Here you will find xdms, which will convert the dms archives to adf images (or "try to" extract the files, as the documentation says...)

http://ee.tut.fi/~heikki/xdms/

If you plan on using WinUAE, you can use the dms archives directly without having to convert them.

thx :)

i tried XDMS and it really worked.. BUT.. then i met another problem.. the modules where packed with .pp (powerpacker) - i did find several powerUNpackers for PC.. but when i tried them.. the result was kinda interesting..

guru meditation ;)

im back 2 where i beguin :)

Since you're using a PC and running Windoze, try DeliPlayer. It handles PowerPacker compressed files, as well as many others.

ppcrack solves your problem

Kyz has solved your problem. The decoding source code, even for encrypted pp files, is in public domain:

http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/packers.php

I would suspect it compiles easily with most unixes. What i did was following:

$ make
$ ./ppcrack ppfile
=> I got file ppfile.decrunched

Worked for me. Actually we use Kyz's source code in uade :)
