THE RiPPERS' STASH (Game Rips Directory Ideas)

I'd be happy to help out....and provide a place where people can upload their rips and make them easily available (and after someone finds out on this site that a rip exists of a certain kind of game).

Also, I get a lot of rips uploaded to my FTP from different kinds of people, which nobody might know about (because the ripper doesn't really make it openly available).
I could help out with this and make sure that I add new rips that I get to this database!
(and if we get more help from other FTP owners with this then this could definitely be a succes).

I do have a problem if people add rips which don't have specified tracktitles (or other info) or if someone just did a piss-poor job on a certain kind of rip.
(no editing, no loops etc etc).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

With a bit of work you can make a perfect second loop with sofware like Adobe Audition of these extraction files.
(Like I did with my extraction rip of Conker Live & Reloaded)
I can understand that some people may find this to be too much of a hassle, but i'm just a perfectionists about these kind of things.

The thing is, a lot of these kinds of rips are RARE or impossible for anyone else to do, and are often in great demand. For example, DVD_Rick is famous for digitally ripping loads of PS2 games which no one could do or take the time and energy to record and tag. The "problem" is that he doesn't tag them, but leaves them numbered. I say these kinds of rips should be added to such a gamerip index, but under a different "category" or something.

I'm not very fond of his rips, but there seems to be a demand for these kind of rips.
Some people obviously just want the music "no matter what".
On the other hand I can remember trying out one of his rips (I believe it was Alias The Game)...and the sound quality was just horrible.
If you're ripping then at least make it so that it's listenable.

I don't know if it would really matter if those kinds of rips would need to go into a different category.
The idea of this site is to see if a rip is available for a certain game.
And if you're saying that rips without tracknames and such should be included then it's just of secondary importance.
(the person can decide for himself/herself if they're gonna get the rip or not...based on the info given on this site)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
