From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hey there. Stick anything you think is interesting in here:

http://segu.psxemu.com/ (from http://www.zophar.net/utilities/psxutil.html)

http://snailrush.online.fr/soft/ (from above link)

http://homepage2.nifty.com/~mkb/PsxMC/ (Personally, this comes recommended. Also from the above link)

http://www.zophar.net/utilities/download/xa2wav02.zip (XA2WAV from Zophar [DOS app])

http://www.zophar.net/utilities/download/xaex01.zip (XA extractor from Zophar [DOS app]. I don't know if this works. When I tried it, it didn't work for me)

http://www.zophar.net/utilities/download/xaplay08.zip (XAplay from Zophar [Win app]. I don't know if this works, but I wouldn't recommend it)

http://www.fileplanet.com/164521/160000/fileinfo/Game-Audio-Player (Interesting... I didn't scan it thoroughly enough to see if there was a homepage listed there. From Google)

http://www.foobar2000.org/ using http://kode54.foobar2000.org/ (http://kode54.foobar2000.org/foo_adpcm.zip specifically)

http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Maxis_XA (Interesting. I wonder how different it is from Sony's XA?)

http://www.student.oulu.fi/~vtatila/history_of_game_music.html (Can't hurt to look)

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/XA_Filter.htm (Interesting. I didn't install it, but I'm under the impression that it makes XA audio appear as WAV files to your PC... Note: I could be, and probably am, entirely wrong)

http://home7.highway.ne.jp/Kobarin/ (KbMedia's homepage)

http://www.vorc.org/en/info=KbMedia%20Player (KbMedia player)

http://www.vorc.org/crew/hex125/ (English Patcher)

http://www.vorc.org/en/info=Eternal%20SPU%20Plugin (Create SPU files)

http://manbowj.hp.infoseek.co.jp/tools/ (SPU plugin for Winamp. BAH! Why didn't Google turn up that site?!)

http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA015058/archive/ (KbMedia plugins, I think)

http://www.deliplayer.com/ (Looks like a Winamp alternative. Nice link, but I don't think it applies to this article. Perhaps somewhere else, if it's not already there. [Note: I didn't look it over enough to tell if it can use Winamp plugins or not])

http://www.kemuland.com/kemulandst/playstationutilitiesst.php (Useful looking stuff. Not sure what all of it is though)

http://cdstatus.sourceforge.net/ (Looks like it *might* be able to rip XA audio directly, instead of converting it to another format. Use RAW extraction)

http://www.tales-cless.org/docs/thepsxdoc2.txt (Instructions on how to rip XA audio. Very tedious. If you look through the text file, you'll see he/she talks about PSX2HD. I found a copy of that, but it won't run in XP [I haven't tried it in Win98]. If you think it worthwhile, I can upload it somewhere (it's very very small). The method talked about in the TXT file is updated for WinXP, and thus does not use PSX2HD)
