SF2 is a more open standard with FOSS editors and players, and is significantly more popular. Isn't it a better idea to write a SF2 exporter?

I utilize a program called Awave Studio to easily extract each instrument from a .DLS into individual .SF2 files for use in FL Studio. I'm fine with
.DLS or .SF2, doesn't really make a difference to me.

Which...
Costs money.

True, SF2 would be a better alternative, it just seemed that .DLS might be more similar to the way RSII's music banks are formatted.

Here's the tool:

Let me know if you have any problems
Is it possible to do this with the PC version of the first Rogue Squadron?
The sound effects are stored in a data.dat file just like II and III on the GameCube.
RE: SFX ripping/decoding/dumping features? - jackoalan - 06-30-2015
Can't say for certain.. you'll need to PM it to me so I can verify.
AFAIK, MusyX is GameCube-only; engineered for the hardware specifically, unless Factor5 made a PC MusyX runtime of some sort
RE: SFX ripping/decoding/dumping features? - jackoalan - 07-01-2015
Ahh, looks like there's a PC version of MusyX in here after all!
I see all 4 MusyX chunks in here, but the format has been optimized for PC with little-endian values.
.samp is just straight-uncompressed LPCM
Should be able to get them individually extracted, but some research into the PC .sdir will be required.

If there's anything else I can provide for you, please let me know.

Here ya go!!

v1.2 now supports the PC version of the Rogue Squadron DATA.DAT
It was actually rather straightforward; only a single sound group in the whole game it looks like.
