How to Convert From Nintendo Ultra 64 Sound Format to MP3 Format

Nintendo Ultra 64 sound files are ripped from Nintendo 64 ROMs in USF format. Since few programs can play USF files, you may want to convert your Nintendo Ultra 64 music to MP3s, a much more widely used format. This way, you can enjoy classic Nintendo video game theme songs on your MP3 player or add them to your audio library in a variety of different media players.

Things You'll Need

• Winamp Media Player
• 64th Note Plug-in for Winamp

Instructions

1. Download and install Winamp, a free media player. Download and install 64th Note, a plug-in for playing Nintendo Ultra 64 sound format.

2. Launch Winamp. Go to "File," then "Add Media to Library." Browse for and select the folder containing the USF files you wish to convert.

3. Go to "Options" and click "Preferences." Scroll down to "Plug-ins" and select "Output." Select "NullSoft Disk Writer," a plug-in for saving files in different formats which comes installed with WinAmp.

4. Click "Configure." Check "Output to directory containing source files" or select a different destination folder for the converted files.

5. Check "Convert to format" under "Conversion" and click the button. Select "MPEG Layer 3" from the drop-down menu and click "Okay." Click "Okay" again to close out the configuration window, then click "Close."

6. Select the Nintendo Ultra 64 sound file you want to convert and press "Play." WinAmp will continue converting all the songs on the playlist until you click "Stop."

7. Return to the "Preferences" window and click "Output." Select "Nullsoft DirectSound Output" to return to playing audio files rather than converting them.
