Shenmue Dojo

I converted all the sound effects from Shenmue and What's Shenmue to DSF with Master Kyodai's gui took and packed them all together. To play these I recommend Winamp with the dsf plugin. I have tried it on foobar 2000 and they didn't play for some reason.

The archives contain every single sound file that got exported. That's over 3800 for What's Shenmue and over 9000 (no meme intended) for Shenmue. Since it includes everything it's unsorted and there's a great amount of empty sound files for the dsflibs that start with "F1".

What's Shenmue:

I found a few intersting things just by randomly listening through the files, like Virtua Fighter battle sounds, some guy humming (during the Jimmy chase QTE) and a doorbell, barcode scanner beep and cash register sound for the Tomato Mart.

Im not sure why this 'winamp' plugin is still being used after all these years, eventually I will want 'ALL' the audio, but In WAV form


Snd2Wav works

Python 2.7.9 (required) is here

For future reference
The translation pack , helps with extracting AFS files in the STREAM folder to extract (and I think replace audio)

Im suprised SND2WAV isnt included in the translation pack, It isnt 100% perfect but these tools combined rip all audio into WAV

The all of the minidsfs seem to have the full path hardcoded in the lib tag ("c:\shenmue\dtpkfiles\\..."). The double backslash seems to prevent them from playing even if you make the proper directory to put them in. Hand editing the lib tag works, but that's obviously not reasonable for so many files. Does anyone happen to already have a script handy to do this?

Here is a script I made in the Ruby programming language:

Code: Select all

# It replaces the old path (and removes the double backslashes) found in the MINIDSF files, with the current path [the files are (and thus this script is) stored in] as the new path.

oldpath = "c:\\shenmue\\dtpkfiles\\\\"; newpath = Dir.pwd.gsub!("/", "\\").downcase + "\\"; Dir.glob('*.minidsf') { |file| entry = IO.read(file).gsub!(oldpath, newpath); if entry != nil; IO.binwrite(file, entry) end }

Here are some instructions about Shenmue sound effects from Master Kyodai.

I have made a little pack here:

https://www.mediafire.com/?n0z5ym40e3muwnq

You can use the afsutils to extract any afs file. If i remember right most sounds came from FREE01.afs which should be in SCENE\01\STREAM

If you wanna be extreme you can also just copy all AFS files from all discs and put them in one folder, that makes it easier. I cant remember but i think pretty much all sound files should be in free01.afs, at least that would be a good start.

So you open the afs in the tool and pick "extract all" to some helper directory. You should end up with like 12.000 STR files after a few seconds.

Then you extract the second tool from the pack and go to ADPCM Streaming Toolkit\massconv\input and copy all STR files there.

Then just run massconv.cmd and in the output folder you will have all files as WAVE format.

I was worried about figuring out how to use this script but with snd2wav it isnt necessary

Thank you!

Has anyone figured out how to convert these F1__ sound effect files?

some discussion of the system.snd here viewtopic.php?f=37&t=49940

Hi everyone,

This is probably quite a broad request, but I have to ask.

Does anyone have all of the sounds and voices in WAV format? I've attempted to use a number of players & converters but had no joy with any of the OP files.

Pretty sure I'm missing something obvious, but you know how it can be when you've spent hours on something & not got far ;)

Thanks, Russ.
