One of the greatest / best arcade game (and one of the most innovative [according to Game Machine magazine plus Famitsu on PS2 port] yet short-lengthened light gun game) ever made from Konami, since the start of the Millenium (2000) and before the 21st Century.
Now, it's been 20 years (so as 2 decades), and finally we're here at last! Similar to Thrill Drive 2's OST, this is powered on Konami Viper system - one of their lastly made custom PCB to be "classified". Although, there are some "consistently lucky" arcade collectors and technicians across the globe that are still going pretty well despite the test of time on these games nowadays, atleast too, in the Internet.
And yes, I extracted the sound files that are originally found from the arcade source (originally as a .chd file - using Audacity to import as raw data) before the PlayStation 2 port was released at that time, although they're the same, except some additional songs made in the PS2 as bonus parts (in Extra Game, for instance).
Here's my valuable tips / hints: (In case you didn't go through my channel via Discussion tab / section about it yet)
1. .chd files should be extracted into "your own output file" (e.g. from a41b02.chd to "something like - thrilld2.xwb or whatever you would like to name it") using chdman that is located on your MAME directory (or as applicable anywhere as long as you know where it is), as long as there are sound files into your desired operation. Otherwise, it won't even work at all if going straight to extract raw data from fresh .chd file(s).
2. Open Audacity (recommended), then click File ➡️ hover to Import ➡️ Raw Data ➡️ "find your output file on the MAME directory that you did before".
3. Try using "VOX ADPCM", once after it reads successfully or finishes loading. Take note: VOX ADPCM is useful only to find BGM or music files while Signed / Unsigned PCM takes you only the sound effects at your own desired sample rate. Also, this only works on ALL Konami Viper games at least I experimented with Thrill Drive 2 (which means I don't even know to other systems and from other VG companies in the past). Another thing, sadly though, it doesn't work on other files and only supported at Mono channel, so you may experiment it at your own risk.
4. I don't have any idea why (and how) Konami did this for a very long time, but perhaps, they're known for their "highest complexity" of work so that if someone's reverse-engineering, would be totally "pain in the ass" in the first place.
*So far so good, this should be the very first OST cover of Police 911 / Police 24/7 / The Keisatsukan to be displayed not just only in Japan, but worldwide (ala Mr. Worldwide) on KZbin. And let this "greatest" opportunity to pass on, since the first Thrill Drive's soundtrack (2018) from now and onwards. Good luck and please enjoy this fresh OST, only from Konami!
