actually i think this belongs in the music section but this is also ripping i guess... anyways i was wondering if their was anyway to rip music from a ddr game? i wanted to make an amv with this song from the game but nothing really happened, so does anybody know.

It's quite possible. I've done it myself (for my FY:Eikoden trailer).

(But note that this only applies to PS2 games, not XBOX ones.)

No. You've got to open a command line (MS-DOS Prompt) window -- to do that, type "cmd" in the Run dialog box and go -- and then navigate to the directory where you saved VB2RIP.EXE, and THEN run the program.

I'm going to assume you got this screen:

Code: Select all

Usage: vb2rip [options] inputfile(s)

Options:
  -fmt format     Specify the input file format
  -o path         Specify the output filename (if one input file is given)
                    or specify the output directory (if several are given)
  -mono           Treat input file as monaural
  -stereo         Treat input file as stereo
  -rate n         Specify the sample rate
  -interleave n   Specify the block interleave size
  -skip n         Skip this many bytes after each block
  -offset n       Start at the given offset in the input file
  -endflag        Stop decoding when the sample end flag is reached
  -noendflag      Ignore the sample end flag
  -maxbytes n     Set the maximum number of input bytes to decode

Supported input formats:
  Format   Description
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  raw      Raw data (for experimentation)
  vb2      Konami multi-song .BIN/.VB2 file (Dance Dance Revolution, etc.)
  8        .8 file (Suikoden)
  msa      .MSA file (Psyvariar, possibly other PS2 games)
  xa2      .XA2 file (Extreme-G 3, possibly other PS2 games)

As the first line says, you type <b>vb2rip</b> first, then as many options as you want to specify, then the .BIN file or files that you want to rip from. (If you're ripping DDR Extreme 2, I suggest ripping them straight from the game disk, because, for some reason, that was the only way I was able to get "Afronova (from the Nonstop Megamix)", "Sakura", and the Paranoia brothers.)

So if I wanted to extract the songs from the file D:\FILEDATA.BIN and save them to C:\songs\, my command line would look like this:

Code: Select all

vb2rip -fmt vb2 -o C:\songs\ -stereo D:\FILEDATA.BIN

And no, this doesn't work with DDR SuperNOVA, because Konami changed the way they store the songs. They now get stored in the Pop'n Music format instead. However, they're still rippable, and the later pages of that thread I linked you to explain how to do it.

Geez. Kids these days. Don't even know how to run a program from the command line. Why, back in 1993 when I was 8 and we got our first IBM-compatible and it had Windows 3.11...
