Hey, I'm just a regular Chris Vrenna enjoyer looking to extract the soundtrack.

Using the above script I end up with a bunch of mp3s some of which are silent and some 1kb-files (raw data I suppose) which I don't know what to do with. The mp3s from FRONTEND package don't play.

Dragon Unpacker produces roughly the same result except there are only mp3s and it actually extracts one playable mp3 from FRONTEND.

Audio packages from the folder PRELOAD are only extracted with the script and not with Dragon Unpacker, and the result is 1kb-files only.

Then there's this playlist on YouTube which has all the files I get, plus the title screen and main menu themes, which implies the uploader somehow managed to extract them (if not just captured with audio recording software). But it also has a bunch of songs captioned as prototypes, and I don't understand where the uploader got them from. Where are they stored? Are they even in the game? I honestly didn't play; I'm just here for the music.
