Hello to all Dragonmasters out there!
=====================================
I bet that you were just as frustrated as me by the fact that
"Lunar 2: Eternal Blue" features an incredible soundtrack but
you can't listen to it on your CD Player because the whole
score is stored as PCM-Data instead of Audio Tracks like
it used to be in Lunar 1.
The good news is: If you own a PC I've got a solution for you:
This little program allows to convert the PCM-Files on the Lunar 2
CD into ordinary Windows WAV-Files!
That's better than nothing, I suppose...
====================
Here's how it works:
====================
Simply...
- put your LUNAR 2 CD into your computers CD Player,
- select any of the over 100 *.PCM-Files on the CD (one by one, please)
by clicking on the "Input File" line and looking it up on the CD-Drive
- convert them into a MS Windows compatible *.WAV-File
(that is to be stored on your Harddisk, of course) by selecting
an output path and clicking on CONVERT.
That's all there is to do. Pretty simple, huh?
I guess the sample frequency of the PCM Files is somewhere around
18 khz (that's why I used it as a default), but if you think it's different
you can put in other frequencies (the frequency value is BTW only
used for *.WAV-File-Conversions).
Alternatively you can convert the *.PCM Files to *.RAW Files for
Creatives Wave Studio or compatible software.
Don't wonder that after the conversion the files are half as
big as the original *.PCM-Files: Every ODD Byte in the original
files is always zero and thus I simply dropped them out.
==============================
A comment on Blank *.PCM-Files
==============================
Some of the PCM-Files on the Lunar 2 CD contain no data at all.
They are simply "blank" and playing them as a *.WAV-File results
in "SILENCE". This is not a fault of this software.

The COST

This software is FREEWARE, but I would really like to
hear from you if you liked this tool. Please send your greetings
