Here is the complete rip of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin's soundtrack. There are 50 tracks. The Megaupload link has the whole set in one archive, while the Rapidshare and Zshare links are in two halves.
Here is the album art. If you'd like a higher resolution version of it, I have up to 1280x1280...

Again, my apologies for the poor rips before; hopefully this rip is better. If there are any tracks that are poorly ripped, please let me know so I can fix them.
I no longer have access to a torrent tracker. My apologies.

Sweetness. Now if someone would only put up a playthrough with cutscenes (of sorts) on Youtube or something.

Just go and buy the game!

Thanks for zshare links, they are much better.

Bad quality. too much distortion on guitar parts.
Beware.

The one on the other thread, (incomplete rip 12 tracks) sounded better.

OMG I love you so much!

@Juni
Bad quality? I didn't notice. The game's music just kinda sounds like that in game to me, but I'm not an experienced ripper by any stretch of the imagination.
My apologies for any poor quality - I can rip the songs again if you'd like; it's no trouble at all. Is there an optimum setting I should record the songs with?

No need to be an asshole juni

Thank you very much

Thanks, TBM :)

Thank you for this!

Thanks, but does anyone know who composed the music for it?

I downloaded part one, and you did a nice job with the ID3 tags and everything - I appreciate it. But sorry, it is a bit too distorted.

Same here , i appreciated to all the rippers, whoever worked hard on rips, but its distorted, have to call spade a spade.

Check other thread, there is guy who posted

( If you want to download them, use this site: http://www.dowint.net ) "

^^ sounds much better, i mean less distorted.

If you can match this quality and give me some samples to judge.

Update: Here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS5G2pGHDOw

Check the bass of guitar in this one, your rip guitar parts sounds too shrill.
That is giving distortion.

I don't want anyone to get angry with someone for telling it like it is. I'd like to provide the best possible rips I can, and I don't want anyone worrying about my feelings when critiquing the quality. That said, I don't think I'll be able to do the rips properly with my equipment. I recorded the songs at the highest bitrate or whatever that my system would allow me to. I'm going to give it another shot; maybe my line-in plug is messed up or I'm just doing it completely wrong, but I'm going to try again and replace my links with the (hopefully) improved soundtrack. My apologies for the bad rips.

That's great news. I appreciate your effort. :)

Before I make a horrible mistake, I'd like to confirm this here: The only way I was able to get Track 6 to sound somewhat like the one track linked to in the YouTube (That other link provided does not work) was to lower the Sample rate to 22050Hz from the 44100Hz I originally was recording in. Is this a bad idea? I'm somewhat new to this whole ripping-without-distortion thing, so I don't want to ruin it with a misstep. Er, ruin it again.

Better.

Thanks ric, lol really it sounds better.
Do you have more of same quality you mentioned gfaqs board on youtube but i cant find

I've managed to achieve this quality with my latest rip, but since that one has been uploaded there seems to be no need, unless multiple loops per song are important to anyone here. I have some high resolution album art to post, at least; I'll post it when I get home from school. Thanks for the rip, Ric!

Mogman, that isn't too bad though I'm sure it could be higher quality. The main problem is the lack of ID3 tagging. Guess I could do it manually. Thanks anyway.

Edit: Oh wait, I don't like how Brenner's Theme ends... sorry man. :(

Edit 2: TheBlackMarket, I think multiple loops are favourable.

BTW...The game was scored by Yoshito Hirano

@Turbodrive
Heh, I found that out when I finished making the cover art from the Manual. I'm kinda ashamed that I didn't think to look there in the first place. I have Illustrator, so I was able to make very high resolution album art. The album art should be within the tags, but if for some reason it doesn't load, I've included it in the rar file.

@Shaun
My rips loop maybe two or so times I think... I used the game's music player in its repeat all mode, so it loops however many times they loop there.

I'm uploading my new rip with the better album art and less distortion... (I hope.) If there are any tracks that sound sub-par, let me know so I can fix them. The megaupload version of the upload should be finished about a half hour from now, the rapidshare should take a bit less time and the Zshare doesn't let me know anything. I'll update when it's finished.

[EDIT] I no longer have any of the stuff related to this uploaded to my site, so I'm removing the links to artwork and etc.

BTW...The game was scored by Yoshito Hirano
Thank you.

@TBM: I'm always appreciative of people taking time to rip music, so thank you. Have the links been updated since the original post? I've been listening to the ones I just downloaded, and they seem to be a little noisy. I'm not much of an audiophile, but I agree with juni (in the sense that I've heard better rips), so was just curious about your 2nd attempt.

No, those links aren't changed yet.
My internet connection got knocked out for a while, so I've had to get prepared to upload them again. I'm actually on my third attempt; I uploaded one set before my connection died, but after giving it a second listen, it sounded horrid, so I tried again. Hopefully this set I'm uploading right now isn't bad... it sounded fine to me, but I'm always ready to try again if this set is unsatisfactory.

Hopefully it won't take more than a half hour to upload.

The links are updated.

nice rip thanks

Thank you a lot for re-uploading better quality ones - much appreciated.

Oh and thanks for shedding light on the composer too!

TheBlackMarket, that's awesome. I like the album art too. :) Will look great on my iPod, hah. And I didn't realise Mogman's rip had no loops with no fading out until today as I only really listened to Brenner's theme 'til the end. I like the quality in Mogman's though.

Anyway, I only just got home so I'll download your update version now. Unfortunately my ISP uses a shared IP for most customers so hopefully Megaupload will work... *tries link* Actually, I'll assume the Zshare link is updated so I'll try that one and give you feedback. ;)

Edit: Oh, I just read that you updated the links anyway. :P

Whoa, that's ten times better, TBM. Thanks so much for a job well done! :)

Awesome. Thanks, man.

Wow thanks!

Thank you sooooooooooooooo much. Quality sounds alright to me and definitely good enough for me to put it in my collection.

Thanks TBM, you are awesome !

For christ's sake upload somewhere real or use a better technology altogether if you can't afford the bandwidth, like BitTorrent. I can't get these downloaded for the life of me.

Thanks so much for uploading this!

Honestly, I preferred your original upload over the "improved" one, but it's good nonetheless. :]

@Core_12
Somewhere real? Any suggestions? I'm just going with what I normally see everyone else posting around here. I could easily upload it to Bittorrent or to my own site, but I was just going by what I was requested to post it with. Shall I ready a torrent for you?

@Shirona
To tell you the truth, I preferred the old one as well. The improved one sounds a little too much like someone ran the actual game's audio through the ol' Youtube music grinder for my tastes... That's why I kept the old one on my Zune and made this one for everyone else... ;)

Could you? I'd be very thankful. It's just that my crappity-crap router keeps dropping my connection every once in a while, which usually isn't a problem, but given a 100+ megabyte download, it's unfortunately common for it to freeze midway. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem either since my download manager knows how to pick up where it left, but these free web hosting services mask their files in a manner where this is impossible (the link is only valid for one download). If you have your own server and all, you could upload it there and send me the link via PM if you're worried about bandwidth.

On a side note, I think the "recommendations" for file hosts are for people who don't have their own.

Good to know I'm not the only one who liked your original versions better. They weren't perfect, but at least it doesn't sound muffled/distant like the "improved" ones. Thanks!

Thanks for this, and great job on the album art, by the way.

First of all, thanks for a great rip!

However, I think I have to agree with the others that the second rip is a lot like the original NDS audio. I'm no ripping expert either, but I know that it is possible to do direct extractions from DS ROMs.

Seeing as I can't find a good way to do an extraction, though, we may have to stick with direct recording. Is there any feasible way for you to get the best parts of both rips into a single, final, "perfect" version?

Oh, and where can I find the 1280 x 1280 album art?

I know this was an awesome game, even though I haven't seen it... For me, this one of those "spare the moment and listen to something new" downloads, just like those Touhou series downloads i found...

Hey thanks alot for this, I really appreciate it

I must admit, Juni's link is really nice

wow thanks a bunch mate!

Well...?

You'll have to excuse my absence. I haven't been at my home for a little while, so I haven't been able to update this. My apologies. I do have the high res artwork handy, however-

[EDIT] I no longer have any of the stuff related to this uploaded to my site, so I'm removing the links to artwork and etc.
I won't be home until Monday. My apologies.

Thanks!

BRENNAR! I WILL FOLLOW YOU EVERYWHERE

Yeah, I'm actually with the people who say the first rip was better. I think thats the general feeling actually - I've kept the first rip. It's much clearer than the second and I've gotten used to it.

im a total newb, how am i able to listen to the rips i cant with windows media player can anyone help me please.

Still waiting.

Never mind, I fixed whatever was wrong with me and downloaded the big package.

But, aww, it's so quiet and subtle, like it has no edge or attack.

Is anybody paying attention to this thread anymore?

I still am. I've been checking this board and topic every day for close to perfect versions. I think increasing the volume without losing sound quality would really help since it's pretty quiet compared to my collection of songs. All I can do is wait since I don't know how hard it is to really rip songs like that.

TheBlackMarket seems to have forgotten about us.

Still waiting...

Same here for anyone or any other site.

Still waiting...!

Crap! I'm SO SORRY! I forgot about this completely.

Unfortunately, the original rip and this rip were both lost in a drive crash. I'll have to re-rip them if I can't find them in my archives. I've also got to install some torrent software on my site, good gracious I can't believe I overlooked this for so long...

Wow, good to know there's still possible progress on this game. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a torrent tracker.

Thanks a bunch, mister!

Nice, thank you very much!

I tried ripping a few songs myself as I only have the second rip and didn't want to download again.

06 - Proud Soldier - Gage (http://www.supload.com/listen?s=SL5FXAFW8RUX)
38 - Next Destination (http://www.supload.com/listen?s=03T7L35NJBIQ)
47 - Power Up (http://www.supload.com/listen?s=F03LE34NY1SN)

Are these any good? Also I have no idea how/where I should cut the endings. I used the same timings as TheBlackMarket's rip minus the fade into the next loop for now.

I recorded with +8dB of gain then encoded to mp3 with Lame 3.97 with 160-224kbps VBR and switches "-V0 --vbr-new -q2". This of course was an accident. I re-encoded with "-V2 --vbr-new -q0" and got smaller files and probably closer to the original waveform. Still a DS rip at 160kbps+ is basically transparent anyway, I should probably do 128-192kbps VBR really.

Crap, that made me realize that I did not unrar the two rips as I originally intended to. My apologies. I shall make another torrent.

Just make sure to keep the other torrent going for those who haven't finished it yet.

Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a torrent tracker.

To Geyzer:
Well personally I think your rips are quieter and a little more muffled than TheBlackMarket's. I'm no expert in ripping so I can't say any more than that.

To TheBlackMarket:
I'm assuming these two versions are your two rips from a while back? Or is the "new" version an even newer version that's been improved in this past week? Just wanted to ask since I already have both of versions from when this topic started.

They're the old ones. I didn't rip the soundtrack again.

great post!

Thank you for this!

Yeah, same here. :D

im having trouble downloading the songs... can anyone help me?

I'll help you out. First, what is the nature of your problem? Do you know how to download torrents? Are any of the rapidshare links not working? What sort of trouble are you having?

i've downloaded the file from megaupload but when i got to play it it sais that its not supported by my programe and somthing or other about an r.a.r...

Oooh. You've got to install WinRar to open .rar files. A .rar file is a container that holds other files.
If you are using Windows, please download this program and install it: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar371.exe
After you install the program, you will be able to open the .rar file, which contains the music in .mp3 format.

okay! thanks so mutch!

Gahh... nobody is seeding the torrent for the unrarred new and old anymore... can someone help?

My apologies for the lack of seeds. I've begun to seed that torrent again.

Much abliged, suh.

I know I'm really late here, but I always wait until I beat a game before I download the soundtrack, and I finished the game 10 minutes ago. Haha. If anyone could seed on the last active torrent link for a little while, that would be awesome. =)

I just found a full rip somewhere else, is this a new rip or just another upload of TheBlackMarket's?

http://host.kg13.com/music/Advance%20Wars%20-%20Days%20of%20Ruin%20(NDS)%20Game%20Rip/

It's the same as TheBlackMarkes' rip

http://host.kg13.com/music/Advance%20Wars%20-%20Days%20of%20Ruin%20(NDS)%20Game%20Rip/

Well, that totally worked for me. I appreciate the link!

Okay... I just had a look at the kg13 link and it was a bit too subdued for my liking. I'm assuming this is TBM's second rip. I can't compare it to the first one because the torrent tracker has seemed to have conked out.

Is it possible at all for somebody to put both versions on something like tinysong.com/grooveshark.com? I'm only after one track (We Will Prevail) and that way we can enjoy it at work/school/other people's computers.

lol gamerips
just listen to the 2sf set

The 2sf set has abysmal quality for the streamed songs, that is, all the character themes. Until a better plugin is made or something, gamerips are the best option. It's still a shame that no one has done a really good rip though.

I'm afraid the link for the torrent including both versions is down. Did you remove it?

Great!!!! I really like the rips.

Thank you!

buggers hope im not a bother but the megaupload is down again
and the other one says only premiun users may download

many thanks in advance for the advance wars oh ho ho

*Dr. Morris made me tell the bad joke*

Yeh, I just signed up so I could download this OST.
I loved this game's music and Youtube is too lame to have HQ rips.
You just made my day TheBlackMarket.

This game is full of shit, i didnt like it, nothing compared to AW2 and Dual Strike.
Didnt even like the soundtrack

So did you even download the soundtrack from here or are you just taking a swing at it just because you didn't like it while playing the game?

You should thank the uploaders anyway if you downloaded it here even if you didn't like it, but keep your mouth shut if you didn't because you'd have no participation in this thread to make such a comment in the first place.

YouTube is a great way to listen to many soundtracks before you go wasting your time to download it and then blabbing away at how you hate it and making yourself look like an arse.

Sorry, i just wasnt in the right mood.
I downloaded it from another uploader.
but yeah, ty for the op for uploading this, the one i have is unTagged, going to take this one for collection porpuses.

Well I've played both Advance Wars DS and Advance Wars DOR and I can say that I liked DOR a little bit more than DS.
The past Advnace Wars games seem to feel much like a child's storybook or something like that, that was they charm that the Advance Wars series has.
Then Days of Ruin comes out and it is like an entire new game.
Sure, past Wars World fans are going to complain but I LIKEZ NEW THINGZ unlike other Nintendo peoplz that like to pay for the same game they have played lik 5 yearz ago!

Now we just need a game where GTA and Super Mario Galaxy are mashed together...
Super Pimp Mario Galaxy...the raise of the Mario Mafia!
You know, where Bowser is the drug lord and the Mario Mafia doesn't like that idea...well going off topic here.

I've played both, I like days of run for what it is and Dual Strike for what it is.
I like them both, although I wish they carried over the War Room from Dual Strike to Days of Ruin...that would have been interesting. BUT COME ON! You could make 50 custom maps and even upload/download from the wi-fi server!

Thanks man, awesome quality ^^

Hate to bump an old thread, but can I get a working download link please?
