adpcm question

[Tatsujin]

is it in any ways possible, to grab the adpcm sounds from a CD/SCD/ACD?
for example, i would like to get that "3xBoum, Stage Clear) from Gate of Thunder and directly convert it into a wav-file.

any suggestions?

Use the line in on your computer's sound card. I know that's not a very modern solution, but it works really well.

 There's no automatic way of doing that. Though once you did rip the ADPCM sample from memory or from the CD data track, you can convert it with a number of programs. If you want, I can take a look at GOT. The samples are in memory and not streamed from a CD, so they should be much easier to locate.

ohh!! that would be very great if you could locate and crop them. thx a lot

Didn't someone (Charles Macdonald, Dave Shadoff...?) make or locate an ADPCM -> WAV converter?  Check around their homepages.  I used it once to listen to the audio in YsIII, and it worked for the most part.

I believe that this is what you're talking about.

Hi everybody
i would have been VERY interested in that tool, but apparently, it's no longer online
please, could you tell me where i could find it ? (and/or what's its name ?)
in fact, i already managed to export some adpcm using sox, but i can't listen to everything that way (there are sometimes some various stuffs on some cd, for example, on tengai makyo 2, there are Ys us version musics and speech, on art of fighting there is an emerald dragon drama .... but, to go back to what i was talking about, i can't extract tengai makyo 2 sounds using my technic, only the Ys stuffs from that same data track (maybe encoded another way ? i don't know ...))
anyway, if anyone can help, it would be great
thanks

Here's stage one of GOT's adpcm data converted to wave - http://pcedev.net/Gate_of_Thunder/got_adpcm.zip

Is it really only 8Khz?  That sounds worse than the actual game for some reason.

i've seen different frequencies (between 4 and 16 khz according to all things i've tested)
but, please, if anyone could give me the adpcm tool, it would be with GREAT pleasure, really ...
thanks
