No Straight Roads by ChillyBilly at 9:48 PM EDT on September 29, 2023
Okay, so first and foremost, my sincerest apologies. I saw this one requested a few times a while back, but I simply didn't have the time to reupload it until now. Anyway, here:
^Note that I basically uploaded the entire sound folder here, so this set is completely untouched (well, aside from the extracted movie audio). I didn't bother sorting out the set because me and wwise-based tools, simply put, do not get along very well, lol. But as long as that's not an issue for anyone, well, enjoy! :)
@ChillyBilly - Added a proper No Straight Roads rip based on the data but note that PC/PS4/PS5 versions have a newer patch with more songs that Switch lacks.
Thanks for your recent rips, a few comments though:
- for [unplayable] rips, best add some date in the notes.txt when files are unplayable (or maybe don't mention it) Otherwise when support is added those notes become meaningless and confuse people. See Ys X, support was added and [unplayable] removed, but notes.txt are untouched so it says files are unplayable but aren't.
If you aren't sure if they are encrypted (can't be fixed in vgmstream) or vgmstream just needs to be updated, best post them here first.
- some people have complained about rips with too many unsorted SFX (such as GigaBash) When you have banks with many uninteresting SFX and few jingles/music tracks, the usual thing is adding a few .txtp that point to good tracks for quick access. They are easy to write manually, or you can use this tool to autogenerate .txtp from banks and remove useless ones (drag and drop, needs python installed and vgmstream-cli in the folder).
If it takes too long to sort them it may be better to post the rip here first, so somebody else can prepare it, rather than uploading something hard to listen with so much SFX (having to find bgm among hundreds of SFX every time).
It's fine to include SFX that are musical/jingle-like (like other rips of yours), I just mean unrelated SFX (slashes/explosions/etc). Banks with only those should be removed.
@bnnm: Ah sorry, missed your post since my last visit here. Anyway, first off, thanks for organizing the NSR set! As for the PS4/5 versions, dunno how long it'll be before I have enough time to look into it (if someone else doesn't beat me to the punch first, at least), but I'll see what I can do if I get the chance. No guarantees, though.
Next, as far as unplayables go, I'll keep your advice in mind. Now, in regard to SFX.... generally, I DO make sure to filter it out whenever I can, but when they're part of a big sound archive (.bank, .fsb, etc.), I simply don't have the time to go picking needles out of haystacks, lol. I actually just uploaded a set a short while ago that has a .bank with some SFX mixed in (AK-xolotl), but hopefully this one isn't too bad, heh. And then there's the case with some certain games where SFX are technically part of the BGM (like in rhythm games), so I'll intentionally leave those intact. Again, I'll see what I can do, but if worst comes to worst, I guess I'll once again take your advice and post the problem sets here, instead. With that being said, until next time!
Hi, I was wondering if anybody could please rip the music from スイカゲーム (Suika Game)? They recently updated the game with multiple languages and even a added a Halloween theme (that BGM is kind of addictive too.)
Has anyone extracted the music sets from Bluey: The Videogame yet? It's just been released today, and it uses the Unity engine.

"Problem" sets by ChillyBilly at 5:22 AM EST on November 17, 2023
So yeah, as promised, got a couple to post here:
Blasphemous 2 (Has several banks with more SFX/ambience than music tracks, no time for me to sort out)
Sonic Superstars (REALLY surprised nobody posted about this already. Anyway, files seem to be encrypted, since they don't play right for me. Guess they need a key? I ran into a similar issue with a Kamen Rider set I uploaded to the frontend a while back)
Yes, @ChillyBilly. The BGM files for Sonic Superstars are encrypted, as I've just checked them and they might need a key. In fact, I had ran into this same issue with 404 Game RE-SET back in April, when the game's ProloguE demo was released.
The HCA key for Superstars is already in vgmstream since weeks. You just update your vgmstream copy and they'll play fine. However, the ADXs didn't play, just noise.
The music for Sonic Superstars still isn't playing properly for me, despite updating my vgmstream build foobar2000 plugin... Like 404 Game RE-SET, they will need a proper HCA key to work...
The HCA key for Superstars was added in this commit. Did you download it from vgmstream.org and not somewhere else? Just in case, the plugin in the foobar2000 components repository isn't updated regularly.
Tetris 99 (Ver. 2.3.0.) - Maximus Cup Event Themes 23-29 by J2023 at 2:26 PM EST on December 7, 2023
I've just got the latest Tetris 99 Maximus Cup event theme on my Switch, but I'm also interested to see an updated rip of the V2.3.0. update, complete with all the recent Maximus Cup Themes' BGM so far after Kirby and the Forgotten Land up to WarioWare: Move It!. In order to extract the new event themes' music from the UPD(date) file, you'll have to use the BASE and UPD files together in Switch Toolbox so that you can see the rest of the themes.

AC Recollection Demo by J2023 at 9:32 PM EST on December 20, 2023
Another month, another Switch gamerip (as it's only 5 days left until Christmas). This time, from a demo of one that will be fully released in January next year.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero? by stl1988 at 3:40 PM EST on January 19, 2024
So why isn't this ripped yet? Normally, when a Pokémon game or DLC releases, the music is available nearly instantly. The new music is inside the update 3.0.0 of these games.

1. no one cares about ripping Wwise BGM owing to how complex it can get 2. people have busy lives and won't always rip that one post-launch update music you want so bad 3. why pull off all this effort just to post some DLC music anyway? 4. if no one's available to do the ripping, then do it yourself. take the first step. make history.
honestly after enduring the headache this afternoon that was ripping it can't say i don't agree; don't envy the people who have to find loop points for 4k files which is a rough estimate of the dlc content
pokemon sv dlc first rip by porocopi16 at 6:31 AM EST on February 9, 2024
alright i got something resembling a rip, i think, for the pokemon dlc dlc1 dlc2
couple notes, i don't have names cause the existing rip doesn't and i don't play pokemon games that much so i have no idea where all these are ingame (not to mention the rip of the basegame also is just mounds of gibberish so i'm essentially trading one for the other if i give them names). some are broken cause vgmstream doesn't have certain features yet and they're split as such or because game freak messed them up, two of the files i had to fix loop points by ear, i've checked, most play fine otherwise based on purely listening by ear
probably easier to sort by duration than it is otherwise but that's my own personal take. do what you like with these ones, whether they go up on the site is up to anyone else, i just wanted these done at all and as far as i can tell this is pretty much legit
there's about 200 ish files when all sorted and trimmed down. it's amazing how many sfx make it into the initial rip to bloat it all up
literally my first time and i already don't want to make it a habit, but, yeah, if future pokemon games are gonna be like this i want out
Hasn't Just Dance 2024 Edition been ripped yet? I'd think that 2023 Edition has already been ripped, but it's missing the new Just Dance + season-exclusive tracks.
just wondering if the following games could be ripped: sailing era, matsukeke burst, macross: shooting insight (this is a basiscape soundtrack, so), death trick: double blind, yama no susume next summit ~ano yama ni, mou ichido~
