I want to add SSEQ, SBNK, SWAR playback into my C# program, how can I go along with this?

I can barely research libraries like GotaSoundIO and GotaSequenceLib that I had to use AI but I still didn't get it to work, so I thought of coming to you, maybe you could help me, if I were to copy some of your files into my project what would I copy over and how could I load a SSEQ, SBNK, and SWAR and play them? BTW my code is here:

Just so you know, VG Music Studio and Nitro Studio 2 use different libraries from each other (apart from EndianBinaryIO, which is what VGMS uses).

Generative AI is not going to help fix your issues, in fact due to the huge inaccuracies, it will break your code even more, plus it ignores any open source licences that it should be copying, so I'd highly advise not using it for development, ever.

It's best to experiment around with code in the applications, fork them, change some stuff around, try different stuff out, and maybe even read some of Gota7's documentation on the Nitro Sound Player formats? ;) They often come in handy regarding reading and writing SSEQ, SBNK, SWAR and STRM formats, those guides really helped me understand how to code read and write functions into those formats: https://gota7.github.io/NitroStudio2/

I know it's a lot to take in, but documentation really helps a lot in writing funcs to read their data and edit them.

As for playback however, you'll need to learn how to use sound libraries like SoundFlow (which uses MiniAudio) or PortAudio to accomplish this task.

And I've gotta admit, MiniAudio is still to me, so I'm learning how to use it, and haven't had any success yet, but I am more experienced with PortAudio on the other hand.

It's nice to see Disgaea getting some research and tools developed for its formats, this will help a lot with Disgaea reverse engineering. 👍

Yeah, I just know that Nitro Studio 2 uses the Kermalis Sound Player.

I was trying to get it to help me document it since GotaSequenceLib has no Wiki or Documentation, and it has thousands of lines of code.

Okay I'll try to create a new repo to see what I can do.

Thanks, my friend recommended I reverse engineered some of the formats of the DS port cause the PS1 songs are streamed and he wanted the MIDIs.
