Heya Kitty,

If you are after the .HDF file that Retroplay kindly provided then use this link:

Is the eab server down then? I can't connect to it at all now :/

Retroplay · 04 November 2016, 19:51

The lha archive for real Amiga is in this folder here:

[edit]
No FTP seems to be up and running fine for me.

I'll try to rip the audio files from my Megadrive CD and upload them to the file server for you.

Haven't downloaded as yet (in the process) but try this hosted at EmuParadise. It's 327MB in size so hopefully contains the audio tracks in .WAV...

thanks Retroplay, extracted with dopus and it's running, wow this looks awesome

That doesn't have the WAV files separated.

I'm done ripping them, I will upload soon.

DamienD · 04 November 2016, 20:02

Yes, it's a .BIN & .CUE archive

After mounting you can see / extract the audio files with any ripper e.g. CDex.

...anyway, I'll leave it to you.

Amiga1992 · 04 November 2016, 20:05

As I said the archive didn't come with the WAV files already separated which is what Amigajay was looking for. You have to rip them which is what I just did, only I ripped it from the disc.

Uploading now to the server! 212MB archive.

Kitty · 04 November 2016, 20:08

Why am I have issues connecting to the server :/
Has the password sign in changed recently?
I checked Kaspersky just in case it was that, everything is allowed, never had issues before, very odd

[Edit] Asked on correct thread, got my answer, move along nothing to see here

Amigajay, here are the Heart Of The Alien WAV files taken from the MegaCD disc:

Never been a fan of AW but this HAD to be tried! Unsurprisingly, on a Vampire 2 based A600 with ECS, the game runs just perfect, audio is perfect and it also multitasks so nicely I've been able to grab some screens from PPaint here: http://koney-scanlines.tumblr.com/po...lien-tested-on

Now.. there are quite a few of portable MD games out there and I hope this becomes a trend

Big thanks to the guys behind it!

BarryB · 05 November 2016, 02:10

The game expects them (the tracks) to be written on the CD, not as files on the directory. I'm afraid that third-party programs or even reverse-engineering of the game is needed in order to have it read the WAVs from the directory. Also, track 1 is the game itself (the program part of the game), the music tracks themselves start at track 2.
