Hi, I've been trying to rip the soundtrack off "Megaman: Maverick Hunter X". I understand that there is already a game rip going around, but I would really like to make my own. I used UMDGen to rip all the files from the game onto my computer, and I'm trying to use HiMdRendererWin to rip the .AT3 file. But I keep getting an error message saying that it's unable to create the omgsrc file because of a missing codec.
The thing I find curious is that the .AT3 file is quite tiny, so there's no chance that the soundtrack is store there (If I'm saying stupid things, forgive me, since I've never done this before). But there is a file called rockx_pack.dat which is 390MB big, which I suppose is the one that has all of the game's data in it. Is there a way to access the contents of that file and rip the music?
Is the person who initially ripped the game in this forum? and if so, can you tell me how you did it?

Thank you!

.AT3 is the music file. Computer nerds have done wonders with music compression my friend.

All you need is to install sony sonicstage in order to use HiMdRendererWin to rip it. It has the missing codec you need.

Also, HiMdRendererWin doesn't work 100% of the time from what I was told. There's other programs to rip ATRAC, but I think you have to mod your PSP to do so.

I have a modded PSP, but how would that work exactly? I don't know much about this.

EDIT: Well, SonicStage can't play it, any other options?

Don't play it on sonicstage. You just need sonicstage installed for the missing codecs for HiMdRendererWin to rip it successfully. HiMdRendererWin should give you the option to rip into a playable format (ex. .WAV, FLAC)

You could get ATRAC3 Audio Decode Driver (it's supposed to let you play the AT3 files without ripping/converting them on your WMP) just to be sure, but that doesn't work for me, so I use HiMdRendererWin and create them into wav format.

As for the modded psp alternative. I can't honestly help you, because my ass of a friend still has my psp, so for me to even attempt to mod it, and test it out is a no-no.

But that's the thing, I already tried HiMdRendererWin and I still get an error message, it's not the previous error saying I'm missing the codec from sonicstage but one saying to "make sure the file can be played with sonicstage"

Hmmm... Well I never messed with the settings to sonicstage. I guess you make sure that sonicstage are associated with the files: ATRAC3, OMG, OMA, AA3

Or you can try installing ATRAC3 Audio Decode Driver just to be cautious, and then try again.

If I remember correctly, I never asked sonicstage to associate with any file. Just installed, and used the ripping program. I did however had installed ATRAC3 Audio Decode Driver before anything. So maybe that did help?

If you want PSP rips just request them in my thread,

I have the appropriate tools

I have a modded PSP so you can send the files to me to convert them if you like.

To acess files in an archive you have to use an extractor, I recommend Nova Extractor.

If you want my help just PM me or meet me on MSN.
