ROM Hack GTA Radio

[TwinBlades]

didn't anyone listen to me?
i said that the riff file is probably the radio
open it as "raw" data in audacity as a 2 channel (stereo) as a signed 16-32 (not sure what one) PCM
if you slow it down it sort of sounds like the radio i haven't been able to find the right tempo, pitch and speed
hope this helps
also what programs do you guys use to the the memory information?

I GOT IT!!! but unforunatly I forgot to write down the exact numbers for the data to be played at right temp/ptich and sound

. OMG so mad. Any luck with anyone else?

wait so the riff file was the radio
also can everyone else please tell me what they use to extract the psb files
i really wan to try and make my own missions

I used Audicity to import the riff as a raw file 16bit stereo 44100khz and then adjusted the speed to -90.95

The tempo seems to be pretty dead on for the intro music but as for the rest, it still sounds distorted.
I'm not sure if each section of the riff file has their own independent tempo if I just did something wrong.

I'm also assuming once we figure this out, we would also have to find the file that states how far into the file each track and station are and edit those to match the replaced music.

Edit 1: After playing around with it some more, I imported it as a raw file, 16bit 22050khz stereo. I believe this is the correct way to load it because if you listen to it between 34- 41 seconds without speeding it up, it sounds normal, like street noise and then rain/street noise. And then if you slow it down -81.88 the tempo for the intro music matches. I'm thinking that this file is only for the sounds and music that they couldn't do with midi alone. I'm also thinking each part has its own tempo...

Thanks for the update

Just out of interest, how would you re-compress it.

Or maybe they just need sticking together again, instead of compression. I think you know what I mean.

Gonna have a play myself with these files.

i think the rain/street noise is just a coincidence of the sped up noises
i was mucking around and changing the sample rate if you make it 4000 hz it sounds like the slowed down tempo

i dont know much about audio editing but i think the sample rate might be really low or were getting the wrong decompiling method

I would say no, since it's in the NDS ROM hacking section.

 

[diesal_11]

come on guys
any progress with anyone?

 

[RTA]

I'd have progress if I knew how to recompile/compress/join the file.

Sorry for the bump, but what about DSLazy? I hope that could help!
