Hi alpha! Hope this thread go's well for you! I have one tiny request. Could you do a complete full rip of Jeff Dyck's music to EA's NHL 98 for the PSX and Various other Platforms? There is some great music missing in the available rips floating around in cyber space! Thanks!

deleted

Nice Alpha. About time you started your uber perfect ripping thread. ;)

Nice one alpha, hope it goes good.

In The words of Borat "Very Nice, Great Sucess!"

this thread is a very good idea! :)

On update #2, the only video that I recall was the intro. Trust me, I've played this game a million times :-). The rest you are talking about might as well be in Japanese. My knowledge of game ripping is 0. Thanks you so much for your hard work! Wish I could be more of a assistance.

Do I hear a TINY bit of irony here? ;)

Well, it really is about time you started your own thread, with you outgrowing VGM Legacy and whatnot. ;) So no, no sarcasm really. ;)

By the way, how did you manage to convert the PSX music? Did it use typical midi or a different format?

deleted

Can you make a rip of dark sector.
composers :Keith Power, George Spanos, Dustin Crenna.
The game was on XBOX 360 and PS3 (wich are hard to rip from what i understand) and there's a PC version.
Maybe the songs are rippable from the PC release. Unfortunetly, I don't have the skills to rip it by my own.
Note that I own the PC version so if you have an idea...
thanx in advance

I think 'outgrowing' doesn't fit. I'll also release other rips on VGM Legacy, this one here is only for requests. I'll keep releasing the PSP rips and the other stuff on Legacy! =)
For your question: I just used PSound. ;) Luckily, the PC version hold the original file names - another reason why it can be practical to look at all versions!

Really? PSound didn't just extract instruments? I'm surprised. And great to know you're still with us. ;)

Don't sweat it Alpha! I appreciate your hard effort. :-)

This is more of a question, but can you rip MAME Arcade Games?

Great to see that Republic Commando is being given the rip it deserves. Jesse Harlin did something of a minor miracle with Republic Commando, and it is a damn shame that Harlin is not nearly as popular as he should be.

Downloaded and am listening to it now. So far, great work, Alpha23.

Thank you for a job well done!

I enjoy the rip and appreciate how you have cut out many of the shorter cues and provide for a better listening experience as opposed to just copying the files from the game. The looping and fading for the tracks is well done and fits.

I can't really think of anything that could be improved for this rip. It's easily listenable to and well polished. Good job! :)

deleted

Do you still want this rip or is OrageC's rip sufficient for you? The video tracks are missing in his rip. Well, decide for yourself. Anyway, the gates were closed, so I already ignored your request. ;)
Nevertheless, if you want me to take a look the PC and Xbox 360 version, you'll need to send me download links to the images because I couldn't find any... :-\ You can of course also upload the PC image yourself (Megaupload 500MB-1GB per file please ;)).


I would be delighted, even if OrangeC rip was great.
I didn't even know ther were missing some tracks in his release.
It will take me some time but I'll upload the music files, if I manage to extract them (a little help will be appreciated on the how to).
If not, you will receive the whole package, hope you won't mind
As soon as I'm finished uploading, i'll give you the links.
And muchas thanks for answering me and for the great job you are doing fulfilling my HDD

Taking right now
Great job Alpha 23

Thanks for Republic Commando, Timo;)

No problem.
I tried to upload the images but it's such a pain in the back that I gave you the torrentz links. Hope it's okay for you

Thanks for Republic Commando.

Hey alpha! Sorry I took so long to get back to you on the NHL rip, things have been a little hectic here! Awesome rip! After so many years I can now say I have the most definitive rip of NHL 98 out there because of your hard work! :-) There was one song I was always looking for that I absolutely loved, and you got it. The song Ditties 140 is it and it simply rocks!!! The sound is great. The only thing I discovered was song Menu 2 ran a little bit longer then it should, no problem though! I went into I-tunes and adjusted the time on this particular song. Overall, awesome rip and thanks again alpha!!!

thanks for your hard work, alpha! :)

Then again I usually download more than one thing per day, and I usually don't have time for everything right away. That's why I might listen to something for the first time I downloaded it over a week ago.

okay alpha!
i downloaded the republik commando rip now and say then where are the four unlooped tracks, okay?
Didn�t downloaded it yet.

Hello alpha, yes those def jam segments are annoying, i am doing fight for new york and it seems to be easier.


Dark sector should use xma.

Dark Sector uses XMA, I've taken a look at it before. The XMA files are headerless though.

deleted

PC version uses RAW PCM just so you know.

Curious but what editing does need to be done with the xma headers?

Sample rates perhaps?

deleted

All i know is adrian gave me the new 50mb file size limit header but the rate is set to 48hz, i want to set it to 41hz but i dont remember how.

Thanks a lot for your detailed post about my rip! I'm really glad you like it! =) =) =)
Also THANKS for telling me about the time difference. But to be honest, I don't understand what you mean... Is it just the playing time of the song or also the pitch? Because if both it would be a sample rate difference. Thanks for getting back to me! =)

The song ends @ around 5:00 minutes, then there's a 35 second gap of nothing until the next song. Like I said, no big deal :-). Thanks again alpha!!!

Alright!
Since no one make a request, i make one!
My request is Turok Evolution!

Now the music is really awesome and has cool action music espessialy for the flight levels.
It was realesed on Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, Pc and the Gameboy Advance in 2002.
Since not a really good rip or something or a soundtrack existed, i love to hear this music and i believe so much others too.

here�s a example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeFl2RwmUDc&feature=related

so what do you think?

Turok - Evolution for PC can be ripped by anyone - you just have to scan sound file for WAVs

I have a request, although it's limited to one platform. I'd like to see the music of Star Wars battlefront: Elite Squadron ripped.

BTW the megaupload link to Dark sector is fixed, taking it right now.
Good job for this one.

It's me again. Finshed downloading Dark Sector. I tried your password (all your passwords), but it seems to be invalid. is it Interactive Ripping District or am I really cursed?
For Battlefield that's sadly true since they cancelled the PC version. No prob though.

All songs are from the PC version, which as already said has rawe wave files, so the quality is as good as it could get.

Battlefield Bad Company had data archives that are compressed. It doesn't seem to be zlib.

I think the music is all from the movies but I'm not sure.

Well, LucasArts almost always puts unreleased stuff in their games. Look at Star Wars games. That, and the previous LEGO Indiana Jones had at least one unreleased cue from the Temple of Doom.

Sorry for all this, alpha!
Seems that Toruk Evolution is a really big fish, ha?
But i know you make always a really good job on this ripping, so i can wait for this rip since
this crappy Game Archives has been cracked.

Yeah.
Nobody will blame you, guy.
Just what type of format is used in Bad Company? I'll be looking for infos on the net.
With Indiana Jones and Turok, you already have your hands full.

I do believe your Battlefield Bad Company problem has been fixed; also, can you send me one of your XMA2 files? I'm interested in taking a look.

STATUS REPORT



- Battlefield Bad Company and Turok: Evolution -

No progression on either one. Still need assistance with the game archives. Sorry. :-\


- LEGO Indiana Jones 2 -

Currently downloading the PC version. Finished downloading Wii, XBox 360 and PSP.
Wii has headerless Wii ADPCM (will need assistance) but at least all the videos are easily accessible.
XBox 360 seems to have XMA2, which is currently unconvertible, but I'll have the files checked. Would be a pity - 1.3GB of compressed music sounds quite promising. =)
PSP has only mono AT3s which also means that I can't convert the files myself as I don't have a PSP so I'll have to ask Barnaby for help. ;)
The videos from the PSP version have a strange FMV format I've never seen before but maybe someone on Xentax can give some assistance. ;)


- General -

Well seems as if progression has pretty much stagnated due to those format problems. :-\
But don't blame it on me - if I would have done the research without requests and then sometime released the rips noone would witness the whole progress.
Here at the IRD you're right at the source! =)


Does your xma2 file have a header or is it headerless, could be multichannel.

Extraction script was corrected another time by Luigi. =) Will try the new script on the files today or tomorrow. The extraction process alone will take pretty much time as the music files are scattered within the whole game structure. Still not sure if the format is maybe XMA2. If so, the files will be unconvertable.


Let's hope not.

towav should be able to handle xma2 2ch depending on the header. I mean correct me if i am wrong alpha :P

Nicely ripped and in much better quality than ever before. I'm glad you managed to tag it propperly this time with real track names.

Nice!

So, how's Elite Squadron coming along?

Uploaded the first part tonight

Will upload a few more parts tomorrow.

It's 250mb split archive.

Wow. Alpha!
Thanks so much for this hard work!
I tried it myself long time ago with the gamerip and i know this was really hard work!

Uploaded the first part tonight

Will upload a few more parts tomorrow.

It's 250mb split archive.

Cool.

I have the game now. There's nothing particularly new with the in-level music but most of the cutscene stuff is new. Is the Cutscene music stored as separate ala The Force Unleashed (Where cutscene music and cutscene SFX/voices are all stored separate)?

The Cutscenees are all mixed so it is not possible to seperate voice/sfx from music. Sorry.

It's uploaded now. Just waiting for Alpha to make sure it is all in order;)

UPDATE

Last one for this year! ;) Finally finished this really enjoyable soundtrack. After a thorough analysis, I found out that the PC version was completely redundant, so this Compilation Soundtrack is a comparison between the PX2 and XBox version. After all, there weren't many exclusive tracks - only three in the XBox version. All unmarked tracks except one or two are (loop) edits. The marked mixes mostly feature some intro or end part, the "Dramatic" is a complete done-by-me mix from the three XBox-exclusive tracks, which I think fit together really well. Additionally, I'v included a promo mix from Nelson Everhart's homepage as well as the two available E3 2002 videos.
The playing order is oriented at X Spartan X 622's soundtrack. Thanks again for your help! =)

Great, but I have a little problem.

Whenever I try to play the MP3's, WMP gives me an error, "Windows can't play this file. The file you are trying to open is not supported by WMP".

Can anyone help me?

deleted

deleted

I going to release all my rips here in OGG q10 unless a good reason given or a lossless version requested.
OGG is better than MP3 so I came to the obvious conclusion.

Hm, I never use WMP. Try if it's playable with Winamp. If not, there may be some driver or codec problem. The files are all maxVBR with VBR tag written - nothing special.
Different-quality versions are also requestable (OGG, lossless, MP3 joint-stereo). This message goes to all downloaders and sharers:


Avoid lossy transcoding at all cost!!!

P.S.: Would be nice if you could shorten your last post a bit by removing the picture and the playlist from the quote - for the sake of clarity. =)

Could you upload an OGG version, if it's not much to ask.

I'm gonna try and see if I can find what's causing my current problem.

deleted

Be sure you you use the correct password when extracting:
Interactive Ripping District
Try this first and post again here if the problem isunsolvable. Then I'll upload an OGG version or maybe even lossless.

Yes, it worked this time.

No need for the OGG version now.

I must say, this rip is great, It has some songs I've either must have missed or were not played in-game.

Thanks for the rip Alpha!

I was goign to suggest you do that.

STATUS REPORT

- LEGO Indiana Jones 2 -

I've checkedd some songs and it seems like it was originally only recorded in stereo, the back channels are a duplicate of the front channels, only mixed with more SFX. So there's actually no need for a multichannel rip. Instead I'll just compare the front channels of the 360 version to the OGG tracks of the PC version. Wii is unrippable but probably has worse quality than the 360 version. Will finish the rip sometime this week.


- Battlefield: Bad Company -

For now, there's no support for the second XMA format of the game (it has two different XMA formats). I will keep all the files and set the rip to "pending".
As soon as I get the info that a method to decode is known, I'll finish the rip.





To prepare the next rip, I'll just open a gate to process the downloads:

ALPHA23 GATE OPENED

Alpha23 might i request Ghost recon advanced warfighter X360, there is also a pc version but the pc version has less music then 360. i was gonna do it but i don't have time really.

Well here goes.

I could not convert that as it states some of the files from the gamcube version could not be converted. I have been trying to rip this game for years now. I was just comparing the versions to see which had the best quality. So if you take it on you only need to download the PS2 version as it has the same quality as the rest but is much easier to extract. If you think it's too much a challenge, you don't have to take it on.

may I ask you to rip need for speed 5? Which is also known as "Porsche Unleashed". I am mostly interested in PSOne version. =)

deleted

Nice music though. ;)

I`m glad! Without me you wouldn`t discovered this one I guess. Also do you continue ripping if you encounter any kind of encryption? If I be lucky again I will most likely request a game that had some encryption (in its PS2 version, don`t know about the rest)

yep, I like old school)))))

Dear Alpha, If you don't mind me asking, I would truly appreciate it if you could rip the soundtracks of an old game (Knights of the Temple II), I have only played the PS 2 version and liked its soundtracks, so, if you are willing to do it, just the PS 2 version would be more than enough.
