Re: How to rip files baked into executables

Re: How to rip files baked into executables @Figment, as I said before, my Hex editor will not show any hexidecimal notation at all in the AAC.exe executable. However, I did manage to extract the sounds from AAC. I apparently can't extract the sound files from stages though. URL: http

Re: How to rip files baked into executables

Re: How to rip files baked into executables I think Ethin might be confused about what a hex editor does when you copy a chunk of data. If you do it right, it doesn't copy the data in hexadecimal notation, for example, FACEB00CDEADF00D, but rather, it copies the actual data, in exactly

Re: How to rip files baked into executables Hi Ethin,concrete for aac is luck, that It have not encrypted sounds. They are in standard ogg format. You can use tools to search sounds in streams, for example dragon unpacker, which work on this game.If sounds in game are encrypted, you must

Re: How to rip files baked into executables

Re: How to rip files baked into executables No. A chip tune is an audio file. I know this because I acquired the AAC music at one time. I did not back it up, however, and it doesn't seem to be available any more, so I need to extract it myself. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net

Re: How to rip files baked into executables

Re: How to rip files baked into executables What exactly is a chip tune? If it's 8 bit music, what are the chances that the music isn't in an audio format in the executable? Could it be just a string of data that represents the notes to be played? URL: http://forum.audiogames.net

Re: How to rip files baked into executables

Re: How to rip files baked into executables Well, I'm still not violating any laws. There is no license agreement that comes with AAC that says that I can't, so I am free to do as I see fit.@Figment, I do love PE explorer. I got it last night as an attempt to get the sounds. It certainly

Re: How to rip files baked into executables @Xsense, true. But when I do search for it I get nothing promising. PE Explorer already comes with the UPX unpacking plug-in along with several other unpacking plug-ins. And when I open aac.exe, it says that none of those plug-ins actually work
