Thanks for the extract, Terry. Am I correctly understanding that the embedded bubbles are in
.wav format? (i.e., not .sgt)
Yes. I just clipped the file out of the executable (under Unix) with:
Code:
dd if=MarineAquarium3.scr of=fishss22.wav bs=1 count=669806 skip=5465112
One conclusion might be that if MA3 used the same code for playing the bubbles, that it does for playing music, then the bubbles "should" work for everybody.
That's what I thought, too.
Another conclusion might be that if MA3 used embedded CanonGuitar.wav instead of .sgt, it "should" work for everybody.
What's the difference in file size between .sgt and .wav?
Quite a bit (which is what Jim was getting at earlier). CanonGuitar.sgt is 56KB, less than 1/10th the size of the 8 seconds of bubble .wav. That's why I said it would probably make sense to concentrate on the bubbles - the large .wav is already in the program.
