I-Phone Sound Ripping - ebiltun - 02-21-2012
Is there a way to extract the sound from I-Phone Games? or from any Mobile Phone Games?

Generally what I do (for mobile phone games anyway, dunno if i-Phone works the same), is I download the .JAR for the game, and I open it in WinRAR. Then, you should see a folder titled "Payload". Open that (there will probably be another folder inside that with the name of the game, with ".app" at the end, open that too), and then you should see different files like images (usually .PNG), .M4As (music), .BINs and etc., but as you know, you want .WAVs. If happen to find any, extract all the ones you see and ta-da, you have your sound submission! It varies however and some games may have every audio file in .MIDI format with no file name indication as to what are sounds and what are music (Bomberman Deluxe). If this happens then hopefully they will regain their quality when converting them to .WAV (since .MIDI sounds bad on some sound drives lol). Good luck! That reminds me that I need to find more mobile games to rip from...

Iphone games don't use .jar, but you can open them using winrar still.

And for reference, to get that iPhone game file, just open iTunes and drag it to your desktop (assuming it's one you've downloaded from the store). It should have a .ipa extension and they are indeed openable as archives.
