Music ripping?


Hello. I have been looking at how to do this and I came up short. So... how do I rip music from a rom?

You cannot rip directly from a ROM. You must first get a MIDI (from online or getting an SPC and using SPC2MIDI), use tinymm, and then do a bunch of editing.

Where'd you get that idea? You can most definately rip SPCs from ROMs. I may take a lot of work and only using a hex editor, but it can most definately be done. Actually, I think you can even rip a SPC by using zsnes.

Give Mario some love?~

ok... for the records then, what is the name of the music played in the last level of vip4? (level: abyss of the dead) and where can I get it?

edit: how am I able to rip from zsnes?

You just get the game right before the music you want plays in zsnes then press F1 and go down to the 3rd option "Rip SPC data" and press enter. The SPC file should be in the same directory as the ROM. Now, simply get the SPC2MID program and follow a music porting tutorial and port the MIDI.

Also, I've heard that the SPC2MID program isn't very reliable, so.. yeah...

I know you can rip SPCs directly, but you cannot rip a song that can be inserted into SMW right away directly from a ROM.

As for the Vip 4 question, I'm pretty sure it's not on the site. You'll have to use the SPC2MIDI method, however, that tool messes up the song a little bit.

erm... it did nothing when I pressed f1. Is that after pressing esc? Also, what does f1 do? Also, how can I contact the 'vipper' that made vip4?

I tried that, but I can't tell how good it is because I can't open the SPC file in WinSPC. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm running on ME, but I don't know.

Vipper is not a person. It's the name given to anyone that associates with the VIP board on 2ch.

you can go here to get the midi, and use tinymm to make it a text file. then, use this to convert it to work in smw. then, convert the changed text into a blank .txt file. then insert it with any addmusic.
then, unless the song is custom made, you can ask what it is called here.
i hope this helps :D
ask me if i give a f*ck...

well, I got through all of the parts, but when I used addmusic, it didn't insert. I am going to try to insert using all versions of addmusic before calling this an 'error' yet.

Not a good idea. If you have inserted using one Addmusic, using another will mess stuff up.

Also, are you trying to insert a song you just ported? If so, did you convert it into the correct form to be inserted into SMW? (IOW, did you follow the tutorials?)
Did you port the music properly, if you just straight converted it to a txt, not fixing it, its not going to work, you must flip the > to <, because they get inverted, and octaves o7 or higher must be lowered, read a porting tutorial.

EDIT: Ninja'd, (cause of 2techno)

actually, I know how to port it now properly.. unfortunately I have to go through line by line on a 579kb mml. But it is worth it to me :)
