SYNDICATE WARS SOUND FILES

SOUNDS FROM THE GAME

The .\SOUND game directory contains sound drivers (*.lst, *.gus, *.mdi, *.dig), configuration files (*.ini) and sounds (*.dat).

We're only interested in DAT files. There are three of them:

MUSIC.DAT
SOUND.DAT
SYNCREDS.DAT

MIDI music file

The MUSIC.DAT is a MIDI file in format XMIDFORM. It's played during fights over the tension cd-track.

This is standard MIDI file and may be played in WinAMP, but it sounds... strange.
I suppose this file requires specific sound samples bank.

Reworked MIDI files:

MUSIC.DAT

Sound effect files

SOUND and SYNCREDS are packs of WAVE files. You can extract single WAV files with any ripper tool (ripper5, mrip, ...) or specific extractor for Bullfrog games, available here(this package includes source to compile with GCC):
