- Sorry, lol.
Got a bit silly there. I meant ISO. I have an original copy, but had no idea how to extract it to my PC, so I had to get it via "other means"...
Edit: Fixed mistake in previous post...

- hmmm i think i might just do the mario galaxy bit now that I've got the setup for it
what's the stuff that needs to be ripped, and what's the stuff that I need to zero out? (I need to know what extra stuff there is that needs to be ripped unless I can find that information easily on the iso, however I think that I can figure out which files do need to be zeroed out)
Chocochan: Wii - Hacking on GBATEmp
great tut on softmodding wiis "completely"
following that tut, you can get usb loader gx installed - with it, you can format a drive (I recommend 4+ GB, as the compressed galaxy iso is ~3.3GiB) to WBFS, dump the game, and then copy it to your computer with a wbfs manager. very easy to do once you're familiar with it

- Hey arbingordon,
I've done everything I needed to do to the ISO I have already which was to zero out the bgm files (basically everything found in the "Streams" folder), so that only the sound effects and voices are heard (hopefully). It's just the opposite to what was done to Twilight Princess to get the music...
I just wanted to know if softmodding was safe and if anyone used it to do something similar successfully? I think I did read that tutorial at GBATemp, in fact I was hoping they had some info on how to get the sound effects and voices from DS games too, but that information was very hard to come across. I know I'll HAVE to buy a DS flash card as Rhythm Tengoku Gold/ Rhythm Heaven is near impossible to play on an emulator due to the "flicking" command.
I would prefer to do this myself as I don't really want to bother anyone with extra work, plus I'll have everything just the way I want it. I intend to modify the games and record the sound as I play . Then in Audacity I could just chop up the sounds into individual files and single out what I need. A problem I found with dumped sounds sometimes is that if the sound is VERY short, it won't play, or to say it will, but you don't hear it unless you click play constantly.
Well, that's what happens when I use Winamp anyway. I would probably add a second or two of silence before the sound to guarantee I could hear it fully. It's just as well I have an original copy of SMG as I heard that playing the backup from the start with no save means you're screwed. Apparently, after the first movie the game crashes. I'll make it easier for me to get the sounds too as only certain galaxies have certain sounds.
But I guess no one here knows much about SDAT files? I'd like to get this DS thing out of the way...

- if you can explain really thoroughly, i might be able to help you with the ds game thing
softmods are safe and easy if you know what you're doing, or have a good tutorial/people to talk to about it
i'd recommend against asking in the wiibrew chat for help, as the twiizer people are anti piracy to the point where you're not allowed to ask decent questions (like about cIOSs for usb 2.0 support in a media player)
just join the console stream chat, and I or mouser x can help you if you need anything
as far as messed up saves with the backup - that doesn't happen for me, my backed up iso works fine off my usb drive, same stars found etc

- May I ask what you need these sound effects for?

- arbingordon:
Well, I need mostly the voices and sound effects of all the characters in the game Rhythm Tengoku Gold (it must be the Japanese version of the game and not the western version Rhythm Heaven or the European version Rhythm Paradise as the English voices are really bad like there was no effort put into them).
If you've played the game or seen some gameplay videos, you'll know what sounds I'm after. Basically the all voices and sounds that play during a minigame. They can be in any order, just as long as they are complete and at the right speed. I can't handle trying to piece together bits of sounds from dumps.
Zeroing out the music and playing the game as is and letting the sounds just happen sounds better to me than trying to dump them. I've nabbed a DVD-R off my brother (don't tell him!), so I'll probably be brave and do the softmod sometime soon and burn the ISO while I'm at it.
Prime Blue:
You may ask indeed! No, seriously, I'll tell you if you really want to know. I enjoy sculpting figures of video game characters and usually cast them in plastic (resin). I had a fun idea since the Rhythm game (DS) was so popular, I would make several DS Stylus pens that make sound effects from the game and feature a little figure of the character on top (or hanging off it, I haven't decided yet).
I'm a fan of the minigame "DJ School" (VERY popular on YouTube) and DJ Yellow's voice is just awesome. Wouldn't you love a DJ Yellow stylus that says "Scratch-O! Hey!" when you press its button? I know I would. I found a company that makes sound modules that fit into pens and you can have them record a sound in or do it yourself if you have the right equipment.
If I can get the sounds and make the stylus casings right, I can finish off the figures and cast them all out in different colours! As for Super Mario Galaxy, I want to eventually do a Stop Motion animation about that game and wanted the voices and sound effects to use when required, or I might make something that plays a sound effect when pressed similar to the Super Mario "Sound Drops" collection you can buy from Japan.
I'd love for someday Nintendo to notice my work and perhaps allow me to be licensed by them to make merchandise for their games...
Note: I *actually* have one of the sound drops of a Luma. It plays 3 different Luma sounds randomly, but sounds horrid if you try to record from it. XD
Sorry, I'm a bit daft today as I'm tired (spent whole day at a college trying to enrol in an Art & Design course), but WHERE is the console stream chat?

- You can get sound samples here, extracted from Rhythm Tengoku Gold with VGMTrans. I have no idea if they contain what you want, so have fun checking...

- why waste a dvdr though, all you need is a usb drive, then afterwards you can format it to fat32 again
('cuz fat32 is awesome)
- by Chocochan at 3:56 PM EDT on September 1, 2009
- Sorry Prime Blue, it's just like the last one I downloaded. It's a dump filled with bits of sounds you have to search through and paste together. WAY too tedious.
I have a 4GB USB key/flash drive. Would that really work OK arbingordon?

- FAT32 would be even more awesome if it didn't have a 4GB restriction per file.
