I got into learning to rip music from game files specifically to access tracks from more obscure games. Among these are a fair amount of music using traditional Japanese music and I'm enjoying it a lot.
Would anyone be able to recommend more video game music in this style? Thank you!
Here are some examples: https://www.mediafire.com/file/1izkg225dn9wx7p/traditional.zip/file
Here's a link to the AFS file in question.
To clarify, i really wanted to rip the music from Barbie Dreamhouse Party (3DS) and i also want to do the same thing with Rise of the Guardians (Wii). So, i just went to looking in the files of Barbie Dreamhouse Party, and i have only packfile.dat and a bunch of .raw files in the sound folder. The only thing i can see a bunch of .hnk files are How to Train Your Dragon 2 (Wii/3DS). But at least i can extract the BCWAV file from Torus' 3DS games.
How can i extract the music from there? Are the .hnk files hidden inside the .dat file?

But it lacks of any executables download for Windows. I have tried to compile it using "make Makefile", but all I get is:
make: Nothing to be done for 'Makefile'.
Someone could share the executables compiled or explain in a newbie way how can I compile it?
Thanks

The file header is S10S (53 31 30 53).
Here's a sample .AST file:

Tried doing some research over at xentax.com and zenhax.com, but came up short. Am hoping some collective wisdom here can help out :)
For those about to try, thanks for looking into this!
I've recently started to check single platforms for gaps and updating existing rips.
Since the beginning I've included:
- !info.txt: basic info about the process, what's included, notes etc.
- !Extras.7z:
* every QuickBMS script I wrote/used
* sometimes an extractor
* config files (*.xml, *.cfg or similar) that contain info about the music
* the whole "nullified" game folders (i.e. a 7z file that includes the complete game files but substituted with zeros to compress it down to a few kbs)
Here's the script I wrote to nullify (just write to the disk root):
get SIZE asize
get NAME filename
get PATH filepath
putVarChr MEMORY_FILE SIZE 0
string NAME p "%s\%s" PATH NAME
log NAME 0 SIZE MEMORY_FILE
What do you think about this? I think it gives much more insight into the ripping process and might clear up some questions.
Especially interested in your thoughts about including the complete nullified game!
I know there are plenty of MIDI files of this games soundtrack all over the internet. But I noticed that some songs are a bit different from the ripped PC files. (Like Those who Fight having a counter melody on the flute part or Those who fight further having a counter melody on the strings).
The PS1 version's PSF files can't be extracted using VGMTrans so I was wondering if someone would be able to extract the MIDI files along with some PSF or soundfont files?
I'd highly appreciate if someone could help!
