MSF Converter

Hello psx-place users! Today I (@clayson) present to you the MSF Converter which supports converting .wav/.xwm files to .msf, .msf is an audio format used in some games such as Skyrim (so yes, this can be used to convert .wav/.xwm to .msf for Skyrim and it will work). There are still plenty of features I plan on adding to this tool, but the base tool is complete and works quite well according to testers. :)

  • Features
    • Can convert .wav/.xwm to .msf .
    • Has abilities to search entire directories or add single .wav file(s).
    • Has many advanced options for .msf including looping options.
    • Nice conversion log with ability to save conversion log.
    • Uses templates so you can share .msf creation templates with other people to make everything easier.

    Disclaimer: Do not re-upload my work anywhere without my permission first, also please do not use any of the resources in this program without my permission, thank you.


  • [Q] Some of my .wav files have not converted to .msf!
    • [A] Check the conversion log, sometimes there is problems with .wav files.

    [Q] How can I re-create a game's .msf file?
    • [A] At the moment my tool cannot detect this, however it's a planned feature. If you would like you can send me a .msf and I will find out it's properties and then create a template.

    [Q] Why can't I modify the bitrate of my MP3 output .msf files? Can you allow me to?
    • [A] You cannot modify bitrate because it messes with how templates work (will work on fixing this), however if you MUST modify the bitrates I can create a special version of my .exe for you (no "Save Template" button though).

  • v1.5.1
    • Added ability to drag and drop folders containing .wav/.xwm.
    • Better method of storing .wav/.xwm to convert.
    • Fixed minor bugs and glitches.

    v1.4
    • Added ability to convert .xwm to .msf.
    • You can now drag and drop .wav/.xwm files into listbox which will be added.
    • Skyrim template by @clayson has been updated.
    • Fixed minor bugs and glitches.

    v1.0
    • Initial release

    • More settings including setting to backup .wav files.
    • More MSF options if needed by users.
    • Ability to modify MP3 .msf bitrate and highest bitrate (read FAQ if you want to know why it's not possible right now).
    • Error instantly notifies user and is easy for you to see.
    • Ability to drag and drop MSF Templates or .wav files.

  • @clayson (Created the main "MSF Converter.exe")
    valentinbreiz (Helped me code "MSF Converter.exe")
    tiroden (Created the icon used in this tool.)

    If you contributed and I forgot to credit you please let me know and I can fix that, thanks!

Keep in mind this tool is in it's early stages so if you mess with its files expect the tool to show off errors, if you find bugs report it to me via PM or on Discord thank you.

How wonderful, would it be possible in the future, convert from wav to mp3 or OGG? would be very ultil in converting Sega CD games and NeoGeoCd.
 
I guess this is only for ps3?

I think that ps4 games also use MSF. Check for possible games here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bethesda_Softworks_video_games#List_of_video_games

As far as I am aware only PS3 games use MSF (and it's not just Bethesda games). I have researched PS4 4.05 Skyrim/Fallout 4 modding and I can confirm they do not use MSF. :)

But maybe a game on PS4 will suprise me. Although I built this tool with PS3 Skyrim in mind for those wanting to use mods with sounds, but this works for any other PS3 (or PS4 if it uses it) games. :D

I've ported Crimes Against Natuure on Skyrim PS4 and the sounds must .at9 or the PS4 wont recognize it same with Fallout 4

Oh yes I am very well aware of how PS4 Skyrim and Fallout 4 work and I can say with the utmost confidence I know better than anyone how they work (after all I was the first person to unofficially mod those games on PS4 4.05 only a little after HEN came out). :)

The new update fixes some bugs, allows dragging and dropping folders, and uses a better method of listing .wav/.xwm to convert. :)
