Tried using UXX?

It's only able to export the loading screen music... the actual level music is not ripped and those are the .XMI files that are really really odd...

They're probably in the LVL files in a compressed form. It did take a while to load a level on a 486...

I just made a small tool to extract data from Cyberbykes *.BIN files. So far I cannot determine what's wrong with XMI files.

The only playable things are *.INT files; seems that UXX extracts these *.INT files and fails to extract strange *.XMI files that lack any signatures.

Note the FLAG variable: for files that look normal, it is zero, and those files whose FLAG is non-zero look FUBAR. Should be either compression or encoding.

leileilol is correct.. the music is in the LVL files (compressed), for example if you look into "WARWICK.LVL" then you will find the text "seattle.xmi".
I used savestates with dosbox when playing warvick level and then i copied the Seattle.XMI from the save file using a hexeditor, it plays perfect in both Xmiplay and PX

Wow I would of never imagined it's compressed...

Which dosbox build uses savestates? DaumCafe? In either case I would love to debug this program and figure out a way to decompress the .LVL files...

EDIT: Bristlehog your programs really set off Avast!'s stupidity... I take it it's because of the UPX Packer you're using?

God I hate this "Evo-Gen" BS that's happened with avast....

Avast 4.7 still works fine...

Can't figure out what to do with the savestates Daum saves, so I suppose there's a different SVN build that saves RAM dumps of the program in execution?

Yes, I pack my programs with UPX except for PX, which is packed with aPACK to maintain XT compatibility.

Oh okay... yeah avast hates any packed executable, I've been having to keep the damn thing off ever since the 4.x series.

Could you point me out to the specific DosBOX you used that allows such savestates so I may rip the XMI's that way?

It is this one i used: http://ykhwong.x-y.net/

I'm using that right now actually but I don't know how you're able to get the XMI's out of the save states, though I'm not really sure what exactly I'm supposed to do with said save states to begin with...

If there are any XMI files in savestates file, UXX should extract them.

The "savestate" is a PKZip file containing a bunch of subfiles, when I extract the "Memory" file and look through it in a hex editor I find no tell tale signs of a XMI in it. And UXX detects nothing as a result.

hmm.. it seems newer versions of svn-daum is handling save states differnt from the older version i used, you should try and get an older version if possible 😀
