Lossless Quality Video Game Music

I know this might be somewhat of a strange request but I’m into all sort of video game music I would just prefer to have them in quality that’s as close to the original source (CD rip, recording) as possible. So my request really is for any video game music you may have as long as it’s lossless quality (FLAC, WMAL, ect).

I’m already getting some wonderful Final Fantasy music in this quality from fast_eddie’s thread:
Thread 39118 so I guess that’s kind of out of the question, although, I really do like music from the sonic series:

Sonic Adventures 1 ~ Director’s Cut~

Sonic Adventures 2 battle

Sonic Heroes

Sonic Riders

Just one from Megaman:

Megaman Network Transmission

Absolutely everything from Kingdom Hearts:

Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts 2

Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

This is just some of the music that I want lossless quality of, but any video game music is welcomed.:angel: I already know that most of the OSTs that I’ve requested are available on this site as well as some others, but I’m hoping to find lossless quality versions from all of them (read signature).:)

I am willing to provide links to FREE/Open-source programs and also step-by-step instructions on how to RIP, encode, zip and upload these files if anyone is kind enough to do this.

So I know this thread is kind of a long shot but it was worth a try. Thanks for reading everyone.

I can post lossless FLAC files of Sonic Adventures 1 ~ Director’s Cut~. It’s a 2 disc album. I have the genuine original album that I ripped the FLAC files from myself. I can also provide a CUE and a LOG file if you want those as well. It’s an absolutely classic album, AWESOME VGM!

Haha. I just asked someone for this album today after like 4 months of waiting. They still haven’t responded. Your timing is really good! 😀 I want this album please, and yes, with Cue and Log. Thanks a ton. 😀

You don’t except PMs? :erm:

I will post Sonic Adventure OSV with CUE/LOG files Tomorrow or on Friday. I’ll post the link here when it has been uploaded.

Awesome! Too bad I won’t have access to a computer tomorrow or Friday, I guess that I could try snatching it up over the weekend but even then it might be difficult.

So what file hosting site do you intend on using? Some of them a horrible, like MegaUpload because they remove the links so fast, sometimes with a day or two. Torrents always seem to be best but then you have to worry about seeders and having too many leechers…. I do happen to know of a site where a torrent to this soundtrack would be perfect and they can keep it alive. 🙂

It will probably go on up on my own server with disguised file names and different file extensions, although if I do that I will be sure to make sure the files are uploaded as binary and not ASCII.

If you’re able to do this over the weekend that would be great. I have to leave again on Monday for like another 5 days so I’m hoping that I can bring this great album with me.

Cyberspark,

Sorry this took a bit longer than expected– I have been downloading like an obsessed Chocobo from vgmcentral-no-ip.com using Direct Connect. Here is the link for Sonic Adventure II Director’s Cut:

http://www.crosskoru.com/temp/MJCA-00034/MJCA-00034_index.html

The filenames and extensions are not disguised at all.

As I said before, it is in FLAC format. However, there are no CUE or LOG sheets, as I don’t have time right now to rerip the discs. Please let me know once you have downloaded all of the tracks so that I can remove the fiels from my account on the server.

Also, if you are interested I have the following Sonic The Hedgehog albums available:

Sonic CD American Version (game Rip, MP3)

Sonic CD Japanese Version (Game Rip, MP3)

Sonic the Hedgehog Birthday Pack � Gold Disc: http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums.php?id=2072 (FLAC)

Sonic Adventure Remix: http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums.php?id=3029 (FLAC, ripped from the genuine disc by myself)

Sonic Adventure Songs With Attitude Vocal+Remix Album: Ever Anime Catalog Number GM-105. This is a bootleg (I don’t buy those disgusting things any more) which I have not ripped yet, so the sound quality may not be as precise as from the genuine CD. But I can still post it for you though.

Awesome!! thanks

For Sonic Adventure 1 Original Soundtrack – Directors Cut, could you please re-upload songs 1, 14, 15, 24, 28 from disc #2? If you click on those songs it’ll give you a "Page Not Found" error.

Tracks 1, 14, 15, 24, & 28 from disc 2have all been Re-uploaded. Sorry about that, I guess CuteFTP was having a bit of a hissy fit. VGM CHOW DOWN PEOPLEZ!

Thank you aotearoa, I now have both complete CDs of SA1 OST DC. 😀 I’m leaving for about 2 or 3 days on Monday morning so don’t worry about uploading anything until Thursday, of course others might still want this soundtrack since it is so awesome. 🙂

I had given up on this request long time ago so it came as a complete surprise that someone would bump this thread with not another request but an actual offering of the soundtrack. I just want to say that it’s very much appreciated. 🙂

No worries, I know it can be difficult to get some of these albums, even on the Internet. I am still amazed that after over ten years of downloading VGM I am still discovering new artists and games that I enjoy the music from. I started downloading back in the day when there was a video games music room in AOL, and downloading a typical MP3 file would take several hours over a 14.4 Kbps baud modem. Plus I could only play MP3s using Macamp on my mom’s ‘advanced’ PowerPC Macintosh from her school. Oh boy, the memories ;-)!

Hey again aotearoa.

I was wondering if you might be able to rip the lossless version, with log and CUE if possible, of Sonic Adventure Songs With Attitude Vocal+Remix Album? Thanks.

"Songs With Attitude" is no longer necessary but "Remix" would be great. Thanks too.

Yeah, I most definitely want "Cuts Unleashed", I really like the song "Fly in the Freedom", it’s catchy.

Any chance the other 2 you posted links to can be uploaded in FLAC format or any other sonic games like Sonic 1, 2 or 3 & knuckles?

I’d like the lossless FLAC rips from Sonic Adventure 2 if you please.

HUnfortunately I do not have any FLAC files of Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic 1/2/Knuckles, or the Sonic Adventure Vocal Songs with Remix+ album (this last album I may still have, but it is actually a bootleg, and usually I only rip FLAC files from authentic discs). However, For Vrantheo and others I could upload FLAC files of Sonic Adventure REMIX. I know it’s been almost a year since Vrantheo’s request for this, but if you still want them just let me know and I will get onto uploading it.

So you still have Sonic Adventure REMIX in FLAC available? That’d be nice!

In return I’ll upload Sonic Adventure 2 in APE… I’m not sure how soon I’ll do, because I’ve been fooling with Zero Gravity Tracks—wish me luck.

(I’ve uploaded Sonic Adventure Vocal: "Songs With Attitude (APE) (http://www.live-share.com/files/351663/Songs_With_Attitude.zip.html)" before, in case you didn’t know.)

Good news. I’ve done with SA2 OST in APE lossless. Here you go (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?p=1175714#post1175714).
