The PSX sound files, anyone know how to extract them? Not talking CD, I am talking about the hardware files.
:smt017 You mean music that isn't on a PSX game CD, but in the hardware? FYI: I miss the Playdia sig.
I have this game promo from konami, and it has the most amazing arrange music using the psx sound chip. I mean, incredible, maxes out the psx. I wanted to take those off and insert them into another game.
Hmmm... that's a stiff order. I recall a few tools to rip the CD music, but I'm sure that's pretty old hat to someone such as yourself. I'll do a google.jp search, but I seriously doubt I'll find anything.
Extract the player code and musical data (sequence data + samples) and replace the target's sound code with that instead. May require rewriting large portions of code. If both games use seq/vab/vag-format audio the procedure should be simpler, but will still require code tweaking to make sure the music is played correctly.
The music from PSX games can be ripped. The music files are called PSF files. Think of them as a PSX version of the ADX format that Sega use. You can find a read me on how to rip them here http://www.zophar.net/tech/files/psf_rip_notes.txt Also check out the PSF music archive over at Zophar http://www.zophar.net/psf/ Yakumo
Like C64 SIDs, PSFs are a bundling of both the player code and the music data. Transplanting them from one game into another is not trivial work. It's very different from ADX, which is mainly a streaming audio library.
PsxMC253 rips every video and audio files i ripped all the 3 dbz games and have all the sounds in .wav files hehehe gotta love the voices..
O.k. I'll give it a try, I'm a fan of music made for hardware, it's more of an art than throwing a cd track on it. I think we all remember the awesome music from some cartridge games, and the work that must have taken to achieve.
You can also run an emu and record the sound to a wav. file. Or hookup the stereo out put from the psx to your sound card.
Anyone here know how to rip PS2 music files? There's an awesome vocal ending tune on Hyper Street Fighter II Anniversary that I would really like on my PC...
