Hi.
The hacked LemEdit2 works really great in DOSBOX.
It is a nice 3Byte hack.
Well, long time ago I tried to figure out the compression which is used in the level files and in "adlib.dat" in different Lemmings games.
The tunes from "Winter Lemings"(Holiday Lemmings 1993) were successfully ripped by
Roman Dolejsi and its Multi Adlib format Player:
RDOSPLAYhttp://sorry.vse.cz/~roman/dimension/rdos/rdosplay/-->
http://sorry.vse.cz/~roman/dimension/rdos/rdosplay/rply021b.zip-->
rply021b.zip
-->rply021b\FILES\LEM\*.LEM
If you run "Winter Lemings"(Holiday Lemmings 1993) in DOSBOX,
then you can dump the memory inside/of the emulation, with the help of DOSBOX*'s memory dumper.
After converting the ASCII memory dump to plain binary memory dump,
you should be able to find this HEX value "1C52".
Compare the bytes/ the data after the "1C52" HEX value with the .LEM tunes in the RDOSPLAY archive and you will see that they are equal.
-->That means, in the memory dump,
there are the three Adlib tunes of
"Winter Lemings"(Holiday Lemmings 1993).
However, "Oh no more Lemmings" seems to use a different "Sound Images"-Adlib Format.
In the memory dump I could not figure out the tunes.
But I could find really interesting strings:
"AdLib Music by Sound Images (c) 1991"
Ad-Lib Music/FX Driver - (c) 1991 Sound Images Tel. 061 773 4541
~ Lemmings ~
Press ... A - Very cute
B - Wacky
C - Patronizingly happy
D - The smiling blues
E - Much joviality
F - Not at all serious
Shifted A-Q for Sound Effects
Space - Fast Forward
Enter - Stop Tune
Escape - Quit
Does "Oh no more Lemmings" have a built-in Jukebox?
The strings are not in the VGALEMMI.exe?!??!!.
Even after unpacking the PKLite compressed executable.
The strings must be part of the compressed "adlib.dat" file.
Is there someone, who knows the file compression methods,
which are used in the early Lemmings games?
I think the author of LemEdit would know it,
but his homepage is not available anymore.
Can someone help?
*=You need the DEBUG release of DOSBOX to dump the memory inside the emulation.
Either you compile the DEBUG release by yourself or you get in contact with
