Hi,
Could someone post a short step-by-step tutorial on pulling a song out of a
demo or game using Multi-ripper? Maybe you could use one of the graphics/
audio demos on one of the FTP sites as an example...
I've tried using the program on a couple of different things and I haven't
had any success!
Thanks!
-Rocky

I think it is in amiga/demos/euro now that ab20.larc.nasa.gov has been cleaned up. 1. change to the directory where the demo is 2. read snrukel 3. hunt NB 2&3 are the cammands. This doesn't always work, and sometimes you have to resort with scanning the whole disk and then hunting to get the module. I had to do this with Coma for example. Those are the two main ways I try it. GPS.

You should be able to save it as a fully working module from there. This is necessary because sometimes people intentionally screw with the module so that rippers cannot find it, but it will still play. I have gotten this to work several times with multi-ripper and protracker. Make SURE you save a BIG chunk from the ripper - I always use at least 100k. This will ensure that you get the whole module, and the excess will be gotten rid of by loading it into the tracker prog anywayz. Hope this made some sense.
