I have a .BIN and .cue file for a PS1 game that I found on the internet.

I want to rip the music from the game so I can make a soundtrack out of it (since no one else has ripped music from the game yet), but I don't know how to do this.

Help?

I think the situation with ripping music from games is like buying luxury cars. If you need to ask how to rip/how expensive it is, it isn't for you.
Seriously, there are some tutorials on the web but they make so much assumptions of knowledge you should have, it is way over my league. There generally isn't a way to just 'rip', you have to reverse engineer an entire game.

I think that's the case with almost every console except SNES and [with some annoyances] Sega Genesis.

The only reason why I ask this is because almost every tutorial out there requires you to have a disk, and I don't want to burn the ISO into the disc just so I can get some music out of it :l

You should be able to get an ISO utility and mount the .iso as if it was a cd. a few suggestions...

Skip that link and use Daemon Tools. It can 'mount' your ISO into a virtual CD drive, then you can open it like a normal CD. But the point is, where do you go from there?
You say it's never been ripped, so it probably doesn't use streaming music, but another format. And God knows how to extract that.

....I thought DaemonTools was in that link, among others, so as to provide a choice of programs.
DaemonTools is cool, if you don't mind shelling out some money. I'm currently using PowerISO, which is kinda "nagware", but has the same capabilities as DaemonTools. In the past, I've used Alcohol120%, which would be awesome for the above mentioned purpose, but I don't know if they're still around...

Another thought I had: You may not need to mount the discs to rip the music. If you have winrar or 7zip [maybe others, I'm not sure], you can extract the files to a folder and go that route in reverse engineering the disc info...

Daemon tools is paid? Hmmm...did I torrent that too? Well if you downloaded an ISO from the internet you might as well go pirate-ception.

I used to have some software that ripped the audio or at least allowed you to browse through CUE and BIN files as though they were folders and copy out the music, but can't remember the name of it- this is going back nearly 15 years! Not any help, but it's I know it's do-able.

What game are you ripping? Maybe the extracted files are already out there??

The game is called "Kid Klown in Crazy Chase 2: Love Love Hani Soudatsusen".

if .xa, mount the cue with daemon tools, select open .xa in foobar

if cdda, mount the cue and rip with dbpoweramp

if the music is embedded in streamed video idk

if sequenced midi (psf) idk... likely it's already been ripped

Try some of the stuff from Zophar's Domain (http://www.zophar.net/utilities/psxutil.html) specifically PSXMC/PSXMP, PSMPlay, and/or PSound.

I've used them all before quite a while ago, but be forewarned, sometimes you'll get some scrambled files that'll make you think "WTF?" It's kinda hit and miss. aside from that, I think you'll have to try some heavy duty disassembly/decompiling/reverse engineering to get anything.

So go ahead and give it a shot, and keep your fingers crossed! Good luck!

I would like to go to Zophar's Domain, but I heard that accessing the site gives you viruses... .-.
