Hudson Soft - Logo Animation (qHD) (Game Rip) (4K60 Upscale)
This is the 4K60 (not AI) upscale of the raw 960x544 .sfd logo animation of Hudson Soft from Tengai Makyou: Ziria – Haruka naru Jipang for Xbox 360, ripped straight from the Xbox 360 disc.
Oddly the .sfd file behaved differently than normal. Usually I can split it via SFD to MPG Converter and obtain the audio file that way, but this time using that didn't give me the audio file, it was empty. Luckily, I was able to use VGMToolbox and obtained the audio file (this time an .aix file) that way. There I was able to open that file with Audacity (despite it once again claiming it's not compatible) and saved it as a .wav file. Then I merged the .mkv converted .sfd file with the .wav audio file.
However, I made a mistake before in my original upload, seen here:

When I opened the .aix file in Audacity, it actually offered me a choice of three streams, I did not know what that was about, so I just picked the top one, thinking all were duplicates (I mean, it did say the file was incompatible, so I assumed it was a glitch or something). Turns out; those streams are layers or aspects of the audio file itself. I was wondering why my prior upload sounded a little off vs. the version you hear in the game itself as seen and heard in this video of the game this is from right at the beginning:

Originally I tried opening and saving each stream as their own .wav file, and opened them each in Avidemux as separate tracks, but it turned out that didn't work out well as that just kept the streams separate in the playback (as in you could only play one at a time, like a language selection in VLC for movies) ...whoops.
So then I tried to merge the three together. Took a bit to figure it out, but I had to use the import function in Audacity to get all three streams in the same project. Sure enough, once I exported afterwards, they did combine, and now the FULL track plays as intended. Hopefully that's the last of it, it's like the 3rd time I've had to redo this (thank god it's a small video!).
