Whats the game?

 

Gran Turismo 2.

 

im wanting to get all the music off it so i can put them on my ps3 and have them for the menu audio for Gran Turismo 5.

 

i prefer the menu music from Gran Turismo 2.

I agree but that's a tricky one.......Beyond my expertise anyway

Might be worth seeing if g-spot codec appliance can tell you if they are in a normal format, if not they are likely to be in a proprietary format and unless someone had brought a converter out specifically for that format I doubt you can do anything.

 

heard its possible, its just tracking down the software to do it.

ant a clue how you work that. i added the .DAT file from the game and this is what it shows.

Use VLC and convert it.

Or you could do a search as there are other freeware apps that can do it.

That's fine - it is a type of CD (Compact Disc - Read Only Memory Extended Architecture) data - don't know anything about it myself, but I'd try what fake says, if not try an audio forum, will probably know more there.

 

You might even be able to simply google "cdxa to mp3 converter".

 

thanks for the help. but gave up and found an even easier way lmao.

 

went on youtube, found the tracks i wanted on there and then used this site to download them off youtube: http://uk.onlinevideoconverter.com/
