Hacking How to convert BFSTM to BCTSM?

[WishyTheStar]

I want to use Splatoon 2's music for a 3DS theme, but no converter seems to support Switch BFSTM. Even LoopingAudioConverter.

Is there a way that I can convert BFSTM to BCTSM?

if you compile vgmstream from source it works fine, I should host a recent version somewhere

EDIT: have fun https://github.com/NWPlayer123/vgmstream/tree/master/binary

Is it possible to do it reverse (converting wav to sw bfstm) with this tool ?

I don't think so, not yet at least, might be able to hack together a tool but no point if you can't load modified files

VGAudio will do lossless conversions between B_STM types, and supports arbitrary endianness for BFSTM and BCSTM files, so it can read and write the little-endian BFSTM files the Switch uses.

Edit: Looks like selecting the endianness when writing a file hasn't been exposed in the UI (Mostly because there wasn't much of a reason to before the Switch was released), but the library supports the option.

I always use this program to convert wavs to BRSTM and then BCSTM, but I think you can convert a wav to BRSTM and then BFSTM with the same program too.
In-topic: I think that rather than getting the BRSTM out of the game and converting it to BCSTM, isn't it better to search online for the audio you want and then convert it? There's Splatoon 2 songs all over youtube by now, i'm pretty sure you can find what you're looking for.

Thank you all for the help!

It's a nice idea, but I don't prefer doing that with video game music.

This tool can do it for you:
