Emulator Tweak Request!

MercuryTheWhite · March 20th, 2006, 23:26

Hey.

Im trying to extract some audio from a PSX game. The game stores the audio in a binary file, so it can have one file instead of a lot. (i think ^^

Unfortunatly, I dunno how i would go about converting the file from a bin, and i do need the file converted, i cant just get it out. What would work was if i knew how the game reads the binary data. That would be just as good. Obvously, i cant read the game's code out as-is. I was wondering if someone could make an emulator that prints out the code as it runs, or does something to that effect. If anyone has any other idea as to how the heck i can interpret this binary file, PLEASE tell me! Thanks all.

You can scan your original cd for the music and other stuff with PSMplay.

You mean it can read binary audio files???? 0.0

**ShendoXT** · March 20th, 2006, 23:38

Just scan the Cd with it, it will read all the data that you will need.

Btw:I hope that you don't mean to scan the .bin image (aka ISO) of your psx Cd.

lol no, all im saying is that the audio file is voice.bin not like .xa or w/e

K.
Try to scan the cd with it.
I'm not 100% sure that the program will be able to extract the data, but I used that prog when I was ripping music and movies from the psx games.

it says WNASPI32.dll is missing

**ShendoXT** · March 20th, 2006, 23:46

You can download that file (just enter the name in the google) and the put it into the programs folder.

MercuryTheWhite · March 20th, 2006, 23:48

still not running =/

**ShendoXT** · March 20th, 2006, 23:55

Do you have a nero?
You can copy his WNASPI32.dll.

MercuryTheWhite · March 20th, 2006, 23:57

oh damn just saw ur post

MercuryTheWhite · March 21st, 2006, 00:06

ugh now it keeps crashing on me!

**ShendoXT** · March 21st, 2006, 00:10

Is that after you have scaned the cd?
When you scan the cd you will save the analyze data file, then after that go to open analyze data.

Btw:If you save the analyze data and close the program the next time you open the analyze data the prog will crash...
...so open the file immediatly after you have saved it.
