Custom Encoder

Yona includes encoders for every format supported by VGAudio. But some games might require more specific audio settings, such as Persona 5 Royal and Persona 3 Reload.

For games like those, you can create a Custom Encoder config.

Encoder Config

Custom Encoders are just .ini files with some of the following settings set.

;REQUIRED
;The encoder name is how encoders are identified.
;Changing it will break any tracks using the encoder.
name=


;REQUIRED
;Examples: adx, hca
out_container_format=


out_format=
loop_alignment=
block_size=
version=
frame_size=
filter=
adx_type=
key_string=
key_code=
endianess=
hca_quality=
bitrate=
limit_bitrate=
encode_cbr=

Since the only encoder in Yona is VGAudio currently, the settings available are what it supports. See the official repo for full details: https://github.com/Thealexbarney/VGAudio

Creating a Custom Encoder

  1. Go to: YONA_INSTALL_FOLDER/audio/encoders/VGAudio.
  2. Create a text file in the folder and name it whatever you want but make sure it ends in .ini.
  3. Open the file in your text editor.
  4. Set the name and out_container_format for your encoder.
  5. Set any other settings you need, such as the audio key_code.
  6. Save your file and restart Yona.
  7. If you haven’t already, enable Developer Mode in Yona’s settings.
  8. Your encoder should now be available wherever an encoder can be selected, such as in the Track Panel.
