    Hi, I'm trying to rip the all the background music from my PS2 game Dual Hearts, seeing as there isn't a soundtrack released for it.As I do not have any experience in doing this, I really need all the help I can get.When i slot in the game DVD into my DVD drive, there were these files in the DVD:

    ADPCM.IRX
    BGM(Doesn't really show it but when I open its Properties window, it listed it as a .DAT file)
    DATA(Same with BGM)
    DEMO.PSS
    DENSHO.PSS
    DUMMY(No association.Properties listed it as File)
    IOPRP234.IMG
    LIBSD.IRX
    MCMAN.IRX
    MCSERV.IRX
    MOTION(Same with BGM and DATA)
    OPENING.PSS
    PADMAN.IRX
    SDRDRV.IRX
    SIO2MAN.IRX
    SLPS_250.26(Type was listed as 26 files in Properties)
    SNDN2DRV.IRX
    SYSTEM(Type was listed as SpeedDial in Properties)

    I assumed that the music files were contained in the BGM file and proceeded to try to extract them from it.Knowing that it was a .DAT file, I immediately googled for a .dat music extractor and found extractors like AOA.However, when i tried to extract the file, it says that BGM.DAT cannot be opened.I would really appreciate any efforts to help me with this.Thank you for your kind attention.

    I figured it out.Apparently, I had to use MVaudio with the right configuration set. Now I just have to do the tedious job of splitting a 61 min music file to its individual tracks.Thanks a lot for your time guys!
