PSF Ripping

[Superyoshi]

There are some games that nobody's ever ripped before and I'd like to rip them myself, but I'm clueless on how to do this.

Need help please :(

I do believe that a lot of games remain un-ripped, simply because it's quite impossible via emulation means such as the afore mentioned PSF ripping. For cases such as that, the Protoman method of a line-in manual recording is virtually the only way to get the music out of the game.

Then again, I could be totally wrong.

No idea how to rip PSFs, just Line-in, it's better quality, and easier. But if you really must know, read this.

TL;DR

I don't have an audio input card, nor do I feel like paying for one, plus I'd rather not play through Resident Evil Director's Cut Dual Shock Edition (Long name, looololol) and record every bit of music for it.  Plus, directly ripping the actual music file used in the game would be much better than a line-in recording.  Oh well.

Your mother board isn't equiped with Line-In? How old is your computer?! Furthermore, why did you ask if you weren't going to take the effort to do either?

I said audio inputs, not line in.  You know the white and red inputs?  Every motherboard that has a sound card has line-in.

I figured it would be the simple matter of locating the music files from the disc and converting them to a PSF format.

No, I'm not quite dead yet :p

If you want to do a line-in recording through your computer's headphone-jack sized line-in port, you'll need an RCA to 1/8" headphone jack adapter, like this one:

If a PlayStation game doesn't use sequenced music (aka PSF), then it could use a streamed (like WAV, MP3) format such as XA (37800MHz audio) or one of Konami's VB2/BIN formats.  That would essentially be a simple take the files and convert them, as long as you have the appropriate programs.

PSF ripping, however, requires knowledge of some assembly code or other that I don't know, and can only be done if the game uses sequenced music.

Wal*Mart sells one for 3.75, and it works fantastically. I actually use it to connect my computer to my 2.1 Stereo system, or, when I'm feeling really ambitious(and my parent's are out) I use it to plug my computer into my dad's 15" show woofers and fill the whole neighborhood with music.
