#About This is a project dedicated to replacing the audio in ocarina of time similar to how the retexture projects have replaced the textures with higher resolution ones. For information on how the plugin works see the blog post. Plugin source is not hosted on github because it is not entirely my own, I simply modified it, if the owner wants to host it here then I will fork it and upload my modifications. Otherwise it is available from the link below. Note that it was only modified to work with ABI2 games but it shouldn't be that hard to modify the source to work with others as long as it is HLE emulated.
Note: In order for the plugin to work you must enable
high level emulation, to do this for project64 go to Options->Settings->Options and uncheck
Hide Advanced Settings and click OK once you've done this go to
Options->Configure RSP Plugin and check send Audio Lists to Audio Plugin, in order to use
other LLE plugins you have to uncheck this again later. You will also
need the fmod dll because the plugin uses fmod to play the audio files. The fmodex.dll
is placed in the same directory as your Project64.exe executable, not in the plugin
directory.

#Folder Placement
The music and lists are loaded based on a hash of the rom header (first 40bytes)
ocarina of time is b5bc0385152e9afb8f6f79aab04abfec so place this folder in
${emulator_dir}/plugin/hires_audio e.g. the lists go in
${emulator_dir}/plugin/hires_audio/b5bc0385152e9afb8f6f79aab04abfec and the mp3s
go in ${emulator_dir}/plugin/hires_audio/b5bc0385152e9afb8f6f79aab04abfec/music/
this project itself should be the hires_audio folder.
#ZREO Music The music is not included here, go to http://www.zreomusic.com/z5 and place the mp3s into the music subfolder
#File Format
There are 4 files as of currently that control when songs and sounds get played
when certain adpcm table load sequences occur.
##blacklist
blacklist is the list of all sounds that are blocked, currently everything is
blocked anyway unless specified but this will be allowed to be changed in the future,
this is useful for debugging though since blocked sounds get marked as blocked in the log
rather than unknown, so you can identify new sounds.
##whitelist
whitelist is the list of sounds that are allowed to be played at all times, e.g.
in ocarina of time the ocarina is allowed.
##blocklist
blocklist is the list of sound/filename pairs, that allow you to block certain sounds
while certain songs are playing that would otherwise be whitelisted. An example is
blocking the ocarina in the title screen.
##songlist
songlist is the list of adpcm table hash sequences and file names, currently there are 6 hashes
to a signature, this must always be the case otherwise it will be loaded incorrectly, you can
change this from the source code (SIGNATURE_BLOCK_SIZE) as long as the file matches up. You can use
the special code %DEFAULT% to allow the default music to be played. This is useful if you don't
have replacement music. Following the filename is a play mode
The two numbers following the playmode are the loop points, loop points
let you control where the music get's looped allowing you to cut out intros or endings for more
continuous playback. To leave the loop points at the start and end then use 0 and -1 for the loop
points.
###playmodes
- ONCE_NORMAL | plays the song once, without looping, plays silence until the next code is detected
- LOOP_NORMAL [loop_start, loop_end] | plays the song in a loop
- ONCE_REVERT | plays the song once and reverts to the previous song
- ONCE_GOTO [song_index] | plays the song then plays song with the parameter index
- ONCE_DEFAULT | plays the song once and goes to the default music
#Figuring out New Codes Hashes of the ADPCM tables are logged to the ADPCMTable.log file, this is all that I have currently, you can use a third party tool such as winmerge which can be helpful determing the signatures. I may potentially develop extra scripts to help automate this process
