Hey guys! Hopefully you can help. I had an itch to revamp some of my old midi, but I lost the original files a long time ago.
So I went to castleparadox to recover some of the ones I'd uploaded. A lot of them worked, but some of them seem corrupted - midi and mp3 alike, actually.
I seem to remember there being a way to extract music from OHR games, but I could be wrong. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yeah, I'm pretty much SOL then. I wanted to grab my stuff from Onlyoneinall's "Bloodlust" demo. And it's PW protected.

Here is a trick that works even if you don't have the password.
Whenever you play the game, all the music gets unlumped into your temp folder.
Play the game, and search your temp folder for .mid files. They will have names like 0.mid 1.mid 2.mid 3.mid and so-on. You can copy them to another folder before closing game.exe
You'll have to listen to them to figure out which is which

I see that Bloodlust has a tiny silent BAM file. I'm guessing you encountered the infamous MIDI looping crash bug, often triggered by very short MIDI tracks (and BAMs autoconverted to MIDI). That's valuable information; I haven't been able to reproduce that crash myself in a while, so I thought it had disappeared.
