Zophar's Domain? by Yoshinkeru at 10:48 PM EDT on June 16, 2012
Um, speaking of Zophar's Domain... it looks different.

I used to go there for some music sets and players...now it's all gone?

WTF? http://www.zophar.net/music.html

It just goes to the homepage... heck every page does. ZD sucks now.

Waitaminnit. Did I miss something? Cause I see a list of soundtrack libraries by system (KSS for SMS/GG, GSF for Game Boy, etc.) In short, just like the music page always existed.

(Don't make a liar outta me now, cussin' page.... x.x)

Obviously it's been fixed

Is there a request thread?

Also does anyone know where i might find a repository of PS2 soundtracks? I noticed they were absent from the PSF site on josh w's site

Zophar's Domain? Considering the state it's been in for awhile, I find that... disagreeable. I'd use the "mirror" that's been in existence since the beginning, and is still getting updated (at this point, it's no longer a mirror. It's the main site to go to for PSFs/PSF2). That'd be PSF Mirror #1, aka, Lawrence Lin's PSF Mirror. It hosts PSF2s as well as PSFs. I don't know how often PSF2s are ripped anymore (they're usually a "generic driver" rip which uses some kind of tool(s) to do the ripping. I really don't know the details at all), so I don't know how well/many updates go for that. But to the best of my knowledge, that's probably the best place to look.

That said, Zophar's Domain has been improving, so maybe they have some PSF2 sets that Lawrence Lin's site doesn't have (not likely.... I just did a count, and Llin's site has 192 PSF2 sets, and Zophar's has 111 (or near that. Not to mention that, to me, it looks like Zophar's essentially just copied Llin's site.... On a side note... did you notice I timed some of the PSF2 sets? :D )). Really, the more sites you check, the better, I guess. Anyway, Llin's site is my suggestion. Hope that helps. Mouser X over and out.

Well thats disappointing. Considering how popular it is i thought thered be a lot of PS2 rips out there. I was hoping for a Grandia Xtreme rip but I know that would have to be streamed and I assumed the streamed PS2 titles would where the PSF2s were.

Is there a request thread?

No, PSF2s are a lot smaller than streams (which I have no doubt you already knew), so Lawrence doesn't mind hosting those. Streams, however, are generally huge, and would be too much for him. HCS hosted streams off and on numerous times, but eventually had to stop hosting them, as they were simply causing too many problems. Instead, you should probably check out the HCS tracker thread or The Official Streamed VGM Distribution Thread. Grandia Xtreme is ripped, as I have it on my HDD, but since I haven't looked recently, I can't remember if it's on the tracker.

As for requests? They're generally frowned on. To the best of my knowledge there is no request thread, but people post requests on the IRC chat channel, the shoutbox (on the tracker. At first, you'll probably think it's a search box. It isn't), or the VGM distribution thread. That said, I would recommend not requesting anything, until you've checked the tracker, to make sure it hasn't already been ripped. You should probably also search the thread(s?) to see if someone has attempted ripping it yet. Perhaps there's a reason it hasn't been ripped (for example, it's not streamed, or if it is, no one has figured out the format it's in).

Anyway, PSF2s and streams are essentially completely different, and are therefore infrequently paired with each other. Though, Knurek has made some attempts to do just that (for example, I have a PSF2+stream set of Breath of Fire V). Hope that helps. Mouser X over and out.
