How to Rip sounds and music from Mame roms?

[smalltownguy]

Anyone have any neat tricks in ripping music and sounds from Mame roms? I'd like to use a theme song from one in my Mala boot sequence. I tried using M1, but I didn't get correct sound samples using that program.

As always, there has to be more than one way to skin a cat, so to speak. Anyone else have any ideas?

Perhaps there's some program out there that I can run in the background to capture all audio from my computer and save it to .wav or mp3 files that I can remix later? Then I'll boot the ROM, let it run until I get the desired music samples I want, and quit.

thanks!

Mame can record sound to a wav file.

I think at the command line you just type

mame romname -wavwrite nameofyourchoosing.wav

Let me know if this doesn't work as I may not be remembering this exactly right, but I know you can definitely do it!

other way (maybe from other games you want to RIP sounds from instead of MAME) is Speaker OUT to Line In and use Audacity to record the sounds.
