Gaming [Other][Sounds]Nintendo Wii U System Sounds pack

[Trylk248]

::IMPORTANT::
I actually am seeking into the Wii U NAND apps' files to understand how they work.
The important thing is that I actually need someone who can help me with audio editing.
::Thanks to have read that::

Hello everybody! How are you doing? I hope you're not too bad because I actually am going to announce you guys something out of ordinary...

Yes, you've heard me correctly... "Out of ordinary"

So what the heck is that all about?

Eh... Let me talk ok?

- - - - -

First of all, the title clearly indicates what is the topic about : Wii U™ System sounds pack

What is that ?

It's pretty much simple as this : most of the Nintendo® Wii U™ sounds which are being used on the HomeMenu (Eg : Open folder, confirm selection, cursor movement, open an app, open an applet, change page, etc...)

Okay... Sounds cool. But how the HECK do you do that?

Well, it's pretty simple but indeed requires a bit of work on the sounds.

How ?! Please how?!

Okay, okay...

First step ; I plug an Audio Wire Jack (both male ends) into One in my computer microphone jack and the other one directly into the Nintendo® Wii U™ Gamepad headphone port.

Secondly, I open my recording application/software Adobe® Audition CC 2017 64bits and then go on the Nintendo® Wii U™ GamePad and open the app I want.

Spoiler: :: Note ::

:: Note ::
I always wait AFTER clicking the app I want to record sounds from, before starting to record.

:: First thing ::
Please note that every single music/sound is recorded INDIVIDUALLY and worked a lot depending on the amount of background noise/music playing at the same time. This allows me to get every little details of a sound at it's very own place and it also make it like "This only" without "that music playing at the same time".

:: Second thing ::
Audio files will be distributed in .wav and .ogg file format. Each recording is sampled at 192 000Hz, expect some huge files! Thanks.
Also, a torrent will be created for that since it's going to grow by the time this will be completed.

Alright, SPOILERS TIME!
Well... uh... I mean by this "What have been done so far yet"

So far, I could record :
Wait a minute!!!

UPDATE ! (March 24th 2017)

So yeah, as I said, it can take a long time to achieve a high-quality noise-less-asp(as possible) audio.

For the curious! here's a photo of the Spectrum of the song. You can clearly see the part where I am working.

Need help?

If you want, yes it would be very appreciated. Some tracks are much longer and so, needs more work!

For the curious, here is a photo of what I mean by "high quality audio"

(What you'll see is the SPECTRUM of an audio file that will be in the pack.

Pretty cool, will you release these as a download, and maybe even try to get more sounds?

Yes as downloads, hosted on Dropbox with the basic file format "Ogg Vorbis".

Sweet!

Hey guys! I currently am looking for persons who have great skills/talents in audio editing. I want some people that knows how to remove noises, create a good loop, and separate two sounds playing at the same time to extract each of them. If you are interested, join me on the official GBATemp discord server.

I will also stream the sounds from time to time on the Discord if any staff allow me to do it.

 

[Deleted User]

Cool stuff.
Time to create music with it /s
Nice job grabbing these sounds i guess.

 

[Trylk248]

Thanks a lot Felek666.

 

[cearp]

surely we are in a position to decrypt the firmware files and access the sounds losslessly that way instead of having to record them?
still, it is nice you did it/will do it, thanks for sharing

 

[Trylk248]

Hey guys! It's me again, Sebastian. So yeah... I would need YOUR help! The way you can help me is by adding me on the Nintendo Wii U.

My Nintendo Network ID

I will need you guys in order to perform some actions I cannot do myself, such as "Incoming Wii U Chat call" and "A friend is online" plus "You got a new friend request!"

Hope to see you soon online! Buh-bye!

I actually CAN'T decrypt files since it's on the NAND and it's ENCRYPTED. So, sadly, I got to record it with a very high quality Audio wire.

Little update here! You can now fully play a sound from the links. Simply click on the desired sound you want to hear and it should bring you to a "Dropbox preview" link. so, I decided to use the Torrent as the main download method for this. This will include both WAV and the respective Metadatas for each sound. Files will NOT be compressed in order to avoid as much as possible a quality loss.

Another update yet?! Yeah!
What's that about now?

Hey guys, uh... I hope you kind of enjoy the little roleplay I add here. So here's what's coming for the next update:

• I will record a full video on How I do this. I will try to get a Irl video capture as well.

Sorry for the bump but I think this needs definitely a bit more attention!

So far, I was trying recently to understand how a WiiU app is made and I got myself very surprised! Guys, I found the original BGMs directly from the NAND!

Hey guys! Mini bump here! I actually decided to start making some Fanmade Soundtrack CD
Tell me what games you want or what songs from what game.

Are you sure it's legal to post them here? They're embedded in every wii u, but they're copyrighted allegedly

 

[Trylk248]

Legal stuff? Wow that word impresses me. We have homebrew (illegal), hacks and dumps (illegal too). And everyone says "You sure its legal?" Ey, why u ask when we have illegal stuff like homebrew, exploits, hacks, repositories and guides for hacking? Bruh, i will not sell them.

Copyrights is that :

Copying ILLGEGALY WITHOUT Original copyright owner agreement AND SELLING THE STUFF = illegal

Legal = Copy, credit and DO NOT DISTRIBUTE! That means "do not put a public link to the file".

 

[Mazamin]

No man, homebrews are completely legal, dumps from copyrighted contents are illegal, it doesn't matter if it's free or paid.

 

[Trylk248]

I don't get that... Homebrew are legal?! SO YOU SAY A HACK IS LEGAL?! AN HOMEBREW IS A HACK IN ITSELF.

 

[Mazamin]

Hacks to load unsigned softwares(aka homebrews) are legal(grey area in some countries), hacks to load pirated softwares are illegal

 

[Trylk248]

Oh you talk about third-party vs unsigned stuff. Well let me remind you that the console / os is LICENSED and LEGALY UNDER PROTECTION OF LEGAL AUTHORITY AND LAWS.
R
How does the homebrew works? It exploits (use a failure) in the OS to RUN A HACK INSTALLATION AND THEN Bang! U got the HOMEBREW! What is illegal is to download game dumps (things pretty much everyone does here) without PAYING! You know that can lead to a company's failure? They don't get money when u download a DUMPED game. (Yes the game u download guys are DUMPED).

 

[Mazamin]

IMO dumping contents from copyrighted softwares is not legal, anyway good luck with your project and I hope I'm wrong

 

[Trylk248]

Lmao, time to read legal stuff!

 

[KiiWii]

OP: if you dump a game, is that legal? If you dump the sound track of the game, is that legal?

Its called intellectual property. Everything inside that console is designed made and built by various companies and culminate in a console that is protected by copyright laws (worldwide).

While its brilliant to have this (wtf for: I have no idea) its a very shady area to be dumping and sharing files from the NAND.

 

[Trylk248]

LEGAL POSTS CLOSED!!!
Sorry but we're going off-topic.

Distributing the soundtrack would be illegal, yes. It is also against the forum rules to distribute them via this forum, both publicly and in private messages.
