- How do I play music from PSP ganes?
Depends on game.
Some use formats directly supported by media players or VGMStream (MP3, NPSF, ADX).
Some use formats not supported by any player (HCA). There are separate decoders available for those.
Most games use AT3 files (either Atrac3 or Atrac3Plus), and they are a bit messy.
Some versions of VGMStream (foobar plugin and special Winamp build kode54 did IIRC) support Atrac3Plus (but not Atrac3), but always loop all files, even 2 second jingles and are based on a unclean, unlicensed code.
There's a DirectShow plugin for decoding Atrac3 (but not Atrac3Plus), which doesn't support looping information at all.
There's HiMDRenderer, which can decode some Atrac3Plus files (44100kHz Stereo), but needs to have installed a long unsupported Sony program.
There's also Sony's Sound Forge, which can decode both types but is a commercial program with license costing $300+
Both Atrac3 and Atrac3Plus have been supported by open source FFMPEG tool, it's just that nobody has yet added this to VGMStream plugin. Maybe with the amount of PSP sets pmh will have, someone will. Time will tell. :)

- @Knurek: FFMPEG and VGMstream component (since FFMPEG doesn't support AT3 looping) do the trick. Thanks.

- I myself am disappoint with the track names for the GBA version of Aladdin, considering that I have essentially ripped the Midis myself. There's several tracks that are "Unknown #" despite them having the same names as the SNES version

- I just wanted to credit a couple of KCE Nagoya's GBC games' composers; hope posting here works.
Junko Karashima:
It's a World Rally/International Rally/Cross Country Racing
The Mummy
Rie Fukuda:
The Grinch
Found all these via the games' credits.

- Are vita games' music being ripped yet?
- by Knurek at 11:46 AM EST on December 30, 2014
- Not to my knowledge...
Just 3DS from the current portables. It's still a while till pmh reaches Vita's premiere, things can change.

- Damn, I was hoping to find Tales of Hearts R and Tales of Innocence R rips around :( I'll have to be patient then

- I was looking at the upcoming schedule and saw UNKNOWNFILE's Donkey Kong Country 3 GBA rip should be coming up soon. I figured it was worth mentioning a couple of things about it.
The game itself has a sound test, where titles can be sourced since the current set doesn't come tagged. The tracks in the sound test are in the same order as UF's set.
Problems:
a) Track 11 has different names across regions; the US version calls the track "Banana Queen" for no clear reason (it's not heard when encountering the Banana Queen, so ...) while the European release calls it "Jungle Ambience" which seems more reasonable.
b) More severely, track 13, "Enchanted River", is broken in the US version sound test (and UNKNOWNFILE's rip). In-game, the track is dynamic and changes based on whether the player is in or out of the water, but in the sound test both try to play and fight for channels due to limited polyphony in the Rare sound engine and everything goes to absolute hell. The European version "fixes" this issue by just playing the underwater version in the sound test, so the land version is simply not available in the sound test at all. Ideally, a GSF rip should probably include both versions independently, though this would presumably require manually adjusting the file/s or ripping them again.
The European release was published earlier but seems to have ended development after the US version since it fixes a few bugs and such, including the above, so I would suggest that that should lead to its naming being preferred.
This info all comes from the TCRF article on the game. Personally, I'd just say play the SNES version and get on with life, but the current extant set is even less satisfying than it would be in its complete state.

- Am I the only one with download problems? Every time I try to download a bigger file I get a size mismatch error.
