If only we had the rest. I know people who would pay xxxx $ for the rest of this info.

Those songs were not in the USF set. Think there's any chance to rip them?
Let me know if things are broken. I intentionally didn't transfer absolutely everything, but if there are things missing that you would like let me know. Anyone I've given web space to, I transferred almost none of it, so contact me if you still want it.
Oh, and as I've paid up Servage for a few more months, I'm planning to grant access to all the bonus stuff I had hosted over there, as it shouldn't matter if I use up all my bandwidth.

Castlevania [64] USF
Legacy of Darkness USF
Those two are self-explanatory. I included all the tracks that were ripped in the LoD set, but I didn't number the ones that weren't specifically in the new quest.
If doing that wasn't enough, I also put BOTH sets into one file, and organized them accordingly.

Upload whichever way you like, but everything as far as names, times, and organization should be correct now. I can't account for tracks that need to be re-ripped.

I've been researching Mario64's sequenced music format. It doesn't use MIDI or the 'compact' sequence format found in other N64 games, but rather some custom format.
This is so far what I have discovered:
My very incomplete specs
I created a simple parser tool to help me, you can download it along with ripped 'sequences' (the .m64 files) in this folder.
Depending on the track, it can output a fairly good result, but there are many details I'm still mising. Here are some practical examples of music modification in SM64:
"Flag" theme from SMB1
Super Mario Bros "water" theme
So, if anyone feels like helping, just drop a message :).

There are a few that don't sound right, because they are missing instruments. If you switch sha_t00.ssflib and sha_t01.ssflib around (Rename 00 to 01 and 01 to 00) and then listen to the battle all the sounds are there, albeit a piano, but its still there nevertheless. This works for all the ones that are wrong... Is it a case of missing instruments in the 00 file or an emulation bug? I'm just interested to know.
P.S. Desire Mine actually sounds quite nice in just a piano.

Along with a plugin for Winamp that would allow those files to be played, but both links have since gone down. Is there any chance that those could perhaps be re-uploaded, or a different tool to extract single files from Wii .FSB files be provided? Thanks in advance any and all help provided.
Winamp version: 5.541
64th Note version: 1.1 FINAL
USF archives tried:
Banjo-Kazzoie
Banjo-Tooie
Star Fox 64
Rayman 2
My other USF files work just not these. :/
So I dumped Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts using the Xbox Backup Creator. The majority of the filenames though have no file extension. Examples are "Bundle/4f/234cec" and "Bundle/4f/400edc". Are these archives of a special Xbox 360 Xbox format, partitions of archives, or individual files that can be given file extensions?
There is a "Debug/db_index.txt" which has a list of lines such as "aid_streambundle_banjox_showdowntown_morning 1222141512 281.410" and "aid_streambundle_banjox_showdowntown_night 1222141512 281.410".
There are many other files in the Debug folder such as "Debug\11\00\21\6a" (no file extensions)
There is a "default.xex" file at the root.
Lets you load up the USF data for the US Kirby 64 game in NEmu64 0.8(by way of USFLib decompression, PJ64->NEmu64 conversion, and replacement over a Kirby64 title screen save-state). Also comes with some simple notes to let you test other music by using the debugger.
http://www.angelfire.com/nc/ugetab/Kirby64CrystalShards_NEmu_USF.zip
I'll very likely continue to try to make the program function effectively, if I can figure out a little Kirby64 glut coding for the effort.
It's a simple dialog box which allows the user to add a PSF-style tag to the end of any file. It writes the tag, then the tag's offset in the file, the tag's length, and finally "[VGMTAG]" as a footer, so the tag's presence is known without interfering with the stream's own header or content.
Tag reading code is also included in such that any tag present is read when a file is loaded in order to populate the fields in the dialog.
Download it here.
As I said in another thread: If anyone wants to modify this and make it into a VGMStream patch, be my guest. I just figured this "release" (if it could even be called that) would serve to aid those who want it and might get the inspiration ball rolling for something better.

Does anyone know if this soundtrack has been ripped to GBS at all, because I can't find it anywhere,
Many Thanks,
Elven Spellmaker
Enjoy the resulting 20MB USF file.
(You wanna optimize it, go ahead. The PJ64 rewrite was the show stopper. Everything else was pretty easy to grasp)
I'll probably just stick with GBS files. I can actually handle a little reprogramming with those.

The MAME core is not being used anymore, so I am instead focusing on the essential bits of the emulator instead (ie, sound / cpu) whereas timing and other crap will be handled by original code. The reason for this is because the MAME developers have this habit of releasing major changes every so often that make the source incompatible over and over again. That, and certain compilers don't take too kindly to the source code (MSVC in particular).
Here are some notes on the SDK. This is all you'll be getting of the project if your name is not anewuser and you do not have a presence on IRC.

Its a MIDI sequencer, and I have the working version 4.0.0.
I have tried to compile the non stock version of wxwidgets, and that apparently worked, both the debug and the release. Then it asks me to conpile tex2rtf, because the application relies on it. I try to do what it says and the compiler throws errors. I have installed the Platform SDK and copied the bin, include and the lib files over the top of VC++'s default files. This allowed the first builds I mentioned to work. So I am stuck now.
I added the environment variable as they said. (Thats for later, but I tried compiling the application wihtout the tex2rtf and suprise suprise, it didn't work.)
http://jazzplusplus.sourceforge.net/buildingwx/
and
http://jazzplusplus.sourceforge.net/buildingjazz/
If you manage to build the debug and release wxWidgets and the release tex2rtf, you will need the application which is here
Jazz++ Source code
You will also as mentioned, need to add an environment variable in order to build the program.
This isn't a high priority thing and its quite off topic for the forum (Sorry =/), but I know you all are quite experienced with C++ and may have a solution to this, the program is only minimal functionality, but as I said it would be nice to see if there is anything different to the MIDI editor version I currently have, and this build process seems to me, to be impossible.

Okay, to begin with I thought .RSEQ was a whole new format. It's not. To put it simply, RSEQ is basically SSEQ with a few modifications. Information on SSEQ can be found here, and I shall just report the differences :).
The first difference is obviously, the header. It's 'RSEQ' instead of 'SSEQ'. There is also now a mysterious gap of 16 bytes in between the main header and the 'DATA' header which has to be looked into =P. But after that gap, it's pretty similar to a SSEQ. Other differences:
Track Pointers - Where as SSEQs track pointers start with 0x93 with 4 extra bytes, RSEQs are now 0x88 with the same extra 4 bytes.
There is also a new header called 'LABL', not sure what this is for... But what I'm trying to say is... Eventually.. I'm sure someone with some knowledge of code could modify, maybe sseq2mid and utilities like that (as they include source), to work with Wii RSEQs.
I've tried changing the main header to SSEQ, and getting rid of the extra bit before the DATA header, changing all the track pointer's '88's to '93's like in SSEQ.. Then deleted the LABL data at the bottom to make it pretty much identical to a SSEQ.. But SSEQ2MID still doesn't like it :/.
I think I know why now... The track pointers aren't pointing to the right tracks, because I deleted that extra bit before the 'DATA' heading. I just need to know how to point them to the right places, and we should be able to do something with them :).

To start, i'd like to say Duracell.
Firstly I would like to ask, is 2sf a sequenced format or is it streamed? Because the files come from the SDAT, which is sequenced (VGMTrans opens the ROM fine).
Secondly (I know I keep going on about this), but, why if Mario Kart DS is read by VGMTrans and Pokémon Diamond is read by VGMTrans, is it not possible to do a 2sf rip of Pokémon Diamond? Surely the person who wrote VGMTrans had to somehow decode the custom header and driver it has?
Or is it that no-one knows who actually wrote VGMTrans?
Or is it something completely different alltogether?
I'm just interested to know as if one program can open them both, I don't see why a 2sf rip can't be made, but I might have something completely wrong.
Thanks

Sorry, I know it's kinda random.

If you're sensible and have an antivirus with up to date bases you should be okay (though I'd do a thorough check just to be on a safe site).
If not, or god forbid you still use IE, I'm sorry to say but most probably your system is infected. Do a web antivirus scan (there's some free ones available, Kaspersky for instance) ASAP.

I know an ADX\OGG archive can be found on the PS2\PC version(s), but there are several GameCube discs I would like to rip the audio from...
EXTRACT DRS:
Bio4FAT pl00.drs -f
EXTRACT DSP:
Bio4FAT pl00.snd -s1
Data is ripped 'in order' from the input file like so:
<INPUT> <OUTPUT>
[SAMPLE RATE] 0x00 2 Bytes
[COEFF_DATA] 0x02 46 Bytes
[UNKNOWN] 0x30 24 Bytes
[PADDING] 0x48 8 Bytes
[ADPCM] 0x50
BioHazard 4 File Archive Tool (preliminary)
pl00.snd DSP output
Also, are all USF, SPC, and GSF length tags found manually? If there isn't a wave stream program, is there at least a tool that can find the loop point for any of these formats?
Other than that, with the right settings, XMPlay rocks.
Oh, and I can never get ASIO4ALL v2 to work for "bit perfect" playback without a ton of crackles. But that's another issue entirely.
__ begin 2sf_spec_revision.txt __
2SF specification revision as of 01/09/2009
written by unknownfile, 2009
part of the 2sf overhaul project
This file was written to address some long-overdue changes to the 2SF specification.
Sorry this came so late, but it's kind of hard to do when people go off and make a billion
rips while you're still trying to sort some issues out with the format.
Changes in brief:
a. Removed Desmume savestates from the specification altogether due to possible incompatibility
issues.
b. Defined "NEW2SF!" header in reserved section.
c. Created a custom savestate format for legacy rips.
d. Removed _frames tag as it is no longer needed.
Part A. Desmume savestates are no longer valid.
Savestates in the Desmume format are no longer valid due to possible revisions in Desmume
rendering certain savestates invalid. This is also to leave room for possible support across
multiple emulators.
Part B. NEW2SF!
All 2sf files ripped after this format revision must contain the following 8-byte string
to differentiate them from old-format 2sfs.
'N', 'E', 'W', '2', 'S', 'F', '!', 0
Part C. The 2sf savestate format.
This is a custom savestate format used on rips that require them.
The header goes something like:
4 bytes '2', 'S', 'A', 'V'
4 bytes unsigned int size
The savestate is stored sparsely using the following command:
4 bytes 'C', H', 'N', 'K'
1 byte address map to write this data to (0 = ARM9, 1 = ARM7)
4 bytes size
xx bytes data
At the end of every savestate is a 3 byte string, "EOF". This should be checked when the save
is initially loaded. If EOF is not at the end of a savestate it can be considered invalid.
Part D. Removed _frames tag.
This is a needless hack that was used in early rips so that they would work in Highly Whatever.
Now that vio2sf can handle these rips without using the _frames tag, it is no longer supported.
__ end 2sf_spec_revision.txt __
Here are issues we discovered with Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Not sure how the issues vary from game to game.
Winamp - 64th Note v1.2 beta 3
-tempo is slower; length of song is approximately 105% for OoT compared to OST
-dynamic tracks are different from foobar (such as Hyrule Field Main Theme)
foobar - 64th Note v1.2 (April 10 2008)
-tempo is slower; length of song is approximately 101% for OoT compared to OST
-stereo channels are swapped
-dynamic tracks are different from Winamp (such as Hyrule Field Main Theme)
-volume difference from Winamp - as one example, Termina Field peaks at a slightly higher volume
Questions:
1. What other differences have people noticed between plugins?
2. What other differences are there compared to actual N64 hardware?
3. Have some of the sound issues been fixed in Project64?
4. Josh W., is the latest version a port of Beta 3, or some other version? Do you have any idea why there are differences?
5. hcs, any idea on how to make the tempo more accurate?
edited 5:37 AM EST January 10, 2009
So i'll just go ahead and request. Is there any way to extract the music specifically? I understand there's a way to record it with hardware straight from a tv without sounds overlaying and such like some Twilight Princess rips, but it's difficult when in-game a player has to float at a specific distance without the ship disappearing and the music halting abruptly.
Thanx!
Now I need to extract audio.rez.
edited 12:18 PM EST January 14, 2009
If anyone knows these music files' download address,please post a link for me. thanks!!!
It seems there are three slightly different versions of the format, one for each last-gen console. I uploaded an archive with the NGC, PS2 and Xbox versions of the same track.
The PS2 MUSX is already supported, but the other two won't play. I'm only interested in the Xbox version as it seems to have a better quality than the other two files (higher sampling rate maybe?). Would be nice to see it supported in a future revision if it doesn't differ too much from the PS2 MUSX.
edited 2:14 PM EST January 15, 2009
Thanks.
I can rule out the following:
void StartAiInterrupt(void) {
// delay calculation from PJ64 v1.7
const float VSyncTiming = 789000.0f;
double BytesPerSecond = 48681812.0 / (AI_DACRATE_REG + 1) * 4;
double CountsPerSecond = (double)(((double)VSyncTiming) * (double)60.0);
(Still the same in 1.7.55, it seems)
04500010 - The pitch would be different
I have been wondering this for a long while, and any answers or explaining would be great!
Is it the way its ripped? Example Diagram Below:
MIDI Format --> Sound Card (Wii) --> Streamed...
If its like the diagram above, you are ripping directly after the Sound Card has processed it. If thats the case, it is possible to get at the MIDI format files, like VGMTrans does with D.S. Music?
Or are they pre-rendered (as such), and then stored on the Wii discs as streams from the start? (Shown below)
At Nintendo:
MIDI Format --> Sound Card (External) --> Streamed Format
then,
Streamed Format --> Sound Card (Wii) --> Streamed...
Obviously this doesn't apply to orchestrated files. (Example, Gust Garden Galaxy [Super Mario Galaxy])
Here's Title index:
0000 - Missing, but supposed to be 'Feena'.
0001 - Fountain of Love
0002 - The Syonin

I need to read RWAV files from BRSAR archive extracted with ripping_mama.

Please, can you give me a link to download a version that plays RWAV ?

Is there any hope for getting Pokémon Colosseum (GameCube) supported in vgmstream?
There is a "snd_music.samp" (the soundfont) and a "bgm_archive.fsys" archive with 78 LZSS compressed files in it. Those have been decompressed back in 2006. But that's about where discussion stopped.
So... Any hope for this? :)
Willing to donate a few bucks, too.
PS: By the way, there are a few Pokémon Colosseum songs in Pokémon XD (which is supported by vgmstream). They actually sound the same. But I was not able to compare the files if parts of them look the same. Maybe they are, maybe not.

The first pertains to the Banjo-Kazooie set. I'm wondering if it's at all possible to get USF's of the sound effects, particularly the different versions of Grunty's laughter, and Banjo and Kazooie's various sounds, and if so, if anyone would mind getting it for me.
The second bit is a PSF2 request, for Lupin III: Treasure of the Sorcerer King. I've been meaning to look into the process of actually learning to do this myself, but I just can't find the time to study it, seeing as I know nothing about what base skill set I'd need to know to start.
So, if there isn't already a PSF2 for Lupin III, what data can I get off my game disc that would be needed?
Can it be possible to convert a usflib/gsflib to a soundfont (.sf2/.dls) to play selfmade midis with it?
It would be very cool to create additional music...
PSF Tagging Tool
So I've been working on tagging some 2sf sets with some people, and wanted to include some additional information than the current tag implementation. Instead of just throwing the information in the comment= tag, I decided it would be better to make new tags, in case a future vio2sf chooses to support them. Even if none of
them are ever supported, it's still a way to better organize the extra information I want to include in the Comments field.
For example, FLAC has ORIGALBUM and ORIGYEAR to give users insight on songs that are part of a compilation. It's always interesting to me where a song originally came from in games as well. This would be particularly important if there ever was a Smash Bros. released for the Nintendo DS.
Here are the tags I'm using, I tried to make them mimic other common tag syntax that I know of:
ORIGGAME= the game that the song first appeared in
ORIGTITLE = the title of the song in the game that it premiered in
ORIGYEAR = the year that the song first existed
TITLEJP2EN = the song title when translated to English from the original Japanese, as a way to supplement the localized titles I use (important for people like Prime Blue who prefer the Japanese character and place names)
ID= the original filename of the ripped mini2sf file before it's changed to the tagged track number and title.
Questions for whoever can answer:
1. Does anybody have any other tags they would like to see?
2. Does anybody have better ideas for a more standardized way to label the tags listed?
3. Is there a way to copy and paste Japanese characters from VGMdb into a Winamp field?
4. What exactly is the hexadecimal at the end of the mini2sf filename a reference to?
5. If somebody else ripped the same DS game, would the hexadecimal be consistent?
6. How are 2sflib filenames determined?
7. Would people consider the hexadecimal ID redundant with the code included in the mini2sf file, or would it somehow be nice to have if it's not in the filename?
8. How long can a post be edited before it's locked? HCS, could you make it to where a post doesn't have a limited time before it can no longer be edited?

I made some inspections on the AAX audio format. In my case in Sonic Unleashed Xbox 360 version there are many CSB/CBK audio files where the Wii version used either ADX or AIX.
The CSB and CBK files extracted fine using hcs' CSB and CBK tools.. the AAX files so far do not seem playable using Winamp and vgmstream:
However, I found a way: if you try to open an AAX file with UTF_View it shows data segments in them (normally two), called AAX[0], AAX[1] and on-going.
Then it fails with an error message: not a @UTF table at [insert address] here... well, I took the contents of that area and saw: ADX header?
Well I simply extracted the area mentioned by UTF_View.exe and it is a simple ADX file. I have written a mini Delphi based unpacker (CSB/CBK/AAX to ADX) however, as it internally uses CSB_unpack/CBK_unpack/UTF_View it is quite large and I guess it could also work by directly incluing the AAX->ADX converters in to CSB_unpack/CBK_unpack.
Cheers,

Turns out the 360 version uses AAX, and from what I can see, it's all been ripped, but not tagged or renamed yet. If someone could host the rip, let me know.
In Awave Studio, I used the Hz setting 12000 and hear alittle bit of the music and ALOT of static.....
All the songs are in that file, I just can't seem to find a way to get rid of the static!
Is there a program for these types of files?
EDIT: I could upload the file for anyone?

Can anyone tell me step-by-step on how to extract, loop and fade GSF files?

discuss
1) Has anybody been able to rip music from the Wii channel songs that can be saved to Flash card?
2) Has anybody been able to directly rip music from firmware channels such as the Mii Channel?
3) Does anybody have a .brsar of Wii Fit, and can anything be extracted from it?
4) If I have a .wad of a WiiWare channel, what's the general method for extracting the music?
5) I've only been able to rip the pong hockey music from Wii Play. If anybody has been able to rip any more, please tell me.
On a somewhat related note, for the Wii songs that can not be ripped, I'm wondering what the best recording settings would be. Even though first-party Nintendo game streams are generally 32 kHz, I wonder if the samples are at a higher rate.
6) Is there a way to tell the sample rate of songs that are sequenced?
7) Are there any games that use an audio sample size greater than 16-bit?

I am currently unable to upload (maxed out my connection) so I am unable to give an example, however if you load a track from the Super Mario 64 usflib, and output it as 32000hz, and then at 44100hz, you'll notice the second is distorted slightly. This is only for the keen ears though.
Would anyone be able to upload the music files from Guitar Hero: World Tour for me to download (please, a direct link - p2p doesnt seem to work).
Thanks
Has anyone attempted to get music from these two games yet?
The Crystal Of Kings
Purikura Daisakusen(http://vgmdb.net/album/3321)
I've looked into many Arcade Sound Emulators and saw that these weren't available in them.
Can anyone help?
I'm trying to access a website but I do not understand Chinese characters. Can someone translate this for me:
I couldn't translate this myself because of the way that the window was coded to appear. Sorry again if this is out of place, delete it immediately if you (the admin) see fit. :-)

Can anyone explain to me which MIDI commands get counted as quarter notes? I had pondered counting Note On events, but what about times where there is silence? Thanks in advance.

2. I have figured out the Rush 2 Unknown USF files, they are used in the game like this:
Unknown sparse05 = Finished Circuit in 4th or lower.
Unknown sparse06 = Finished Circuit in 3rd or higher.
I have been generally leeching off the game soundtrack communities for a number of years now and figure it's time to give back a little as I've collected a few soundtracks in my time (most ripped manually). If anyone is interested, peruse this list, it contains all the collections I have that suit the tracker (ie unaltered gamerips).
I have tonnes more stuff, most of which has been converted to mp3 or XviD (all files on my harddrive remian in my playlist so need to be handled by Winamp) which can't be shared here. Oh well :)
So shout out any requests you have on the list and I'll create a torrent and get the mods to up it.
I'm new to C/C++. The only experience I have is Java. I thought it a grand idea to try to build in_gsf with updated components from VBA-M.
Could this work? I understand it would take some work, but in_gsf as it stands now isn't very good. Suggestions?
EDIT: I'm trying to build in_gsf as it is first. :P

I'm asking because there were more songs in the Arcade version of this.
edited 9:05 PM EST February 28, 2009
Here's a link to one of the songs as an example. VGMStream doesn't even pick it up as one of it's own files, giving no time, no file info, nothing.

I'm trying to play back this GBS rip, which seems to be the only one available out there for Volley Fire, or at least I stumble upon the very same file everywhere.
The problem is it doesn't seem to play right in any player I have tried.
The only one that makes it sound right (the rest make it sound like garbage, literally) is Nezplug++ for winamp, and even with that, for each song, when it reaches a certain point, it stops on a note and holds it down forever.
Anyone know of a player that will play this correctly, or have an alternative rip?
What tools exist to accomplish such things?
Here's one of the files: http://www.mediafire.com/?muzjjecy5tu

Thanks to the amazing work of UNKNOWNFILE (2SF format design), CaitSith2 (No Brain 2SF ripkit), snakemeat (awesome tools that make our life easier), hcs et al (VGMStream, streamed formats reverse engineering) and Mysterious Plugin Guy (vio2SF plugin suite), you can enjoy the music from Nintendo DS games(*1) at your leisure.
Enter Manly! Archive Gorgeous Milk +α, a community driven archive of everything(*2) related to Nintendo DS music.
Site can be found here: Manly! Archive Gorgeous Milk +α (*3)
Rip progress available here: Current Rip Status, updated daily
Grand opening of the site will let you experience music from about 60 games, with more to come in the near future.
So get started, grab some sets you find attractive, software for playing them and have a blast.
FAQ:
Q: How do I use these files?
A: Windows: 2SF/mini2SF files can be played by vio2SF plugin suite, current version as of this writing is 0.17, streamed files (STRM, ADX, various other extensions, generally large files) are handled by VGMStream, there are few other games using widely supported formats (Microsoft WAVE, Protracked Modules), which should be supported out of the box by most players out there.
Linux: I have no way of checking that, but Audacious is said to support both 2SF and VGMStream (and loads of other formats too).
Mac: No idea actually, I hope someone using one can provide some info.
Q: Help, there's no music playing!
A: When extracting vio2SF, make sure you extract both the actual plugin and vio2sf.bin file into the plugins subfolder. Another thing to note is that the mini2SF files require the included 2SFlib file for playback. If you have only problems with stream formats, make sure to read VGMStream readme for needed actions.
Q: Any way to play those on a real DS?
A: For 2SF files, it's possible, but there's no easy, automated way to do it currently. Streamed formats are not possible yet.
Q: Wow, this is nice, any way I can contribute?
A: If you want to dump a game's music, and simply can't wait for one of our busybody contributors to get around to it, feel free to join us at #console_stream @ irc.foreverchat.net, someone there will guide you through the dumping process. About as complicated as say, running Winamp, and if you can't do that, what are you doing here? :)
You can also provide tags for currently untagged games (ie most of them). If you do, just upload the renaming batch or tagged mini2SF files to any one-click hosting sites like SendSpace or RapidShare. Do not to upload the 2SFlib, it's completely unneeded for tagging purposes and just wastes bandwidth. Please note that songs should be ordered (according to the OST or ingame order, either is fine), unordered contributions will not be used. So, '01 Opening.mini2sf' good, 'Opening.mini2sf' bad.
Composer contributions or error/typo spotting can just go in this thread.
Q: What's the point with all these NTR-XXXX filenames, why don't you conform to my arbitrary standards, why are there so many crappy games here when my favourite game YYYY still isn't done, other LOLyousuck comments in general.
A: I couldn't really care less what you think about me, and how I spend my free time isn't really something you have any say in. All things on the site are made the way they are for a reason, mostly to ease life of dumpers.
Q: D00d, where are the ROMZ????one
A: Dude, not here.
*1 Not guaranteed to be enjoyable for all games
*2 Not everything
*3 Old version of the site, housing more music, can be found here: Older rips, not supported in any way
