Same as tittle.
I want to be able to extract samples from tracked/sequenced music.
So i can for example make music with instruments from zelda tww.
Is that really legal? Doesn't Nintendo own the samples?
Republishing data from the game would violate copyright. Not that that stops people.

You'd need to dig deep into the audio core to dump samples. Not for the faint of code. You'd likely end up with gigabyte of dumps to sort though.
you mean the music itself or the notes and such/midis? If the music itself, you could use dolphin's file system to browse the iso and extract music you want.
There aren't many programs that can read the files. I found http://hcs64.com/in_cube.html that lets you read the .afc files found in the audiores\stream directory. Nothing for the .aws . To extract files from a Gamecube ROM, right click on the ROM in Dolphin, select Properties, and select the Filesystem tab.

It's not like Nintendo used MP3s for the music.

What are you saying.

I want only to use nintendos musical instrument samples in a soundfont as i later can use in modplug tracker for creating new music.

I don't think that zelda tww uses streamed music because i only think they use tracked/sequenced music and before i bought a new pc my FPS on dolphin was very low and the instruments as the music are using is long sustained notes before the pitch changes.
is there anyway to play gamecube videos? Tongue

Yeah, I'd also be really insterested in ripping the game music directly. Not using a "capture-from-sound-card" program, as this would lower quality and include not wanted SEs.
