N64 Sound Tool

[SubDrag]

Ice Mario and I worked together to make this a long time ago, and I have kept meaning to post it. Anyways, it's an open source sound tool for N64 ROMs, which lets you play standard format waves, and lets you add/change waves that are in the game already.

As a caveat, we never figured out how to generate predictors, so it uses a fixed set. If you want to try others to get better sounds, edit the source code, and if you create an algorithm to make them, great! When you import, make sure you choose VADPCM as only GoldenEye supports raw sounds.

The source and program is free to distribute and use, as long as mention of the RWP and creators is done.

Have fun! Only some games use this format, so good luck. Most Rare games do. Hopefully source can also be of use to someone.

Thanks for this SubDrag and Ice Mario. Just used it to go through DKR's sounds. It works great.

[Galactic Mario]

Well done. Well done indeed! I'd expect nothing less from Ice and yourself! ^_^

[Y-Kaz]

I will try it someday

[SubDrag]

In some games, but you may need to use open ctl/tbl specific, and manually check out the file to find the right location, as the tool just guesses.

[Spyke4995]

It was pretty accurate with DKR, meaning to try it on other games later this morning.

[Skill]

Thats really neat!

[BobbyTheCat]

Wow, that's cool!

[Mombi Jombo]

I want this work for Clay Fighter 63 1/3 and Sculptor Cut

[lemurboy12]

I hope this works on Pokemon Snap...

[Smouvy]

How about you would've actually looked at the topic's date before bumping it with that worthless post? :)

[lemurboy12]

Oh ffff I'm a dup. Anyway, IT WORKED! Pleanty of Pokemon voice clips for me.

[marshallh]

works fine on my own homebrews :)

Preview is corrupted, but actual sound extract works fine.

[Smouvy]

Oh ffff I'm a dup. Anyway, IT WORKED! Pleanty of Pokemon voice clips for me.

And this shall be the point in which I'll ask you to upload that and share them with me, please? :D

[lemurboy12]

And this shall be the point in which I'll ask you to upload that and share them with me, please? :D
Sure. I slowed most of them down to normal speed and even labeled them. I forgot to slow down some of them though...

I'm gonna try Hey You Pikachu next.

[SubDrag]

Previews corrupted? Shouldn't be, I'll take a look. It saves temporary file and then plays it using WMP. That should be done better anyways.

[SubDrag]

Also I had started a list of ctl vs tbl for N64 games, because a lot aren't necessarily able to load by "best guess", but can load if you put explicit locations. We could start a list.

[lemurboy12]

What does ctl and tbl exactly mean? Control and table?

[Ice Mario]

Previews corrupted? Shouldn't be, I'll take a look. It saves temporary file and then plays it using WMP. That should be done better anyways.

Yes, trying to run it with wmplayer.exe was never a good idea :p I mean who uses that :\

[StarFox]

I use it because it loads almost instantaneously. :I

[lemurboy12]

I'm having a problem. On the computer I'm using, when I try to start it up it says:
"The ordinal 13116 could not be located in the dynamic link library mfc90.dll."
Is there something I'm missing?

[Ice Mario]

Did you get the correct redist package? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

[lemurboy12]

I already downloaded that. It didn't make a difference.

[BobbyTheCat]

I really need to try this. Useful for making videos and such.

[lemurboy12]

Having another problem. Most ROMs I use won't work when I use Open ROM. When I open a ROM with Explicit Ctl/Tbl and fill nothing into the box, it finds a sound bank. But as soon as it finds it, it crashes. Neither this or the MIDI work on the games I need to extract stuff from. It won't even work on DK64!
The only games that I got it to work for are Pokemon Snap and Hey You Pikachu!

[SubDrag]

Using ctl/tbl is an advanced option. You need to find the tbl/ctl yourself instead of the tool guessing. It's likely your games use a non-standard format or at least a different format and will not work with both tools.

HOLY SPIT that's a lot of games.

[cpuHacka101]

It's awesome, but I just have ONE request. I would LOVE if you put in Super Mario 64, because it would be fantastic for replacing some useless instruments, and putting in some good ones, like a decent flute. (All there is at the moment is a PAN flute.) Is there a possibility you could add that?

[SubDrag]

The format is known, but it's semi-tricky. We'll see. I was hoping someone from Mario 64 community had used the open-source to make it...

[cpuHacka101]

Alright. I did take notice, though, that LOZ: Ocarina of time, Mario Kart 64, and Super Mario 64 all have the same format of sequences. I've never actually taken a look at the sound segement data, but it may be a possibily that the 3 games use the same layout?

[SubDrag]

Srip can rip Super Mario 64. For instruments the guys at the mario hacking land have done a music importer, so if it's the same it would work for all of them I guess.

[SvalinnAsgard]

Thanks a lot for this massive update; it is some truly brilliant work.

[SubDrag]

I discovered that all the EAD games share a similar format, which hcs originally figured out, so I can now rip the following games! Same link.

Sweet, thanks! Any chance of importing sounds, though? I tested it, the NLST's (Sound/instrument banks) are all neat. This is alot easier to identify instruments, rather than importing a song with every instrument to test. It would be the best thing ever to be able to replace sounds though. :D

I think it now supports super mario injecting new sounds...give it a whirl...same link

[cpuHacka101]

Wow, very cool! Thanks so much, subdrag... I've already made a few imports from Mario galaxy. Also, I found your post on jul.. This will be very helpful to anyone who wishes to import sounds. Now I suppose they can have a real Luigi in their hack!

[cpuHacka101]

Oh, one thing, though: Whenever I try to replace an instrument, at whatever the size the wav is, when I inject it, I always get the error: "Error tbl too big" Is there any way around that?

[SubDrag]

You have to do it all in one go otherwise subsequent rom imports use smaller max tbl sizes. I should improve that actually so used fixed size. Ill look into that this weekend.

[SubDrag]

If you regrab same link, it should not limit you. But be careful, if you get too big, ROM just won't load ingame, if tbl's too big.

[SubDrag]

Now that I think about it, the reason instruments can't be replaced is that the data is used so many places, so if it's the same, it just offsets pointers once, if you change one, and others are same, it's way more data written. So prob won't help, would have to replace all of them which is not reasonable.

[lemurboy12]

Uh, there's a little problem with Kirby 64. The instruments are fine, but the sound effects are ear-rapingly distorted. Is it the rom? Some sound like exploding TV fuzz, and some sound like they're being played on a radio with really bad reception.

[SubDrag]

Odd? It maybe is your ROM? They both work fine for me.

[SubDrag]

Superman is compressed, but I was able to just let the game decompress it, here's its sound rip. Really uninteresting. It has midi too, not standard format, has the MThd stuff like some other games.

[Knuckles500]

Hey there, me again.

I'm currently messing around with this tool so I can try at creating a soundfont from one of the supported game's samples just for fun. I noticed that some games have samples at different rates, and it seems that N64 Sound Tool sets one rate for all the samples or does it incorrectly. For example, this is the chanting sample from the Fire Temple song in OoT 1.0:

Correct (16000hz)
http://soundcloud.com/smash-adams-1/correct-bank-0a-instr-0001-snd

Incorrect (22000hz)
http://soundcloud.com/smash-adams-1/incorrect-bank-0a-instr-0001

I think some samples that don't play at 22khz play correctly, like maybe the foot steps (which play at 11khz I think) but the tool seems to hit and miss. In most cases, the problem lies with samples that are lower than 22khz. There might even be samples that are 32khz, don't remember.

[SubDrag]

I didn't find a way to get the sampling rate for some games, including all the EAD games such as Zelda. It must be loaded via their code or something, cause it's not in the table from what I can see. So I just hardcoded to 16000, you'll have to go thru em and fix the rate alas. Sometimes within a sound bank in zelda sounds differ as well. Most of the Ctl/Tbl and Turok-style games are fine since rate's included (though some games do vary it), the rest are a fixed rate because I have no idea the real rate.

Heh cool, that chant was removed in 1.1 and 1.2. Nice to hear it.

[SubDrag]

Added 3 more games, thanks to Zoinkity decoding Titus compression - Superman, Roadsters Trophy, and Automobili Lamborghini.

[Derarghi]

You also have to take into account that sometimes they'll import sped up samples to save on space, and then they're played back through the midi engine to slow them to normal speed. So in some cases it may be impossible to nail the correct sample pitch by manually changing its sample rate.

[Knuckles500]

Hey, it's me again.

I think I possibly found another problem with the program.

In the Fire Temple song, there are three voice samples. The bank the Fire Temple uses is BANK 0A, and the Instrument number of the voices are as follows:

0000
0001
0002 (duplicate of 0001 - this program produces A LOT of duplicates of some of the instruments for some reason)
0004 (i think)

Now here's the problem. For some reason, the program isn't extracting 0004. When I go to manually extract the Instrument, it lists the instrument but doesn't extract anything. It doesn't seem to be just this bank in particular either, Bank 03 seems to skip Instrument 09. This might be a problem in other games, at least other SRD games.

Also a bit more game specific. Again with OoT, for some reason almost all of Bank 01 produces garbage noise. Not all of them do though. Not sure if it's a problem with your program or if they point to data that doesn't exist anymore, but I thought I'd bring it to your intention just in case.

I'm currently building a SRD game soundfont. Kinda useless since most of the samples come from really early/cheap sound modules (the ocarina I think came from a E-MU World module, fun fact). But I'm just doing it for fun; already mapped 85 instruments already. Need to do drums though...

But anyway, hope this helps somehow.

PS: Another fun fact, not sure if it's an error in your program. But Bank 18 (Shadow Temple) has the Islamic Fire Temple chant sample (just one of them though). From what I've seen, they did a pretty decent job keeping only the instrument samples needed for the songs in each bank. But they left this sample in the Shadow Temple sound bank for some reason. This is V1.0, btw.

[SubDrag]

I must admit, I never found a way to fix bank 01. It seems like there was something odd going on, I think they're all valid sounds but I never could figure out what made some work and others not.

On Bank 0A, instrument 04 isn't present. It's not a bug, just a null pointers in-game instead of an instrument (00000000) offset.

The reason some instruments repeat many times is that it actually is in there that many times, but different volumes. I don't think I show volume though, so it's not that useful.

That is odd bank 18 has that chant too, but I guess it does. It points to the same offset: 0036C840 as with the other chants, so barring changing some of parameters by sound to make it sound radically different (like pitch, volume, etc), guess it bizarrely is the same. Maybe it's used, maybe not. Even more interesting is that version 1.2 still has this chant in bank 18 ;) But not in 0A.

I must admit, I never found a way to fix bank 01. It seems like there was something odd going on, I think they're all valid sounds but I never could figure out what made some work and others not.

On Bank 0A, instrument 04 isn't present. It's not a bug, just a null pointers in-game instead of an instrument (00000000) offset.

Hmm, but the thing is - there really is a sample missing when I rip the sounds from the 0A bank. It's difficult to explain what exactly it is/what's being said, but if you listen to this at 1:37:

The sample that starts playing that's panned to the left isn't in the extracted samples for the bank. I've looked everywhere for it and I can't find it. I can only find two of what's being played. :\

edit: I checked the Shadow Temple just to see if maybe they snuck the chant somewhere in the song and I think they actually did, it's just playing way below the root key it was assigned so it plays really really slow (it also seems that it only plays the first half second of the sample, kinda like what the Fire Temple does initially). I was able to experiment with the sample with my soundfont and it seems like it's being used at :55 here:

Pretty sneaky of them.

The instrument offset is definitely 00000000 for sound 4, I breakpointed and checked, so I have no idea why some are missing unfortunately. So not sure alas.

Ah cool, yeah you can't even notice the chant.

I was also puzzled about the fire temple chants. I can't seem to put my finger on it. I've manged to recreate the chanting but I can't seem to get the chant that is panned left. I'm wondering it if really is missing.

Here is my soundfont if anyone wants it:

Any chance of seeing support for BT/DK64 in the near future? Or are we still unsure about the way sound is stored in those two?

[SubDrag]

Ice Mario pointed me to where BT was stored, but it's in a vastly different format or encrypted or something.

[Tee-Hee]

I assume DK64 uses a similar format, then D:

[cpuHacka101]

I was going to ask the same thing. Didn't DK64 have something in common with BK? Maybe I am just thinking sequences..

Army Men Air Combat and Sarge's Heroes added thanks to Zoinkity's hard work breaking its compression!

This version does'nt support Super Mario 64, and i can't import .WAV files into the ROM.
Can you please upload the version shown in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=majxJVoFPZI

I'm so sorry SubDrag! I did'nt check the the "Open Known ROM" list carefully. But i have only ONE last question. When i click on "Import 16-bit VADPCM Wav" to import sound, it turns out very bad and crackling in the game, but the .Wav files i import are 22050 Hz and 16-bit, so it shouldn't be so bad quality.
Can you help me?

[SubDrag]

Unfortunately predictor algorithms are still unknown, so it hardcodes it and sounds pretty bad.

[presstartoplay]

Then i wonder how CPUHacka get his voice clips to work with so good quality in his ROM.
