Does Nova Extractor rip PSN AT3?

Like the title says. I haven’t been in the ripping scene for quite a while, but I decided to rip a couple PSN games that haven’t even been thought of being touched.

I have been looking inside of a couple psn games, and took out the at3 files from the music folders, but I have no luck converting, scanning or anything with them. I tried the nova extractor method that was used for PSP, and himdrender, but still no luck. Any solutions to my dilemma? Thanks in advance.

So do you mean that you extracted music out of respective game folders and are sure that format is AT3? Because I thought that PSN games as well as XBLA titles & DLC come as single extensionless files and hex editor is needed to extract individual files. Maybe you mean that you scanned such game dumps with Novasoft extractor or likes and considered files with WAVE header to be AT3? Makes sense but be aware that since both formats usually have WAVE header they aren`t the same: AT3+ is mostly used in PSP games (HiMDRenderer was made to work with this format from the start) and while AT3 can be found in some early PSP titles it`s more widespread on PS3 so that PSP ripping tools may not work with it.

Anyways you can always install an Atrac3 codec (http://free-codecs.com/download/sony_atrac3_audio_codec.htm) and if files become playable convert them with the means of players like Winamp or (possibly) any audio editors. You can also try converting AT3 to AA3 which should be compatible with Sony Sound Forge (but you can skip this step since this is the way AT3+ should be treated unless I`m mistaking it with simple AT3 this time) using this script

log NAME 0 SIZE MEMORY_FILEcan come in handy given that the files you apply it to are headerless. This way trying and checking different frequencies and bitrates out can result in playable tracks. Hope it helps.

PS. And almost forgot! Since PSP uses a bit different AT3+ for actual music and movie audiotracks so that you even have to use different scripts to extract and convert these two the choice of scripts may depend on whether you`re ripping music or movies from the game.
