INTRODUCTION
------------
*****************************************************************
* This guide will only tell you how to extract the audio for *
* your listening pleasure. It won't tell you how to rebuild *
* the game with new music, because I don't know how to do *
* that, and I don't care to know how to do that. *
*****************************************************************
I've been a wrestling fan since the 1980s, and I've always enjoyed the
wrestler's entrance themes. I own most of the WWF/WWE albums from 1985's
"The Wrestling Album" to 2002's "Anotholgy," while other members of my
family own the ones I don't have. I also have two CDs I made of various
WWF/WWE/WCW themes I've collected over the years.
This is my first music extration guide. However, as of this writing,
I've also written guides for the previous and next games in the SmackDown!
series: 2001's Just Bring It (JBI) and 2003's Here Comes The Pain (HCTP).
While reading Splintax's "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Music Hacking Guide"
(also available for download at www.gamefaqs.com), I thought about
checking to see if the same could be done for Shut Your Mouth. Lo and
behold, it can be done, and quite easily, too.
This guide is based on Splintax's "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Music
Hacking Guide" and he deserves a lot of credit because I never knew
digital audio extraction was possible from Playstation 2 games before
reading his guide.
* SPECIAL LEGAL INFORMATION *
As far as I know, this is perfectly legal. You are merely making a backup
copy of what you already own and leaving it on a storage device (hard
drive, CD, etc.) for future use.
However, it is ILLEGAL for you to put any of the music you have copied
onto the Internet. This includes, but is not limited to, placing the
sound files as downloads on your personal homepage or a corporate music
collection or sharing the files on a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing
network such as Kazaa, iMesh, Grokster, etc. You may NOT distribute these
files between you and other acquaintances through any means whatsoever.
Anything you do as a result of this guide is completely your
responsibility, and neither the author nor any other third party will take
responsibility for your actions.
================================================================================
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
Along with the Shut Your Mouth game disc, you will need the following
on/in your computer in order to do the music extraction.
1. A DVD-ROM drive, or any other optical drive that is able to read DVD
data discs.
2. Microsoft Windows 95 or higher (unconfirmed about 95, but I know it
works on 98, 2000, and XP)
3. Three gigabytes of free space on your hard drive. I don't know what's
the least you could have to do this, but three gigs would give PLENTY
of room to do everything with space left over. Otherwise you may have
to convert songs a few at a time.
4. A copy of MFAudio, which you can download from my PlayStation page
(http://www.theraffon.net/~spookcentral/playstation.htm).
5. A copy of my MFAudio batch file for the game, which you can also download
from my PlayStation page.
You'll also need a program that can handle .zip files. If you don't have one,
you should be able to find plenty at: http://www.snapfiles.com
OPTIONAL
* An audio editor. (personal suggestion: Goldwave)
* A CD making program (one probably came with the drive when you
bought it). (personal suggestion: Easy CD Creator)
* An MP3 encoding program. (personal suggestion: MPEG Suite)
Links to the above can be found on either SnapFiles or my Software page:

MUSIC LIST
----------
This is a list of all of the music I could find on the game disc. This
includes hidden music (not available in the game), duplicates, and audio
that most people probably could care less about.
Some of these themes are fake (not the wrestler's real-life entrance
theme) and some are old (not the current theme at the time of the game's
release - 11/11/2002). Fake ones will be labelled when known. Titles
come from the game's manual or from a wrestling audio CD on which the song
appears. In some cases, if not all, I will list a wrestling CD (or CDs)
on which the song appears - though the version in the game may be
slightly different than what's on the CD. If it sounds *too* different,
I won't credit it from the CD. If a CD is listed, BUY THE CD, because
the version on the CD will be complete and not just a one minute segment
like in the game. For your convenience, there is a section further in this
document containing purchase links for wrestling CDs.
I'm not a wrestling music expert, so feel free to send corrections.
The game manual lists the following music credits, but I don't know which
songs they are for. If anyone can tell me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
"Wallop" performed by AndRoyd (aka Bradley Royds and Andy Hay)
"Tear Down" performed by Bradley Royds
"Come-Et-Get-It" performed by Bradley Royds
Original music descriptions came from SuburbanHell's "Original Music FAQ."
After each title is the track length of the outputted wav files in minutes
and seconds (some include silence at the end) followed by the file size of
the outputted wav file.
The tracks are listed in the following order: multiple songs in one track,
logo, wrestlers, tv shows, and game music.

EXTRACTION WALKTHROUGH
----------------------
** MAKE SURE YOU'VE READ THE "SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS" SECTION **
** NEAR THE TOP OF THIS GUIDE BEFORE YOU PROCEED ANY FURTHER **
This walkthrough assumes that you have a decent knowledge of how to use a
computer. You don't need to be an expert, though. I certainly am not :-)
This walkthrough is written expressly to be used with my MFAudio batch file for
the game, so as to make the extraction process easy and automated. Without my
batch file, you'd have to open up and convert each file one by one. This
walkthrough assumes that you want to copy and convert ALL audio files.
1. Create an empty folder/directory on your hard drive (name it "symaudio"),
preferably in a spot that's easy to get to.
2. Extract a copy of MFAUDIO.EXE to this directory.
3. From the game disc, copy all .PSS files in \MOVIE\ to the SYMAUDIO directory
on your hard drive. (There are only 7 .pss files on the game disc as there are
non in the MOVIE subdirectories.)
4. From the game disc, copy all of the files in these directories to the
SYMAUDIO directory on your hard drive.
\ADS\BGM0 \ADS\BGM1 \ADS\BGM2 \ADS\BGM3 \ADS\BGM4
5. Open my batch file in your .zip program. Extract SYMAUDIO.BAT to the
SYMAUDIO directory on your hard drive.
6. Close all of the programs you have running. This will free up as much
resources on your computer as possible.
7. Run SYMAUDIO.BAT. This file will open and close MFAudio, extracting the
audio from each of the files you copied from the game disc. This process will
take a few minutes to complete. How fast it takes will depend on the speed of
your computer's processor. It *should* be done in well under 10 minutes, but
I make no guarantees about that.
8. You can now delete all of the .ads and .pss files you have on your hard
drive. These are the files you copied off of the game disc, and they are no
longer needed at this point. You can even delete MFAUDIO.EXE in the SYMAUDIO
directory. All that should be left are the .wav files. This will ensure that
you have as much free space as possible for the next steps, and to prevent you
from getting confused by having too many files to work with.
9. Now that you have all of these large wav files on your hard drive, you
can do lots of things with them (wav is a very common format). First you
may want to maximize or normalize the volume and/or remove any silence
from the ends of the wav files. To do this, you'll need an audio editor.
Now, chances are, you'll want to do one of two things with the wav files: put
them on an audio CD so that you can listen to them on an audio CD player or
convert them to MP3 format for listening on your computer or a portable
MP3 player.
AUDIO CD - You'll need a CD-RW drive (or "CD burner" as it's sometimes
called) and a CD making program (one probably came with the drive when you
bought it). Just follow the directions in the program and you shouldn't
have a problem. If you have any problems, contact the folks who made the
program you're using, not me.
MP3 - You'll need an encoding program. Most should be able to convert all of
your wav files to mp3 files in one go.
Once your files are successfully burned to an audio CD or encoded into MP3
files, you can safely delete all of the wavs. You might want to keep a copy of
MFAudio somewhere on your hard drive because you never know when you'll have a
use for it.
** REMEMBER **
These files should NOT be shared with friends, uploaded to the Internet or
shared on peer-to-peer networks. Everything I've told you in this guide
is for YOUR USE ONLY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For those people who wish to convert the files on the game disc one by one,
here's the manual information you'll need. You'll still need to copy all of
the files you want to convert from the game disc to your hard drive.
1. In MFAudio, click "Options" at the bottom left and leave everything at
the default settings, which are:
Sony ADPCM - Use Extended Flagging? YES
PSS - Scan whole file for streams? NO
PSS - Scan up to ? MB? 8
VAG - VAG version number? 0x3
RAW - Default PCM frequency? 48000
RAW - Default ADPCM frequency? 44100
Set as default player for? None of the options.
Click OK or Cancel to go main to the main MFAudio window.
2. Click "Open" at the top right, and navigate to your hard drive (where you
copied all of the files). Find the first file you wish to convert, select it,
and press Open.
3. The program will automatically fill in the correct "Input Audio File"
values, which should be as follows for the ADS files:
File Format: SS2 - Sony PS2 Sound - Compressed ADPCM
Frequency: 44100 Hz
Samples: 16 bits
Channels: 2
Interleave: 20
Offset: [greyed out]
Stream: [greyed out]
For the PSS files it should be:
File Format: PSS - PS2 Movie Audio Stream - Compressed ADPCM
Frequency: 44100 Hz
Samples: 16 bits
Channels: 2
Interleave: 20
Offset: [greyed out]
Stream: 00
Click Play, and if the music sounds right, click Stop. If it sounds
wrong, click Stop and review your settings - you've done something wrong.
4. Now, fill in the values in the "Output Audio File" section:
File Format: WAV - Microsoft RIFF - Uncompressed PCM
Frequency: 44100 Hz
Samples: 16 bits
Channels: 2
Interleave: [greyed out]
5. Click "Save As" and navigate to any folder on your hard drive where you
wish to keep your files. Type in a filename for the music track, then
click Save.
6. Finally, click "Process." When the blue bar reaches the end, your file
conversion is complete. This time varies greatly depending on your
computer's specs and the length of the track you are copying.
You will need to repeats steps 2 through 6 for EACH file you want to
extract/convert.

QUICK ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-------------------------------------------
* No, you may not put this document on your website. I have decided not to
allow websites other than GameFaqs to host my documents/files. Please don't
ask, because I will not grant permission. In order to make sure that my work
is always available in it's most up-to-date form, it is necessary for me to
limit it's distribution to just one site. I just don't have the time to give
updates to multiple sites. If anyone sees this document on any site other than
GameFaqs, please let me know and I will take care of the situation. Thanks.
* Everything I know about audio extraction is in this document. I can't
provide you with any technical support if you run into any problems because, to
reiterate, everything I know is already in this document. Maybe someone on the
GameFaqs message boards can help you.
* Do not e-mail me asking if I will share any audio files with you. It is
illegal to do, plus I don't have any files to share. Everything I extracted
to make the guide has long been deleted.
* I do not know how to extract the Titan Tron videos from the game. It might be
possible, but I don't know, and I really don't care to know. Maybe someone on
the GameFaqs message boards can help you.
* I can't help you with audio extraction for any games I did not make guides
for. If the files on the game disc look similar to the ones used in the games
that my guides cover, then you can try the techniques found in my guides.
Otherwise you're out of luck. Sorry.
* I don't know how to extract audio from non-Playstation 2 versions of this
game (or any other games). My knowledge only covers the Playstation 2 system,
and only the games I've written audio extraction guides for (though some of that
info can be applied to other games that use the same audio formats).
