I know a lot of people enjoy the soundtracks to some of these games, and are often looking for GBS rips of them. I've decided to make a dedicated thread for this, since most of the time, GBS rips (of unlicensed/bootleg games) are lumped in as a small segment of most usual licensed GBS rips, as well as just generally being scattered around.
I would post "The Ultimate Bootleg GBS Collection" or something like that, except I won't because I haven't collected many GBS rips. But I can post the rips I've made recently, which haven't been shared anywhere other than getting totally buried in the Discord server. There's some more rips others may have heard me talk about, but they're unfinished, so I won't post them since they're buggy or broken as of now.
The rips I've made myself are the following:
- VF's Devil Island (also known as Lord of the Rings)
- Sheng Shou Wu Yu
- Soul Falchion
- Street Fighter 2001 Alpha
- Super Fighters S
(These can be downloaded via the attachment on this post)
Anyone else is welcome to post their rips, or rips they've found scattered around. Or even post updates/fixes to other GBS rips.

By the way, Super Fighters S was an interesting rip. It wasn't emulated in hhugboy or other emulators at all due to the copy protection. I had to take my own copy's dump. and find where the audio page was. To my surprise it was extremely easy, since it was just a simple music hack of the original KOF '96 sound driver. Which meant I was able to re-use header settings from the KOF '96 GBS rip. Definitely easier than "Kouji Murata's Mega Man V driver but the bytes are shifted around a bit", I'll just say that.
