Hi all, someone pointed me to this thread and I think I have something y'all might be interested in. At the bottom of my
vgm ripping page I've added srt_inject_dsp, which allows you to replace the headers in srt files. It can take as a source either another .srt (for instance if you want to copy a track from another game) or a .dsp pair, one file for each channel, which you can create from ordinary .wav files with DSPADPCM.exe from the GC/Wii devkit.
Examples of use:
Code:
srt_inject_dsp bgm.srt 10 s_bgm_28.ssd newL.dsp newR.dsp
This will write a new s_bgm_28.ssd file with the audio data from newL.dsp and newR.dsp. It will also replace the stream header for stream id 10 in bgm.srt so that the file will play correctly (that is without the fuzziness I've seen complaints of, it's important for to have the correct coefficient table in the .srt).
Another example:
Code:
srt_inject_dsp bgm.srt 10 -c otherbgm.srt 3
This will copy the stream header from stream id 3 in otherbgm.srt to stream id 10 in bgm.srt. If otherbgm.srt was from another game (say the Japanese release), you would also have to copy over the corresponding .ssd file.
What .ssd corresponds to what stream id is spelled out in this .bat file that I put together for another purpose (for rebuilding the BGM as .zwdsp to play in vgmstream):

The guy I was talking to hasn't rebuilt Wii ISOs before so he wasn't able to test this out for me, I hope someone here can give it a spin. Let me know if you need any help, you can reach me on AIM or my web site.
I'll try it out next wednesday. It sound really great, and if I get results I will definetly post about it as a tutorial. Now if only someone could hack those thp files back as the endings...

QUOTE(squall23 @ Feb 9 2010, 01:47 PM) Can you make a quick tutorial about how to swap BGMs while keeping others? I actually want the UAS version of the character select BGM and the Orbital Ring BGM but I want to replace everything else.
I am. I will say this now, and never again. I will not release anything until wednesday next week. I'm busy with my family visitng and so my time is limited. I will release everything I promised, just not right away.
Damn, people are bustin' your chops. lol. If you guys don't want to wait for an update, rebuild your custom music list yourself. I've rebuilt and swapped music like 4-5 times already, the process isn't hard people. It takes a little time yes, but you can do it too.
