- OK, here's a strange request....
-
- What I would like to do is get a digital recording of all the musical
- tracks (themes/songs) from the Commodore 64 version of Ultima III.
- THat was the first Ultima I played, and to this day I remember some of the
- music. For reviewing fond memories, it would be great to have these songs
- stored as .WAV, .VOC or some other files for playback on my IBM PC. (and
- sound-blaster of course). Does anyone have an idea of how I may accomplish
- this? Origin doesn't offer the music in any format (I've asked) except to
- order the original Ultima III for the Commodore 64. Even if I did that I
- wouldn't know how to get the music from the game. (2 problems...
- #1-I need to find my Ultima III, my old (last-seen as not-working) C64 and
- 1541 drive....finding all three and expecting them all to be in useful
- condition is hopeless.
- #2-The only thing I an think of doing is to take the audio output (need to
- make that DIN cable that went to a Commodore monitor) and tape the output.
- Then I can play it back through my SB to record it digitally. This causes
- 2 problems in itself...1)I can only select the sound by playig the game and
- getting the exact beginning and ens of songs may be difficult (I don't
- remember) and 2) The recording will most likely be of poor quality.
-
- So does anyone have an idea of a solution? Please email me as I don't
- often read this group. If you believe this should be reposted to a more
- suitable newsgroup, let me know which one you feel will be most responsive.
-
- Thanks.
