I've been looking around here for awhile, and I found one lonely topic on ripping PSP games to your computer... but is there anything particular that you'll need to do after that to rip music from the game?

I'm interested in a few PSP soundtracks that don't have a CD release, and want to possibly try to rip them, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There are at least two known ways to rip PSP music so far. Alas, they don't work all of the time, yet from my experience, I've been lucky with the majority of the few attempts I've tried.

1. Download and install Sony's ATRAC3 codec. This will allow you to open the PSP games' *.at3 music files and convert them.

2. Another method is described here: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=6087
You'll have to download Sony's Sonicstage and HIMDRENDERER. Follow the steps and you should be able to convert the *.at3 files.

If one method doesn't work with a certain game, try the other. If it still doesn't work, tough luck! There might be other ways, but that's all the knowledge I've gathered so far.

How ya doing, buddy?

There is the standard line-in method of ripping, isn't there? Or does the PSP even have a headphone jack? :/

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Indeed, I didn't mention this method since it's always possible (or almost; you need an output from the system and that the audio isn't protected), but it's good you've put it in place here, correcting me.

And yes, the PSP has an headphone jack.

And I'm interested in snagging the music from an RPG that has a big soundtrack. So... XD;;

That might take a little longer than I really want to use. *laughs*

But thanks for the help, guys!

Most RPGs for the PSP seem to have their own proprietary formats, and so they're not always easy to detect if they're stored in archives. VAG is a commonly used format for Playstation games in general and there is a possiblity that you might encounter this format. If you do, there's always PSound - it should be able to decode the VAGs. Best of luck!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think that it would be possible to make a PSF-like format for PSP. That is provided that the different sound file formats on the PSP discs are not too specialized.

Which they are, mostly. Besides, I don't think we'll be seeing a PSF-like format when there's VAG and AT3 in use, among others.

I did my Exit, Kingdom of Paradise and Rengoku's gamerips via the headphone jack, you know ._.

yea thats the only way to do it really. I use my IRIVER PMP-130 for recording and such. Just get a line in cord and plug it from your psp to your computer. If you don't have a mp3 recording device that is. Get a sound ripper.

I guess that isn't really anything new for the Playstation. I know that there are Playstation games that can't have PSFs ripped because they use some type of alternate music format. I miss the simplicity of consoles that just use a standard, easy to rip music format.

I realise this is an old thread, but I just cannot find answers anywhere.

I want to rip some music from my PSP games, and I have read about the "line-in" method via the headphone jack.

What do I need, specificly, to be able to use this method to rip music from my games?

Thanks in advance,
Walleye.

This one is a start.

... But this one's better.

EDIT:
I know the latter is 100ft, but I didn't find any 6ft gold on radioshack. Anyway you got the point that gold is better.

Thanks cubed. I had a look around, turns out I had a working cable lol. I've started to record some music now. Quality is excellant.

For the majority of my PSP rips i use Rimo's method, however some games have there at3 files stored in bigfiles. You can scan these with nova extractor or dragon unpacker, it will show up as WAV though because at3 has a RIFF header in them, but it still is at3, rename the extensions to at3 and it should decode with HI-MD renderer.
