New links are up for the FLAC
Another problem is the songs are not 'right'. I have a copy of a Dreamcast rip, which was done via recording the music in-game with sounds turned off. You will notice that Infernus Animositas's rip does not contain the right order for each part of the song, such as different beginnings. I believe the only way to fix this is to study the dreamcast rip (which I would be able to upload later this week if anybody is interested) and then compile each song using Ray2Get streams. This would take a very long time, but it would be the first "pure" rip of Rayman 2.Drolpiraat wrote:Also, there are a few problems with the PC soundtrack, the first one being that it'll probably have to be redone because Ray2Get might not be 100% correct after all (see this topic on XeNTaX).

Look I know all that, which is why I was going to redo the rip myself. It wouldn't be the first pure rip of Rayman 2 though since Synthesis already did that - except that Ray2Get doesn't work correctly.j4tp wrote:Another problem is the songs are not 'right'.

Are you talking about this post in particular by Synthesis?Drolpiraat wrote:It wouldn't be the first pure rip of Rayman 2 though since Synthesis already did that
Yes, I am. And I know that Synthesis did exactly the same, but it IS how it is in the game.j4tp wrote:Are you talking about this post in particular by Synthesis?Drolpiraat wrote:It wouldn't be the first pure rip of Rayman 2 though since Synthesis already did that
That whole track (50 - into the sanctuary) is a mess by the way - while the order of the actual game files is correct, yours isn't. Did you listen to it? You should. There are probably other tracks like that.Oops... I may have forgotten a few other ones. The problem is, my converter doesn't support wildcardsDrolpiraat wrote: It's not only naming issues though: you also forgot to convert EA1F.apm, for example (there's more, I think), which Synthesis forgot to put in his ray2all.bat.
True.Drolpiraat wrote: EDIT -> Ray2Get works correctly, apparently. I guess the PC version really does have some quality problems. Tested with the GOG version, it's hearable in-game.
Dammit, there's another and MUCH simpler way to convert ALL .apm files than using my .bat file (cause it works with a list of "predefined" file names).Synthesis wrote: Oops... I may have forgotten a few other ones. The problem is, my converter doesn't support wildcards
Code: Select all
@echo off
echo Starting conversion...
for %%f in (*.apm) do echo %%f & ray2get.exe %%f
echo Converted.
@echo on

Nope, it was a new topic I created when I still thought the quality of the converted files was less than the in-game music (didn't remember that you could actually hear that it was low quality). But it turned out I was wrong, so I deleted my topic. Your converter actually works perfectly.Synthesis wrote:this link seems dead...
Isn't this that same topic in which someone told you .apm format was ADPCM ?
I made my own *.bat file to convert everything so that's good, and I also managed to open outro1.apm without your converter. So everything is fine. Both your name (should I put Synthesis or Palorifgrodbierzrt?) and Infernus's will be listed. Thanks, both of you! How did you manage to do it? (by the way: the source code is online too).Drolpiraat wrote:I made my own *.bat file to convert everything so that's good, and I also managed to open outro1.apm without your converter.
Well I use several nicknames, but you can put Synthesis, as it's the one I use the most often (even though there are lots of guys whose nick is Synthesis -- nouns or common words can often be a bad choice). (Palorifgrodbierzrt is my youtube nickname -- I couldn't find anything cool that wasn't already used so I took thisDrolpiraat wrote:So everything is fine.

)Nothing complicated, really, just opened it in Goldwave as 4bit mono ADPCM, 11025Hz. That way, it sounded just like your mp3 version of it, so I guess it reads it right?Synthesis wrote:How did you manage to do it?Drolpiraat wrote:I made my own *.bat file to convert everything so that's good, and I also managed to open outro1.apm without your converter.
It's still online, I attached it to my reply post in the topic where you posted it (I think)Synthesis wrote:btw, just had a look... file was removed from mediafire.
