Sorry if this is the wrong section to ask this question, as I'm new here. Anyhow, does anyone have an extraction script, program, etc, for extracting the roms and/or disk images from woomb games? Browsing older forum threads, I see people mentioning that the tools exist, but I can't find any for myself.

Do note that I'm not looking for the ips patches that patch retail msx releases to their woomb versions.

Ok, I'm not confirm with woomb, only remebered the old thread. Welcome thus!

There are a few Woomb translations "available" in the BetterMSX collection. But it would be nice to see them all out in the open.

Yea, I'm aware. Regardless, though, I did mention that I'm not looking for the ips patches themselves, just the script to extract the woomb releases.

Well, last but not least, you can't say that nobody responded to your question. Smile

I wasn't talking about the IPS patches either, but about the full game files, ready to use on your MSX or Emulator.

Well, it's the same situation; I'm not looking for the final ROM/disk image, just the script to extract them.

Maybe you can explain why the script to you is important? People think it’s just a means to an end (extracted disk or rom) so they expect you are interested in the end result. I am now curious why you are interested in the script Wink

I don’t know if the script exists but I reckon if there is no compression/encryption on the woomb executable (I assume it’s an all-in-one executable, I never saw an actual woomb release) it should not be too difficult to reproduce it.
