Shenmue Music Files/??????
 

HELP ME!

Hey! Ive got a codoers cable and all basic serial software.

But, Ive been told Shenmue music files are in a special DC - only format, and NOT AFS or ADX!!!!!

Who knows how people like www.shenmuedojo.com get their music from - and theyve got EVERY music track in Shenmue!

Please, if you know how to get music from the shenmue files --PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me!!!!

Thanks, soulh

They're in DC MIDI format. The only way to "rip" them is to record them from the DC.

The guy sureluy doesn't make a clue about what he's talking about, the don't come in a MIDI format and record them from DC is not the only way to do it.
It uses ADX format you can find a tool on MEGAGAMES.COM they have a DC section then extract them from the game CD, not a GD this one won't be readable by your CD drive, . You must use a pirate version of the game.

I don't have a clue what I'm talking about? I know more about the Dreamcast than probably 99% of owners. And I'm sure a hell of a lot more than you.

They are in a Dreamcast midi format - certainly not .mid you could play on your computer, of course, but a native format with custom sample banks. They're NOT in ADX files. If they were, Shenmue would have come on about 10 discs.

I am in that 1% hehe. Yes the are in unknown for me format - starts with DTPK in ASCII (all ShenMue discs even Whats ShenMue). In SOUND folder is also driver file with AM2/AICAsoundDrv990709/Ver1.70b near start that means it is a AM2 Team format.

AFS files starts with AFS in ASCII, ADX have (c)CRI near start of file.

How to rip? Just load ShenMue on chankast and record tracks and sounds :D
Thats all !!!
