I'm not entirely sure what I mean. On Saturday morning, I started a downloaded from your page: The Two Towers gamerip. It took all day because something much larger was also being downloaded. While I was waiting around for it to finish, I found another thread with the Lego Star Wars music. Honestly, I thought I came back to this thread, but I guess it was somebody else's. So never mind for the confusion.

deleted

I figured it stood for GameCube music--it probably does, because I'm pretty sure Lego Star Wars wasn't made for Gameboy. By the way, what format are your soundtracks typically in? And could I expect THE GATE to reopen?

deleted

Matrix: Path of Neo, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Peter Jackson's King Kong
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (PS3+Xbox360) isn't in the list?

By one request at a time, do you mean
1. Requesting God Of War 1-3

Or

2. Requesting God Of War 1 & once that is done, request something else & so on......

i ask because reuesting one a time can mean either 1 or 2 so i ask which one are u talking about.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

i make it a point to always ask for this info so the rippers dont get a chance to argue with me over 2 many requests. u can what u want, but gotta admit, nothing wrong with it. its actually a good thing i do this. more ppl should. it'd lesson any tension that may arise.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

i feel the need 2 request something before i get a reply as that question pertains to a series. examples could be: (God Of War, MG Solid. but this request is not part of a series.

For PSX (PSOne) - Wrestlemania: The Arcade game - I had this game for the PS console.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

"I haven't looked at Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS but if I get a request, I don't mind trying. Shouldn't be too hard..."

Can this pertain to any of these as well - NES, SNES, N64, Arcade?

Yada, yada, yada.

Can you not read?

Requests are closed at the moment.

apologies for the oversight. i did not need to be notified by OrangeC, who should've just mided his own damn business especially if hes as busy as he claims to be.

thanks for telling me though.

Are the requests limited to certain games or consoles? How do you go about obtaining a game for someone's request?

Does this mean that R.U.S.E. was impossible?

No worries mate, if you don't have enough time then that is fine. ;)

STATUS REPORT

- The Matrix: Path of Neo -
PC/Xbox versions are finished! =) Both had exactly the same music files. For the PS2 version, I have posted on XeNTaX requesting help regarding the main WAD archive because the header differs from the one of the other platforms and I have no idea how to get to the files. Maybe I'll have to use a workaround but after all, it seems quite possible to get the files. Oh and, none of them has any names given.

- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II -
Currently renaming the PC version files. All files only have a file ID as name, the real names are inside a huge 8 MB XML file, so I have to search for the IDs which obviously takes quite some time. Have downloaded the other platforms but not looked at them yet. I hope that they have the same file IDs, otherwise I'd have to do the renaming several times...

- Kane & Lynch: Dead Men -
Downloaded the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 version. Currently trying to get hold of the structure (PC version for now). The header information is saved externally and with no clear pattern, the music files are saved among the other sound of the single levels. This might be quite hard to rip but I' doing my best.

- Peter Jackson's King Kong -
Downloaded all platforms (yeah, SIX of 'em!), already finished the PSP version. The others shouldn't be too hard either but of course I have to give the older requests the higher priority.

According to kataah dead men uses multichannel pcm with variable sample rates.

Dude, thanks a bunch for the Crash Tag Team Racing rip. Your transitions between the different race segments sound seamless, great work.

sorry if this maybe the wrong place to ask this question:
I downloaded your Max Payne 2 rips and came across an .ads file. I managed to extract the audio using the tools you posted but i was wondering if it's possible to extract the video stream of it as well; or if not possible, then atleast to be able to play the video. Or does that file only have an audio stream and no video stream?

thanks.

P.S. You've done a great job!

deleted

What's the current progress on the last four rips?

I think I have a way to get out Darksiders SFX (not sure about the music). It's FMOD .fsb files. I have a tool that can pull them out one at a time but not every archive at once (painful with around 2.2k individual fsb files). If I make any progress I'll let you know!

/edit Some of them can't be played/opened in Audition even though they're mp3. Hmm..

/edit

Okay, I was able to extract them using MusicPlayerEx, but that doesn't give them any names. At least I have them now. :)

/edit 3

Horray, MusicPlayerEx cuts off sound information off the tail end of the SFX just like it did for Dawn of War 2. 70% of the sounds are useless.

Music is in here, too.

Combat sound effects and such are definitely contained in the various .oppc files (I think these are different for console versions of this game). I'm pretty sure the files contain mp3's, like the fmod files, but they might still be fmod formatted.

I dunno, I'm not experienced in this. I tried, though. :(

deleted

Thanks a lot man!! Impressive work! Congratulations!

I can't even imagine how hard was to rip it, but from other hand you've gotten a huge bunch of experience! ;)

Something to do on a rainy day :D

Did you use that Path of Neo music extractor at all or did you go it alone for this one?

Thanks a lot for this, pal.

deleted

- Kane & Lynch: Dead Men -
No further progress so far, still stuck on the file structure.
:sad:

deleted

I'll have to write my own script for it as the file information is saved externally.
Is the file information saved that way on all platforms?

Took another look and asked Kataah for help. I've finally found the music. =) I'll have to write my own script for it as the file information is saved externally. If it's multichannel PCM I'll have to relay on Kataah's knowledge because I haven't dealt with that until now.

kataah has told me of a little work around before.

Open it in an audio editor as raw pcm, save as a wave pcm and it will generate a riff header in the file, supply a channel count in that header like 4-6ch and open it in a surround audio program like sound forge or audacity

Hi, Alpha23, thanks very much for all the work you have put into creating these rips.

I have a question regarding links - where the link is dead (the link I have tried is for X-Men Legends originally uploaded back in April '10) do you do re-uploads? I am not sure if that would be considered a request or if requests are purely for games not yet ripped.

Pete

Good luck mate, aluigi himself couldn't write a script for that archive. File names would be grand :)

Good luck pal! ;)

Hm, that was one of my old rips where the source files are now lost, so I'd have to do it again... Maybe you better ask here if anyone still has it to re-upload.

Thanks, I will keep that rip in my wanted list - I have about 30 games that I haven't found yet, I will start the search with the first five titles in the Request thread.

Can I request a reup of the Uru: Ages beyond Myst rips?

hi i'm looking for stonekeep [pc], ravenloft [pc], traps & treasures [amiga], cannon fodder [amiga] and clive barker's undying [pc]

Just wanted to stop by and ask you alpha as to why is every single one of your links dead?

Well, at least the ones I've checked.

deleted

How is Kane And Lynch?

Only the streamed versions are up now - I cleaned my HD and Megaupload account, will do streamed re-rips of the old ones from here if requesed. Maybe you can ask around if anyone still has the edited versions.

Well, that's the thing, some of your streamed rips are gone.

I wanted to redownload the SF: Dark Mirror rip (not the dynamic one) and it's gone as well as SF: Logan's Shadow, BF: Bad Company 2 and a bunch of other links I clicked randomly to see if everything was dead, which is.

But don't worry, if you don't have the time to re-rip them that's ok, I have a back up plan.

How's TFU2 coming?

Alpha23, I have searched so hard for this OST and am eager to hear your ripped version which I'm sure is phenomenal; however, I cannot access the link from Megaupload because it says the link is no longer valid. Would you be kind and send me the link to that or direct me to a link that I can download it from, please?

I think it would help if you stated what OST you are talking about.

Good Point. I thought I said it, but I was speaking of the X-Men Legends OST. Not the second one.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

James Would you be kind enough to send me a link or a zip file of the "X-Men Legends" OST that Alpha23 ripped last year? Unfortunately, I didn't get to download it by the time he had closed the link, but I've been eagerly searching for this OST for some time now. Much appreciated if you could do that for me.

Hey people, I hope someone could help me.

I've decided to try to rip SF: DM for the PSP and managed to found the stuff I was looking for, now I've tried converting these tracks into a playable .wav file, but failed miserably.

Could someone take a look at them and tell how to decode them in order to convert them into some .wav files?

Hi, Alpha23! I'd like to request the Bodycount for PS3 or X360 which ever one is better to rip.

Already took a look there and asked on XeNTaX for help - no answers so far. :-\

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------


Yeah, that one sucks bad. I've once taken a look on the PS2 version but couldn't find a way to extract the main archive. Might take a look at the Wii version though. I already uploaded the PSP version some time ago, maybe it suffices for now?

I've been told it's all original/released music that you can get off the Concord albums. Thanks for looking into it anyway.

Hmm I remember Killzone 2 using MP3 in the core files and there was a filetable somewhere. Maybe that was KZ3. Oh well thanks anyway. Hmm Bodycount uses XMA segments on Xbox. Almost definately segments on PS3, I remember reading that PS3 used MP3 somewhere but don't hold me to it.

Could you could look at inFamous (PS3) then? - Amon Tobin, James Dooley, Mel Wesson & Martin Tillman

Hi, I would like to request a rip of the sound effects from Darksiders, if that's possible. Voices, monster sounds, sword swings, impact effects, ambiance.ect... if
you can rip it, I want it :]

is there any way to convert .aax to mp3?
Get foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/), get vgmstream plugin (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_vgmstream) and put it in components folder. After that aax files are playable/convertible to mp3 or any other formats.

STATUS REPORT


Darksiders (re-rip & sfx)
I'm currently trying to get hold on the sound effects. Had to write new scripts to fasten up the procedure. Some are mono, some stereo and some are 4ch and need to be parsed. Found out that I missed one video in my last rip. Strangely there's one video in particular, which I can't find. Each video has an XMA file with the speech. There's one speech file where I'm missing the video. By this time I suppose they somehow forgot to make it as a WMV video and quickly programmed it as an ingame cutscene. Note: Apart from the intro movie, all other movies aren't pre-rendered.


inFamous
Downloaded the image again and AGAIN there are errors in the XVAG files, like last time. Something seems to be wrong with the images floating around... If someone can download some different images and see if the XVAGs are played right, it would be a great help!


Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Xbox 360)
Looks like this version is the same as the PS3 version as it also uses uncompressed multichannel wave files. But to be sure, I'll compare them later on.


Dark Sector
Not downloaded yet... But as I remember it isn't that much of a fuzz, just a bunch of XMA files (wave files respectively) in FSB containers, movies are multichannel BIK.


Lost Odyssey
4 DVDs? Really? Well, downloaded the image but sorting out will take a while since the files are nameless, so I'll have to sort out the music manually. Movies are unnamed WMV files.


SOCOM: Combined Assault
Not downloaded yet, but will do asap.


NBA Jam: On Fire Edition
Seems to use EALayer3. Haven't had any experience with that codec yet - I'll have to ask for help on XeNTaX.


Looney Tunes: Cartoon Conductor
Finished - will post later =)


Soviet Strike
Downloaded both Playstation and Saturn images and - surprise, surprise - I can't find the music! Seems as if this game uses some engine-specific midi format, which means that it's unrippable. But I'll do some tests with PSound and some other tool to check if it's not the Playstation *.ps format.

Alpha if you can send me a sample from nba jam file maybe i can take a look.

Thanks for looking into Soviet Strike. Maybe I'll take a look on psn version.

Thanks for accepting my request Alpha, you're the effing BEST =3

RE: SOCOM: COMBINED ASSAULT,

It's ok, I am a patient man, Alpha. Thanks again :-)

Does anyone know how to convert these file names:

*.aax, *.adx, *.dsp, *.genh, *.ss2, *.strm, *.vag, *.vpk, *.xa, *.iadp, *.xadp, *.xma, *.tak, *.aa3, *.at3

...to.mp3's or .wav's?

PM me if anyone knows how to.

My god can you quit being so beggy and read the first post? Are you that desperate that you need people to explain everything for you?

I am not desperate! I am only just curious!

I don't know what format the audio files will be in, so Ithat's why I have to ask a question about something important!

then open your eyes and look on Alpha23's signature if you are SO curious. :D

Thnak you, but since Al (short for Alpha's username) made an update, I'll look at the format and then ask how to convert from that file name to that of another. :)

Could you get the music for Jaws Unleashed?

I think requests are closed.

As Alpha stated: Enough requests for now, gotta keep track of those...

GATE CLOSED

UPDATE



Far Cry 2
Streamed Xbox 360 and PC Rip

music by Paul Haslinger
171 + 5 tracks
03:04:01

original format: OGG / XMA / UbiStream / BIK
release format: OGG / XMA / UbiStream / TAK
quality: 48kHz/44kHz stereo
style: orchestral

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HNNEXHQX)
350 MBStraight forward rip. Sadly, no file names available. I included both XMA and OGG version because neither has worse quality but contains different frequency data. If you mix the according OGG and XMA 50:50 you'll get a better quality version of the track. You can easily use wavewizard for this. If you need help, just post here and I'll add a section into my guide thread.
Music is nice. =)

ENJOY!
Alpha23 hi.

Reupload this score, please.

Alpha, thanks a lot for Lost Odyssey! I'm the guy who asked you about it on XeNTaX. :)
You've done a good job finding the extra music I was telling you about, and you've found much more than I have.
However, there's still some (really small and not very important, but I like completion ;) ) music missing. That's probably because you made a selection of the files.
That's why I'd like to see the new scripts you used. You included a SDRH scanning script in your archive, but it's just an empty file. Did you use the upgraded scripts from your XeNTaX topic?
Thanks, and again, well done! :D

deleted

Far Cry 2 will need a re-rip (I deleted all my old rips).
Okay, next time then. :)

Thanks for Lost Odyssey amigo.

Hey Alpha,

when do you think you'll upload Looney Tunes: Cartoon Conductor? :)

reupload Darksiders re-rip please

deleted

I see what you mean. ^^;

Maybe I can wait a bit longer for you to try and fix them. :)

Just a quick update on Dark Sector: Apparently my last rip got all the frequencies wrong! The files I originally thought were some duplicates with only 1kb size are actually header information files! All files have really strange frequencies like 44552Hz, 48528Hz or 48658Hz... Will need to write a script that automatically adds these headers with the info of the header files.
That is unusual. Dark Sector always was a tough nut to crack :D
Really looking forward to your update, Alpha.

deleted

Hellz yeyz! Alpha man you're awesome, thanks a ton for Dark Sector re-rip!

Hi Alpha.
I was wondering if you could make a rip of NFL Madden 2011.
That game has a really great soundtrack. I tried to rip it myself with no success.
Thanks.

Edit ; Sorry, pal. I thought the gate was open.
Never mind.

Finished Kane & Lynch: Dead Man Xbox 360, will upload asap. =)
*2 thumbs up* :)

Brilliant. Thanks man!

Did anybody tell you that you are a fucking god? Thanks for Sonic Generations, been looking for that raw rip ever since the original MP3 uploads.

Hey Alpha Looking forward to Darksiders sfx rip, you really are kind for helping everyone :D

Can you re-upload this soundtrack.
Thanks.

Well, aparently now someone did. ;)
Glad you like my uploads. =)

You're welcome. You read my mind - I didn't see it requested here, and was about to when I spotted that you'd already ripped it.

Hey, Alpha?

Did you get my PM that I sent you?

i cant convert .xma files to wav, its so frustrating and yes i have my noob helmet on lol

Is the gate open yet?

can we make a request?

Clearly not, since he's not replying saying the gate is open. My request might have been impossible to do. And no, it wasn't The Old Republic.

Mine is. Let's see who's first.

Hey Alpha! It's been a long time since we heard from you.
Hope everything's allright. And Merry Christmas to you all, pals.

what gate?

Gate open = requests open

Would it be possible for you to re-upload The Matrix: Path of Neo? Thanks!

You're not too late, Alpha23 accepts requests until he decides that's enough, there will be a sign saying "Gate Closed".

Boiling Point: Road to Hell
And Cold Fear

I believe it's one game a time per person, the rules can be seen on the first page of this thread.

. . .

Alpha23, I'd like to request Alter Echo for PS2 or Xbox.

You�re right. But i believe it�s too late, because my request was the Rouge Squadron Series, means also actually three games:
- Rouge Squadron on N64 and PC
- Rouge Squadron - Rouge Leader on Gamecube
- Rouge Squadron - Rebel Strike on Gamecube

I believe it's one game a time per person, the rules can be seen on the first page of this thread.


Oh, my bad

Can I request Sonic Generations 3DS? You ripped the music from the XBox360 version, but there's some awesome music in the 3DS version too.

Can I request Halo: CE?

Can u rip Dead rising 1's stream files for an "Alpha23's streamed VGM thread"?

Boiling Point: Road to Hell

If you searched a bit you would see that Pie`s rip (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f72/my-game-rips-60802/#post1159681) (#84) as well as OrangeC`s one (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f72/orangecs-goldmine-stuff-52892/16.html#post1153367) are still up and running. You could attempt searching for it ever since you came up with this suggestion for the 1st time.


Alpha23, I'd like to request Alter Echo for PS2 or Xbox.
HCS ripped it quite some time ago for both platforms. A mirror for Xbox version can be found here (http://www.emuparadise.me/music/xbox/Alter_Echo/594) but for PS2 one which is a few times bigger you have to sign up for their tracker. Don`t know if the latter has much more tracks or simply has a different and more space-consuming codec though.

Still encrypted I`m afraid.


Can I request Halo: CE?
Would be nice to see anything of better quality than PC version.

If you bothered reading down his
REQUESTABLE GAME SOURCES AND OSTs
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsilW5Z4gQMDdHRJdkpNaEdPb1loREI3bWNuNmd6N FElist you would see that it`s already ripped and probably uploaded, so the one interested just needs to request it to be posted but not ripped.

Great! Thank you for directing to this rip. HCS knows what he's doing ofcourse, though how did you know it was done by him, since it emuparadise doesn't seem to provide any credits to respective rippers? Also I'd be interested in comparing Xbox to PS2 rip, where did you see that rip on their site? sorry I can't find it.

And as for 3DS games, yes indeed it's not possible to extract the contents of the roms yet.

@JBTND Thank you. Heh, right now, I got nothing. :P

Maybe this? I don't know.

How did you know it was done by him?
There was a torrent with exactly the same contents on Underground Gamer as well as HCS own tracker but since both have disappeared by now you can only trust me on this one. Reasons for removal of the UG one are uncertain for me but the latter has probably been deleted because of 30-days inactivity rule that came along with new tracker policy. So Xbox rips collection by HCS crew on Emuparadise is currently the only mirror left unless for some reason you decide to request it from HCS himself and download it from his tracker.


Also I'd be interested in comparing Xbox to PS2 rip, where did you see that rip on their site? sorry I can't find it.
The site is available at bt.hcs64.com, torrent name is "[RQ] PS2 rips" but since there`s just one person seeding it and Alter echo set is 1.30 GB it can take you months to get it completed because HCS speed is really, really low. Surely there`s an another person who`s not even registered but has decent speed but he`s far from completing it as well (34 % currently). Don`t want to scare you off, just telling you what`s the situation. And if you decide to join anyways don`t be afraid of rules, they`re so strict just to prevent massive leeching & hit-and-run that took place in the past and to encourage newcomers at least to seed what they`ve grabbed off tracker. Some shortcomings of that are still not gotten rid of; for example HCS himself is the only one who`s seeding that PS2 rips collection while there surely were others and many of them downloading it before the rules were revisited but you see no one came back to speed file-sharing up.
BTW name of the rip in question says [PCM][OMU - SS2]. Maybe there`s a single PCM track but there`s also a possibility that bigger part of PS2 audio is lossless. Unfortunately database with track listings of every rip done by HCS is gone for good as it was wiped out by Dreamhost along with sub-domains like psf.hcs64.com, dsf.hcs64.com and others. These sub-domains dedicated to their own platform were moved but VGM DB was never restored. If it was still working you could check out how many tracks are in which format.

Gerbur, when you requested Halo: CE did you mean the original game on Xbox/PC or the Anniversary on Xbox 360? or both?

Oh crap, should have specified.

Original Xbox/PC version, I dislike the remastered music of CEA.

@ JBTND : Interesting stuff, I will look into HCS's torrent site. Thank you for all the info!



You don't need to search for already availale downloads of rips - if I don't already have it, I'll rip it. ;)
Sounds good, I'd appreciate if you could rip Alter Echo for PS2 only.

i have a request, alpha23

can you upload the metropolis street racer OST (Dreamcast) in 320 kbps version? when you can. i'd appreciate it much

thanks in advance

Gate is closed I'm afraid... :-\
If you look at the previous page in post #961 I made a request while the gate was still open.
But of course I'm not going to insist... it's your call man.

Whoops, sorry, my bad. ;) Downloading now. =)
No problem and thank you!

Ok, enough for now... ;)

GATE CLOSED

But the hint to my requestable rips could be vital here. =)

So which requests did you take on exactly? I'm not clear on that.

Alpha23, hi.

What about Wet? When will you able to upload it?

deleted

Any update on my old request for a stream rip of SOCOM: COMBINED ASSAULT PS2? Thanks in advance...

deleted

thank you for the force unleashed in native format!

Alpha23, thank you very much for Wet!! :) Love these tunes.

P.S. Do you remember what was the size of the archive with music files, which you have ripped? I'm asking, because you've uploaded 112 MB archive, but the one I saved on HDD has size of 191 MB. Just curious.
P.P.S. I have sent you a PM almost 2 moths ago. It was about DVD ripping thread that was posted few years ago by you and lately deleted. You didn't answer to this message and to the next one too. So, I would like to know, is there a reason why you don't answer my PMs? Or is it just forum's glitch?

Regards.

@ Alpha,

Yep, I remember those action tracks in SOCOM 3. As far as I can remember, the layered action track always closely resembled a full mix (no loop) in the ingame level streams before it.

OK, anyway, thanks for the update.

Oh, super thanks! The Russian choral theme is awesoooooome. Will download soon..,

Checked it out - uses its own MIDI format. Thus unfortunately unrippable.

That's unfortunate. Oh well, whenever I have the time, I'll time try and do some more ripping by recording it.

Thanks a lot for dual rip of Alter Echo, Alpha23!

The game was garbage, but the techno-ambient OST is great. Thanks!

lol thank you :D
