SOAMC= ENDGAME: The ripper tools
in All about SOAMC= | Thursday, May 24, 2018 | 22:34


In this section we shall present the tools we are using to locate/find/hunt/rip tunes from subjected Amiga files we find during our massive scan.


Update 15 Nov 2018: As of this date, this page will not be updated anymore, it is now just part of history :-)

Update 01 Oct 2018: "ProWizard 4 PC" was added as a 4th scanning tool.


We have earlier mentioned our own tools, but also we're gonna use tools on the Amiga side (running inside WinUAE) for getting ripped tunes out of files.

The most important part of this is to fully automate everything, even if the software used does not support command lines directly.

The solution was to use a bunch of standard tools, bat files, my own tools, rexx automation scripts in a delicate mix.

Pro-Wizard 2.20
Luckily Pro-Wizard has command line support via CLI, in which one could automate a bunch of scanning. The syntax is as follows: "Pro-Wizard path:file AC AE".

Manual says: FILE,AC=AUTOCONVERT/S,AE=AUTOEXIT/S,AST=AUTOSAVETEXT/S

However, in our procedure only "AE" was used as the rest was done by bat file and rexx script.

Pro-Wizard can detect and rip out the following formats out of any binary file:

Protracker Normal
Heatseeker Packer
KRIS Packer
Xann Packer
Promizer v1.0c
Pha Packer
Promizer v1.8a

ExoticRipper v3.30
ExoticRipper does not feature any command line support apprantly, so we need to automate it with fakekey and other trickery. Either by GUI version or just the plain shell format version.

ExoticRipper can scan binary files and find the following formats:

Eaglerippers
Eagleplayer's own engines "Eaglerippers" which are small mini tools that when activated will scan any file loaded for possible tunes. From our 28 million Amiga files archive, I was able to find hits for 451 files specifically located inside "Eaglerippers" directory.

However, after a quick MD5 checksum comparision, we ended up with the following unique rippers + some variants we can use in our hunt.

You may download these at the bottom of page. I believe that these are most likely the only ones available and not much more of these (and variants) exists out there.

Some of these also came from Wanted Team: http://wt.exotica.org.uk/players.html

ProWizard 4 PC
Hopefully this tool will also detect and rip out music automatically for us.

From the website's readme:

Known formats (not updated !)
-------------

Note: The order is alphabetically arranged with the extensions.

Note: the string between "()" is the default extension used by
Pro-Wizard (for PeeCee) when a music is ripped.

Note: "CPU" is the computer on which the format can be found

Note: "DETECTION" and "SIZE CALC" describe how easy it is to detect the
format and to calcutate its size. From the easiest to the hardest :
"child's play","easy","some job","good job","hard job".
Heh, that's MY point of view others might say otherwise for
some formats .

Reference: http://asle.free.fr/prowiz/


Pro-Wizard focuses on typically tracker variants and their numerous packers that existed. Good thing is that Pro-Wizard can scan and find signatures in any binary file.



ExoticRipper can find all of the music formats that SOAMC= consists of pretty much. This one however do not bring up an requester, so we might need to perform some grabbing of text and search for "Possible " to let other scripts and programs we create click on the WRITE button and then "SONG+SAMPLES" to a directory somewhere. After that, click continue and save all other songs automatically, until a "Finished" message appears. More to follow....







I was wondering how to intercept a Eagleripper procedure and came up with a program called "show" (which can lists of lot of HW stuff, including screens and windows).

The output of "W" is piped to PIPE:cool.

Then a small arexx script reads the pipe data and just shows the incoming data. At this point we know that Eagleplayer managed to find a module and can then use Arexx to execute "fakekey" to press the "S" for Save, and then also "C" for continue if there was other modules. Quity nifty trick to get past those user intervention required scenarios.
