Could be a translation error, but it's interesting that he mentioned composing on the console. Was there some type of DAW? Is it available somewhere?

Anyone know how to rip them? Thanks in advance!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate soundtrack tags
I'm not sure how much I'll be able to contribute yet. If anybody knows of any other spreadsheets that are already out there (or rips that have some tags that could be extracted with MP3tag), fill free to merge the information so people don't have to do duplicate work.
My main contribution so far is doing a file name comparison of the previous streams from previous Smash Bros. games to find which songs are new streams.
My hope is for people to eventually create a combined "ultimate" soundtrack compilation of all Smash Bros. soundtracks, giving preference to streams that have higher bitrates and versions of songs that appear in lossless form on official soundtracks. The preferred order would be based on the official sound test order.
My preferred length would just be playing the song all the way through and having a 16 second S-curve fadeout if the song doesn't have a natural ending (which would match the official soundtracks better), but somebody could also create a two loop version as well for those who prefer that.

Ran it through VGMToolbox on PSF Data Finder and it only extracted .SEQ and .VH
VGMTrans also shows the same result. There are 32 files for each of them. However, each .VH only shows 1 sample.
If you want to take a look:

I want to ask you for possible help.
these days i try to extract commentary audio file from SEGA WORLDWIDE SOCCER 2000 EURO EDITION, a dreamcast game.
I try PSound but program don't recognize file when I scan. One big audio file are contains many subaudio files, and that big file is .AI8 format.
I extract whole audio file whit gold wave but whole comentarries are in one file marge together, i want those file to export splited, if you understand me. I used many program but no effect.
For whom it may concern. I've added support of .mp3/.ogg playback and NeoGeoCD/PC/FM Towns/Mobile catalogues of JOSHW into my chiptunes player called ZXTune.
Take a try and welcome to discuss:)

As you may remember I pointed out here (look for the last post on this page for original message) that the rip by !!!!! which I reuploaded and mirrored might be buggy / bad because at least 3 tracks ended very abruptly and with minutes of silence where it shouldn't be. Anyway I wasn't really planning to rerip this game myself at that time.
Well recently I stumbled upon this topic and decided to test author's BMS which should support MGS4. It didn't work out too well - not only the script is very slow it unpacks everything without extensions & doesn't output readily playable tracks with expected MTA2 headers.
If extracted files are edited afterwards (a portion of data from file start is deleted so that there's an "MTA2" string at offset 0x0) and saved with *.MTA2 extension they inevitably crash a player with VGMStream installed.
I searched a bit and discovered Konami DAT Utility by Sonix from this tool pack but it couldn't open any of my sample *.DAT archives (screenshot).
Finally I learned there's a program by HCS and that was quite a breakthrough: as soon as I started using demux_dat_be.exe on DATs it became obvious that this utility was used a lot while making !!!!!'s rip because naming scheme was the same. I still wasn't satisfied with results as an executable stopped dumping files to HDD wherever it encountered any unusual / untypical info and that left me with very few MTA2 tracks unpacked from DAT bigfiles (like 300MB worth of files from a 2GB bigfile). Here's what it reports on such occasions: movie.dat & demo.dat errors.
1 more thing: it looks like original ripper didn't deal with a single demo.dat (that notorious 12.3 GB monstrosity which is well known on the Net), he seemingly found / downloaded / made tinier demo#.dat (not less than 17 such files) and used demux_dat_be to rip lots of audio streams from those custom archives. Could he use Simple File Splitter or 7-Zip splitting tool? Those progs can divide any given file into multiple parts with the same sizes for each part (only the very last one is normally smaller).
It would supposedly trick demux_dat_be.exe into believing there's nothing wrong with input data and let it skip some troublesome parts of a huge initial archive (demo.dat but maybe movie.dat as well) but it should also lead to broken files (for example the ones with lots of silence in the end, the ones I mentioned earlier and put here for anyone to inspect) and it's highly likely. Even if he did precisely that and it sorta worked I don't want to follow his example & make another faulty rip, I gotta find another, better method!
At this point I have 2 main courses of action - a) to contact author of that BMS and suggest that he improves extraction of archive contents or devises a way to process unpacked tracks to make them ultimately playable by vgmstream OR b) to turn to the man behind demux_dat_03 tools and ask him to look into DAT samples & possibly update his executables so that they're able to dump all MTA2 streams stored in DATs (my main focus is demo.dat + movie.dat but there might be 2-3 more bigfiles I'd like to unpack correctly).
That's all for now, Ultrafighter over and out!
