A utility I made in C# programming language to extract .ASF files of Super Monkey Ball Deluxe game disc, PlayStation 2 version. This program could also works on other games which use the same .AFS file structure.
The first part of this video is an analysis of .AFS file structure. You will see how these (not-so) mysterious files are working and also understand the inner working of my .AFS File Extractor.
The second part will show to you the extraction process of some .AFS files, including the biggest one (STAGE.AFS) which store all stages data.
Here is the download link for this utility:

![Persona - Aria of the Soul [Piano]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0ISxxP03Wv0/mqdefault.jpg "Persona - Aria of the Soul [Piano]
Here is a piano arrangment of the song Aria of the Soul composed by Shoji Meguro for Persona 3 to 5.
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 : Persona (3 to 5)
Title : Aria of the Soul
Arrangment type : Reversed from MP3 version
