Hi guys,
I'm wondering if any of you can help me find a music track from a 1994 Assembly demo. The demo is called Fairytale, and the group that made it went under name of Styx. The music tracks for the demo were written by MrWilloW. Now, the thing is, I have the demo, but it's so unstable it barely runs on pure DOS systems, and there's no way to start it up under Windows, it even manages to freeze DOSBox. But regardless of the horrible programming, I really love the music from it so I'd be thankful if anyone can help me. Alternatively, if nobody has the track, I'd be happy if somebody would tell me if there's a way to extract a music track from the demo itself. Anyway, I'd be really glad if someone here could help me!

I've had a look in all the instrument texts and comments of IT files of the entire archive and have not yet yeilded any results. I'm afraid it looks like these guys didn't release their music here on modarchive, perhaps you can also look at ftp.scene.org ?

The actual mods (7 of them) are in the fairy.t file in the archive (demo). They sound corrupted when played back on windoze replayers after I ripped them.
The text file says they were written in fasttracker and screamtracker but the header data for each mod uses the protracker signature. They could be slightly modified for the demo but I dont see why they should be. I'm not sure if the m.k is at the correct offset, or how to calculate the samples. The mods themselves sound :quote: old :quote: (samples from St-00) i suspect. :shock:
It needs someone who knows the mod structure better than me, bcoz I dont. Anyone else know about the mod file structure?

Just a quick update.
Asle at AMP has successfully ripped these modules and has added them to the AMP database. You can find them under the MrWillow handle.
Nice one Asle! ;)
