Commodore Remix

I'm looking for software to rip game audio. So far I've found

MultiEx
http://multiex.xentax.com/

OpenMex
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmex/

Game Audio Player
http://bim.km.ru/gap/

However they are both somewhat old and this do not seem to be supported anymore. Is there any other software of this kind out there? I'm only interested in software to rip from PC games. I just discovered MultiEx since OpenMex is based on it.

It really varies from game to game.

Some games simply have wav files littered around, others use proprietary compressed audio. More often than not the audio is compressed and stuck in a packed file. Eg Quake/Half life, HL2.

For the more popular games its usually quite easy to find a proggy that will allow you to view the contents of pack file, and extract individual files.

I remember hunting around for ages to find an app that would rip the music from LucasArts "The Dig"

I use GCFextract to extract audio from HL2 and Counter-strike, and also to create my own soundpacks.

U could always just record the sound direct using "whatuhear" on something like CoolEdit/Audition...


Thanks to Kenz for that AWESOME tip off.....

Dan: Awesome. I've been wanting to get hold of such a program for some time. I'll check it out ASAP. Thanks. By the way - its an Adobe program now? I'm a bit surprised to see Adobe interested in audio software; well not that surprised I guess.

Feekzoid: Yes, games use many different ways to store audio, unfortunately. I wouldn't say its all that different from the Amiga with all its many compression and mod formats.

Its a nice bit of kit, whatever you do with it....
