Here's a breakdown of how to rip some of the most common game consoles: Nintendo DS (NDS) If you’re familiar with tracker software, then SNES and NES will be a bit easier for you than for others, as there are more tools for exporting SNES and NES music to trackers than there are for exporting them to MIDI. In rough order from easiest to hardest, it goes like this: DS ➔ N64 ➔ GBA ➔ SNES ➔ Genesis ➔ NES ➔ GB/GBC Rips tend to be easier on some platforms than others, though this varies by game and by the ripper’s individual skillset. Note that wherever possible you should use a soundfont extracted from the game itself, not a fan-made soundfont you found online. There are tools which can extract sequences, soundfonts, samples, and synthesis settings, but they don't exist for every system, and the ones that do exist don’t always offer 100% compatibility with all games on the system, or 100% accuracy. Different game consoles have different sound hardware, though, and store and play sequenced music in very different ways. If a song is sequenced, then it is in theory editable. Many old games did this back when data storage was very limited, making the use of streamed audio prohibitive. The other type, sequenced music, is not stored as a regular audio file like MP3, but rather as a sequence of notes which the game plays in real time. Still, if you're not there yet, it's something to shoot for. An experienced musician may be able to reconstruct the entire song in order to edit it, or transcribe it in order to arrange it in a different soundfont (remember, you've got to transcribe it yourself), but this is much more difficult and requires a great deal more skill. It may still be possible to do a mashup or melody injection, or get creative with sampling, but it does limit what you can do. This is pretty easy to understand, but it also generally means the song is not editable, unfortunately. Streamed music is stored as an ordinary music file in the game data, such as an MP3 or some similar format.

This refers to the two primary ways music can be stored within the game data and played back. Not all video game music is easily editable, and it tends to vary by system.Īlmost all video game music falls into one of two categories: sequenced or streamed. In order to edit video game music, you need to get it into a format you can edit. Unregistered hypercam 2 (webmaster) Part 3: Getting Editable Music Our webpage is curently under construction.
