NBA Hangtime MS-DOS audio by ohdeer at 4:41 PM EDT on May 14, 2022

So I was curious about ripping the audio from NBA Hangtime for MS-DOS.

You can find an ISO here: https://www.myabandonware.com/game/nba-hangtime-87c

Afterwards, open the ISO with 7-Zip and there should be a GAMEDATA/MUSIC folder. In that folder are files with the .pcm extension, however vgmstream doesn't play these files.

Anyone know how I can rip the audio?

If you want me to upload one of the tracks so you can take a look at it, let me know.

This .PCM.txth seems to work.

codec = IMA
channels = 1
sample_rate = 22050
start_offset = 0x00
num_samples = data_size

I think sox sounds a little better, with less clipping.

sox -t ima -r 22050 -e ima-adpcm SONG_001.pcm -e signed-integer -b 16 SONG_001.wav

Added this variation to the latest vgmstream:
https://vgmstream.org/downloads/

You need to use IMA_HV as codec, waveform should be correct.

Thank you bnnm, the music sounds correct now.

Wasn't expecting such quick work!

Thanks bnnm for updating vgmstream and thank you Newbie2000 for the initial .txth config file.

non music sounds by jimorridon at 8:57 PM EDT on June 21, 2025

i used this code:
https://github.com/alk0ve/hangtime/blob/master/decode_pcm.py

took this snippet off though:
"b = ord(b)"

how can I get the other sounds though, not just the music from the DOS / Windows version?

I see there is a SND.BIN file.

jimorridon, try using the arcade rom and using DCSExplorer to extract the sounds.

DCSExplorer can be found here: https://github.com/mjrgh/DCSExplorer/releases/

To use, open a command prompt and use:

DCSExplorer.exe --extract-tracks=nbahangt nbahangt.zip

When you run this command, you should get 1595 wav files in the same directory. This includes SFX and commentary sounds.

Documentation for DCSExplorer can be found here: https://github.com/mjrgh/DCSExplorer/blob/main/DCSExplorer/README.md

I've always hated that the main music tracks are in mono.
