Help Needed For Extracting Music From Videogame
Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2023 2:43 pm
I was browsing through my downloaded files and found something I hadn't seen in a while, and thought it'd be a good thing to try.
HOVER! is a game slash demo released with CD versions of Windows 95. It's available all over the place, and it's really good.
However, something I noticed was that the music files appear to be in a proprietary format. Because the music is really good, and I want to listen to it in the highest fidelity possible, I thought I'd try somehow extracting the music.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that, so I'm enlisting the help of the KC Forums. Here's what I have so far.
I have uploaded the music files to my personal website in case you don't have a copy and want to give ripping the music a try: https://winfan3672.codeberg.page/etc/HoverMusic/.
Also, the hexdump (seen below) does seem to suggest that the file format is RIFF, which doesn't bode well for me, as that's a generic container format.
If anyone can find a way to rip the music into something like a WAV file, please get back to me. Thanks in advance and I hope you have a nice day.
