Unplayable AVI files have RIFF WAVE format listed in hex editor??? No mention of video?? Very strange and confusing.

if anyone has a reup of the dropbox that would also be appreciated

 

FR:

 

Est-ce que quelqu'un a un dump de la version arcade de Tux Racer ? J'étais sur le site de Virusman avec tout un tas de jeux sur glace qui étaient sur une boîte de dépôt mais qui ont été supprimés. merci! si quelqu'un a un nouveau téléchargement de la dropbox, ce serait également apprécié

Tux Racer Arcade

Found this link floating around from last year. Files are already extracted from Linux HDD image.

that's not required if its actually inside

The game’s music and sounds is in the AVI files, but the problem now is that I can’t properly rip it without getting static in Audacity.

And then this afternoon, I discovered that there are multiple audio streams in some of the AVI files when I used Ravioli Game Tools to scan them, which is probably why I can’t open them in VLC Media Player.

I really don’t understand why Konami and Gamewax decided to do this instead of just putting them all in a simple WAV format. It’s all just confusing and frustrating for me.

Is it possible to open the AVI files for this game? I know most of the cutscene videos can be opened with VLC Media Player, but I have absolutely NO idea how to open the rest of them. I'm not sure what to do next.

I have been looking at the data and audio for KKOSI, and I have put the soundtrack for this game on my YouTube upload list. So for anyone seeing this topic, be expecting that as soon as possible! It was very easy to rip.

well that’s tricky to figure without garbage data filled in

Yep. Already tried Audacity. Can’t get any audio without the data getting in the way.

I've been thinking about ripping music and sounds from different MAME roms, such as Mazan: Flash of the Blade and Ninja Assault, etc. The problem is, I'm not sure how to do it. I know there is a tool that rips music from certain MAME roms, but it doesn't work for all of them. I wonder if someone can help me figure this out. Thanks.

I have been trying to get to the sound files in the data folder. I'm thinking they should be the "data.bin" file. However, I have no idea how to extract it. I already tried 7zip and that didn't work. Not sure what to do from here. Any help would be great.

Here's another ICE game that could possibly be looked into. This is Johnny Nero Action Hero, published by ICE and developed by Play Mechanix.

The game is in CHD format. I have also included the rom zip file. Hopefully someone can get this game working, too.

I have heard the attract loop. All I can say is you better start the game before the dreaded voice enters your mind and becomes a festering ear-worm. jk

And thanks for the password.

There is a file that has all of the game's assets called "data.dat". However, a password is required to extract the file. If someone can figure out the password or bypass it, I can get the music and possibly upload it to YouTube.

One way to combine files in windows can be done in a command prompt

 

copy /b file1 + file2 + file3 destinationfile

 

I'm sure there a tons of freeware programs otherwise.

 

copy may not be the fastest way, but it does work.

Well, I tried this in a command prompt, and I'm getting an error saying, "The system cannot find the file specified." Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

For extract the full content of Wheel of Fortune you need to concatenate first the files WOFL_v01.20_Prod_Data1 and WOFL_v01.20_Prod_Data2 (on windows you can do it with copy /b WOFL_v01.20_Prod_Data1 + WOFL_v01.20_Prod_Data2 WOF) after that you can extract the new WOF file with 7z and the extracted new file with 7z again)

 

I've all the files now (almost 11GB), but when launching with TP (I'm Patreon) I got an error and the game doesn't load.... 

How did you concatenate the files? What program did you use in Windows? I am new to this, and I want to find out how to do this. I got the iso files for Big Buck Hunter Reloaded, and I would like to access the full content for the game.

I've managed to extract the game files from this. The game is still encrypted and requires a dongle dump but here are the game files and executable ripped from the ISO:

Use Base64Decode.org to decrypt this link.

Please reup this!

This is only one chunk out of all the game files contained. You would have to install all the restore discs and then find a way to extract the rest of the game files. Just thought I would let you know. Good stuff though!

Why would you run it windowed ?

What do you use for input ?

Did you do a calibration in the game test menu ?

 

1. That’s the only way I’m able to launch the game is to run it in windowed. I have the game placed in the C drive.

2. I’m using my keyboard and mouse for input.

3. I tried to do a calibration in the test menu, but the crosshair will still not move.

Big Buck Hunter Reloaded dump! Restore discs only, no dongle! Install all of the discs to get into the game’s files. Thanks to 7zxkv for making mirror for restore discs.

Well, I was finally able to get Terminator to launch in windowed mode, but now I’m having trouble moving the crosshair when I start the game. If anyone knows how to fix this, that would greatly help. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to get into the Test menu for Deadstorm Pirates? I've tried every key, and none of them work.

Patreon ?

A bit more info would be handy, like hardware used !

Yeah, I just realized I should have put more info.

I have my Patreon membership.

My specs are

Windows 11

AMD Ryzen 9 6000

Nvidea RTX 3050

16 GB RAM

I am having trouble trying to launch Terminator Salvation. So far, the command window on Teknoparrot tries to launch the game and then it crashes. I have no idea what to do. Any help or suggestions would be great cause I would love to play this game. Thanks.

ok, I can try to decode this audio *.adp format, how did you extract Audio.npk ?

Just figured it out! I didn’t have my vgmstream component updated! Literally in plain site! No crackling and buzzing now! Get ready to see the OST for Dark Escape soon!

I used quickbms and ran a script.

Open the audio file with a hex editor and find the first 4 bytes (should say nxpk). The quickbms website should show you the script when you search it up. Download the script that says “Time Crisis Razing Storm” because that’s the script that all of Namco’s PS3 arcade games use. Then, just create a folder where you want to save the extracted files.

Hope this helps.

I have a problem that I've been trying to fix for about 2 hours now. I was able to extract the audio folder in Dark Escape so I can get the soundtrack. The sound format is .adp. I can play it in Foobar2000, but when I play the track, there is this crackling / popping noise, and I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of it. If anyone could help me figure this out, it would be great. Thanks.

Well, I have some bad news. The Dropbox link is disabled on my computer as well, and I didn't think to download the restore discs ahead of time. I'm really sorry about this. If anyone has another solution to get the link working or have any kind of workaround, that would help. I'll keep the topic up if anyone wants to discuss anything regarding this game.

I have taken down the links to the restore discs. This is still a relatively new game, and the links do not work anymore. Thanks for your understanding. You can still discuss here, but do not ask for links or reuploads.
