Ripper6

[Malvineous]

If anyone is interested I have just released a Windows version of Ripper6, a program I wrote to search through game data files looking for known file types. It's pretty basic at the moment (command-line only, and not very many file formats are searched for) but it does rip a couple of unique formats that nothing else does, like the music formats CDFM (Zone 66) and TBSA (Doofus).

As always, it's open source so contributions are welcome if anyone wants to add any new file formats, otherwise hopefully someone will find it useful!

That's a pretty neat thing and I've thought about writing a similar program for a while. I typically would need it when working with MVB files as found on CDs of the publisher Tronic:

They contain avi videos that I usually have to extract with a hex editor.


Mep, here's some feedback: The Win32 executable gets rejected by Windows XP 32bit for not being a valid Windows 32bit executable

Oh sorry about that! Turns out when you use Visual Studio 2013 you have to enable XP compatibility mode for it to work under XP! I've updated the download link (v0.1 -> v0.1a) so hopefully it will work now.

Let me know how you get on, I haven't actually tested with .avi files (only .wav which are also RIFF) so it would be good to know if it works. There is a 16MB file-size limit on most RIFF files to avoid false detections, but there should be no limit on the size of AVI files as I figure they are often legitimately larger than 16MB.

It works now like a charm

Hooray! Thanks for testing
