test, then put all 876 remaining in order. And now it's a grueling slog going into Audacity on each and every track to cut each one down to the exact length (I have to estimate to the nearest quarter of a second) and use the envelope feature to get the fade-outs just right. And that doesn't cover the handful of tracks where the game rip version is shorter than the sound test version!
Is there an easier way? Is it possible to rip these tracks in their sound test form with the lengths and fade-outs as they are in the sound test? Are there any alternative methods I haven't considered yet?

I know you already have a download for said game (for NDS), but I only request this because the WII version of M&M's Adventure has soundtrack I'm interested in hearing, so it's likely that a download of that version would have "ex-tractable" files for the games soundtrack.
If so, then is there any way I could extract those event cues into separate audio files?
So far, the only trace I could find of those music event cues for the different Manhunt 2 scenes are encrypted in their own files, all merged/mixed and rendered together.
But the question I'm wanting to ask is, how exactly do I make a .TXTH file for the .MIB file's
data?
But most notable of all, How exactly do I make .TXTH file formats at all?
i've tried thousands os programs but none of them worked, is there a way to open .PACK and .BARS files from Super Mario Maker (Wii U)?
as far as i know, opening it on the notepad gives all the .BARS files, but in text. does anyone know any method to decompress/extract these files?

You probably know that I normally use this
but this time it couldn't extract a single stream so I took my time to check out this & that just in case but still no dice.
Then I googled a bit, found this but decided it's not good enough + presumably obsolete; my 2nd find was RavioliGameTools v2.10 I heard so much about but never used myself.
Well both RExplorer.exe & RExtractor.exe did their jobs better (I got multiple folders named like english(us), french(france), sfx, etc. + files named like 10169832 or 1003257723) BUT for some reason all the files have size of 0 Bytes.
So are there any worthy means / alternative solutions I haven't tried yet? My question isn't entirely academic you know: I may use VGMToolbox to rip all WEMs from that damn PCK (amount of tracks is the same as when I use RavioliGameTools) and there's no XML with track names anyway BUT it also means I'll have to listen to those unneeded localized streams (for 4 languages in addition to English) & that trial I'd really like to avoid. Anyone able to give me a hand here?
Goodbye!
but apparently, the BgmData.bfsar and SeData.bfsar doesn't seem to work. VGMToolbox couldn't extract the .bfwavs and only got two .BFWARs that i don't know what to do.
for the .SARC and .SZS files, i used UWizard, again, with no sucess, i got some .BFGRPs that i also have no idea to how to work with them.
i would really appreciate some help, i really need those audio streams.
i know, there's a site that has all of the sound effects, but i wanted to extract them myself.
What's weird, is that I was using it just a few days ago and it was working A-OK. I didn't updated my OS or anything, all of the sudden it just stopped working. Tried the usual fixes (rebooting, running the program under various compatibility modes, running as administrator etc.) and they didn't work. Anyone has any idea how to fix it?
By the way, what's everyone using for the arcade soundtracks these days? BridgeM1 hasn't been updated in ages and Hoot seems to have issues playing quite a few of soundtracks, with many tracks playing faster/slower compared to BridgeM1.

When researching the files, it was found that these are 22khz stereo 16-bit Motorola PCM, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix the audio issues for proper playback. I have attached samples of the audio files if someone wants to assist me on figuring out how these files work.
i dumped odyssey after having downloaded a copy off joshw but this one song doesn't loop properly in either version so i wanted to know if there was some kinda fix for this because listening to it ingame it does loop properly
its name is StmRsBgmBossHaikai_B.bfstm (the octopus fight)
i'm not sure what to do, hence why i made an account. looping audio converter mentioned something like the 'index was outside the bounds of the array' too when splitting this song's channels up
i'm using foobar2000 and the latest vgmstream otherwise, i really want to be able to listen to it like ingame only for however long i want, most other odyssey bfstms function this way it's just this one that seems to abruptly end and it bothers me.
I'm asking for a guide or tips on how to create loopable music from .ogg files/rips.
I know the Metadata 'LOOP_START=' edit, but it's not a clean process - it adds/replaces data inside the file, and does not preserve original .ogg. GENH is too much, and I'm being told that TXTH is the way to go, but I did not find OGG format.
I tried codec = FFMPEG, channels = 2, sample_rate = 44100, loop_start_sample = <###>, num_samples = <###> or data_size, but the .logg.thtx file does not play.
If it's not much bother.
Thanks.
Has anyone managed to extract this SFX or others? I've been searching for hours looking under \romfs\Sound\Resource\ and haven't found a single SFX from this list: https://www.mariowiki.com/List_of_sound_effects_in_Super_Mario_Maker_2
Where are these SFX located on the filesystem?
so uh i was listening to Sonic Rush Adventure's rip of Big Swell, the final boss of that game and I researched for online versions and came across this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgmzk4MfoT0
They mention in the description that this version plays when you're not actually near the boss and that it's not in the sound test or any sound tracks.
So I fiddled with a rip of the song from a rom in vgmtrans to try and create a high quality rip, turns out it's just muting that one really frequently used high-pitched instrument in the song that would create the effect the game is producing with this song. Vgmtrans omits an instrument around the middle of the song, which i later found out was usage of the psg by another program that only semi-understood how it was meant to work, as it doesn't seem to be able to use it the same. I tried other programs, the psg either sounds off or it's not there.
I even looked up some tutorials other people were putting up on how you can alter the sequence file by changing it to a midi, deleting the track, turning it back into a sseq file, but all these omitted the psg instrument in the middle so that was fruitless.
I only have a temporary solution and that's one program called vg music studio could rip the song right from the SDAT and play it, and while the psg does play, it still sounds a little off. The song's name in the files in the correct sdat is SEQ_bossF.
i can provide a rip of the sound sdat from rush adventure if too confusing, but basically the songs get dynamically altered like how bfstms and the like have different channels they can phase in and out and it's not present in the rips i've seen and done thus far
and in talking about phasing in and out channels i wanna talk about another game on the DS that is practically unrelated in every way except that it similarly features these problems when listening to two tracks. Nintendogs, the bathing and walking themes
The bathing theme is dynamic because in-game when your dogs are really dirty they leave out this really dingy instrument that they slowly phase in as you clean the dog. Basically, there's no version of this song that i've ripped or seen anywhere that is aware of this dynamic.
and the walking theme as well. The rip that I've both done myself and seen on the site is stuck at the beginning part when you draw the line for your path, along with the fact no rip i've ever seen or done of the song omits the fast drums and/or the panting sample for the peeing/garbage respectively asociated with the walking game, nor has any rip ever really looped past the first part and onto the second part when you're actually walking where the song becomes far more cheerful and energetic.
in the rip on joshw, they're labelled as bgm 23 and 24, although my rip has them labelled as NTR-AD2E-USA-001b and NTR-AD2E-USA-001c
just want to account for dynamic tracks, if they were dynamic bf/r/cstms it would be simply using looping audio converter or txtps to choose channels but since it's on the primitive ds it's much harder
so yeah if such could be accounted for in the rips somehow that'd be appreciated
what also didn't help was i found a forum post from 2008 of someone claiming to want to isolate sound channels in the ds, and someone else's response was to use vio2sf in foobar to do it via the options, but no such option is present in foobar for the vio2sf plugin, just to allow songs to loop and the like, nothing about isolating channels or instruments.
so uh yeah sorry for the ramble but yeah if we could account for that like these songs here that'd be great.
I've posted the contents of the game in case anyone would be willing to look into this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)
The data seems to be stored in a weird file format appended with the extension, .fxp.
If anyone want's to take a look at it, the file is on my GDrive. (Link Below.)

I'm working on a tool to convert GT's seq files (SEQG magic) to MIDI. I've made little progress on the tool but as soon as it's ready I'll post the source on GitHub.
Right now I've only been able to convert the first track of spu_09.seq (from GT2)
Download test midi
(midi was reexported thru cakewalk to optimize it for now)
I'm still deciphering the commands/events of this format so it's far from finished.
Another note I'd like to add: on some other midis, like in the track "From the east" (aka east city) the drums are perfectly mapped to the Sound Canvas.

there is a youtube video where a guy extracted the .BFSEQ from the Menu theme and remixed the gamecube theme.
in the folder 10057000 there is two .Z files (sound.z and splash.z) and i think it can may be it. but neither WinRar or WinZip opens them. what should i do?
I think MarkGrass dealt with BOLT in Namco Museum here and here, it seems to be a general bigfile, not just audio. But the links to the extractor are down.
Here's the .adp files if anyone wants to take a look.
microsoft_xbox.bms
this was designed for Redump-made Xbox releases, which is as of now currently somewhat easy to find. as of right now though this can only extract "file entries" from the main directory(as in, the directory that this default.xbe file is in). the "directory entries" themselves though is in need of some serious help from an experienced quickBMS coder(yes even i need help that badly), as the directory parsing gets fine on the USA version of Fusion Frenzy but not on Halo Combat Evolved(there's a version of the game that contains various demos, and one of those demos seem to use as many folders as it can)...

Most notably the original beta theme for the main menu screen for Manhunt 2 Beta.
I know for certain that the 7z download of the NDS version of said game doesn't at all have the soundtrack music provided in the Wii version.
I want to create a TXTP, but I have not found the command for the solution to this problem:
1
I have two .FSB non-loopable samples (they do not contain loop info).
2
The first segment does not end properly (it has EXACTLY 1 second of silence at the end - 44100 samples literally!)
3
The second segment is perfectly loopable.
4
Both segments have the same num.channels.
I want to create a TXTP that takes the 1st segment ending before its last 1 sec, then go to 2nd segment and make this one loop.
Anybody know a workaround for this at all? It's a noobish, question I know - But I honestly would like to get this small patch out there.
I am extracting CMN.DAT from R-Type Tactics II, but it only comes out as .PHD, .MID and .PBD.
I checked inside vgmtoolbox official thread here, there is an PSF Packer, but no binaries and no tutorial for repacking .mid/.phd/.pbd.
Would anyone be so kind to help me?
Thank you again and again.

DKC3 GBA uses massive sample loops (almost 100!) to make up a majority of music just hacked up as instruments for some reason, very likely to save time or laziness.
This also means, in theory, you might be able to remake some tracks by matching the looping pattern samples sequences from scratch.
For the instruments that aren't sample loops, I tried to do looping myself to guess how it should sound (take note it's probably not 100% accurate).

It's probably not worth spending too much effort on, as we have the audio for the videos in all the console versions, but I figured I'd put the data up here in case someone wants to take a crack at it: JOHNNY_B.
Now the problem I'm faced with is that I'm wanting to open/mount the ISO disc image with WinCDEmu, like I'm wanting to rip it myself, but when I try to open it, I get an "Error" message saying "Unknown or corrupted file."
Any advise on how to fix this issue, or if I'm doing anything wrong?
Such a find had got me thinking, in TS:FP, there's this ambiance-like music heard at the very beginning of the story level, "What Lies Below"(In fact, there's also ambiance-like sound effects heard while playing through the previous level, "Mansion of Madness").
Any advice on how to convert .pak files into a playable format, perhaps any software that can convert said files.
Extracting the SFX with CPK was the easy part but I wasn't able to find the SFX and Ingame voice sound effects in the Sound effect CPK which is "002". The "002" only has the cut scene sound effects but nothing for the in game. I was wondering if I could have some help trying to locate those files.

If one needs I can upload the whole games data files.
The only thing I know of is it's easy to do something like this, but that requires interaction. Cookies have been https-only for a while (though CSRF is still possible). If anyone notices other possibilities, please do let me know. Otherwise I guess we'll see in January if they choose to disclose it then. If you're reading this, feel free to post it sooner.
As a general purpose mitigation I'm turning on Content-Security-Policy, an easy step that I've meant to do for a while. There isn't any reason to allow any kind of JS on here anyway. I'm restricting img src to https while at it, which will break some images. If anything else breaks, let me know.
This only helps with modern browsers, but I think that covers most of you. Ideally the whole mess would be rewritten, off the top of my head keeping HTML in the database was a bad decision, but I don't have the time or inclination to do that now.

Alright, so, it'll take a while but I'm going to try to make a general purpose ACNL soundfont.
I extracted every single sound from Animal Crossing New Leaf's bcsar file with VGMToolbox which gave me a lot of .bcwav files.
Going to try map each file (.bcwav) to what they actually are, probably in a .txt file so I can remember them (e.g. animal talking noises, letter sounds, typing sounds, item sounds, instruments)
(lmao this will take a lot of time though, since there are 3,279 bcwav files I have on hand)
Then I'll most likely try to make each instrument loop correctly. If anyone's interested, I'll try to keep this thread updated as I go along
I'm looking for the PSX vgm of "Peter Pan, Adventures in Neverland", if someone can help me extract them from the original files (ISO) I would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance
The game uses 2 banks (and I don't know what sequences use which banks) so you'll have to toy with it yourself. VGMtrans_WTL was used to export the sequences/soundbanks.

I'm super happy we now have the source audio files for Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The only thing that ruins it for me is the fact, like most Wwise games, the files themselves are a mess.
In bxaimc's rip, he also provided the banks that go with each level with which I thought I could at least group the files by level. However, these banks aren't the original containers for the audio like I thought and they have very small filesizes. But maybe these banks have the filenames that links to each level's music?
I tried to do some digging myself to no avail. Can someone assist?
P.S. I am not at all ungrateful for bxaimc providing the files themselves, I just hate the way Wwise handles filenames and want to clean them up in someway to make finding the songs I want easier.
I want to change the music in stardew valley for the switch and i know that all the sound files are in the wavebank.xmb. I could extract all the files with unxwb.exe and thanks vgmstream i know that these files are .dsp.

Simply run the exe and extract the 9 .adp files.
Any help would be super appreciated!
I know that the MUSIC.BIG files they have can't be played directly, but splitting the files with something like GAP will produce playable files renamed to .sng and such. The strange part however, is that a lot of the files won't output sound even though the file is playing. This only seems to happen in the latest vgmstream, as older versions (oldest one I have is r1050-739-g5b86339, from Nov 5 2017) can output the sound just fine. I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so does anyone know what's up?
