    Anyone knowledgeable about Sega CD BIN (MIDI) music format in Rise of the Dragon?

    No guys, I am not talking about a BIN/CUE, a different format entirely. :) There are a couple CD audio tracks, but only a few, all introduction pieces. The rest of the game's audio is in a small BIN format, most under 50KB. About 58-60 tracks, most in the format RD01_MUS.BIN. One is attached...

    Anyone knowledgeable about Sega CD BIN (MIDI) music format in Rise of the Dragon?

    Hey there, This is a post about the BIN music format in the SEGA CD game Rise of the Dragon. It almost certainly hides MIDI files or a similar format, but because it's SEGA CD, and because it wasn't a huge game, there is no information about the game's formats. The main SCD forums have a...

    Homebrew Flash cart recommendation (3DS Roms/eShop)

    Hey folks, I know there's a wealth of info out there, but I'm drowning in all the new info since I was last looking into this (1-2 years ago). Basically, I have an 'old' 3DSXL and would like to be able to play 3DS Roms and eShop Roms. I already have a DSTwo for DS games/etc. I guess I should...

    ROM Hack Best way to extract DLS/etc from DS ROM

    TF: After you load the ROM, go to the files folder, and double click on sound_data.sdat. Then go to the Bank folder, and you can right-click the SBNK files and select "Convert to DLS".

    ROM Hack Best way to extract DLS/etc from DS ROM

    I have used multiple programs, but I convert the DLS to SF2, use BASSMIDI Driver (it lets you use soundfonts on a non-SB card), and use it with my regular MIDI sequencer as a MIDI port, Voyetra Digital Orchestrator Pro. Very useful :) I've checked the WAV's in a sample editing program, and the...

    ROM Hack Best way to extract DLS/etc from DS ROM

    Thanks Geri. But on MKDS modifier DLS's, as I wrote earlier: Referring to MKDS: The looping issue is not the track itself, as in, it's NOT a traditional 'eng of song' loop issue at all, it's actually the WAV samples themselves in the DLS 'soundfont' bank. The ones that MKDS exports don't have...

    ROM Hack Best way to extract DLS/etc from DS ROM

    Did it, thanks. Any other suggestions, fire away. Any suggestions, TF, about the PSG/pulsewaves in DS tracks?

    ROM Hack Best way to extract DLS/etc from DS ROM

    TF: Tried it, it was the same. A bug in Trans maybe? It's definitely missing some SWAV's from the SWAR bank.

    ROM Hack Best way to extract DLS/etc from DS ROM

    Thanks very much TF. I appreciate you working with me, I know I sound kind of obstinate, but I just want to get over this minor hump. I will check it out hopefully tonight. Haxan: The looping issue is not the track itself, as in, it's NOT a traditional 'eng of song' loop issue at all, it's...

    ROM Hack Best way to extract DLS/etc from DS ROM

    As I said in my OP, VGM Trans is inaccurate, it only extracts 4 of 6 non-pulsewave instruments, in this case, missing electric piano and drums. I did a lot more research last night atfer I posted this thread, I managed to extract the SWAR/SWAV (which I thought was in the SBNK file, but is...

    ROM Hack Best way to extract DLS/etc from DS ROM

    Hey folks, At first, this sounds like a 'Google that yourself' question, but bear with me, please :) I've been trying to find the *most accurate* way possible to extract DLS from a ROM's SBNK. (NOTE: I know that pulsewaves [PSG's?] will not be extracted, nor ADSR information.) As my test, I...

    Hacking TempGBA: NDSGBA revival

    Sorry to have my first post be a request or question, but are save states transferrable from NDSGBA, if not will they be implemented again? From what I've read beta 2 was the last to support this feature. Thanks for the GREAT work, playing Emerald with the DirectSound and PSG playing different...
