Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse (SEGA CD) Unknown codec by birdmanager6 at 6:43 AM EDT on August 26, 2015
I have been working on ripping Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse for my big SFX rip series (http://hcs64.com/mboard/forum.php?showthread=42565). I have completed 2 of the 3 parts of it, as I have successfully ripped the sounds from the SNES and Genesis versions. But I need help with the SEGA CD version to complete the rip. What's weird about the Genesis version's samples are that they're signed 8-bit, not unsigned, as it seems to be the case with the three Matt Furniss games I tried (this one, Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure, and The Lion King), as well as Animaniacs. They're also all at the same frequency, 9000 hz, which makes it easy to rip. So, I tried the same settings on the SEGA CD version. I found the appropriate files in the ISO, which I have uploaded in the link below, but importing them makes the samples sound...well...really distorted, and barely recognizable, even though they sound at the right frequency. I tried importing it at unsigned 8-bit, which would likely fix the problem in most cases, but strangely, it sounds exactly the same. Even ADPCM didn't work.

How do I import it properly? What codec does this game use? I read somewhere on another forum that they had trouble with Sonic CD, is this the same issue? Please help me...
Also, there is a sound test, but I said I have a zero-tolerance policy for recording samples from in-game, which messes up the quality, so I'll only use that for what I'm going to name the files.
PCM2WAV is probably what your looking for. I tested the snatcher version and it seemed to work right. Lunar version might work well too, but i heard there were issues with both.
