Game Ripping at Wikipedia
I started this article over at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_rip_%28audio%29 What do you guys think? Please add to it or modify it if possible. Thanks! Jam it back in, in the dark.

Looks awesome! I can see this article being expanded in the future (I might contribute at some point). I fixed one typo, I'll see if you can guess where.
There's nowhere I can't reach. Mario Kart DS: 498293-921939____ Star Fox Command: 155-576-696-451____ Metroid Prime Hunters: 4854-1233-4943____ Final Fantasy III: 506891214495____ Xfire: freuser____ Steam: Free.User____ |
I'm amazed that there hasn't been an article about this until now, to be honest. How long have people been doing VGM rips? I have no idea myself, but I'm sure it must be about a decade, if not more.
How ya doing, buddy? |
I've been there for a very long time, but I start contributing to the gamerip "community" when I got Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance on PS2 and I start ripping at that moment. And "gamerip" was already a common word in the forum. So it's been a while. Probably a decade yeah.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? ---------------{ Currently playing }-- ... Nothing.... really. -----------------------{ Last rips }-- Trauma Center New Blood (Wii) Trauma Center Second Opinion (Wii) Planet Puzzle League (DS) ---{ Currently in ripping progress }-- Dragoneer's Aria (PSP) Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS) -----------{ Other stuffs about me }-- My VGM Collection (last update: mar. 03, 2008) -------------------------------------- |
I think the menu bar at the bottom of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Sound_Format, which deals with PSF's and the like, might be a good addition to the page, and some of the categories are good candidates for inclusion too.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Looks good to me. I'm not familiar with Wikipedia's rules in regards to questionably legal activities like game ripping, but would it be kosher to include links to the websites of common recording/extraction/editing software? Examples could be EAC, FMV Extractor, Audacity, and maybe Total Recorder. Also, an explanation of common recording setups might be in order. You know how there's a question about hooking up a playstation to a PC sound card and what cables to use around here every so often.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Double Post:
Also, the other stuff you mentioned sounds great. I'm not going to work on this article any more for now, but you or someone else can go right ahead and add that info. FELIPE NO

Reason: Automerged additional post.

Yeah, they do all have a legitimate use, so I'd imagine they'd be okay to link. Well, I might fool around with it at work tomorrow then. =]
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Depending on the wording of any given game's license agreement, you may be breaking the terms of the license... and that would mean losing your privilege to play the game, not being brought to court. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I probably shouldn't have used the word 'legal'. I know that making a backup for personal use is legal, but Wikipedia isn't funded by the US government, so they don't necessarily have to allow anything the government would. After all, the recording industry has gotten away with suing over things that merely have the potential to piss in their cornflakes.
Anyway, that aside, Cal makes a pretty good point about Wikipedia not being a how-to, and that's why I haven't done anything with it myself. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
where can more details on the "Extracting from uncommon audio formats" method be found?

I always thought wikipedia was more of an encloypedia then a 'how to' website so I'm a bit dubious how wiki admins would react to those website links, still as long as you keep what you typed up on record you can't lose anything either way. Who knows maybe the next big thing will be an encloypedia 'how to' website?

I have some very imporant news that needs to be brought to attention. Please read my ENTIRE post before going anywhere else. Someone has changed the entry and entered this;
I didn't change the entry because it might be useful in backtracking who edited the paragraph and uploaded the virus. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
FELIPE NO |
I think it's pretty obvious...he's vandalized that article numerous times before, if you look at the history.

I'm not a big Wikipedia nut, but somebody could probably add this page to the watchlist here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped..._investigation I just don't know if these malicious edits are severe enough for it to be listed there. Jam it back in, in the dark.
