And... what's the problem with that?

[stan423321]

Err, isn't it obvious?

Additionally PCSX seeks to simulate the functionality of the Sony PlayStation BIOS and consequently does not require a BIOS file dump to operate.

[spiraldoor]

You should download a BIOS dump illegally like everyone else.

[stan423321]

But I'm not gonna do it because I kinda like Sony Computer Entertainment .

[spiraldoor]

Me too. I like them so much that I downloaded their console's BIOS, so that I could enjoy their games, and on the best emulator. So should you.

The MP3 in the Rayman 1 soundtrack called "YEAH!" is different in some versions (e.g. PS1 version).
Does anyone know if it's going to be uploaded?

[Droolie]

Ah, is it different? The version on RayTunes is the PS1 version of the "Yeah" sound, so is the PC version different?

[stan423321]

I have heard one with simplier ending. Just after strange sound, there was a simple note. Not a "bum".

[spiraldoor]

The sound you get in the PS1 game is different from the sound you get by putting the PS1 game in a CD player.

[Droolie]

Ah, so that must be why the "Yeah" sound is on the disc twice: as CDDA sound ( playable in CD player ), and as VAG sound ( just like the unrippable, missing R1 music ).

[spiraldoor]

The rippable "Yeah" from the PS1 version (which you don't hear in the PS1 game), is actually the same as the "Yeah" you hear in-game in the Saturn version.

[stan423321]

YEAH!
doom-doom-doooooom-dooooom-doom-doom
da-daaa-da-da-da
BWUM!

This is version on RayTunes. Version I heard was:
YEAH!
foo-foo-fooooo-foooo-foo-foo
da-daaaa-da-da-da
ting!

Yes, it's worse notation ever. And I'm not sure was "foo" really different than "doom".

That can't be right. The different version I was speaking of IS the on in the PS1 version. The one on RayTunes is the PC version.
The version of "YEAH!" used in the PS1 version has less instruments. Just a few saxophones, silly voice noises, and a bell chime at the end.

[Cairnie]

That one with the witch-like laughing is part of the sound effects for some reason. I think I've still got a bunch saved on my laptop.

Could just quote me.

[Marley]

One of the tracks which plays in the Dream Forest (particularly in the second part of Pink Plant Woods) is also missing.
It has a really good bongo drum rythmn.

[Cairnie]

That's also part of the sound effects for some reason, as are those other pieces of percussion in Picture City and Blue Mountains. Which is ironic since the thunder and jungle ambience are on the rippable parts of the sound.

[spiraldoor]

Those aren't exclusive to the PS1 version.

Droolie, have you tried opening those VAG files with a hex editor?
The thing is, I don't know whether I have those files (I have the "Rayman Collector" PC-version).

If you managed to rip the sounds only and individually, then this VAG format is pretty close to a soundtracker format. The ideal then would be to code a vag2xm or vag2it converter, but I don't have much time to do it (as I'm working on other projects).
