About Metroid Prime's music by ghf_50 at 1:03 PM EST on January 14, 2009
Please tell me,which music format that Metroid Prime 1,2,3 use? Is vgmstream support it?

If anyone knows these music files' download address,please post a link for me. thanks!!!

They all primarily use Gamecube DSP, in various containers. vgmstream supports these and the one or two other odd formats each has.
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2 Demo
Metroid Prime 2
Metroid Prime 3

I'm curious about dual-DSP stereo...?

I'm glad I grabbed another copy of Metroid Prime. It's got the Title Screen music, which is one that I wanted.

Is there a compatible setting in the Generic Header Creator for this, so I can mess with the bytes until it loops close to how the game does?

uh, links all seem fine to me

by "dual-DSP stereo" I assume you mean what I call "dual file stereo", wherein each channel is in a separate file. Nothing more to it than that. When vgmstream sees a mono file named like a dual file stereo component, it looks for the other file.

The format used by the title isn't supported by GENH. Though since the only place it is used needs loops, that might be a good idea to support...

It seems these links are still dead to me.Oh my god,Save me...

Maybe, something wrong with my network or because of I'm in China?

Thanks hcs again!

For the naming of dual-file DSPs, they must share the same name plus "L" or "R" for the appropriate channel? Playing either file with vgmstream would be the same (assuming both files are in the same directory and are named correctly?)

I wonder why they chose this audio scheme.
by hcs at 1:25 PM EST on January 15, 2009
There are a few other naming schemes, but L and R is one. Yes, playing either will be the same.
They chose this scheme because Nintendo only provided a DSP encoder that worked with mono files. Rather than invent an interleave scheme (as everyone else did, and Retro did in Prime 2) they just used two files. You'll notice that in the demo they use ADP, which does support stereo, but it is quite a bit larger and one has less control in the playback. I guess they hadn't figured out quite what to do yet.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but the links are dead. Can I please request a re-upload of Metroid Prime Trial Edition? Thanks.
by valiant at 12:10 PM EDT on October 23, 2009
Get the rip here, that has all those tracks included and the problems (of volume nature in the demo files) corrected. If you want the original streamed files, you're out of luck as I'm too lazy to upload them right now. Maybe someone else will.

Metroid Prime Trial Edition streams

This is from the Metroid Prime set that includes both the real release and the trial one, so it's possible that redundant tracks from the real release are missing.

Thanks for the upload hcs. I had looked about everywhere on the 'Net for these streams, but I could only find dead links.
