Great news for everybody who wants to
grab Adlib Data(no Wave/PCM-Data) and hears good old adlib tunes from games which use encrypted or packed game files and tunes which could not ripped until now
(e.g. some or some more Lemmings games , Pixel Painters Games: Electranoid Xatax....etc...etc....).
I love Adlib Music but "RAC"(RDOS Adlib Catcher) by "Roman Dolejsi" does only work on 368 and lower and this is/was a huge problem.
Many Games only work with a CPU higher than a 386 and that was really bad for RAC again. Crashing the whole system was the result.
In this way I asked " Roman Dolejsi " if he could add an "Adlib-RAW-Data-grabbing-feature" to dosbox and he did it.
This slightly modified source contains an
"adlib raw data capture engine" which stores each OPL2/Adlib acces to a file which can be played with Roman Dolejsi's "RDOSPLAY" or Peter Simon's "ADplug/ADPLAY".
Now many online chiptunes pages can improove/complete their archives too.
advantage is:
The file is very small because it only contains OPL2/Adlib commands and no PCM-Data
Here are the sources:
http://www.winamp5.de.tt/dosbox-0.61-adlib-grabbing.rar
or
http://mitglied.lycos.de/borgnumberone/dosbox … ib-grabbing.rar
Well there is a small problem:
Roman only has Linux and I only have VC++6 and so we cannot "produce"/compile the win32 version of that special adlib-grabbing-dosbox.
Is there anybody which could built the win32 Version?
