I start by getting whatever game I want to rip next by whatever means necessary. Your own moral compass may vary on that; I largely don't give two shits, especially if it's for a console that's not having new games made for it anymore. Or more "pity versions", like the PS3 and 360 get now. As a general note, however? 360 versions seem a lot easier to rip than PS3 versions... I think it's because everyone hates Microsoft, idk.
From there I decide what I want to rip and figure out where it is. It's not always so clear cut. In the example I used before, all the data in P4 is compressed into .CMV files, which is actually a sort of ISO file, so it's easily decompressed with just about any archive program. So after decompressing Data.CMV, I got myself the Sound folder, which had the majority of the sound data in the game. Then it was just finding the programs I needed to further decompress these sound files so I could get something I could listen to. From there, however, I had to listen to the files to see what they were for, which was slightly less annoying for the different days than it was for the battle voices, as the "day" files were separated by scene, while all the battle files were lumped together. Then it's just organizing them into folders and prepping them for the site.
Not all games are going to be that easy, however. Not all games are so clear cut with their naming scheme for files, and some of the file formats are kind of agonizing to figure out. Main thing is to keep yourself focused on your current goal, whatever that may be, keep track of what files belong where, and keep focused on it until you get to the end.
I see. Well, I’ve got some good news; the sounds I’ve been trying to upload are up now. It just took such a darned long time was all! Anyway, thank you for your input all the same. I think I’ll just put in a request for the sounds from some games, if anybody can help me.
If anybody wants to download them, they’re right here: http://www.sounds-resource.com/pc_comput...thedition/. I hope you like them!
