How well does PSX music emultaion work so far?

[Frosty840]

I ask because I'm a big fan of SNES SPC-file music, and I was just wondering to myself if the Playstation had used the same sort of standardised format that could be used to extract music from savestates.

Just an idle thought, really, but there's some good ingame music out there and it would be great if there were some way to be able to play it outside the game.

Use the psx movie players that are downloadable on the downloads page.. They allow you to turn psx music into wave files.. Then convert those wave files into mP3 files.. Or whatever format you want.. Easy listening..

Some older psx games used regular cd audio.. Newer psx games don't, they are embedded in the data files.. The psx movie player allows you to listen to both types of psx music files..

Iirc there's a spu plugin that can output at least PART of the music already, but since (as opposed to SNES SPCs) the music on a psx can appear in a lot of forms and combinations of those forms, I'm not sure if extraction/separate emulation will ever get realised.
