I've downloaded many models and textures off of this site, but this is the first time i'm going to try to actually rip something off of a game myself, hope I can do it!
So I have this ISO Disk Image of a game called 3d Frog Frenzy(Don't worry, I had the game before so its legal) and I've been wanting to see if I could get those juicy music sequences and samples, and sound effects as well. I'd also like to see if I could get those level models from it too. (And if I can, maybe even get the frog character too Tongue)
But there's a problem (I think, anyway)...It's just the installer...
I haven't been able to install it (which probably would've unpacked the files and helped out) because it's for Windows 95 (and I have no idea how to use a Virtual Machine Ouch!  ), so I really hope there's a way to get it from the installer files itself.

This is what the files look like, the SETUP.PKG, .DLL and .LIB look promising, but I'll prolly need all of them somehow Tongue
I haven't been able to find any tutorials anywhere on how to rip these files, even from an installed copy, so if someone could point me to some that'd be very great  Big Grin , and if you know how to unpack the files straight from these that'd be even more helpful!
This game is kinda obscure(Has anyone heard of webfoot cough cough) but it holds lots of nostalgia for me, I played the heck out of this game when I was 4-6 so even tho the game is kinda crappy, I still wanna rip the stuff off of it and make some stuff!

(Oh, and I'll definitely submit my findings in the models resources and stuff  Tongue )

DM me if you require..."more info ',Smile "
I would like to point out that pc cd roms typically have all the "RESOURCES" in the compressed .application, .exe or .msi
I see that there are a few ways you can go about this.
7zip is a good extraction program.

#1
Install the game to a decompressed part of your drive that you can access. (I unlocked all mine but that's not important here)
Now that your game is installed on your computer, you can locate the directory where your game is installed.
and try to look for resources in the program files.

#2 you could copy the entire disc to your desktop and extract the .app, .exe or .msi
then look for packages of any sort, and try to unzip them using 7zip

#3 do one of the steps above and report the file types back to me.

PS-I may a noob HERE but I've used other communities
