Music tracks off a Dreamcast disc

[The Tick]

<font color='#000000'>That Saturn graphics topic reminded me, anyone know of a waý to get the music files out of a Dreamcast disc? I tried playing it in my portable cd player: This is a Dreamcast disc. Playing it in a hi-fi or other player could result in serious damage to its speakers. Please remove the disc immidiately. Then the same message followed in different languages and bla, bla, bla.
So, anyone got any ideas?</font>

<font color='#000000'>DreamCast discs do not have CD player-compatible tracks (Red-Book audio specifications), so you have to extract it (which is pretty hard to do because ordinary CD-players and drives do not read most of the GD-ROM discs)</font>

<font color='#736AFF'>Tsk Tsk Ticks...you should remember the many discusions about this. About how the DC GD Roms have two sections, and about how they're seperated in such a way, that normal CD Drives/Players cant read 'em.

The only way to get stuff off a GD Rom is to run a Dumping util and a modified NeoGeo Pocket link cable. The only utils I've seen tho are for Unix.

There are 3 file formats for DC Music Files. ADX is the standard audio format for most games. There's also AFS and ACX. AFS is the most common, used in many games as the library format. Basically these files hold a number of related ADX files inside them. There are converters and such, not sure how well they work tho.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Now that ya mention it Cero, i remember you saying it's virtually impossible to rip em, but some guy made a desktop theme and had Tails' theme in it, in wav format, and when i mailed him he said he'd rip it when he got back from vacation. Never heard from him again.</font>
