Can I get Midis from a compiled game?

[Meowster]

Hi hi,

I lost a lot of stuff on my harddrive that I want to get back. One of the things I really want to get back is the music for Beyond Reality. Is there some way of erm... opening the erm... finished game so I can get my midis back? If this makes sense...?

Petteri, do you have any of the midis that you could upload for me, too?

Does it help if you, say, start a sound recording program, set it to record, then launch Beyond Reality with it recording away in the background?

Not ideal, but then, if you want ideal answers, I'm never the one to call...

CJ can decompile game created with AGS versions before something which I can't remember. Maybe 2.6...

Midis in a compiled game are not compressed, so probably Dragon Unpacker or Multi Ripper or similar tool will do.

But are they covered by the encryption?

i just managed to extract WAV and MID from a 2.71 compiled game with Multi Ripper 3 which i've uploaded to www.lacksawesome.com/mrip300b.zip
just move the game exe to the folder you extract the ripper to, then go into a command prompt, go to the mrip folder and type mrip game.exe, when the app starts you'll get a message about a portable EXE or something and a dialogue box, select yes and once it's done what it wanted to hit F6 and it'll scan the file for stuff it can rip and extract it to the folder you launched it from.
