Sorry, this is due for an update but I haven't had much time recently. Try drag-dropping into the table, that should hopefully work. If it still doesn't work please say so, and I'll try do something about it as soon as I can.

It worked! Thank you so much!

Good to hear I'll still try to find some time to update this though.

Ok, it turns out the .dsp files that cannot be converted back then came from an .arc file. Though I did use a program to extract them, it ended up with the same message. I have the .arc file on me in case anybody wants to examine it.

Can't hurt to take a look, but I'm not promising anything. What did you use to extract them?

ARC Extractor from the WiiBrew website.

What's this? Could it be? An... update?!?

Version 2.0!!!

That's right! This is a major update, it's completely revamped. I'm now coding this in Haxe, which causes a couple of changes:

• No stupid installer. Just unzip and run, that's it.
  
• Doesn't require AIR, or any runtime for that matter. It runs without any extra downloads, all it needs are the files that come with it.
  
• Probably more stable. It only changes if you update it yourself; it's completely independent from any automatic updates that might break it.
  

Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of a proper GUI. It's a command-line program, with some minimal UI file selection. You can use it in one of two ways:

The easiest way is to open the exe, and a command prompt will come up. A file selection window will open, and you select your files to convert. Then a folder selection window will come up, where you select the folder where the converted files will be saved (this folder must exist beforehand). Then it'll convert the files.

You can also run it using the command-line. The usage is as follows:

Code:

VGSC inDir outDir
    inDir: Path to directory containing files to convert
    outDir: Path to directory where converted files will be saved

So you can either use the command prompt or write a .bat file.

The first option is probably quicker and more straightforward for most people, but the latter might be useful for others.

It's also open source now, you can view the public repository here on BitBucket. I'll update there occasionally when working on this, basically it's just for me to keep track of the project, but some people might be interested.

Oh yeah by the way, this uses the latest version of vgmstream at the time of writing: r1024.

So yeah, enjoy! You can still use the old versions if you really prefer the GUI, but it apparently has some issues and I won't be able to help much.

I'll update the first post tomorrow, I'm tired now

EDIT: Updated the first post.
