How do you rip music from BOR paks?

Post by MethodGit »

I know there's an extractor that extracts PAK contents and everything, but I notice that the music is in some unique format with a .BOR extension. I can't seem to find anything that could play this format, like a Winamp plugin, nor can I find any BOR-to-WAV tool anywhere.

Is this for protection purposes? Cos' I loved some of the tunes from the original BOR and thought it would've been nice to collect them.

Actually yes.

Start WinAmp by double-clicking the .bor file you'd like to convert, right-click on the window then select Plug-Ins -> Output -> Nullsoft Disk Writer. Check 'Convert to format' and choose whatever setting/format you like. I recommend either 22 or 44 khz mono, depending on which frequency your .bor files have been encoded with.

Make sure repeat is off unless you want it to endlessly rip the music over and over.

Thanks for ya help but 1 more thing.

I wanted to make changes with sound & music for some of my bor games but how do ya convert mp3 or wav files back to bor sound & music files? (Heard it has to do with wav2bor.exe, but where do I find that?)

And that includes how do I convert the game back to a pak file after using pakextractor?
