=== Using extract_loom_tg16.sh === | |||
This tool uses a combination of cdrdao, bchunk and - optionally - flac to dump the data from the CD. You should hopefully be able to find packages for all of these for your Linux distribution. It then uses scummvm-tools-cli for the final extraction. Use the --help option to see a list of allowed options. It will create loom.cue and loom.bin files in your current directory. If, for some reason, you need to dump the CD again, you will need to remove these files or the script will re-use them as is. Here is an example of a command line to use: | |||
extract-loom-pce.sh --compress ./loom-extracted | |||
This will compress the audio tracks to FLAC and place them, along with the extracted *.LFL files, in the loom-extracted subdirectory. | |||
