ROM Hack DS sound files reverse engineered

Awesome - someone figuring out the instrument format is exactly what we need.

Hell yeah! .dsf files here we come.

Let's hope

Though it won't be .dsf because Dreamcast has already taken that format

It fits so well as well :'(

I thought i recognised the name

keep it up dude i love that hub, get all my vgm from there

 

[outphase]

this looks to be progressing nicely. keep up the good work. i'd try to sequence my own but i don't have any midi editing stuff

 

[the_miker]

Even more progress from loveemu. Looks like sseq2mid has been rewritten from scratch (and no longer needs that dll) and Software ADSR has been implemented. Check it:

Man, that Dawn of Sorrow mp3 sounds incredible! Keep it up!

EDIT:
I feel real cruchy. Those are strm files lol. Any idea on how to convert those?

 

[Konamix02]

I used what Fast said(the 7F offset) and in Audacity I tried a bunch of different sample rates but they sound real muddy. I also used VOX ADPCM on THAS

edit:
That kinda sucks you cant recompile after you extract using sdattool. I was kinda looking forward to a chance at a custom soundtrack on THAS

Some more MP3s are up at http://d.hatena.ne.jp/loveemu/ (scroll down) and they sound kickass.

 

[Ailish]

can somebody extract the sounds from ff3 please?

 

[Rykar]

I'm confused are the outputted midis supposed to sound bad?

All of the tools are here, do it yourself.

The sseq2mid program is definitely a WIP. They're not supposed to, but that's how the end up anyway.

What exactly is VGMTrans, it doesn't seem to be released yet and the person on Loveemu sure likes to show it off a lot.

It appears to be a program that can extract the musical instrument samples from the .sseq files as a .dls file, so that you can play the midi's converted with sseq2mid correctly. (As opposed to using the standard gm.dls file that Windows uses by default, unless you have a sound card that supports Hardware MIDI like the Soundblaster Audigy)

 

[shunned_bozo]

now that swav2wav has been released by Loveumu, there are more chance to convert strm files??

or we still have to use the substituion of the header??? and if this, can you explain please agin your method (the 7F offset),,please?


THANKS

 

[Dirtie]

pre-alpha version of VGMTrans has been released - have fun

Woo I just extracted trauma center's music and i'm lovin it but what limits it to only midi? Is it just cause it's suppose to sound this way but somehow the DS plays it otherwise or is it just the stage of reverse engineering?

 

[bryehn]

I've had some pretty decent success ripping these things to wav/mp3 with Winamp, but some games' music comes out distorted (Final Fantasy III specifically) or stuttery (Animal Crossing). Anybody have a better rip method for combining the .mid and .dls files?
