I have a piece of music from a PS1 game in my head and I wanted to listen to it but it's nowhere to be found on the Internet, although the OST's of the game's two sequels are to be found everywhere, which is frustrating.

Anyways, because of all this, I was thinking of just buying the game myself as I've found it going for only 50p and then ripping the audio from it and then uploading it to the Internet, so other people like me can avoid the frustration I'm going through if they ever want to listen to the game's music.

The only problem is that I'm unsure about how to go about actually ripping the audio from games. I remember finding out that some programmes on the internet won't necessarily work with all PS1 games and some won't rip PSF files, or something like that.

So if anyone here knows a quick and easy way to rip music from a PS1 game, then I'd be very grateful.

I'd be even more grateful if you could point me into the direction of the game's OST if it's already been uploaded to the Internet.

The game is....

Fignuts 07-10-2018 07:43 PM

I mean....20-30 Indy games a week would be great if they were GOOD titles.

As it is, it looks like a recipe to turn their shop into a shovelware dumpster fire.

Destor 07-10-2018 08:44 PM

Same thing that killed the Wii. No quality control.

Emperor Smeat 07-10-2018 10:12 PM

Wii died off because the major 3rd parties never put a similar level of investment or effort that they did for the Xbox 360 (and later PS3). Had they did, at worst Wii's library would have been similar to the PS2 in terms of a lot of games but a steady supply of quality ones to offset the amount of shovelware. 3rd parties jumped late to the Wii and then left just as quickly in terms of quality support.

Right now seems Nintendo's current strategy with the Switch is focusing on Nintendo + Indies combo and have some big third party games cover gaps. Until their historical issues with 3rd parties end, they pretty much need to rely on indies to to prevent major droughts from happening again. Steam being terrible in recent years and Sony dropping the ball with indies support ended up making this possible for Nintendo.

Destor 07-10-2018 10:44 PM

Completely disagree. Nintendo courted a casual market of non gamers that had never heard of any of the 3rd party developers. Nursing homes had the wii. But a flood of subpar shovelware games eroded the brand and lost this new market altogether.

Emperor Smeat 07-10-2018 11:07 PM

Yeah the Blue Ocean strategy worked well for the Wii till 2009/2010 but Nintendo still mixed in enough of their regular games with their casual offerings. Its the major third parties that either showed very little support to begin with (ex. Rockstar) or completely misread the market (ex. EA, THQ) which is why their output suffered in the long run. Even Capcom and Take Two were hit-or-miss when it came to support.

Activision and Ubisoft were probably the only big 3rd party studios that kept a decent balance so they got the best of both markets (casuals & hardcore). Even then, both showed way more constant effort when it came to the Xbox 360 and PS3 besides tech reasons.

PS2 and PS1 libraries were just as bloated with shovelware like the Wii but Sony never had to deal with the same issues Nintendo had when it came to major 3rd party support even during the early PS3 years when things were really dire for them.
