And now for something original: Is there a program or something that can create a complete MP3 from a BMS file with all of the itty bitty sound files?

That would be awesomely badas.

Since all of the sound files used in the song are in the BMS folder and the BMS file itself can arrange all of the sounds to make the complete song, it's completely possible; although, without a program to do it, it would take a ton of time and guesswork.

The best way to do that would probably be to put BMS on autoplay and figure out a way to record from there.

As far as BMS -> MP3, there IS such a thing, kinda. Unfortunately, the place that I got it once upon a time (like, four years ago) doesn't exist anymore or requires a login or something else equally bad for the situation, and I don't have the program anymore (it was on my now-dead laptop). It converted a BMS file to a WAV file, and I'm pretty sure you'd have no problem converting a WAV file to an MP3. I did a search for the file name (bms2wav_inst.exe), and didn't get anything...

...but at least you know such a thing exists.

Found it!

http://homepage2.nifty.com/ma~/tools/index.html

Download the "tjbms2wav007.zip"

Now for the tricky part. Take the file and put it inside the folder for whatever BMS you wish to convert to a WAV.

Run whatever c:/ prompt thing you have on your computer (DOS, XP's crappy emulator, whatever) and have the directory be the BMS folder. (The command for changing directories is "cd directory", replace "directory" with folder you're going to...if you need to go back folders, type "cd..". Just in case you didn't know...my DOS is pretty damn rusty.)

Now type "tjbms2wav filename.bms", but replace "filename" with whatever the name of the BMS file is.

It'll take a little bit (probably 10-15 seconds per minute of audio, maybe less), but it'll output a WAV called "filename" in that folder. I'm sure you either have or can find a program to convert WAV to MP3.

Hopefully this'll help.

Also, completely unrelated (but on topic)...any of you guys see this?

Hey, I would need some relatively easy beatmania songfiles, all the links I was proposed on J-Pop weren't working.

This thread may be almost 2 years old, but by god its a sticky, so I will post here.

Does anyone know if there is a karaoke pitch game simulator out there?

Something like a stepmania for games like karaoke revolution or Singstar. I thought it would be an AMAZING idea to have a simulator where people could add their own songs with lyrics and pitch tubes, so they would be able to sing all their favorite songs that may not already be on a karaoke pitch game.

Well my computer is crap, so I won't be playing it to the most of its ability until next month when I get a new one.

But it seems pretty rad so far. I haven't made any songs myself yet, but I found a huge database here

For now all I can do it play and get horrible ratings and only occasionally see my pitch show up, but I can live with it for a month.

awesome, seems like they have a lot of good stuff on that site.

as for it not running well, try the nondeluxe version. Since its, err, not deluxe, i imagine it will run on worse computers, lol.

gasm · Trick Member Joined: 27 Apr 2005 Location: Montreal

Yeah, already tried it, they work about the same. I may just install it on my roommate's computer while he is away

for some reason i can't get songs+my mic working on the deluxe version but the nondeluxe version doesn't look nearly as nice.

gasm · Trick Member Joined: 27 Apr 2005 Location: Montreal

Have you tried moving the purdy theme from deluxe into the old version?

Also, I tried it on my roommates computer and it is to die for

And the mic from the game Boogie works great for it.
