Thrill Drive 2 [スリルドライブ２] - Full OST

Finally, the LONG WAIT - is NOW OVER! (So very glad that became exciting as new!)

Introducing, the sequel to the original Thrill Drive's soundtrack; it's almost 20 years (or 2 decades) from now (since its release in late 2001 during the AOU Japan [Japan Amusement Expo] show), and I don't see any OST contents here on the Internet and on YouTube for so long that they simply don't know how they do this thing. And that's because, this is "technically complex" to extract the sound files from the .chd source.

But here's my valuable tips / hints: (In case you didn't go through my channel via Discussion tab / section about it yet)
1. .chd files should be extracted into "your own output file" (e.g. from a41b02.chd to "something like - thrilld2.xwb or whatever you would like to name it") using chdman that is located on your MAME directory (or as applicable anywhere as long as you know where it is), as long as there are sound files into your desired operation. Otherwise, it won't even work at all if going straight to extract raw data from fresh .chd file(s).

2. Open Audacity (recommended), then click File ➡️ hover to Import ➡️ Raw Data ➡️ "find your output file on the MAME directory that you did before".

3. Try using "VOX ADPCM", once after it reads successfully or finishes loading. Take note: VOX ADPCM is useful only to find BGM or music files while Signed / Unsigned PCM takes you only the sound effects at your own desired sample rate. Also, this only works on ALL Konami Viper games at least I experimented with Police 911 / The Keisatsukan (which means I don't even know to other systems and from other VG companies in the past). Another thing, sadly though, it doesn't work on other files and only supported at Mono channel, so you may experiment it at your own risk.

4. I don't have any idea why Konami did this for a very long time, but perhaps, they're known for their "highest complexity" of work so that if someone's reverse-engineering, would be totally "pain in the ass" in the first place.

*So far so good, this should be the very first OST cover of Thrill Drive 2 to be displayed not just only in Japan, but worldwide (ala Mr. Worldwide) on YouTube. And let this "greatest" opportunity to pass on, since the first Thrill Drive's soundtrack (2018) from now and onwards. Good luck and please enjoy this fresh OST, only from Konami!
