Put All Audio Questions Here

I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but here goes:

Are there any Gameshark codes that mute sound effects in N64 games?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And does anyone yet know if there exist Gameshark codes to mute sound effects in N64 games (for clean music rips)?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Extracting audio from N64 catridges is even harder than extraction from Playstation ISOs.

Hmm...I'm not sure if that was directed toward my post, but the main thing a friend and I were wondering was whether there existed Gameshark codes to mute N64 sound effects, so that recording music from the games can be cleaner.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If you have read the link I gave you, you now know that the N64 has no standard way of playing back SFX and music data, that's the main reason why it's so hard to rip music.

Should be clear by now why no universal memory hack exists for disable SFX playback. You would have to figure out (by disassembling and tracing) for each game which part of the gamecode generates SFX and passes it to the DSP of the N64. Then you patch that part of the code and make a diff, resulting in your gameshark code.
That's not easier than creating a USF.

Oh...I see the connection now. Thanks. Yeah, I did read the link you posted, but I didn't see how that answered my question until you explained it just now. (I repeated myself because I wasn't sure if your post was directed at me to begin with. )
