How to Obtain
Ripping WSR files requires an intimate knowledge of the WonderSwan's hardware and involves tediously reading through the machine code of the ROM and extracting the information that is sent to audio chip. Luckily, most popular WonderSwan games already have their sound ripped to WSR format and can be downloaded from the following sites:
- wsr.joshw.info - Josh W (individually 7Z archived, most with proper timing).
- zophar.net/music/wsr.html - Zophar's WSR archive (individually 7Z archived).
