Salve a tutti,

avrei bisogno di riuscire ad aprire dei file in formato .44c , probabilmente si tratta di un formato audio/compresso contentente (sicuramente) una musica.

Rinominandolo in Raw o Wav ho ottenuto un suono danneggiato.

Qualcuno sa se esiste un utility/extractor o un modo per riuscire ad utilizzarlo correttamente?

ciao, non so se ti puņ essere utile:


"What is the address of "On the download page of this website" I'll see what i can figure out.Chaneging .44u or .44c to .wav wasn't the answer.

This is the page with the Web sounds on:

The .44u are just RAW wave files. That is to say that they are wave files with out the header information that tells applications that they are wave files. The header would also contain information about the sample rate, resolution, no. channels and the data format.

If you load a raw file into a wave editor you will need to tell the application what format the file is. In the case off the .44u files in Timeshock! they are PCM 44.1 kHz 16bit stereo, which is the same format as normal windows wave files.

Thanks a lot for looking it to this for me guys. Much appreciated.

You need an audio ripping application, to convert all the tracks to wav or mp3s
I did it with audio grabber. The problem is the game is sycronized to the tracks.
So in order to play them syncronized with the game ,you will need to convert them back
to tracks and burn them to a cd. The cd will have to have the same volume label
as the game. The reason is the code in the executable file looks for the tracks on
the game cd. You also have to have the original exe for the game, if its a rip, or a nocd
patch has been installed it won't work, because it looks for them on the cd.
Hope that helps, I tried to make a music add-on for a rip of timeshock and the best I
could do was make a game cd with just the tracks on it. It does work, however
the original Timeshock!.exe file must be used.
