How do I rip from old games? - RavenclawNimbus - 09-10-2021

I wanted to rip from Pajama Sam, but I don’t know how.
It’s not made in any new programming software, so I’m not sure how I’m supposed to do it.
Does anyone know if there’s a program for old games like that?

A typical method is just popping the disc in and looking at the files inside. There's usually the .exe executable and then some folders or files that might hint to being graphics or audio or whatever.
What files does the disc contain? Are there folders inside with names like "GRAPHICS" or something?
Once you have you suspect files I recommend opening them in a hex editor and/or GGD.
Keep us updated!

Well, I actually only have it on steam. The folders aren’t familiar. There seems to be audio files, but they aren’t any normal extension.

Also, love your signature! XD


Edit: I found a .zip file called "scummvm-2.1.0" I extracted it, and there was no .exe, but there was a folder called graphics. But it only has files like, .cpp, .h, .mk, and .js. They aren't image files from what I know.
