I see 2 possibilities:
- the game is decoding the ADX format in software, without using sceAtrac3plus.
- the game is converting the ADX format into RIFF/WAVE format. sceAtrac3plus is only accepting this format, otherwise, the following error is produced: "Not a RIFF/WAVE format! XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX"
My guess is the first alternative.
I've never found info that the PSP can handle the ADX format natively. Or am I wrong?
No, you're right. The .ADX files are normally decoded internally by the "CRI ADX" threads on those games and the result is generally a regular ADPCM output. That's why some games use these files and can still output sound.

Unfortunately, it is a restriction of SonicStage (check this thread: http://forums.sonyinsider.com/topic/9585...ith-hi-md/ ). Turns out, Sony assumed no one would generate ATRAC3+ media in MONO mode. Makes sense, but their at3tool allows devs to still do this, so, quite a contradiction here...
Anyway, looks like the only way to have SonicStage playing this, is to render these files as stereo data.
