[VIDEO DEMULTIPLEXER]
- Added CRI USM format demultiplexing. These have been seen in Crysis 2 and Ultimate Spider Man.
- Added Microsoft XMV demultiplexing. These are found on Xbox games. This type can supposedly have raw PCM audio, but I haven't seen it yet; and consequently cannot automatically add the GENH headers for output. Video is currently unplayable.
- Currently supported demux formats: DVD Video (VOB), MPEG1, MPEG2, PAM (PS3), PMF (PSP), PSS (PS2), SFD, USM, XMV (XBOX)

Thanks to hcs for his usm_deinterleave source.
I would like to add the XMA2 header related info for getting frequencies and loop info. I'm not sure if I'll incorporate the FSB related stuff though.
thx to bxaimc for the pics and stuff

1 - The overall file size of MAIN.EXE has shrunk from 104Kb to just 82Kb. No compression!
2 - I added ResetCallback and SetMem functions at the beginning of the Main loop for proper execution sequence. The SetMem function is set to 0x00200000, for retail PSone executables. Hopefully, future PSF players can utilize a DEV-unit's memory, which is 0x00800000 :D
3 - Some work was redone with the Reverb Engine, making it complete, meaning that every possible Reverb function is available to the end-user (via PSF-o-Cycle).
4 - The 'popping' and 'crackling' issues that some seem to experience have been fixed, finally.
5 - Proper CRC info has been added to the EXE header during compilation, fixing the "CRC error" that occurred with some PSFs when trying to playback with FooBar.
6 - The PSF Driver Stub is no longer erased when using PSF-o-Cycle's 'Optimize' option. The user must select 'Do not optimize song-specific regions'.
7 - The PSF Driver Stub is now proper initialized in the Main loop, before song playback.
8 - The parameter types have been fixed. Before they were all 'char' when they should have varied (long , short, etc).
9 - The customizable options with PSF-o-Cycle have been renamed to be more user-friendly.
10 - A lot of redundant and unused functions have been removed.
11 - Proper looping support. If a PSF fails to loop, set the 'Playback Amount' option to 0 (Infinity).
12 - Updated SEP support - can now support a SEP that includes up to 16 tracks (PSone MAX). Also included is the ability to play multiple tracks at once (SEP only!).
13 - Volume levels have been corrected, eliminating the need to adjust via PSF-o-Cycle, unless desired.
14 - Three new customizable options have been added, and they are as follows:
SEQ/SEP Address - Define where the sequence is located in executable memory. It must be at least 80030000 or above.
VH Memory Address - Define where the VAB header is located in executable memory. It must be atleast 80030000 or above.
VB Memory Address - Define where the VAB bank is located in executable memory. It must be at least 80030000 or above.

TODO:
I am going to add support for 'auto shutoff', which will stop a track from playing silence (once playback is complete), allowing for automatic advance to the next track. This feature can be used for either non/looping PSFs, and overrides the "Play Forever" feature present in all PSF players.
Proper release information and details will soon follow in the form of a PDF.
I hope you can add it and it's new functions to VGMToolBox, soon. ;)
Regards, Polokus.
@Polokus: I'll add it to my todo list, but my first instinct is to say that will be beyond my abilities or something else will come first. You may want to explore how VFSs work if you have not already. Many archives can be extracted easily that way.
Regards, Polokus
Sorry, I should have mentioned this stuff before. >.<
The function SsSeqPlay is set to 1 (SSPLAY_PLAY). This option will playback a sequence, only once. Almost every bgm-type PSF i've ever ripped has loop points in the MIDI data, thus making the music loop, automatically.
If there is an issue with a non-sfx PSF (background music) that doesn't loop when it should, change the "Playback Amount" variable to 0 (SSPLAY_INFINITY) using PSF-0-Cycle.
The only game i've ripped that requires SSPLAY_INFINITY was Mortal Kombat II, but that set was strange, anyhow (random bass fluctuations, irregularly low volume, etc.)
0x800104DC /* Jump Patch Address (jal main) */
Below are the defaults for data location, same as before.
unsigned long SEQ_DATA = 0x800A0000
unsigned long VH_DATA = 0x800E0000
unsigned long VB_DATA = 0x80160000

[ISO BROWSER/EXTRACTOR]
- Added disc image browser/extractor to view/extract the contents of game disc images. Currently, it supports .ISO and raw dump formats (.BIN, .IMG, .ISO, .MDF). .CUE, .CCD, etc... are not yet supported, so Redbook Audio Extraction is not really possible. For PSX disks, XA tracks (Mode2Form2) are highlighted in green for easy identification. When extracted, they will ready to run through the XA scanner.

Thanks to Polokus for testing the ISO Extractor with XBOX 360 images.
==========================
@MarkGrass - any chance of uploading a version of your driver with the default set to SSPLAY_INFINITY? I've encountered a number of sets that do not loop without it and it doesn't hurt those with proper loop points set. It's a lot easier than changing settings in PSF-O-Cycle. Users who want to listen to non-looping SFX can always download your non-looping driver and enter the offsets manually. Thanks again for the updated driver.
Yeah, CDMage shouldn't be needed. Of course, please let me know if you encounter any bugs.
I have set "Playback Amount" to 0 (infinite), and added some new functionality:
If the VAB master volume and/or any VAB program volume is 0, the driver will automatically set to 127 (max). I have encountered many sets that resulted in no playback/errors, because the volume level within the VAB data was set to 0. With this upgrade, there's no need for Sony's 'VABtool' nor manual hacking.
If the "Playback Amount" option != 0, the driver will detect when/if a sequence has completed playback, halt emulation, then automatically advance to the next track (if available).
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GJ7WW6X0
Even more, I really appreciate the VAB volume code feature. I always remembered your warning about it and wondered if I were missing BGM due to a volume level of 0.
I'll have some time soon, so I'll update VGMT and put up a new version with this driver.

Thanks to Infernus Animositas and neo_chip for reporting the Video Demultiplexer bugs.
I don't understand what you mean by "isn't supported."
I was able to create a PSF2 and time it. If you are having trouble making a PSF2 out of it, remember that VGMT requires the files to be named using the .SQ/.HD/.BD file extensions. This is because you may have a full directory of files and it cannot automatically match them all.
In this case, you'll need to rename them as follows to get them working:
Sony PS2 InstrSet => 1.HD
Sony PS2 Seq => 1.SQ
VGMSampColl => 1.BD
Is that possible? Just wondering. Would make my life a whole bunch easier.
Thanks in advance!
What I would like is when the program extracts the files out of an archive that it will extract in the same order as they appear in the archive and number it like 001,002 ect instead of the offset suffix scheme? because window explorer just completely messes up the order.
Thanks. :)

I'm not certain if this goes here or if I should've just created a topic for it but I have a slight issue with vgmtoolbox.
I wanted to make use of NSFE to NSF + M3U but when I select it, the right panel is completely empty. Nothing can be dropped in. The NSF M3U Creator appears fine however, along with all else.
Is this just a bug on my end? Other recent versions of vgmtoolbox have the same issue. Thanks in advance and thank you again for putting this app together!
Thanks for the bug report. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but regenerating the GUI for that tool seemed to fix things. I've put an updated version in the SVN repository on Sourceforge. So you can recompile it using Visual C# Express 2008 if you'd like. Otherwise, I'll upload the new executable soon, but today is pretty busy.
I found the main problem for broken VGMs:
snakemeat's VGMToolbox writes a wrong EOF Offset (12 bytes too low, not just 8). So vgm_cmp (and all my other tools would do the same) reads not enough bytes and writes garbage at the end of the files, which breaks them.
I hope this is an easy fix for you. :)

Thanks to Knurek and ValleyBell for reporting issues with the VGM Tagger.
NSF and GBS M3U creators should change the standard unknown composer symbol (<?>) to something else - having the < and > chars in the playlists makes them unplayable.
What I was wondering is, could I use VGMTb to extract the FSB files (which, if I recall, is a VFS itself)? Then, I could run tools on the FSB files to see what I get. I've already tried this, but I keep getting an error - "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: Length"
I used "FSB4" (in HEX.... I don't remember the numbers) as the start, and "00000000000" (well, a number of 0s) as the terminator, since I didn't know of a better way to distinguish EOD. Suggestions on how I can extract the FSBs? I've already asked about this on the IRC channel (and uploaded files for people to look at - http://www.mediafire.com/?ilnobx2icmwy3lb <-- contains lots of small ARC files. I figure the larger the sample base, the better the support for the ARC VFS. Also uploaded http://www.mediafire.com/?t5xraz3ufmylu2s which definitely contains lots of FSB4 references), but I thought I might as well ask here as well, just in case someone (who isn't on the channel) knows how to use VGMTb better than I do, and can give me some pointers.
As for the game? Well, as unlikely as it may be, I'd like to extract these myself, so I can put it up on the tracker.... Though, if you *really* want to know, read the IRC chat logs. I went into much more detail there. Hopefully someone can help me out here. Mouser X over and out.

[POS FILE MAKER] Added tool to create .POS files. .POS files are used by vgmstream to indicate loop points of .WAV files. This was inspired by arbingordon's at3plusloop.exe. It can be used to look at files that must be converted to .WAV (ATRAC3, ATRAC3+, XMA, etc...) and create .POS loop point files.
I have not implemented any validation on inputs, so see if you can figure it out. Presets have not been implemented either. I plan to add features for a generic "Loop Entire File" and "Search for Bytes" style input similar to the RIFF input.
Lastly, you shouldn't use "Predict Shift for Batch" if you're only doing one file.

The format is kind of weird, since even files with the same stream content won't show up as dupes when searching - they have different frame markers (I know next to nothing about actual XA structure, so I may be talking out of my ass).
Here are two samples, cut from Ridge Racer 4, both should decode to the same thing - all zeroes, so no sound, and yet both have different checksums so won't be detected as dupes.
Now those two I prepared especially to show the case - the actual stream content in the two files is actually different, but I found many games with identical streams spread between many files.
It's kind of hard to pick all those up by ear, and there's always a possibility of removing something unnecessary. Maybe you'd be able to help here.
XA examples
Something that would allow you to specify driver, DSP program, sequence data and... say, up to 4 tone banks. The frontend would show you the location of each segment in the 68000 memory space, the available memory and other details.
Maybe it could also print out warnings when misaligning the tone banks - since ssfinfo.py can give you the information regarding number of samples a sequence file expects from a specific tone bank, if for example you would combine a 5 instrument tone on bank #0 file with a seq file that uses 11 instruments on bank #0 and 5 on bank #1 the program could catch that and notify you that you're doing something wrong. Same for picking a mixer that doesn't do any DSP effects and some other, automatically substituting known not working drivers and other common errors.
After pressing make_ssf button the tool would then create a custom map file, run ssfmake.py the required amount of times, adding all the sequence and tone data, run ssf_time and add tags to the file (I don't remember if the current implementation does that).
Now, all of this can be done manually, I've been doing custom map files for quite a number of my rips (kingshriek ones ten to unnecessarily allocate a lot of memory to the SEQ files, resulting in overflows in the tone data), but this is something that should really be doable by a tool.
Having to do this process manually for the hundred+ GB of Saturn games I have in my processing queue is really not something I'm looking forward to.
Snakemeat, please let me know if you require additional details or an example file. :)
A sample would be helpful. I'm sure I'll have some questions, but I need to look at the scripts again to remember how all this works. This sounds really challenging and interesting though.
This is from a game I'm currently ripping.
OPENING_000.SEQ - size 0x2953
OPENING_000.BIN - size 0x4C242
OPENING_001.BIN - size 0xAF95
Neither of the tone banks uses DSP, so that's one less worry to have (if I manage to find a DSP using game I'll whip up another example).
Byte 0x01 of the SEQ file tells us that is has 20 subsongs, so the final ssfmake.py run should generate a ssflib (but as this example will show, it's always better to give the user an option to stick to single song.
So we have two tone banks. ssfinfo.py will tell you that subsongs 1-19 use samples from bank 1 while the last one uses samples from bank 0 - hence we need to create an ssf with both of the banks.
First of all, let's create a custom map for the rip - all of kingshriek's examples are only for single tone bank rips, so it's not like we have any choice on the matter.
The 68000 address space that interests us starts at 0xB000 - everything before that is taken up by the sound driver. We have 0x75000 of memory to ourselves - larger amount than the 0x59B2A bytes the three files have combined, so we're safe there.
So starting from 0xB000, let's allocate 0x2A00 bytes for the sequence data, then from offset 0xDA00 (starting offset+previous bank size) 0x4C242 bytes for tone bank #0 data, then from offset 0x59C42 (previous offset+previous bank size) 0xAF95 bytes for tone bank #1.
Cust_seq.map has this data in three 8 byte entries, terminated by 0xFF.
fb aa aa aa t0 ss ss ss
f - Data format (4-bits - 0: TONE, 1: SEQUENCE, 2: DSP_PROGRAM, 3: DSP_RAM)
b - Bank number (4-bits - any value between 0-15)
a - Start address (24-bits, big-endian, if DSP_RAM, must be a multiple of 0x2000)
t - Transfer bit (bit 7 - must be set to 1 for the driver to read the data)
s - Data size (24-bits, big-endian)
So our map looks like this:
1 0 00B000 80 002A00
0 0 00DA00 80 04C242
0 1 059C42 80 00AF95
FF
Now let's build our ssf file. Kingshriek's script can only process one bank at a time, so we will need to do two passes. First pass settings will look like this (I'm skipping data that isn't important, since I've included both script passes in the archive):
bank = 0x01
use_dsp = 0
ndrv = 'driver_2.2.tsk'
nmap = 'CUST_SEQ.MAP'
nbin = 'OPENING_001.BIN'
nout = 'opening.ssf'
And then there's second pass, where we work on bank #00
bank = 0x00
ndrv = '68000ram.bin'
nbin = 'OPENING_000.BIN'
nseq = 'OPENING_000.SEQ'
nout = 'opening.ssflib'
Of course, once you actually listen to the files, you realize everything save last subsong is just SFX, so the whole process is kind of pointless (since the only proper song uses just bank #00). Makes for a good example though, hope everything's clear here. :)
edited 3:13 PM EST November 21, 2012
Two more feature request for pmh - neither of these is really time critical given that I won't tackle NDS for at least a year, but would be appreciated nevertheless.
1. Could you combine the current NDSTo2SF and Make 2SFs tabs into one procedure? Drag'n drop the NDS file, have VGMToolbox extract all the SDAT files from it and then run Make 2SFs instance for each of them. This would let me size optimize the output (zero out SFX/etc), something not currently possible with NDSTo2SF
2. Another thing that would make my life easier would be a SDAT/2SFlib compare function, where you could load two SDAT (or 2SFlib) files (say, one from JPN region, the other for USA) and have VGMToolbox parse through them and do a binary comparison for songs and sample banks the song uses.
Would greatly simplify finding games that had music changes between regions (Mario & Luigi 2 had, if memory serves me correctly, a JPN/EUR region exclusive song).
I'm trying to add looping to Soul Calibur GENH editing the files, but and I'm not very sure about how I can do it.
All "Loop Start" cases are empty, I just have to fill it with the proper sample to make it work? If not, tell what I have to do with each file, because I'm quite noob with these things. Thanks.

Probably not. Currently, I have not even written code to edit a single ID666 tag. If this function had been created I might consider it, but right now it seems like it would take a lot of time. I just don't have the time to put it together right now.
I don't know of any other tools to do it either.

Also, please provide all files that lead to the error (SQ, HD, BD, and modules).
I don't recall if I could recreate the issue last time, but I'll try.
I only have a Windows XP development environment, so I cannot work with all of the Admin permissions stuff with Windows Vista through the current Windows 8.
Currently VGMToolbox only changes the xSF Tag Editor to green at first successful job, but doing another one doesn't give you any idea whether the update was successful.
How about adding text output to the log window? Something like:
2013.09.15 07:04: Update in "08 Everybody Jump Around.minigsf" successful.
2013.09.15 07:02: Update in "02 Humming the Bassline.minigsf" failed.
One other thing - the current tagging window has a completely useless (to me ;) ) System tag, but misses the extremely useful (again, to me) Tagger tag. Not really a big issue - that's what psfpoint is, but if that's a simple change, maybe you could look into that as well.
Thankee.
I don't even remember where the System tag came from. I think it's used by S98v3, which adopted the PSF tag format.
There also isn't any way to modify ReplayGain tags, but that is a really, really minor thing (especially since those are more easily modified in media players like Winamp or Foobar2000), so I doubt I'd worry about those.

Added a drop down to the GENH creator to select Coefficient Type in accordance with the revised code. Haven't tested too much, but did a few comparisons amongst some NGC files using the old and new code and it seemed to work okay.
Please give it a try and let me know. You can find it here.
An error has occurred, I was unable to create the PSF.
I will attach the file in question.

sorry. bad English.

I've updated VGMToolbox to handle the demo. Looks like it may be missing some SDAT sections, but I should've been doing some better checking anyhow in my parsing routine.
You can grab r934 on Sourceforge.

----
The decompressed ARM9.bin (with the bit before the text 'SDAT' deleted) and the ROM work when using the .bin with Make 2SFs and NDSto2SF for the 'E3 2005 DS Download Station Submarine Tech Demo' (the ARM9.bin is uncompressed in this demo).
The decompressed ARM9.bin (again with the bit before the text 'SDAT' deleted) work when using the .bin with Make 2SFs and NDSto2SF for the 'DS Download Station 3 US Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2', but the NDSTo2SF does not work with the ROM, probably because the SDAT is iside the compressed ARM9.bin.
I don't know if you want to fix this, because people can just uncompress the ARM9.bin and delete the bit before 'SDAT', then rename it to SDAT or NDS depending on the vgmtoolbox tool used.
