I was surprised to learn we didn't already have these.

I've mentioned them before, but the folks at Retrograde Amnesia have been doing a podcast about Chrono Cross, and I noticed that they play the game's SFX throughout it. I reached out to them, and they were kind enough to share some of the sounds and how they got them.

Turns out it's as simple as using a GameShark code to turn off in-game music, leaving only sound effects and background noises, and then capturing that audio with a recording program. Sure, it's not the original files, but the quality is just as good!

I've attached the few they shared with me and use in their podcast. I'm sure there's plenty more in the game, so if anyone feels up to it, we have a method now for getting the rest.

If anyone has the discs unpacked, maybe you can try using this tool: http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php/Game_Audio_Player

I've used it with great success on the Unreal series franchise to rip sound effects. It can brute-force scan entire directories for suspected audio.
