I have a game that I suspect has unused .snd files. Specifically, one of the game's resource files contains a .bmp image and some code for an unused area. The code also mentions several .snd files. I really wanted to extract these .snd files, but I can't seem to find any file extraction software that can extract .snd files from Windows games. Does anyone know of one?

It occurred to me that rather than extracting the .snd files, I could just try to get them to play somehow, perhaps by editing the resource files. I really have no idea where to start with that though. If anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, I'd appreciate any tips.

You might be able to extract data from the file using Dragon unPACKer, a utility designed to unpack data files from various video games. It contains a 'generic file unpacker' addon that looks for sound, image, and video files that might be contained in any file you throw at it. There's a chance it won't work, but I'd definitely say that's your best bet.

Otherwise, you could always fiddle with importing the .snd file into Audacity with the 'raw import' dialog and playing with the settings until it works...

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
