Project. Milo .wav files by Puterboy1 at 11:23 AM EDT on April 28, 2023

I need to make these playable. Could take a look at them? You can download some samples here: https://zenhax.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18312

Try with this .txth :

###
codec = XMA2
channels = @0x1A:BE$2
sample_rate = @0x1C:BE$4
interleave = 2
start_offset = 4
num_samples = data_size
###

If they won't play, change codec to PCM16BE.

Else just trim first 4 bytes from each file.

Thank you.

Either of them cannot play. Can you add this update to vgmstream?

by Puterboy1 at 5:45 PM EDT on April 29, 2023

And your samples cannot be played either.

Strange...
vgmstream detects correct codec (XMA2) irrespective of extension. Just trimming first 4 bytes was the definitive solution, without needind the .txth.

by Puterboy1 at 1:06 PM EDT on April 30, 2023

Even so, have the VGMstream heads look at it and see if it can support the files in a future update.

by almendaz at 6:04 PM EDT on April 30, 2023

Try this:
Rename all of those trimmed ".wav" to ".xma2"
No need for the .txth.

Well...
I though that, in the past.
So, now I'm mistaken.
But I preferred the ".txth"-governed approach of playing sound files instead of modern (internal) vgmstream-mandated extension-based.
But some media players interferre with that, I reckon.

I tried renaming to xma2 to but they still won't play. Ask the moderators of vgmstream to support these files.

by almendaz at 10:36 PM EDT on May 1, 2023

What player are you using?
winamp (as I), foobar2000, xmplay, audacious
Did you install latest vgmstream libraries/plugins?
Besides, the renaming to .xma2 should apply to the trimmed .wav files I put in this link NOT the originals.

Ask the moderators of vgmstream to support these files.
They are supported, your setup/configuration must have something specific going on.

by Puterboy1 at 1:19 AM EDT on May 2, 2023

I use foobar2000 and the latest vgmstream is installed I think.

by almendaz at 1:19 AM EDT on May 3, 2023

Hello.

To test these ".wav" files I use latest v2.0 fb2k & latest vgmstream fb2k-component.

IMG
Open foobar2000 application. Go to File -> Preferences. At "Components" section, drag&drop the "foo_input_vgmstream.fb2k-component" file that was just downloaded. Accept the warning, press Apply then OK buttons & restart the application.

IMG
When you want to play those .wav files, vgmstream (or fb2k maybe) will protest.

IMG
So, the course of action is to rename those .wav to a format recognizable by vgmstream, in this case, .xma2 ...

IMG
... and thus the (internal) format is recognized allowing the files to play.

So, try to update your program (& component) version to latest (for both).

I tried following your instructions and it still doesn't work!! *bawls*

by Puterboy1 at 3:31 PM EDT on May 4, 2023

Would it be all right if I sent you all the sounds and you can put them up on www.sounds-resource.com for preservation?

by Puterboy1 at 3:38 PM EDT on May 4, 2023

How is it possible that your's work and mine don't?

You're not alone sir, I'm baffled at your case too. Only vgmstream authors might answer your inquiry.

If I am to hypothetize on your case, it might be that there's another plugin, system-wide maybe, in your side that interferes with vgmstream.

I'll share the transcoded WAV's instead.

by almendaz at 10:13 PM EDT on May 4, 2023

Here are the transcoded WAV's.

I found another way. I used Ravioli Explorer to remove the .xma files.

by almendaz at 10:43 PM EDT on May 6, 2023

Thank you. Another tool for our arsenal :)9
Have you uploaded sounds to The sounds-resource yet ?

by Puterboy1 at 2:38 AM EDT on May 7, 2023

Better yet, I’ll keep them for my projects.
