Music from old Installers (CL*SS, M*TH etc.)

Postby Butcher » Mon Jun 27, 2005 1:56 pm

If someone (like me) loves the music of the old installers (CL*SS) or demos (like from farbrausch etc.) i have 4 great ressources for you ;).

http://www.maktone.tk/ <= Did alot music for Cl*ss and Oc**nine
( Example: http://sidchip.ath.cx/~maktone/mod/CLASS08.MOD )

http://www.scene.org/ <= Great (and old) Ressource
http://www.ojuice.net/ <= Another great Ressource ;)
http://www.scenemusic.net/listen.htm <= ojuice Radio ;)

PS: MOD Files etc. can best be listened with Foobar2000
http://www.foobar2000.org/foobar2000.exe <= Normal Installer
http://www.foobar2000.org/foo_mod.zip <= MOD etc. Decoder (Put in Components Dir.)

But maybe can also been heard with winamp (but badly).

Have Phun :)
and never forget...

winamp does a good job with playing MOD/XM.....

btw: with some experience in ripping you can get the music from the installers by yourself ;)

How ? :) If u know why dont u write a tut or something like that ? Would be helpfull for all the ppl without experience in ripping. U can download CLASS music on Maktone but they aren't full length, after some time they stop.

greeZ

PS: I have the problem that Winamp crushs when i speedly change the tracks. After about 4 it shutdown, no problems with Foobar and some friends also recogniced other/same problems with WinAmp.

Depending on the knowledge-background one has to have in order to understand it, I would be interested in some kind of document like that as well... :p

shit.... couldn't you have asked this in some more private area?

now i have to open up my knowledge... *sob*

anyway:

the plain idea is: the music must be somewhere inside the EXE file of the installer/demo/cracktro/whatever.
we just have to get it out.

for this we have some program called WinRip or WinRipper, hard to find, but somewhere on the net as "wr078.zip"....

on a very small amount of targets we will manage to extract music files (MOD or XM mostly) using this tool.
but most targets are compressed and/or encrypted somehow.

to break this, we need to dump the target. for this we have a tool called
"ProcDump", you can find it on the net.

most times the exe files will be defective after dumping, especially when directly dumping from task list in PD (which is sometimes needed when nothing else works, normally we just choose to 'unpack' instead, target unknown). but this doesn't matter for us, since the data part is intact in 99,9% of all times.
you can try to determine the type of compressor/encryptor using a tool called "PE-Scan" and supply the info acquired to PD.

after we hopefully succeeded in dumping, we just use WinRip on the dump.

voilá!

in some really hard cases we have to manually trace write operations using "Filemon" from sysinternals.com, since some installers write the music file to some temp location before playing it back.....



so, now that i revealed all information which was holy to me, i will leave to find some dark cave where i can get some sleep after crying for hours...

hehe hooray ;). I tried ResHacker 1 year ago ;) Ill try this. Merci.

€: Thanks for the info but i did it more "noobier". Tooked Total Recorder, recorded the file and make it loopable with Wavelab ;). Its fudge big but i tried your progress and it didnt worked. If you want to try yourself: http://sidchip.ath.cx/~maktone/installe ... _10_13.zip but thanks again for your holy information :). There are 1 000 000 people from Class and Myth they contacted me if i can tell them how to rip their installers. I will say i got this information from you ;).

No j/k, thx that helps ;) and if u got back from your cave maybe you can name me or give me (via mighty webspace/Ftp) some of your loved musicfiles :).

man, this was one of the easiest i have ever seen. you just need original UPX to unpack and then RIP it.....

here are the MODs: http://home.arcor.de/dingofish/OCN-2002_10_13_MODs.zip

lazy one, you should have tried more serious.... ;)
