As a unique feature of Oni game data, SNDD files have a significantly different structure depending on the engine version. For PC retail (.dat/.raw storage, no .sep files), the SNDD files are larger and include a 50-byte chunk of data that is equivalent to the "fmt " chunk of a WAVE file. For the other two versions (PC demo and Mac, .dat/.raw/.sep storage), this 50-byte block is missing. It turns out that the extra format data allows the PC retail to support both MS ADPCM and IMA4, as well as uncompressed PCM, whereas PC demo and Mac engines only support MS ADPCM and IMA4, respectively. (It has not been confirmed whether the PC retail engine supports other WAVE formats beyond PCM and MS ADPCM, such as Mu-Law or A-Law PCM, IEEE float PCM, etc.) The PS2 engine uses the same short data header as for PC demo and Mac, but the waveform is stored as VAG (a.k.a. PSX ADPCM) and resides in a completely separate SOUNDS folder, accessed through an additional layer of indexation beyond the usual .dat/.raw./.sep logic (not unlike PS2 TXMPs which rely on color palettes stored in additional level#_palette.pal files). | As a unique feature of Oni game data, SNDD files have a significantly different structure depending on the engine version.
