mumboking Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I've managed to extract the music from the PS1 version of LEGO Racers. I converted the XAI files to WAVs, then to MP3s. These aren't just a recording. Download link: Click me With updated metadata and album art (Courtesy of Xiron): Click me If anyone wants the WAVs, let me know and I'll throw them up on Mediafire (290MB). I say this, because the MP3 files have a small silence in the beginning that may affect looping.

Fluffy Cupcake Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 So, before I download, I just want to know, what are the differences between the PS1 and PC/N64 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumboking Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't know of any differences, apart from the fact that the console versions have a different "race lost" tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I just compared this with the PC version, and by golly does the quality sound better! Why didn't anyone tell me sooner!? I've updated the metadata in your pack, and added in the album art from Lair's PC pack. Now this really is the ultimate pack! http://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/195 emily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumboking Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've updated the metadata in your pack, and added in the album art from Lair's PC pack.I tend not to embed album art in the files themselves because of file sizes. If I do embed album art (for single tracks, not full albums), I embed 256px by 256px art.For whole albums, I use a single AlbumArt.jpg (because my phone uses it) in the album's folder Either way, added your download to the first post. :) Fluffy Cupcake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltonunited Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks a bunch! I've been looking all over for this... Is the N64 music higher quality or not? I have my doubts though due to the ROM being on a cartridge and not on CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the N64 music higher quality or not? I have my doubts though due to the ROM being on a cartridge and not on CD. The N64 music is played like a midi file, rather than being pre-recorded. It's possible that the recorded music in the PC and PS1 versions is a recording of the N64 music. I've never really listened to them closely enough to tell. Unfortunately, I'm having difficulty extracting the XAI files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should help you in your extraction quest: http://www.zophar.net/utilities/psxutil/xaex.html That's what I'm trying to use now. It doesn't seem to work on Win10, so I'm using an XP laptop. It keeps complaining about "Media not insert." and "The system cannot execute the specified program." I'm pretty sure I'm using it correctly, so I'm not sure what's going on.

coltonunited Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Maybe try looking up the command line options in the readme. They could help you out in this case... Or just let it execute without any switches and see what it says for command line options (you need to make sure you use the pause command at the end of the batch file).

coltonunited Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Does the filepath that you have the files, the program, OR the result file have spaces or special characters? If so, it could be throwing XAEX out of wack, so check your paths for any spaces or special characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it could be throwing XAEX out of wack, so check your paths for any spaces or special characters. All filepaths are enclosed in quotes, so spaces shouldn't be an issue. Even trying it with the file directly on the C:\ drive fails. There are no special characters either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltonunited Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Then check your file permissions for that folder and all recursive folders (the ones you have to open to get into the main directory XAE is in) and also make sure you're running XAEX as admin.

coltonunited Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The output filename could be the problem too. Make sure it doesn't have any spaces either. Some programs are fussy with those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for sure the disc is in there. I can even copy the XAI files off the disc onto the hard drive. Before you ask, yes I've tried using XAEX on the copied files, no it doesn't work.
