Issue with DTX, or alternatives to get Descent 3 SFX ?

[ablationer]

I wanted to extract the guidebot sound effects but DTX2 is obviously outdated and won't open under Win7, even with a different compatibility setting.

Is there any other way to get them?

If you have Win7 Pro, you can actually run DTX in XP mode. I can't recall whether there are any good alternatives though. At least not for audio.

I'm on Win7 Ultimate 64bit, and neither DTX or DTX2 will run in XP sp2, sp3, 2k, or 98/ME compatibility mode.

DTX and DTX2 cannot extract Descent 3 sound effects anyway (they only work for D1 and D2 respectively). There should be a D3 hog tool somewhere that will work in 64 bit windows (DTX/DTX2 would work in the 32 bit edition of windows 7). Try here: http://www.descentvalhalla.com/d3/downl ... pment.aspx Any of the HOG2 tools should be able to extract the sound effects he wants.

I had to try a few, but HOG2 Workshop worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I wasn't referring to compatibility modes - I was referring to the VM built into the higher-end editions of Windows 7.

Here's the MS reference for XP mode.

That's precisely how I use DTX & DTX2, within XP Mode.
