Yes, this is not a joke. I'm working on a Kingdom Hearts soundfont, using the samples from the original PS2 version. Be aware that this game uses A LOT of different instruments, so this makes me go slower when ripping them. Any help disassembling big .dls files into single .sf2 instruments will be appreciated. The instruments are classified by their type (piano, guitar, reed, organ, brass, etc). There are also some "Prerendered instruments", which means that their samples contain melodies or rythms (like an amen break). Download link: www.mediafire.com/?d24197u5g4m1mxvHere's a small sample I made: If you use this soundfont, please give credit, extracting soundfonts from PS2 games is not an easy task (and we're talking about a game made by Square, which means extremely high encryption and protection). Thank you very much, and enjoy!

...I love you. I have wanted these sounds for a long time. I can't wait to hear the completed thing if you do ever finish it.
I just went through and listened to the sounds. Holy crap, man, those "Destati" vocals are incredible.

I /love/ Kingdom Hearts' instruments, and I'd really love to take part in helping compile a soundfont containing these instruments for all to use.

Thank you very much guys, your thoughts are motivating me to continue working on the soundfont. Touyato (Chao) I'll send you, when I can, some files I need help with

It sounds so amazing! How did you do it? I didn't even know it was possible to make a SoundFont from ps2 games!

Apparently, some PS2 games, including Kingdom Hearts I and II, still use the same old MIDI + Wavetable instrument format that so many cartridge-based systems used. All that was needed was cracking Square's formats, which are ultimately probably the least lazy of any. (Contrast with SEGA, who is still using VR images and ADX music)

I hate to necro a dead thread, but.... I'm insanely curious as to any progress made on this, or if there's a way I can help. I downloaded the main sample, and it's amazing. <3
