- Nice. Thanks for this one. This one's line-in, right?
- Great! by Gedankenschild at 3:05 PM EDT on August 21, 2009
- Prime Blue, you're my hero (and your assistant Bob, of course)!
I always found the sound quality of the box version distracting. This is so much better (and so complete), thanks a lot!!
But how did you do it...

- Bathetic file swapping. Anyone could do it if he were not a lazy bum.

- (???)

- Meaning: It's tedious and requires about ten hours of one's time along with some effort.

- I see. I looked up the word "bathetic" (not a native english speaker) but couldn't make sense of "Bathetic file swapping" anyway... :D
The effort includes some tools to make the music play without SFX/speech, I would assume?

- Not necessarily. Most likely, yes, but if you're swapping files around, then theoretically all you have to do is find a section in the game where there are no sound effects, people talking, or any of that. That way, all that's playing is the music. Once you find a section like that, then you need to find what file/song is played in that section (and what instruments are needed for that file/song to play, in case of a sequenced game), and move and rename files accordingly. This way, the song you want to record/listen to is played at that point, instead of the file that's supposed to be played at that point.
So no, it is not required that such a tool exists, but it would certainly make things a lot easier, if you have one. Mouser X over and out.

- Gedankenschild, many thanks for your update to the Official Streamed VGM Distribution Thread! I always thought the BRSARs contained only sound effects and thus never checked them, but all of the background music is also included in those. There are still three SND files on the original disc, alongside with the different PAL version tracks ["Unused Track 4 (PAL Version)"/sg35_50 is actually the same track as "Unused Track 4"/sg35, just played at a different pitch/tempo, and will thus be omitted] that do not have a streamed pendant in the Wii version, but the RWAVs seem to have better quality, due to my line-in rips not being captured from a digital port. Expect an update that will replace the inferior recordings with the RWAVs soon.
Also, Mouser X got it right. I recorded from the save room near the east stairs (where Bob was lying around), swapping other tracks with "Save Theme" (sg31). The sound effects can be disabled from the menu (however, there are specific sound effects in other rooms that are classified as music due to their being SND files, such as the clock in the dining room).
EDIT: It seems at least one of the environment music RWAVs begins after the first loop of the original SND file ("Underground"/sg1b). And there are the usual clicks at the loop points of many RWAVs. Lazy sound staffs, maybe CAPCOM should outsource the loop points to us.

- Ah, now I finally got it! Thanks Mouser X and Prime Blue!
I have to say the idea is as brilliant as it is simple (in theory, at least).
Finding those streams on the disc surprised me, too. I had checked the wii REmake disc before and only found the original sequences there...
Glad if I could help and give something back this way! :)
"Replace the inferior recordings"? I must have really missed something - did you already release a Game Rip for bio0? Is it in your Gamingforce thread? I can't get access to that site! Tried to register but got a message saying my email address is blocked... Never been there before - I did nothing wrong! Wrote the admin about it but didn't hear anything yet...
