Need help ripping .alb files. by Waterblad64 at 10:53 AM EST on December 22, 2019
I am currently trying to rip the music from an obscure Japan-only WiiWare game called Line Attack Heroes because no one seems to have done it yet, and because it was composed by Yoko Shimomura (my favorite video game composer).

I extracted the game's files via a program called "ShowMiiWads", and I've found that much of the game's files, including sound effects and music, are all stored in .alb format (the music, in particular, being stored in a file called "BGMALL.alb").

I couldn't find much about this file format online, so if anyone familiar with extracting WiiWare games could help me out, that would be wonderful.
The Thing || "filename.PAK_#.wave by Jack Krowell at 6:30 PM EST on December 23, 2019
I'm having some trouble with a 7z file from joshw for The Thing video game.

There's these list of files that I have a hard time figuring out, and they could hold some valuable game music within them. One of those list of files has the following name:

"Intro.PAK_66.wave"

When I ran the file through Foobar2000, a playback error occurred stating the following message:

<u>Unable to open item for playback (Missing ACM codec):
"E:\Video Games\Soundtrack Files\TT\Intro.PAK_66.wave"</u>

Any advise you could provide on what is happening please?

I'm also providing a downloadable link for the list of files I'm talking about:

Sound Bank .bnk Extraction Problem by LordWaycrest at 8:13 PM EST on December 25, 2019
Hi,

I’ve been seeking to extract audio from a game that has been shutdown called Just Survive (previously known as Just Survive). They store their audio files in Sound Banks (.bnk) files, and because the game is owned by Daybreak Games which is a Sony company it is extremely difficult to extract the audio from these files, I did know somebody who managed to extract the audio from them for me but he is no longer around it seems and I’m not quite sure what to do so I asked around and I got redirected to your website, I tried some of your extractors and they’re not worked for me, I must be doing it wrong so I was wondering if anybody has a clue on why they won’t extract.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Sound Files? by UTNerd24 at 2:52 AM EST on December 27, 2019
So I noticed that despite Jak 3 and Daxter having links to their ripped sounds, I can't seem to find anything on The Precursor Legacy. As one of my first PS2 games, I fell in love with the atmosphere and trippy energy sounds from the Eco. So I was wondering if anyone here could rip the sounds from the game? Voices are optional. Wether it be from the remaster or the original. I would be forever grateful.

And yes, I did see that there was a rip back in 2012, but that was before I knew about this site, So my apologies if it seems a hassle to ask for the same thing again.


EDIT: Unfortunatley, I have no knowledge of how I would convert said files if or when they are posted, so if they are RAW, I might need a few pointers as to how I can convert them.
The only few instances I found are comparison sounds on TCRF, so I guess thats a start.

EDIT 2: I discovered something called PSound. I think I'm on the right track, but now I'll need an ISO. Thres 3 problems though. Firstly, asking for a link is Piracy and that's obviously against the rules, second, even if I were to look for one myself, theres lots of shady looking sites and I don't think I should take the risk. Lastly, and probably the biggest problem is that I used to have a physical copy of the game but sold it years ago. Assuming that having a copy would work means im probably SoL.

Some further clarity would be appreciated.

.MIB file || Advise on ripping game audio. by Jack Krowell at 2:35 PM EST on December 27, 2019
Yeah so I have a very important question on ripping audio files, most notably ones in .MIB format.

Is there any proper way in ripping audio files in .MIB format, where they won't sound all garbage like when playing them in Foobar2000?

The reason for this topic is because I'm wanting to learn how to rip game audio files myself, without having to depend on others to do it for me (I hope you can understand that).

Is there any way at all to carefully, and perfectly extract .MIB files stored within the .iso/.img of a console game, to where it can properly separated/split/de-interleaved into different channels in audio software such as Foobar2000?

Please, I really need your full support, and your best advise here.
NDS Tracker Format by Fleety at 1:46 AM EST on December 29, 2019
Is it possible to rip a DS game that uses a tracker format? The game I'm interested in is Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force, which uses FastTracker, and can't be ripped with music translators like VGMTrans since it doesn't use midis. Every other game composed by Bart Roijmans for the DS uses it as well.
Using a DS emulator you can isolate each instrument channel, which has been useful in recreations but isn't efficient.
The music.bin file in the files isn't easy to work with, putting the .bin file in Audacity gave nothing but noise, however encoding it gave some (but not all) of the samples [very distorted and loud at some parts]. It would be nice to know if there was a way to accurately rip these games.
Red Dead Revolver (PS2) .bd and .hd by Puterboy1 at 11:57 AM EST on January 1, 2020
They contain the sound effects. Anyone know of a way of extracting them or perhaps making them playable in VGMstream?: https://zenhax.com/download/file.php?id=7775

How to play .mab files? PS4 songs by ff7fan123 at 7:01 AM EST on January 7, 2020

Simpsons Game PS3 .smb and .sbk files by Puterboy1 at 10:58 PM EST on January 9, 2020
Anyone want to look into these? I think they contain the sound effects: https://zenhax.com/download/file.php?id=7803

According to adsfguy86: “.smb file seems to contain file paths so it's probably a file pointer, the files that the .smb lists are .exa files so i want to say the .sbk has some sort of compression.
.sbk has a header of "knbs" (ascii) or "6B 6E 62 73" (hex)”
