Getting GBA/NDS Music Multitracks

So some months back, I found out about GBA Mus Riper and how it was possible to rip high-quality GBA music with its easy-to-use tools. Later on, though, I realized midis could store each channel's parts separately and that it should be possible to just listen to certain channels in the midi. My search for this led to mostly installing bloated trialware/crippleware that just wasn't what I was looking for.
The NDS side wasn't looking too bright either since the mini2sf format wasn't as workable. I even found a YouTube video that claimed foobar could output multitrack files, but I never found out how (because that would still be faster).

And now, even after being more-or-less familiar with Reaper, there still wasn't a fast enough way to rip each midi channel efficiently. And of course with no installs. My search led me to midicut, a program so old, even modern Windows won't run it. Combined with the light msdos.exe tool which allows midicut to run, I knew it was now possible to rip GBA/NDS multitracks by the batch load.

Keep reading to find out how!

More X-Over stuff

New world and armor, so that usually means another archive update. Just use the link on the right. Here are some interesting preview picks from the past couple of months.

More X-Over Rips: Star Force Bosses

The Star Force world is open and with it, it brings many new cool boss sprites. Check out the new, updated archive which is now a team collaboration.

Previews after the break.

EXE 6 Crossover Event Translated

If you've wondered what I've been up to the past 20-or-so days, it was helping in the brief EXE 6 Crossover translation. You can read more about this and download the patch directly over at TREZ.

This patch translates the Crossover scenario in EXE 6. Saves are included for you to play from the start of the event. Crossover Battle 2 is also fully translated and even lets you play with an English-patched Boktai 3. The EXE 6 patch is available in purist JP version and traditional EN version.

More Xover Stuff

World 8 came out today. With it, tons more content is added to the game. The updated archive contains more than 30MB of new content. There are dozens of cards from those 2 obscure crossovers with other similar games. There is a new armor and a MegaMan 7 stage with uninspired sprites.

Download it here!

Rockman X-Over Sprites

We finally got sprites from the game! By "we", I mean me, DjangoDX, GM, and Midnite. Remind me if I'm missing anyone. Especially, huge thanks to DjangoDX for actually having the game and getting stuff. Download all 90MB of sprites right now!

You can also view a few of the new arts in the TREZ Gallery (link on the right). Some of the battle sprites are very nice while others are silly-bad. We're still missing stages and possibly a few things here and there, but this is the meat of the game. Character sprites are in resource\textures\atlas and card images are in resource\images\capsule. Here are some of the more interesting graphics to come out of this.
