WARNING: GAME'S ASSEMBLY CODE MODIFICATIONS
Be sure to backup your precious game saves on your Memory Card before doing anything in this tutorial. A simple little mistake can corrupt your(s) Memory Card(s). Thats why I'm using an emulator... I am not responsible for what might happen to your hardware by following this tutorial.
What is a Memory Dump ?
First, the Sony Playstation 2 has 32 Megabyte of RAM.
A Memory Dump allow you to "save" the RAM of your console on a storage device to be able to disassemble and analyse it. In this video, I dump the RAM on a Memory Card by tweaking Crash Bandicoot The Wrath Of Cortex game saving function. Instead of saving the game normally, two MIPS assembly instructions will tell the game to dump a range (or all) of Ps2's Memory. As you can see in the video at (25:08), the number of files in a regular save will determine the number of dump copies that the game will do. So, if you want to dump entierely the RAM of your Ps2 (32 Mb), you need a (32 x n)Mb Memory Card, which "n" represent the number of files in the regular save game. Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex save contains 3 files. To make a complete dump of this game, you need approximately a (32*3 = 96)Mb Memory Card.
Note: This tutorial does not apply only to Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex, but to a lot of Playstation 2 games.
Feel free to share your Memory Dumps!

![Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc - Out of Control ~ The Spell is Broken [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NeNQ9_zn6rU/mqdefault.jpg "Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc - Out of Control ~ The Spell is Broken [Piano]
Here is a piano arrangment of the song Out of Control ~ The Spell is Broken composed by Plume Leonard, Fred Leonard and Laurent Parisi for Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.
There are three software used in the making of this arrangement.
1 - AnthemScore: To reverse the original MP3 version of the song. This software allows me to see a visual representation of the actual song and guess notes, plus it uses an IA to automatically do a part of this work. The final product is a sheet music in MusicXML file format.
2 - MuseScore: To re-encode the MusicXML output of AnthemScore to a more versatile MusicXML format. I dont know why, but using AnthemScores MusicXML output in Synthesia doesnt work well, the BPM isnt the right one. Converting the file with Musescore will produce a MusicXML file that will be better with Synthesia.
3 - Synthesia: To get this nice piano roll and also to practice the song on a real piano.
Album : Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc
Title : Out of Control ~ The Spell is Broken
Arrangment type : Reversed from MP3 version
