Whats The Big Deal With “Disk Rips”?
All rips should be disk rips. Modules (even exotic ones) can sometimes be modified or converted by the game or demo they are being played by, so a memory rip could potentially give you a less pure version. [Example Pending] There are also occasions when a game or demo can corrupt the song or sample data after it has been loaded. [Example Pending] If you were performing a memory rip on a game, you would have to play the game from start to finish if the game used different music for each level! Then there are the bonus section, high score and game over pieces. Very messy! The same applies to demos; certain demos feature hidden sections that may also have their own music. How could you provide a complete rip if you didn’t know the demo had a hidden section. If the music can not be disk ripped then this needs to be indicated so that it can be placed in the comments for that rip. At some point in the future, these non-disk rips may be re-ripped as disk rips. You still following this?
