A CLI and library for introspecing, extracting and decoding wii Nintendoware sound files.
mrst list|extract|decode [options] file
-o/--out output file path for extract and decode operations. If not provided, a sensible name will be chosen (if one file is output, the same as the input with different file extension, otherwise a directory with the same name with ".d" appended to it)
Prints various information about the file
Extracts files from archive (BRSAR or BRWAR)
--decodeadditionally decodes subfiles while extracting--extract-rwarFor BRSAR extraction, automatically extract any BRWARs encountered
Decodes file into modern standard format. BRSTM/BRWAV files are converted to WAVE, BRBNK (and corresponding RWAR if applicable) files are converted to SoundFont 2 (sf2) and BRSEQ files are converted to MIDI.
| File | list | extract | decode |
|---|---|---|---|
| BRSAR | Y | Y | N/A |
| BRWAR | Y | Y | N/A |
| BRWAV | Y | N/A | Y |
| BRSTM | Y | N/A | Y |
| BRBNK | Y | N/A | Y* |
| BRSEQ | Y | N/A | Y |
| BRWSD | Y | N/A | N/A |
* decode subcommand on that file specifically doesn't work since external information is needed to create an SF2. Use --decode on the original BRSAR instead.
Although I tried to incorporate all the features of past decoder implementations, MIDI conversion is a work in progress and not all RSEQ behavior can be translated into MIDI.
Eventually it would be nice if this tool supported re-converting from common formats to nintendoware (mrst encode) and re-packing archives (mrst archive).
