Need help with music from Lost Dutchman Mine an Lost in Mine

[melomonster]

I want to rip to mp3 music from Lost Dutchman Mine and Lost in Mine.


1) Lost Dutchman Mine. I obtained files:

MXP.LDM crawdad
MXP.LDM mountain
MXP.LDM suzanna
MXP.LDM taps

But no idea how to play them. Xmplay, Delitracker and BZRPlayer won't touch them. I tried to rip at least the title tune through Winuae ripper, it ripped some mod files that are silent and some files with extension Newtronold. Those are also not recognised by anything. I thought about using uade but 1 I don't know how to do it since uade is not in development since 2009 (and Audacious and other apps that supported it have moved with their APIs) and 2 even if I can make it work there's no guarantee that it will play these tunes. I ripped first two tunes (on the title screen) but it seems like there are two more.


2) Lost in Mine. The soundtrack to this game is nowhere to be found. It's not like music in this game is anything special, I just have sentiment to it. Again tried to rip music through Winuae, I ripped music from intro, menu and the music that plays just before you start playing, but I can't seem to rip music that plays during the game. Funny thing is the sample ripper can actually rip samples from the module used in game so it's technically possible to go Ikea on it and assembly it myself, but that's ridiculous. I'm sure there's an easier way. Worst case scenario I will record it to wav through winuae but I'm pretty sure this music is somewhere out there in mod format.

fourcc of the files is MSXS.

Lost in mine modules in the zone

AFAIR 99% of game music has already been ripped.

For "Lost Dutchman Mine" you must use Eagle Player (an Amiga player)


Just download the re-player "Music X Driver" from here

and you can hear the files you have

Problem is I'm under windows (boy I wish there was windows port of Eagle Player). Technically I could set up a virtual Amiga through Winuae and use Eagle Player from there, but that's a lot of work. We'll see, if I won't find ripped version I'll look into that.

Thank you my good sir! You have made my day!

The music in the game Lost in Mine is fantastic
and this is the best puzzle platform for the Amiga
a jewel that most Amiga fans are unaware

btw, is the music in "Lost in Mine" original and composed specially for the game?

I love that game. It's one of these games that made me think that best games come on one disk (like No Second Prize, North & South or Elite 2: Frontier). Houndreds of hours spent panning for gold, fishing, digging gold in mines, shooting robbers etc but never actually found The Dutchman Mine. That's why i want music from that game. The opening theme is rendition of "Oh Suzanna", after that there is a song that I can't identify. Filenames may be a hint as to the song names, though.
