    ROM Hack The various audio formats of the DS

    Oops - completely forgot about this thread. Virtual Windows XP installed .. just doing the 89 Windows Updates needed for it. Then I can continue with my investigation(s) :)

    ROM Hack The various audio formats of the DS

    Strangely enough, installing Virtual PC for Windows was one of my tasks earlier on this evening for that very same reason :) The DLS files are a necessity (for me and whoever I give the music rips too) as they either need the MIDI+DLS for remixing or use the Impulse Tracker conversions I do...

    ROM Hack The various audio formats of the DS

    No problem. I dip in and out of hacking the music. It's not like 20 years ago when I was sat in front of MonST stepping through 68000 to find the latest piece of Atari ST chip music. I get bored too easily now :) All my previous work (as in the copies available online and my tutorial) were...

    ROM Hack The various audio formats of the DS

    It's over a year since I ripped any music, so getting back into it and this thread is really useful info. Many thanks. MOD/XM etc. These are also the old-school module trackers used .. some are the ancient 4-channel .MODs but the majority are .XM files (up to 16 channels). A recent example...

    ROM Hack First draft of my music ripping guide

    This is the first draft - there's a lot I've yet to add in. Just a case of having the spare time to add another example here, do another kind of rip there etc. Most of this I've learned from reading on here, so it's only fair that I give back via the place I picked up the tips. Never even...

    ROM Hack Anyway of extracting dls from soundbanks?

    Which ones you tried (and failed) with so far? Only had one go really wrong and that was one of the Burnout games.

    ROM Hack Swav to Swar converter

    Yep - did a lot more reading up and discovered more of what Crystal Tile can do for my interest in music ripping at the weekend. I like the way it doesn't fall at the first fence like VGMTrans does with games that use either pure (or lots of) streams. Plus a few SOUND_DS.SDAT files now rip...

    ROM Hack Help with converting dls and midi to original sound

    Awave Studio does the job for me - converts them into .RMI files which I then load into Impulse Tracker. Once in Impulse Tracker, I use one of its menu options to remove the unused samples before saving it out as an .IT file.

    ROM Hack Swav to Swar converter

    Nice one. Will have a play with this later on tonight. Post-play edit: D'oh - any chance of adding reverse options (SWAR -> SWAV and SWAV -> WAV) as I mis-read what your program does as wanted to extract some .SWAV / .SWAR files back into MP3

    ROM Hack NNS mcs Server !?

    Only just looked at this one tonight to get the tune out (apologies for resurrecting an old thread). The stuff above was in there, but I liked the PROFANITY.TXT file which had a list of all the words you're not allowed to use as your team names.

    ROM Hack Music Rip queries

    OK, to save over-crowding my introduction thread, I've created this one. I want to learn this stuff so answers on a postcard please #1: FIFA '06. SDAT file is 13.2 MB which, according to VGMTrans only contains the one single WAV file. When I extract it as an original SWAV file .. it's...

    ROM Hack New guy - mostly into music ripping

    Nice one .. I'd missed that version of VGMTrans as the one I was using (up until just now!) was VGMTrans_3_24_07 Will have a good look around and do some reading up. Found some real odds & ends left (by accident) inside some ROMs. Full .EXE files used to compress pictures, .BAT files used to...

    ROM Hack New guy - mostly into music ripping

    Nice one .. always willing to learn from the experts that are out there. I'll keep my eyes open for as and when they pop their heads up. Seen quite a few games which are LUA-based (and not encrypted) and put them to one side for a mate who develops in LUA. Always handy to have an extra...

    ROM Hack New guy - mostly into music ripping

    Hi all! I couldn't find a specific 'music ripping' thread so stuck it in this one for now. If it's in the wrong place then my forum searching skills are as bad as my memory these days. Although I'm new here as a member, I've been visiting on and off for years for lurking and learning. I'm...
