ima2raw tool for DS
JimmyL is not only good at making homebrew DS games (remember A Touch of War and the NDSHB-winning entry, Explosive Gas?), he also makes tools that proves to be useful to DS owners. One of those tools is ima2raw.
JimmyL’s ima2raw removes the header and index blocks from a 4bit mono ima-adpcm wav file turning the file into the right format that can be put directly to the Ninty handheld’s sound hardware. This tool, the code of which was heavily based on the DS ScummVM source code, will work adpcm’s created with Windows SoundRecorder and with cdex but will not work with adcpm made with sox (JimmyL has not yet looked into this problem).
Seems like JimmyL has been immersing himself into improving his ‘brews, just a while ago we posted on the newest version to the game Explosive Gas. Now, he also presents us with an updated ima2raw. The update fixed a bug where files converted came out 1k larger than the originals. JimmyL says it best when he wrote, “So if you’re using this tool, go grab the update, your games will be slightly smaller.”
As always, don’t forget to share any constructive criticisms via the comments.
