Trying to rip music using Psound...
 

Hi guys.
Trying to rip some music from Drakengard for PS2 using Psound.

Trouble is, the files it displays don't really help.

It displays the following files (to scan for music etc)


MODULES (Folder containing IRX files, none contain any sound)
FACEEU
IMAGE
MOVIE0EU
MOVIE1EU
SLES_523.22
SNDIMGEU
SYSTEM
VOICEEU



FACEEU displays a list of files, but they make no noise when trying to play them in psound. Plus there's only 39 of them. There's at least 48 on the OSTS for this game, so I know that can't be them.


IMAGE displays over 4000 results. Yet they seem to just be sound effects. I was still willing to go through em all, but they just repeat themselves right up to the end. There may be only about 400 sounds repeated over and over in the list.


MOVIE0EU displays one file that displays 'invalid file' when I try to click on it.


The rest contain no files found by Psound.



Do you guys think you could assist me with locating the music on this PS2 disc?



EDIT - Obtained Cube Media Player.
Took forever to find all the audio files, but it did so, although the vast majority are sound effects, there are over 200 files that look like music!
But Cube media player won't let me play them, it says E: EXPORT ONLY media. And it won't let me convert them (the option is greyed out)

Any help on what to do here?




EDIT - Ok guys, I figured out how to convert them into .ss2 files. Problem is, the only thing that seems to play them is Mfaudio, and it only plays them for less than a second. What went wrong? was it my conversion or something?

Psound works great for me.

As long as you don't use tongues ^


BTW I was able to find a few pieces of audio not used in the game. Fairly interesting pieces of music.

But every single Event music (on the NTSC - J disc as well) contains the exact same voices and sound effects over it as the game. And obviously the FMV cutscenes do as well. It seems that even though obviously SE have access to the library to allow recording of the English voices over the Events, they don't have one audio file for the music and one audio file for the voices, just one audio file with everything splcied in together.


Annoying. I guess the only thing left for me to do is to contact Takayuki Aihara or Nobuyoshi Sano and beg them or ask nicely for some unpublished music from the game.
