Flipnic [PS2 V/O RIP] (Unused Sounds Found!!!)

Press any key to continue...


Voiceovers ripped from a pinball game for the PlayStation 2 game console. I ripped these from a file called STR.BIN using a sound ripping tool called PSound (I manually forced the sample rate to 44100Hz).

There are quite a few sounds in here, which are unused. I determined which sounds were in-game and which were not from memory, so there may be some inaccuracies (please let me know in the comments if I got something wrong).

Two months late and I apologize if this isn't all that relevant to the video itself, but would it be possible to also rip the soundtrack with PSound? The only other channel I could find that ripped the music left it incomplete, so there seem to be a few music tracks from the game that don't really have a good rip anywhere, unless I just haven't been looking in the right places

Yes, but actually no. It’s possible to get raw audio samples used by the song this way, but the music itself is sequenced from these samples. I found another way to rip MID sequence files (as well as the soundbank files), but I'm not able to combine them together, because I don't know how I can convert the sound bank files (HD and BD) to a standard sound font file (e.g. SF2).

I see, thank you for letting me know! To be honest, I never realized the music in this game was MIDI-sequenced

Here's the Japanese part put through voice synthesis and Google Translate to get the rough translation for what is being said. It seems that the developers had a hard time making this game, since that's what most of it seems to be about (crunch, sleep deprivation and stuff like that), but it does seem that at least some of these sounds were used for debugging purposes (likely candidates for this are "Array combat is washed with 16x", "is clockwise", "anticlockwise", "do nothing").<br /> <br /> Original Japanese transcript:<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TtCp63uuo&t=603">10:03</a><br /> 構造体<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TtCp63uuo&t=605">10:05</a><br /> 配列の戦闘は16倍と洗い<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TtCp63uuo&t=609">10:09</a><br /> 配列の要素は4倍と洗い<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TtCp63uuo&t=613">10:13</a><br /> 抽象的な様子を停止しながら<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TtCp63uuo&t=616">10:16</a><br /> 暗黙のパディングは使わない<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TtCp63uuo&t=619">10:19</a><br /> 私たちはこの道がこの先は彼ゆくことを<br /> <a href="ht
