Ripping songs from ROMs??

[TheLazenby]

How would one go about ripping a song from a ROM, like was done on the Doom Depot site? I've been trying to get a clean copy of the Ziggurat Vertigo music from "Quake 64" for years...

I've been searching for the Quake 64 music for along time but with no luck. I think Doom Depot re-recorded the sounds not ripped them. Thats all I know.

Yes, unfortunately it would be very difficult to record Ziggurat from the game itself - you'd get the sounds of the enemies' grenades going "tink!" over it, I think...

Can't shut the sounds off in "Quake"?

I have no idea what level this is from.

Well, you might want to try looking at some Mugen sites for tutorials.
There a couple of good ones about ripping sounds form emu. I just cant reamber the url. But, I'm sure they will pop up in google.

Thanks alot Spork. Now if I can make these into waves or mp3s

[Sporku]

Winamp's waveOut output plugin is handy for just that sort of thing, as it'll output to a WAV file. You could then convert it to MP3 using an encoder of your choice (can't name any good ones).

Not waveOut, DiskWriter. Use LAME for MP3 encoding.
