Help! Mario & Luigi 4: Dream Team MIDI & SF2 rip? by Arcanuman1 at 1:58 PM EST on January 25, 2020
Hey guys.
I'm a content creator on YouTube who makes soundfont remixes & orchestrations of video game music.
I used to mostly use old fan-made midis for my songs, but as I've become more proficient & computer literate I've begun to rip & use midis directly from the games themselves, which I largely have you all to thank for, the PSF/PSF2/2SF rips & ripping tutorials in particular have been quite handy. :D
However, I've hitting a roadblock as far as my layman's knowledge goes. I'm in the middle of doing a soundfont tribute to Yoko Shimomura, taking songs from her old games & remaking them with the Kingdom Hearts 2 soundfonts. I've hit some snags, such as her excellent OSTs for Radiant Historia & Luminous Arc 2 being streamed ADX.
However, my current impasse baffles me. I've been trying to figure out how to rip MIDI/SF2 files from M&L 4: Dream Team, & I'm completely lost. They're in a .RSD format, & the only thing I've been able to find is a 10 year old custom file converter for Roland music files, but it says the files are too large, plus I doubt I'd get the SF2 I'd need for the drum loops, sampled vocals, etc.
If anyone could help me figure this out, or just get a definitive answer of whether it's actually possible, it'd be greatly appreciated.
