A executable extractor and starter for the DOS game Alpha Waves

i've finished my project: alpha_waves_loader

a executable extractor and starter for the DOS game Alpha Waves

about the game:

Moby: https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/continuum

Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9qAtVwSIV8

my project:

github: https://github.com/LowLevelMahn/alpha_waves_loader

release of the tools: https://github.com/LowLevelMahn/alpha_waves_l … g/Release-0.0.3 (the zip file)

benefits:

-for gamers: near to null (the game runs flawless in dosbox)

-for developers: a nice technical journey (see github history) for developers about reversing a dos game loader (disassembling, analysis, porting, etc.)

-for reversers: the game executables now getting uncompressed and the starting of the game is well documented

- its the perfect start if one ever wanted to reverse engineer the game code itself

if you want to try:

1. download: https://github.com/LowLevelMahn/alpha_waves_l … lease-0.0.3.zip

2. extract the (32bit windows) extractor.exe and (16bit dos) starter.exe into the Alpha Waves gaming folder

3. run extract.exe with the path to progs.cc1 as first parameter "extractor.exe c:\games\alpha"

4. run starter.exe under real DOS/32bit Windows or Dosbox with "starter.exe vga adlib"
