Anybody know how to extract audio files from the .hdi file of a PC-98 game? I've looked around some and save for some not very helpful posts on random forums made in the early 2000s, I can't seem to find any way of accomplishing this. It's for a homebrew game from the 90s, so no warez btw.

Tried VLC? You'll probably need some sort of ancient magic library. More info on the game would be helpful, knowing the engine/development platform helps alot with decoding

The game is the homebrew game by the cult Aum Shinrikyo. quote:Here's a link to the .hdi file on Mega. You can use this emulator to run it (Harddisk → SASI #0 → Open and then point to the file. Then select Emulate → Reset). I can play it, but I have no idea how to extract all the soundclips it contains.

Try the guys at vgmrips.net. I'd think they'd know what to do.

http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA013937/editdisk/index_e.html This Disk Explorer utility can get us one step closer by actually being able to see the files in the image. It looks like everything is still in a .DAT though. Edit: You might be poo poo out of luck for *sounds* as it seems it works more like a MIDI and creates the sounds on the fly during runtime based on samples in the sound chip. Music should exist somewhere. I don't know any Japanese so digging through the files and references is extra fuckin' fun! What is the actual name of this game anyway? Edit:Edit: Guessing its Kamiku from the executable in the disk image. Laranzu fucked around with this message at 00:28 on May 31, 2017 |

Honestly after looking at it, cutting the music out with a hex editor might be harder than just hitting "play" and running it through loopback.

Have you seen these pages? http://snesmusic.org/hoot/v2/ http://hoot.joshw.info/ lots of pc98 music in there, otherwise I guess this forum might be able to help: https://www.hcs64.com/mboard/forum.php?showthreads kamikuishikimura monogatari is the name? e: found something saying 001A00 is the hex to look for to extract .m files but I did that on a bunch of files and when playing it was just a bunch of corrupt sounding garbage, so hm. Also found https://github.com/suzukiplan/PMD-extractor but looking at the source it goes for the same hex but nevertheless I'll try compiling it in the morning, just because I like compiling stuff and this game seems really fascinating luncheon meat fucked around with this message at 15:46 on May 31, 2017 |

Thanks so much everyone for weighing in. I don't even know if the music is MIDI, as it sounds like looped snippets of recordings (which might still be MIDI?)luncheon meat posted:e: found something saying 001A00 is the hex to look for to extract .m files but I did that on a bunch of files and when playing it was just a bunch of corrupt sounding garbage, so hm.
