I didn't really know where to post this; I figured this would be a good place. Is there a way to extract sound files off .SPC music files? I'm a bit of a tracker musician (I use madtracker) and I woke up with the idea of remaking castlevania: aria of sorrow into something that sounds like the actraiser soundtrack, and later the idea to extract the sound data from actraiser spc files popped in my mind.
If you mean just ripping the tracks to something more malleable, there are a bunch of ways of transcoding entire songs from SPC to WAV. My choice would be Foobar since it's literally a few clicks once you've got an SPC playback plugin set up. If you mean extracting individual samples or viewing the SPC contents tracker-style, I know there are a few tools out there to convert SPCs to something more tracker-friendly. Should be easily findable via google. (Edit: try here)
SPC format is not native to SPC700. It's just a memory dump from sound processor generated by an emulator. In other word you can't use this format on a SNES in a game.
That's basic knowledge, and is not my point. What I wanted to do was to extract the compressed sound files off the spc files, which I have managed to do thanks to spctool and snessor95. the sound files extracted as .wav files, I can then use them in madtracker.
OK, but I meant SPC files do not give you the right sample. Most of time, the sound files contained in SPC700 memory are modified by the SDSP or SSMP for compression or sound effect purpose. If you want the raw sample, I suggest you to dig up directly in ROM not from SPC file.
