Ripdown Snes Roms

[DarkAeden]

There is a way to rip music from snes roms to fit in the 4 mb size limit of the opensnes 0.2

 

[Enslaved]

There is probably a way but arent the 4mb+ roms all RPGs that rely on things like music to immerse you in more?

How big are the roms you are want to rip the music out of? OS9XGP might be able to load it (It can load roms up to ~5.73 megs).

 

[EvilDragon]

I think he's talking about the next version which will only load roms < 3MB

maybe we can get dynamic loading someday...

Do we really need it? I'd imagine that with the next version of OS9XGP we'd still be able to run 4 meg roms.

As evil dragon already said, at the moment it's believed that <= 3meg roms can be loaded in the upcoming release.

i'de like to see dynamic loading and 32mb ram support and an option asking you which one to use

Yeah, but if that's just like .2 only being able to run 4 meg roms, we might be able to run 4 meg roms (.2 has a ram limit of ~5.73, not 4 megs, so with the next OS9XGP, we might have a ram limit of ~4.73, or something else larger than 3 megs and large enough to run 4 meg roms).

i wish
there aren't many games i want to play that are more that 4.73 mb

There is a way make Tales of Phantasia smaller as most of this size is sampled title song. There is even a tool to replace those samples, so maybe if you replace them with zero sized samples, at the end the size of the rom will be smaller, but I don't know if it is going to be small enough for opensnes9x to launch.

there is a tool to remove some music from the roms as hando gently said? So there will be a way to play star ocean too!

Only if graphics decrypting or support for the graphics packages is included, which probably never will.

 

[DarkAeden]

definitivly...is there a way to play tales of phantasia which is...about 4.75 mb? Ahhh...please help me with chrono trigger savestate!Please read in that "i need help" forum my thread on the chrono trigger savestate if someone can help me! :unsure: :unsure:

Rather not, the problem with Star Ocean is that it uses built in custom chip, and actually the current way its playable on PC emulators is some kind of 'way around'. You need so called gfx packs which are used to replace scrambled graphics during the gameplay. Tales of Phantasia is big because mostly of its content not the way it was coded.

 

[diablo2]

thats actually a really good idea
theres a ton of useless music in video games usually that never gets played even if you go through the whole game

Not quite up-to-date, ZSNES and SNES9x support the descrambling of the graphics (the custom chip just scrambled the graphics... a pretty hard copy protection) since about a year

But still no way the little GP32 would support that.

Hnado, you said it could be possible to strip down ToP by replacing some samples. Could you plese give a link to the program you menitoned?
