Does GC have its own form of PSF? I know that the GameBoy Advance has GSF and the Dreamcast has DSF (as well as the PS2 having PSF2), but I've never come across any mention of a GC PSF variant.

I wish I knew. I know next to nothing about how Gamecube games store their sounds. The only thing I know is that it's an ADPCM format.

I don’t know either, nor do I know how to implement whatever code is needed to decode them. I would wager it would be the ADX format. Try that first, and see what happens.

P.S. Somebody else has commented on your thread on XeNTax: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=12493.


“the script can unpack, PC, and GC version, of .DAT files
but the .DAT files contain any extension for files

i have discover an other guy who's working around those formats:

I doubt it would the reply underneath your next reply was any helpful, but I thought I should let you know about it.

The sounds from that game are already extracted.

Rogue Squadron II and III are coded differently, but are largely the same in the way they store their sound. I KNOW it is possible
to decode the audio from RSII into one long WAV file. The same was possible with the original Rogue Squadron on PC. I just
can't implement the decoding parameters into a general extractor.

Yes, I am well aware of that. It seems that this person is not as aware of it.

I don’t know if this is a good idea, or if you have thought of it before, but what if you uploaded what you have now, or uploaded screenshots or videos on your progress and how you got there, maybe people can overlook it and offer greater pieces of advice. What do you think?
