Topic: So I was looking for some game sound rips

[SacredSorrow]

I need some sound effects for my game, and so I went online to look and it seems that the dungeon nor does anyone have game rips of sound FX.

I went to some old websites I liked and they were gone.

Does anyone have any suggestions or sites they've used?

I've got some sounds that I've ripped from the NES castlevanias, even some from CV Legends. They're all in wave format though. I could send them to you but I don't know if I can do it on this site. If you send me your E-mail address then I could try it that way. But what I did to get them was use the emulator Nestopia. I then used a wave program to separate then sounds that I wanted from all the other noises that were going on during recording.

ah ha, I was about to start another thread but this one works.


I'm also looking for sound effects, but I need 8-bit sounds from CV1-3. I'm making an 8-bit fangame and I want the sounds to go with the look. I'm having a lot of trouble finding any sounds though.

For the NES games, you can download the game's NSF (Nintendo Sound File) archives.  You can then rip 'em all using Winamp's DiskWriter Plugin.

I know Castlevania1 has all of the sounds in there.  I believe so does Castlevania2 and Castlevania3.

You can get the NSFs from places like Zophar's Domain or Arc-Nova (although I think Arc-Nova only has the music, not the SFX).

The plugin you want to use for NSF archives in Winamp is called "NotSoFatSo" (you can run a search for it, it's found at a places called "Disch's Domain" or something... disch.zophar.net)

Ok so i got the plugin and the NSF files, and I selected the Disk Writer plugin. But I'm not sure how to rip the sound effects... I'm a bit confused....

Damn man I wish youd posted this a week ago... Ive been rippin the sounds mself with Nestopia tryin to disable to sound channels to get em with no interference. This saved loads of time and woulda saved even more if I had known sooner. Now I got sounds from CV2 I didnt even know were in the game

Sounds to me like I'd better get a hold of this program too

Yeah that's the best way to get NES SFX.
You put the NSF in your winamp playlist.  When you double-click it, Notsofatso's gonna open up a window.

On "Play Control" you see a slider bar at the bottom.  Each 'tick' in the bar is a different sound.  The first ones are the BGMs of the game.  However, all the ones afterwards are sound effects.

If you just hit "Play" it'll run through them all sequentially.

However, if you right-click Winamp and go to "Preferences" and change the output plugin to "Nullsoft Disk Writer", then repeat the procedure, it'll QUICKLY rip all the tunes in sequence into one big WAV file.

You can then just crop out the SFX to separate files.  NotSoFatSo even will let you save the NSF's contents to their own playlist, which you can do PRIOR to running the Disk Writer operation and it'll rip each sound to its own little individual WAV file.

It's very handy.  I do hope you make the most of it.

hell yeah its awesome. I didnt know about the playlist thing so each gets its own wav thats nice. I got em all as one big wav then I went in with Audacity and just copied the sound effects from the end and made em an mp3 so I can take out what I want and export as single sounds.
