Guide for Extracting FM Synth Presets of Sega Genesis 2 | 3 | This article explains some methods useful for viewing or dumping FM synthsis parameters (i.e. register values) of Sega Genesis sound chips. 4 | 5 | This article covers the methods for YM2612 (aka. OPN2, the FM synth chip of Genesis), but some of informations can apply to SN76489 (the DCSG chip) too. 6 | 7 | * Dump VGM file by [Kega Fusion](http://segaretro.org/Kega_Fusion) 8 | * Extract instrument presets from VGM file by [vgm2pre](https://vgmrips.net/wiki/Vgm2pre) 9 | * Play VGM file and mute channels by [foo_input_vgm](https://vgmrips.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5638#p5638) 10 | * Convert VGM file into Genesis ROM by [VGMPlayer](http://www.smspower.org/maxim/SMSSoftware/VGMPlayer) 11 | * View register values in real-time with [Exodus](http://www.exodusemulator.com/) 12 | 13 | ## Dump VGM file by Kega Fusion 14 | 15 | [Kega Fusion](http://segaretro.org/Kega_Fusion), a good Genesis emulator, is able to log sound during the game play as [VGM file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGM_(file_format)). 16 | 17 | ![Kega Fusion Screenshot](images/Guide_for_Extracting_FM_Synth_Presets_of_Sega_Genesis_01.png) 18 | 19 | If you want to read a detailed ripping guide, see [Project2612 ripping tutorial](https://vgmrips.net/wiki/Project2612_ripping_tutorial). 20 | 21 | ## Extract instrument presets from VGM file by vgm2pre 22 | 23 | [vgm2pre](https://vgmrips.net/wiki/Vgm2pre) is a small tool for extracting instrument presets from VGM file. 24 | 25 | ![VGM2Pre Screenshot](images/Guide_for_Extracting_FM_Synth_Presets_of_Sega_Genesis_02.png) 26 | 27 | There are various formats for an instrument preset. Output file format can be chosen from Preferences window (Tools › Preferences). 28 | 29 | ![VGM2Pre Preferences Screenshot](images/Guide_for_Extracting_FM_Synth_Presets_of_Sega_Genesis_03.png) 30 | 31 | [TFI](https://vgmrips.net/wiki/TFI_File_Format) is prefered for [FMDrive from Aly James Lab](http://www.alyjameslab.com/alyjameslabfmdrive.html). Please choose the one that suits your goal. 32 | 33 | By pressing Dump button, the output file will be saved. You can load the file by a proper tool or VST plugin, or view it by hex viewer, since the TFI file format is quite simple. 34 | 35 | ## Play VGM file and mute channels 36 | 37 | I prefer to use [foobar2000](http://www.foobar2000.org/) with [foo_input_vgm](https://vgmrips.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5638#p5638). You are able to mute certain channels from Preferences panel. 38 | 39 | ![foo_input_vgm Chips Options Screenshot](images/Guide_for_Extracting_FM_Synth_Presets_of_Sega_Genesis_04.png) 40 | 41 | If you want to try other ones, see [VGM Players \- vgmrips](https://vgmrips.net/wiki/VGM_Players). 42 | 43 | ## Convert VGM file into Genesis ROM by VGM Player 44 | 45 | [VGMPlayer](http://www.smspower.org/maxim/SMSSoftware/VGMPlayer) allows you to convert the VGM log into a music player ROM. 46 | 47 | ![VGMPlayer Startup Window Screenshot](images/Guide_for_Extracting_FM_Synth_Presets_of_Sega_Genesis_05.png) 48 | 49 | Main window will appears by pressing the ROM Builder button. 50 | 51 | ![VGMPlayer Main Window Screenshot](images/Guide_for_Extracting_FM_Synth_Presets_of_Sega_Genesis_06.png) 52 | 53 | Add VGM files by the Add Tracks button first, then press Build Rom button, and a file named vgmPlay.bin will be saved. That is the converted ROM image. 54 | 55 | ## View register values in real-time with Exodus 56 | 57 | Sometimes you might want to view register values in real-time. [Exodus](http://www.exodusemulator.com/), an awesome emulator features a lot of debugger functions, is able to display the sound register values in real-time. 58 | 59 | Open a ROM and the YM2612 debugger (from the menu, Debug › Mega Drive › YM2612), then you will see register values there. 60 | 61 | ![Exodus Screenshot](images/Guide_for_Extracting_FM_Synth_Presets_of_Sega_Genesis_07.png) 62 | 63 | ## Credits 64 | 65 | 99% of this article is the translation from the following [gocha](https://github.com/gocha)'s article. I appreciate it very much. 66 | 67 | [メガドライブの音源の音色設定（レジスタ値）を確認・ダンプする](http://gocha.hatenablog.com/entry/How_To_Dump_Genesis_YM2612_Registers) 68 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Summary_of_GBA_Standard_Sound_Driver_MusicPlayer2000.ja-JP.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # GBA 標準サウンドドライバ（MusicPlayer2000）の概要 2 | 3 | 任天堂のゲームボーイアドバンスのSDKには、ゲームで音楽や効果音を鳴らすためのサウンドドライバライブラリが添付されています。 4 | このドライバは公式には AGB MusicPlayer2000 あるいは m4a と称されており、しばしば非公式に Sappy という名前でも呼ばれます。（以降は MP2k と称します） 5 | 6 | 必然的に、MP2k は（とくに日本国内でリリースされた）非常に多くのゲームで使用されています。 7 | また、古くから多くの人々によって解析されてきたため、とても多くの解析情報やツールが存在します。 8 | 9 | 本記事では MP2k への深い説明はしませんが、MP2k の概要と詳細を知るための各種リソースを紹介します。 10 | 11 | [English version](Summary_of_GBA_Standard_Sound_Driver_MusicPlayer2000.md) 12 | 13 | ## MusicPlayer2000 の仕様概要 14 | 15 | ほとんどあらゆることは以下のドキュメントで説明されています。 16 | 17 | [Romhacking.net - Documents - GBA "Sappy" sound engine information](https://www.romhacking.net/documents/462/) 18 | 19 | 主な説明をまとめると MP2k は次の特徴を持ちます。 20 | 21 | * ソフトウェア合成によるPCMサウンド（DirectSound）＋GB互換サウンドが使用可能 22 | * PCMサウンド（DirectSound） 23 | * 再生周波数は 5734 ～ 42048 Hz の間で選択可能（デフォルトは 13379 Hz） 24 | * チャンネル数は 1～12 の間で選択可能（デフォルトは 8） 25 | * インストゥルメントごとの ADSR 設定が可能（8-bit） 26 | * 線形補間ありのリサンプリング 27 | * ディレイ固定の単純なリバーブ（エコー）エフェクトを搭載 28 | * ミキサーの処理速度や出力品質はあまり良くない（遅い、量子化ノイズが多いなどの問題があります。詳細は上記ドキュメントを参照） 29 | * GB互換サウンド 30 | * 矩形波×2 ＋ 波形メモリ×1 ＋ ノイズ×1 31 | * データフォーマット 32 | * MIDI/AIFF ファイルをアセンブリ（*.s）にコンバートし、GBA ROM をビルドする 33 | * シーケンスデータは SMF Format 1 のようなマルチトラックフォーマット（分解能は 24） 34 | * サンプルデータは無圧縮の符号つき 8-bit PCM（Microsoft Wave とは符号が逆なので注意） 35 | * BGM と SFX の区別はない。すべてのサウンドはシーケンス＋バンクの組み合わせで構成される 36 | 37 | じつは、この標準サウンドドライバはシステムROM（BIOS）にも実装されています。ただし、MP2k ドライバがバグ修正や改良を加えた互換ドライバとしてリリースされた都合上、それらのシステム関数は実際の商用ゲームでは基本的に使用されていません。GBA の BIOS 関数については、[GBATEK](https://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm) を参照してください。 38 | 39 | ## バージョン＆バリエーション 40 | 41 | 知る限りでは、MP2k には次の標準的なバリエーションが存在します: 42 | 43 | |説明 |使用ゲーム例 | 44 | |------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------| 45 | |古いバージョン (めったに使われない) |桃太郎まつり, ぼくは航空管制官 | 46 | |ステレオ版 |悪魔城ドラキュラ: Circle of the Moon | 47 | |モノラル版 |キャッスルヴァニア: 白夜の協奏曲＆暁月の円舞曲 | 48 | |新しいバージョン? |ロックマンEXE5, ぷよぷよフィーバー, マザー3 | 49 | 50 | 注: ここでは、マイナーバージョンの小さな相違点は同一と見なします。 51 | 52 | また、いくつかのゲームでは MP2k を改善・拡張した互換ドライバが使用されています。 53 | 54 | * ポケットモンスターシリーズ（圧縮サンプルを扱える） 55 | * 黄金の太陽など、株式会社キャメロットによって開発されたタイトル 56 | * メトロイドフュージョン、メトロイドゼロミッション 57 | * など 58 | 59 | ## MusicPlayer2000 ドライバ関数の基本利用 60 | 61 | 基本的には 4 つの関数を使用して動作します。 62 | 63 | まずは初期化ルーチンで m4aSoundInit 関数を呼び出し、サウンドを初期化します。 64 | 65 | ```c 66 | void m4aSoundInit(void);

Instead, this article introduces you an overview of MP2k and various resources to learn more. 10 | 11 | [日本語で読む](Summary_of_GBA_Standard_Sound_Driver_MusicPlayer2000.ja-JP.md) 12 | 13 | ## MusicPlayer2000 Specifications Overview 14 | 15 | Almost everything is explained in the following document: 16 | 17 | [Romhacking.net - Documents - GBA "Sappy" sound engine information](https://www.romhacking.net/documents/462/) 18 | 19 | To summarize the main explanation MP2k has the following features. 20 | 21 | * Software-synthesized PCM sound (DirectSound) + Gameboy compatible sound available 22 | * PCM sound (DirectSound) 23 | * Playback frequency is selectable between 5734 Hz and 42048 Hz (default is 13379 Hz) 24 | * The number of channels is selectable between 1 and 12 (default is 8) 25 | * ADSR is configurable per instrument (resolution is 8-bit) 26 | * Resampling with linear interpolation 27 | * Equipped with a simple reverb (echo) effect with fixed delay 28 | * The processing speed and output quality of the mixer are not very good (refer to the above-mentioned document for details) 29 | * Gameboy compatible sound 30 | * 2 square waves + 1 programmable waveform + 1 noise 31 | * Data format 32 | * Convert MIDI / AIFF file to assembly (*.s) and build GBA ROM 33 | * Sequences are multitrack format like SMF Format 1 (PPQN is 24) 34 | * Samples are uncompressed 8-bit PCM (note that they have the opposite sign to Microsoft Wave) 35 | * There is no distinction between BGM and SFX. All sounds consist of sequence + bank combinations 36 | 37 | In fact, this standard sound driver is also implemented in the System ROM (BIOS). However, those system functions are almost never used in actual commercial games, because the MP2k driver has been released as a compatible driver with bugfixes and improvements. See [GBATEK](https://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm) for GBA BIOS functions. 38 | 39 | ## Versions and variations 40 | 41 | As far as I know, MP2k has the following standard variations: 42 | 43 | |Description |Example of games using the driver | 44 | |---------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| 45 | |Older version (very rarely used) |Momotarou Matsuri, Boku wa Koukuu Kanseikan | 46 | |Stereo version |Castlevania: Circle of the Moon | 47 | |Mono version |Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow | 48 | |Newer version? |Mega Man Battle Network 5, Puyo Pop Fever, Mother 3 | 49 | 50 | Note: Minor version differences are considered identical here. 51 | 52 | Also, some games use compatible drivers that improve and extend MP2k. 53 | 54 | * Pokemon Series (uses compressed samples) 55 | * Games developed by Camelot, Inc., such as the Golden Sun 56 | * Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission 57 | * etc. 58 | 59 | ## Basic use of MusicPlayer2000 driver functions 60 | 61 | The driver basically works with 4 functions. 62 | 63 | First, the m4aSoundInit function must be called in the initialization routine to initialize the sound. 64 | 65 | ```c 66 | void m4aSoundInit(void); 67 | ``` 68 | 69 | The VBlank interrupt handler must call the m4aSoundVSync function immediately after the interrupt. 70 | 71 | ```c 72 | void m4aSoundVSync(void); 73 | ``` 74 | 75 | The m4aSoundMain function must be called by main routine in every frame (approximately every 1/60 of a second). 76 | 77 | ```c 78 | void m4aSoundMain(void); 79 | ``` 80 | 81 | Lastly, call the m4aSongNumStart function with a song number to start playing. 82 | 83 | ```c 84 | void m4aSongNumStart(u16 n); 85 | ``` 86 | 87 | The addresses of these functions can usually be detected with saptapper, an automated ripping tool for MP2k. 88 | 89 | [loveemu/saptapper: Automated GSF ripper](https://github.com/loveemu/saptapper) 90 | 91 | Internally, when a song starts playing through these functions, the sound driver stores information about the playback, into an instance of music player. Usually, a game has more than one music player instances on memory. One is used for music and the other ones are used for SFXs and such, typically. The instance of the music player to play a song is determined by its song header. 92 | 93 | ## ROM / RAM data map 94 | 95 | ![MusicPlayer2000 ROM/RAM Data Map](images/m4a_data_diagram.png) 96 | 97 | See [m4a_internal.h](https://github.com/pret/pokeruby/blob/master/include/gba/m4a_internal.h) and [sappy.txt](https://www.romhacking.net/documents/462/) for more informations. 98 | 99 | ## List of commands of MusicPlayer2000 sequence 100 | 101 | The table below shows a list of MP2k sequence commands. 102 | 103 | In principle, most of 1-byte arguments are values in the range 0 to 127, and values greater than 0x80 are not used. 104 | 105 | |Command |Symbol |Parameters |Repeatable |Description | 106 | |-------------|-----------|----------------------------------------|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 107 | |0x00 ～ 0x7F |n/a |n/a |Yes |Repeat previous repeatable command using the command byte as first argument | 108 | |0x80 ～ 0xB0 |W00 ～ W96 |void |No |Delta-time (Wait) | 109 | |0xB1 |FINE |void |No |Track end | 110 | |0xB2 |GOTO |u32 dest |No |Jump to specified address (absolute hardware address like 0x8XXXXXX) | 111 | |0xB3 |PATT |u32 dest |No |Pattern start (subroutine jump, cannot be nested) | 112 | |0xB4 |PEND |void |No |Pattern end | 113 | |0xB5 |REPT |u8 count, u32 dest |No |Repeat pattern (the valid range for the repeat count is 0-255) | 114 | |0xB9 |MEMACC |u8 mem_set, u8 adr, u8 dat [, u32 dest] |No |Memory access (used for dynamic conditional jumps; details below) | 115 | |0xBA |PRIO |u8 |No |Priority of track (0-255, the higher the value, the higher priority) | 116 | |0xBB |TEMPO |u8 |No |Tempo, specify half the value of BPM (11-255, 1 frame = 1 tick in case of tempo 75) | 117 | |0xBC |KEYSH |s8 |No |Transpose (-128-127, per-track transpose) | 118 | |0xBD |VOICE |u8 |Yes |Instrument | 119 | |0xBE |VOL |u8 |Yes |Volume | 120 | |0xBF |PAN |u8 |Yes |Pan (0: left, 64: center, 127: right) | 121 | |0xC0 |BEND |u8 |Yes |Pitch bend (0-127, center is 64) | 122 | |0xC1 |BENDR |u8 |Yes |Pitch bend range (specified in semitones, default is 2) | 123 | |0xC2 |LFOS |u8 |No |LFO speed (higher values are faster, actual speed fluctuates with tempo) | 124 | |0xC3 |LFODL |u8 |No |LFO delay (specified in ticks) | 125 | |0xC4 |MOD |u8 |Yes |LFO depth | 126 | |0xC5 |MODT |u8 |No |LFO type (0: pitch (default), 1: volume, 2: pan) | 127 | |0xC8 |TUNE |u8 |Yes |Micro-tuning (0: one semitone lower, 64: normal: 127: one semitone higher） | 128 | |0xCD 0x08 |XCMD xIECV |u8 |Yes |Pseudo-echo volume (0-127) | 129 | |0xCD 0x09 |XCMD xIECL |u8 |Yes |Pseudo-echo length (0-127, specified in frame counts (i.e. xx/60 seconds)) | 130 | |0xCE |EOT |[u8 key] |Yes |Tie end / Note off | 131 | |0xCF |TIE |[u8 key [, u8 velo]] |Yes |Tie / Note on (note length is undeterminated until the 0xCE command appears) | 132 | |0xD0 ～ 0xFF |N01 ～ N96 |[u8 key [, u8 velo [, u8 gtp]]] |Yes |Note (the third argument is for fine adjustment of gate time, specified in ticks) | 133 | 134 | ### Note 135 | 136 | The Wxx command (0x80 to 0xB0) and the Nxx command (0xD0 to 0xFF) represent lengths from 1 to 96.

This command is rarely used. 149 | 150 | This command basically takes three arguments, except that the conditional branch instruction specifies the branch destination address as the fourth argument. 151 | 152 | ```asm 153 | @ for arithmetic operations 154 | MEMACC, mem_set, adr, dat 155 | 156 | @ for branching instructions 157 | MEMACC, mem_set, adr, dat, dest 158 | ``` 159 | 160 | Specify the type of operation with mem_set, and specify the arguments of the operation with adr and dat (0-255). 161 | 162 | Specify one of the following values for mem_set: 163 | 164 | |Value |Symbol |Description |Pseudo syntax | 165 | |------|------------|-----------------------------------------|------------------------------| 166 | |0 |mem_set |Assign (Immediate) |`$adr = #dat` | 167 | |1 |mem_add |Add (Immediate) |`$adr += #dat` | 168 | |2 |mem_sub |Subtract (Immediate) |`$adr -= #dat` | 169 | |3 |mem_mem_set |Assign (Indirect) |`$adr = $dat` | 170 | |4 |mem_mem_add |Add (Indirect) |`$adr += $dat` | 171 | |5 |mem_mem_sub |Subtract (Indirect) |`$adr -= $dat` | 172 | |6 |mem_beq |Branch if equal (Immediate) |`if ($adr == #dat) goto dest` | 173 | |7 |mem_bne |Brnach if not equal (Immediate) |`if ($adr != #dat) goto dest` | 174 | |8 |mem_bhi |Branch if higher (Immediate) |`if ($adr > #dat) goto dest` | 175 | |9 |mem_bhs |Branch if higher or the same (Immediate) |`if ($adr >= #dat) goto dest` | 176 | |10 |mem_bls |Branch if lower of the same (Immediate) |`if ($adr <= #dat) goto dest` | 177 | |11 |mem_blo |Branch if lower (Immediate) |`if ($adr < #dat) goto dest` | 178 | |12 |mem_mem_beq |Branch if equal (Indirect) |`if ($adr == $dat) goto dest` | 179 | |13 |mem_mem_bne |Brnach if not equal (Indirect) |`if ($adr != $dat) goto dest` | 180 | |14 |mem_mem_bhi |Branch if higher (Indirect) |`if ($adr > $dat) goto dest` | 181 | |15 |mem_mem_bhs |Branch if higher or the same (Indirect) |`if ($adr >= $dat) goto dest` | 182 | |16 |mem_mem_bls |Branch if lower of the same (Indirect) |`if ($adr <= $dat) goto dest` | 183 | |17 |mem_mem_blo |Branch if lower (Indirect) |`if ($adr < $dat) goto dest` | 184 | 185 | ## List of known functions 186 | 187 | ```c 188 | void m4aSoundVSync(void); 189 | void m4aSoundInit(void); 190 | void m4aSoundMode(u32 mode); 191 | void m4aSoundMain(void); 192 | void m4aSongNumStart(u16 n); 193 | void m4aMPlayStart(MusicPlayerArea *ma, SongHeader *so); 194 | void m4aSongNumStartOrChange(u16 n); 195 | void m4aSongNumStartOrContinue(u16 n); 196 | void m4aSongNumStop(u16 n); 197 | void m4aMPlayStop(MusicPlayerArea *ma); 198 | void m4aSongNumContinue(u16 n); 199 | void m4aMPlayAllStop(void); 200 | void m4aMPlayContinue(MusicPlayerArea *ma); 201 | void m4aMPlayAllContinue(void); 202 | void m4aMPlayFadeOut(MusicPlayerArea *ma, u16 sp); 203 | void m4aMPlayImmInit(MusicPlayerArea *ma); 204 | void m4aSoundVSyncOff(void); 205 | void m4aSoundVSyncOn(void); 206 | void m4aMPlayTempoControl(MusicPlayerArea *ma, u16 te); 207 | void m4aMPlayVolumeControl(MusicPlayerArea *ma, u16 tb, u16 vo); 208 | void m4aMPlayPitchControl(MusicPlayerArea *ma, u16 tb, s16 pi); 209 | void m4aMPlayPanpotControl(MusicPlayerArea *ma, u16 tb, s8 pa); 210 | void m4aMPlayModDepthSet(MusicPlayerArea *ma, u16 tb, u8 md); 211 | void m4aMPlayLFOSpeedSet(MusicPlayerArea *ma, u16 tb, u8 ls); 212 | ``` 213 | 214 | ## Documents 215 | 216 | [Romhacking.net - Documents - GBA "Sappy" sound engine information](https://www.romhacking.net/documents/462/) (by Bregalad, ipatix) 217 | 218 | ## Tools and Source Codes 219 | 220 | * [ipatix/agbplay: Music player for the most common GBA sound format](https://github.com/ipatix/agbplay) 221 | * Music player for PC that can play MP2k format (LGPLv3) 222 | * The source code will be helpful in understanding the driver (see StreamGenerator.cpp for sequence parser) 223 | * ipatix is one of the prominent MP2k analysts, and his github also has other MP2k tools such as m4a2s, midi2agb and wav2agb.

Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License. 78 | 79 | 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties. 80 | 81 | ### Section 3 – License Conditions. 82 | 83 | Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions. 84 | 85 | a. ___Attribution.___ 86 | 87 | 1.

For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information. 106 | 107 | 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable. 108 | 109 | b. ___ShareAlike.___ 110 | 111 | In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply. 112 | 113 | 1.

You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. 128 | 129 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights. 130 | 131 | ### Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability. 132 | 133 | a. __Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable.

Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.__ 136 | 137 | c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability. 138 | 139 | ### Section 6 – Term and Termination. 140 | 141 | a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically. 142 | 143 | b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates: 144 | 145 | 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or 146 | 147 | 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. 148 | 149 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License. 150 | 151 | c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License. 152 | 153 | d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License. 154 | 155 | ### Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions. 156 | 157 | a.

If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions. 166 | 167 | c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor. 168 | 169 | d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority. 170 | 171 | > Creative Commons is not a party to its public licenses.

107 | 108 | ## SNES / Super Famicom 109 | 110 | There are two music formats for SNES. Most games are ripped as [SPC](http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=SPC) format. Some other undumpable games are ripped as [SNSF](http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=SNSF) format. 99% of tools accept SPC files as input. 111 | 112 | SPC file can be converted to ROM by [SPC2ROM](https://alpha-ii.com/Download/MainOld.html) command-line tool. SNSF file can be turned back to ROM by [snsfopt](https://github.com/loveemu/snsfopt) command-line tool. 113 | 114 | 115 | 116 | 117 | 118 | 119 | 120 | 121 | 122 | 123 | 124 | 125 | 126 | 127 | 128 | 129 | 130 | 131 | 132 | 133 | 134 | 135 | 136 | 137 | 138 | 139 | 140 | 141 | 142 | 143 | 144 | 145 | 146 | 147 | 148 | 149 | 150 | 151 |

The music parsers are ported to VGMTrans, with some heuristic-based music engine detection.

233 | 234 | ## Game Boy Advance 235 | 236 | Most of GBA games uses a standard music engine named MusicPlayer2000 (also known as Sappy) developed by Nintendo. Detailed informations are available at the [Bregalad's guide](http://www.romhacking.net/docs/462/) (and also explained well in the official SDK). 237 | 238 | However, MP2000 is not the only sound driver of GBA. Some games use a custom driver based on MP2000 (Metroid Fusion, Golden Sun, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga for example), some other games use a completely different driver such as [GAX](https://www.shinen.com/music/music.php3?gax) (by Shin'En), MusyX (by Factor 5), [Krawall](https://github.com/sebknzl/krawall), SCM3LT, etc. 239 | 240 | [GSF](http://www.caitsith2.com/gsf/) is a portable sound format for GBA. GSF contains a GBA ROM image with an extra header data. GSF can be turned back to GBA ROM by [saptapper](https://github.com/loveemu/saptapper), or you can also use VGMTrans if you don't like a command-line tool. 241 | 242 | 243 | 244 | 245 | 246 | 247 | 248 | 249 | 250 | 251 | 252 | 253 | 254 | 255 | 256 | 257 | 258 | 259 | 260 | 261 | 262 | 263 | 264 | 265 | 266 | 267 | 268 | 269 | 270 | 271 | 272 | 273 | 274 | 275 | 276 | 277 | 278 | 279 | 280 | 281 | 282 | 283 | 284 | 285 | 286 | 287 | 288 |

406 | 407 | ## Nintendo DS 408 | 409 | [SDAT](http://dshack.wikia.com/wiki/.sdat) is the standard archive file format for the official Nitro Composer framework developed by Nintendo. The following file formats can be found in the game that uses Nitro Composer. 410 | 411 | * Nintendo DS (Nitro Composer) 412 | - [SDAT](http://dshack.wikia.com/wiki/.sdat): Nitro Composer Sound Archive 413 | - [STRM](http://dshack.wikia.com/wiki/.strm): Nitro Composer SDAT Audio Stream 414 | - [SBNK](http://dshack.wikia.com/wiki/.sbnk): Nitro Composer SDAT Sound Bank File 415 | - [SWAR](http://dshack.wikia.com/wiki/.swar): Nitro Composer SDAT Wave Archive 416 | - SWAV: Nitro Composer Wave File 417 | - [SSEQ](http://dshack.wikia.com/wiki/.sseq): Nitro Composer SDAT Sound Sequence 418 | - SSAR: Nitro Composer SDAT Sound Sequence Archive (collection for sound effect) 419 | 420 | Unlike GBA, DS games have a filesystem in ROM. If you want to explorer and extract files in DS ROM, there are so many tools to do that. I personally prefer [Tinke](https://github.com/pleonex/tinke), an advanced viewer and editor for files of NDS games, or [ndstool](https://gbatemp.net/download/nintendo-ds-rom-tool-ndstool.29352/) if you prefer CLI. 421 | 422 | [2SF](http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=2SF) is the portable sound format for Nintendo DS. As usual, 2SF contains a DS ROM image with an extra header data. 2SF can be turned back to DS ROM by [2sf2rom](https://github.com/loveemu/2sf2rom), or you can also use VGMTrans if you don't like a command-line tool. 423 | 424 | [NCSF](http://www.cyberbotx.com/NCSF/) is another PSF format specialized to Nitro Composer. NCSF contains a SDAT file with no extra header. You can turn an NCSF back to SDAT by xSF2EXE tool of [VGMToolbox](https://sourceforge.net/projects/vgmtoolbox/). 425 | 426 | ### SDAT Tools 427 | 428 | 429 | 430 | 431 | 432 | 433 | 434 | 435 | 436 | 437 | 438 | 439 | 440 | 441 | 442 | 443 | 444 | 445 | 446 | 447 | 448 | 449 | 450 | 451 | 452 | 453 | 454 | 455 | 456 | 457 | 458 | 459 | 460 | 461 | 462 | 463 | 464 | 465 |

553 | 554 | ## Genesis / Mega Drive 555 | 556 | [VGM format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGM_\(file_format\)) is widely used for logging Genesis sound.

594 | 595 | ## Playstation 596 | 597 | In-game sound data formats of Playstation are very PC-friendly. Usually, they are designed to be self-contained, so a song set or a sound bank can be extracted as a single file. 598 | 599 | Sony designed standard music format for Playstation. SEQ for music sequence, and VAB for sound banks. VAB is often represented as separate two files, VH (header) and VB (body). SEQ/VAB are widely used, but there are some other formats designed by each developer companies are used as well. 600 | 601 | The data is stored in CD-ROM. You can explore files by PC and you may find a music file so easily, if you are fortunate. Sometimes the data may be archived or compressed. In this case, it will be harder to identify the music data. 602 | 603 | [PSF](http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=PSF) is a portable sound format for Playstation. PSF represents a single PS-X EXE. Uncompressed PS-X EXE can be extracted by xSF2EXE tool of [VGMToolbox](https://sourceforge.net/projects/vgmtoolbox/). 604 | 605 | ### How To Find Music Data 606 | 607 | The easiest first step is to drop a PSF file into [VGMTrans](https://github.com/vgmtrans/vgmtrans). It doesn't always work, but it's a good starting point. The next recommendation is to try PSF Data Finder of [VGMToolbox](https://sourceforge.net/projects/vgmtoolbox/), which has more powerful VH/VB search than VGMTrans. 608 | 609 | If no results are given, you may need to save an intermediate dump file which contains the raw sound data, then scan sound files from the file (I will introduce scanning tools later). Here's some example methods for saving the raw dump. 610 | 611 | * Decompress PSF by xSF2EXE tool of VGMToolbox (easy) 612 | * Save a whole RAM image by PS1 emulator, such as [XEBRA](http://drhell.web.fc2.com/ps1/) or [BizHawk](http://tasvideos.org/BizHawk.html) (especially effective for compressed formats) 613 | * Save a whole RAM image by PSF player (requires external memory viewer tool?) 614 | 615 | If all the steps above are not effective, probably you will need an advanced research specific to the game. 616 | 617 | ### Tools 618 | 619 | 620 | 621 | 622 | 623 | 624 | 625 | 626 | 627 | 628 | 629 | 630 | 631 | 632 | 633 | 634 | 635 | 636 | 637 | 638 | 639 | 640 | 641 | 642 | 643 | 644 | 645 | 646 | 647 | 648 | 649 | 650 | 651 | 652 | 653 | 654 | 655 | 656 | 657 | 658 | 659 | 660 | 661 | 662 | 663 | 664 | 665 | 666 | 667 | 668 | 669 | 670 | 671 | 672 | 673 | 674 | 675 | 676 | 677 | 678 | 679 | 680 | 681 | 682 | 683 | 684 | 685 | 686 | 687 | 688 | 689 | 690 | 691 | 692 | 693 | 694 | 695 | 696 | 697 | 698 | 699 | 700 | 701 | 702 | 703 | 704 | 705 | 706 | 707 | 708 | 709 | 710 |
