Rip music from rom?

[g00gly0eyes]

Hi, I'd like to listen to my game's music, and I found a tutorial on how to do that, but it's kind of an old thead, there are new versions of the program and of the plugin .. https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-tutorial-extract-music-brstm-hps-and-play-it-in-your-pc?highlight=.hps
So how do I get winamp to play or convert the .hps files? The plugins don't seem to work, or I installed them wrong? Hopefully someone around here will know how to do it and help me out ;D

Well, that thread's from 2009. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the latest big version (that breaks all plugin support from previous versions) came in 2010.

Well, in_cube plugin was superseded by VGMStream plugin, which still is actively developed. I'm not sure if newer versions of Winamp exist, but you can use that plugin with Winamp 5.5 or with any player compatible with Winamp plugin format (there are lots of them in the web). You can also just use test.exe app included with the plugin to get whatever supported file format you throw at it in .wav format...

Thanks guys, version 5.5 did work for me! How do I convert the .hps file into something more common like wav like you said?

According to the vgmstream site, it comes with a command-line decoder that will output a "PCM.wav" file for each track you want to convert.

Winamp has wave output. Go to where you select which pair of speakers to send audio through, and change that to wave output. Note that this is uncompressed, so it can get big fast.

From the readme, in a command line you would type "test.exe -o <out file> -i <in file>"

Just remember that you need these DLLs in your system folder or in the same folder where test.exe is...
