Title: More GBS rips?
Post by: Brn89 on December 22, 2011, 02:15:35 PM
As there's a GBS rip of Rockman DX3, I wonder if there'll be GBS rips of Shi Kong Xing Shou and Soul Falchion, and maybe a few other of Vast Fame's games too. Of course, GBS rips of Yong Yong's games won't be ideal for obvious reasons :P

I know there's a rip of Soul Falchion already, but I don't think anybody ripped the second soundtrack to that game.  By the way, Brydo, did you know that there's a rip for both Rockman DX3 (the later dump) and Rockman Z?  I have all three of these GBSes if you're interested.  I wish Gil Gilad dabbled in other music formats, then we might see some of these games' music get ripped.

Yeah, send me that GBS rip of Rockman Z if you want considering I have two of Rockman DX3's already. You can send me one of Soul Falchion's too also.

Another thing... I'd like to know how ripping a GBS file from a Gameboy game is done. Is it an intricate procedure like dumping a game to its ROM form?

It requires using a debugger to figure out the actual memory addresses where the music engine and data are stored.

(I'm sure I could do it if I had more knowledge of Z80 assembly code and Game Boy hardware addressing...)

I'm hoping Gil rips the music from Hell Fighter and Thunder Warrior; those had some good songs to them.

Not sure if it helps, but I found this page (http://gbs.joshw.info/zzz_unlicensed/). :)

Thanks for sharing, but that directory hasn't been updated since June 2010. I dunno if he's planning on resuming his project of GBS ripping.

PS: 100th post here. Yay!
