Following directly in the footsteps of my Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum gamerip comes another gamerip of a Pok�mon DS game... that actually already has multiple gamerips. Lol
After making the Platinum rip, I found myself yearning for a HGSS rip of the same caliber. So, with the bit of free time I had recently, I put this rip together. It's ripped exactly the same as the last rip, so no interpolation and straight from the 2sf files. One small change this time, however, is the inclusion of a FLAC rip, because I know how much everybody loves FLAC and due to the requests I received for a FLAC rip of DPPt. I know this game has been ripped several times already, but I still feel that this rip offers a very crisp sound when compared to some others, nice album art, and a clean tag job. I changed the order of a few of the tracks, making it slightly closer to the order you hear them in the game (ex. moving the Wi-fi songs to after the Global Terminal track, moving the Pok�athlon tracks to right after the National Park, moving the Battle Frontier songs to after the Pok�mon League, etc.). The album features several tracks not on the OST. Additionally, I separated the album into two discs, the first being the main ost, and the second being the Game Boy Sound tracks (the 8-bit recreations of the GBC ost). I proudly present my rip of possibly the single most nostalgic game ever for me:


Pok�mon HeartGold & Soulsilver: Original Soundtrack



Info: FLAC/MP3 V0 (2SF, decoded using Winamp, NO Interpolation -> FLAC), 282 Tracks Total, Fully tagged (number, artist, title, year, album art made by me), each track plays two times and then has a 10 second fade.

UPDATE: Version 2.0, now with louder volume, better sound quality (more true) and minor tag corrections, is up (main album only!)! Enjoy!

I might have time later tonight, we'll see. Tracklists are always a pain for me lol

Also, through listening to the soundtrack it is possible that some songs may be missing album art(?)
No clue why, either way though, this is why I always include art in the folder, so please utilize that and reapply if you are missing some. Sorry about that, thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a ton for this ! It has always been a shame Super Music Collections for Pok�mon don't loop

thank you

Excellent ripping/tagging job here. Now if only you could give your D/P/Pt rip the same FLAC treatment...

Thanks, but, sadly, that likely won't happen because the wav files are long gone, and I'd have to re-rip and retag the whole album. Thanks again for checking out the rips though!

Okay, to address the tracklist concern, I uploaded an HTML file of the tracklist. This was MUCH easier for me to do, and I know that nobody will mind downloading a tiny file in order to read the tracklist. Thanks again everyone!

Thank you so much! :D

Any plans for B/W/B2/W2?

Any plans for B/W/B2/W2?

Actually, no :P
I have a couple reasons for this. I feel that the official soundtrack is really good, the official soundtrack loops properly (which is the main reason I ripped these two (DPPt, HGSS), because the official soundtracks did not), and BW are tough games to rip as they use very 'crunchy' soundfonts (they sound pretty harsh if not edited. I know this happens with HGSS, but it is waaay worse with BW).

Thanks for checking out my rips though!

Version 2.0, now with louder volume, better sound quality (more true) and minor tag corrections, is up (main album only!)! Enjoy!
Also, as a side note, I am giving my Diamond/Pearl/Platinum rip the same treatment, and will finally upload that one in FLAC as well, so be on the lookout for that in the near future!

Thanks a ton for the update!!!

Edit: hmmm only the GBS versions are in the folder. I'll wait then

Yeah, I am experiencing technical difficulties at the moment. I put up the comment announcing the update under the impression that they would be finished uploading by the time I hit send, but something is going wonky with my internet and/or MEGA so the uploads are taking an absurd amount of time to complete. Hopefully up by this time tomorrow though!

EDIT: Everything looks good to go! Enjoy guys :D

take your time man. It's no rush

No problem, it's ready to go!

Listening to it now and holy moly it's a huge improvement! Thanks a bunch for your efforts ' v'b

Awesome, glad you think so! I actually made another version of the rip a few weeks ago (that I never uploaded) where I tested a bunch of weird effects and stuff, but this one I uploaded is basically raw. Been listening to it lots and am very happy with it as well. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you very much for this collection!

Thanks for this, but Version 2.0 asks me for a password and i can�t find it in this thread here.

Oh man I did it again! I always forget to put the password up. It is kirbyhammer7, and I'll add it to the OP. Sorry guys!
