hi guys:
can someone rip the music from the game Hyperdimension Neptunia
either Rip the game or rip just one song, it's from the tutorial battle theme (the one that sounds all 8-bit)

here's a link
YouTube - HyperDimension Neptunia Part 1 Boss Guard Vermin Fight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ul05iZw5o)

thanks in advance

... ahh... seems someone beat me to it... lol... but the game isn't ALL 8-bit... that was just the first dungeon... the trial dungeon where they teach you the basics of dungeon crawling and the battles... which I found quite hilarious and entertaining.

... i've been CRAVING this soundtrack since I made it to Lastation for the first time... but what I don't understand is... why hasn't there been an OST released for this game yet...?

... I mean... it's been out in Japan since like... August of last year... = ='' ... you'd think the game had already been ripped at least if nothing else...

T^T ... someone out there PLEASE save us...

I'm interested in this one too...
The whole soundtrack seems to be uploaded on YouTube, but I don't know if it's official or a rip.
And I haven't found anything else, yet ><

Soshimaru
03-02-2011, 08:44 PM
... o.o ... the WHOLE soundtrack...?

... <.< ... where is this... I didn't see this when I went there... can you send me a link...?

... the only person I saw who uploaded like 21 tracks was RadiantRhapsody... and all of the songs were totally not there...

... i've progressed a little further through the game last week and came to find out there were a whole bunch more tracks he hadn't uploaded... which wasn't a very big surprise... lol...

... it's times like this that I wish I knew how to rip sound tracks from ISOs so that guys like us could praise me for my hard work... n.n ... i-if it's that hard .-. I-I dunno..

Here's one track:

YouTube - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD3hE_6GatA)

The same person has uploaded a few more and in the description he says: "Here is the soundtrack that comes with the limited edition of the game."

So there actually seems to be an official soundtrack, but I guess it's missing a few tracks then?
(Haven't played the game myself yet, so I don't know ^^")

Soshimaru
03-04-2011, 08:58 AM
... hah... yes I see... and i've learned from him that with the Japanese release... he actually got the LIMITED EDITION Soundtrack CD with his game... lol... America did not deserve it... lol... well that's fine... it was only but 21 tracks... I want the fullllll... T^T *Goes to learn how to rip* ... wish me luck, my friends... I am going to embark on a journey to save Hyrule.

.-. P-Probably end up just going on this journey to find someone else who can rip... lol.

Soshimaru

... well... i've come as far as finding the audio files that were packed into a single CPK file... but i'm not sure how to extract the files from inside of it... anyone know how to extract .cpk files...?

I3arnaby
03-18-2011, 08:21 PM
How big is the CPK file? If you upload it I will extract it for you.

Soshimaru
03-19-2011, 04:51 AM
... wow... really...? ... you know how to unpack those...?

... it's umm... about 1GB. If that's not too big for ya... where and how do I upload it...? ... i've never done it before...

I3arnaby
03-20-2011, 01:03 PM
Split it into 500mb split with Winrar and upload it to megaupload if you could mate :)

Or if the requests are still open in the vgm legacy then request it there and I'll rip it for you. Link in my sig :D

Soshimaru
03-20-2011, 07:38 PM
... eep! ... this is gonna be interesting... i've never broken up a file with winrar... and i've never uploaded from Mega Upload... but i'll give it a go... may end up with about three files total... and i'm gonna use that little Mega Manager device they provided in hopes that it goes faster... is this a good idea...? ... because i'm working on doing it right now... lol.

Edit-- ... = ='' ... i'm just reading the last part of your post... lol... my apologies... now then... a Link in your Signature...? ... I don't see it... = ='' ... or any signature for that matter...

I3arnaby
03-21-2011, 05:45 PM
All my requests are closed now unfortunately. If you upload the file however I will still rip it for you :)

Soshimaru
03-21-2011, 06:46 PM
... haha... well it's a good thing i've already began uploading them... they should be done now... lemme check...

... ... ...
... ...
...

... okay... here they are... split into three files as I thought:

Sound File Part 1:
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TDS07Q3H)

Sound File Part 2:
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O6NMYSMH)

Sound File Part 3:
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=46AZQS5Y)

... also... this is probably the easiest thing to do out of all that crap I went through... but I apologize if those links are not... erm... links... lol...

... sorry this took so long by the way... the client kept freezing and I had to reupload them.

I3arnaby

No worries about the delays mate. Will download this tomorrow while I'm at school. Thanks :)

Soshimaru
03-21-2011, 07:04 PM
... woot...!

... you have my gratitude for your speedy replies, my good sir.

... enjoy your day at school, and please... take as long as you need with this.

I3arnaby

Well If it is a regular cpk then it won't take more than a few hours to rip. :D

Soshimaru
03-21-2011, 07:32 PM
... I see... I still find it oddly convenient that at the mere mention of a CPK file; something i'm sure is quite uncommon... someone who knows how to rip them was already here... while I had been looking elsewhere... lol...

... well i'm definitely not complaining and certainly am counting my blessings... I have one question though...

... when you say: "Regular CPK File"... are you implying that there are different types of CPK files out there...?

... = ='' ... because that will make me worry.

... from what I have picked up from surfing the web about this particular file... I find that it is called a: "Sega FILM/CPK File Format" file.

... they talk a lot about how this CPK file is in your computer and what not... but I find it ironic that this particular file I have uploaded came from a game that Sega actually had something to do with... lol... unless of course... Sega has another meaning in computer language or something along those lines...

I3arnaby
03-21-2011, 07:37 PM
I'm not sure if cpk is directly connected to Sega. I know that the format is CRI CPK and uses CRI ADX as audio inside :)

Soshimaru
03-21-2011, 08:28 PM
... haha... well... I pray that all goes well... and again... thank you very much for being my savior!!

I3arnaby
03-22-2011, 06:07 PM
Extracted the file. It's CRI ADX like I said it was. I'll upload it for you with a converter tool ;)

Soshimaru

Do you have vgmstream? If so can you get it? It would make my life easier.

Soshimaru
03-23-2011, 07:10 PM
... o.o ... well... no I don't think I have that... but it shouldn't be a problem if I Google it, right...?

... i'll try that now...

... okay this is the place where I got it from:

vgmstream | Download vgmstream software for free at SourceForge.net (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vgmstream/)

... how do I go about using this...?

I3arnaby
03-23-2011, 10:01 PM
It's a winamp plugin ;)

Soshimaru
03-23-2011, 11:52 PM
... ahh... I have Winamp...

... inside the zip I downloaded... there were four files... they are as follows:

COPYING.File
in_vgmstream.dll
readme.txt
test.exe

... what am I to do with these files...? ... how do I input them into Winamp...?

I3arnaby
03-24-2011, 08:43 AM
You copy in_vgmstream.dll into the winamp plugin folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Plugins). You will also need the external dlls which you can find here:
Download vgmstream external dlls zip at findthatfile.com (http://www.findthatfile.com/search-6581005-hZIP/winrar-winzip-download-vgmstream-external-dlls-zip.htm)

Copy those into the winamp root directory. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp)

Hope this helped

Soshimaru

n_n ... done and done.

I3arnaby
03-24-2011, 07:30 PM
Goood when I upload the files then they should play in winamp :D

Soshimaru
03-24-2011, 08:57 PM
... awesomesauce...

... umm... might I ask just how many sound files were in that CPK file...?

I3arnaby
03-28-2011, 07:35 PM
Uploading the files for you now :)

Soshimaru
03-28-2011, 07:43 PM

... o.o ... ohh thank you... i'm downloading them now but... they're a trillion times smaller than the original file I uploaded... is that what's supposed to happen when you extract CPK files...?

I3arnaby
03-28-2011, 09:09 PM
I deleted everything that wasn't music such as voices, sfx etc. ;)

Soshimaru
03-28-2011, 10:06 PM
... ahh... I see... so that's what happened... lol... I dunno why my mind was prepared to fish through the entire thing for all the music...

... i'm going to try them out now... thank you so much for all you've done here... n_n

I3arnaby
03-28-2011, 10:16 PM
No problem mate. Glad I could of helped :D

Soshimaru
03-28-2011, 10:28 PM
... everything seems to be working juuuuust fine... n_n ... o.o ... except that in the second file you uploaded were duplicates... and the most of the tracks were sound effects from the beginning of the game... where all the 8-bit noises were... lol... that aside... i'm finding all the songs I wanted so no complaints here!

... I must keep you close, mister... = ='' ... I never know when i'll be needing you again...

Well tbh I didn't check for dupes but oh well. Your welcome by the way guys :). Drop by the VGM Legacy Thread some time for more great stuff ;)

Well, I didn't forget about it. I just didn't know how I could help ^^"
But I've been waiting for this a long time ^^
I'm converting the files to mp3 format at the moment, so I can put them on my mp3 player XD

Soshimaru
03-28-2011, 11:09 PM
... lol... ditto... umm... by the way... what converter are you using...?

... i'm using Konvertor...

GospelDS
03-28-2011, 11:14 PM
I'm using Chun-Yu's MP3 Writer Plug-In for Winamp... I guess it's quite old, but works fine enough ^^

Soshimaru
03-28-2011, 11:18 PM
... oh wow... there was a converter plug-in for the Winamp huh... I guess I missed that... lol... well at any rate... we worked hard enough to obtain this success...

... I still wonder though... just what he used to open that CPK file...

... o.o ... lightning quick responses as usual... = ='' ... and now I wonder just how you were able to find this when I spent days trying to find something to open it...

... i've never Googled so hard in my life before... lol...

I3arnaby
03-28-2011, 11:32 PM
I have encountered these formats before and I just know these things ;)

Soshimaru
03-28-2011, 11:41 PM
... well then, my good sir... I stand impressed.

... gotta say though... I have learned quite a lot myself with this experience... I feel just a tad bit closer to understanding the ways of the Gameindustri... lol... Neptunia pun intended.

Can anybody please upload the converter MP3 tracks? I tried using the Winamp Plug-Ins suggested here but I couldn't manage to make them work, my Winamp would not list them on their plug-in catalogue, even when I copied both packs of files in the right directory. I'm using Winamp 5.6.

The Plug-In I use only works with Winamp 2.91. Here's a link with a detailed description how it should work, if you're interested:
