Rip it: RIPPS2 v1.1.2 beta (build 112)

Download RIPPS2.elf (one file, about 3 MB) and put it in place of your old one. Your settings stay where they were. RIPPS2-languages.zip puts RIPPS2 in your language. The theme pack is still edition 108.

The sounds walkthrough

Play it (it opens in your browser). One take, no cuts, the console's own audio: the boot sound, the drive answering, the menu music under everything, then every sound as you browse, in the order of the badges, and a game launching last.

BIOS Music: the menu's own piece

• The menu music is the menu's now. Since build 100, BIOS Music ripped the red screen's music ("Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc": the tense opening, then waves). The browser's main menu plays the clock's piece (5:04), and that is what BIOS Music rips first now.
• Choose which: the menu music (the clock), the red screen music (the disc warning), or both. The menu's is bgm_00 Menu.wav, the track RIPPS2 plays when no other is picked; the red screen's is bgm_01 Red Screen.wav, listed as Red Screen in Audio Settings > Music.
• Ripped before? Your bgm_00 Menu.wav is the red screen's piece: rip again with THE MENU MUSIC, or BOTH to keep the red screen's as its own track.

Hotfix (10/22): the lengths in the BIOS Music chooser ran out of its box; they sit inside it now (RIPPS2.elf replaced, still build 112).

Build 111 is in this release too: the ripped menu music plays at all (any 16-bit WAV, as 48 kHz stereo), music on every theme, sounds that no longer reload on every theme change, Save Settings To that keeps a drive with a memory card in, and the star and Settings highlight on their words. Thanks to lukeatmynose for the reports from a real console.

Beta: keep your usual loader close by, and tell us what breaks in the psx-place thread or an issue. This one wants consoles: does the menu music you rip sound like your PS2's main menu, and does it loop cleanly?
