I'm currently working on a resource pack for FM Instruments and ADPCM Samples from Various Atari, Midway Machines. Are there anyway of ever getting RAW Samples from these games?

Using Audacity I can only get Drum Samples and a few SFX as well, But the rest is a garbled Mess of white noise of Data.

If it's also Possible to somehow trigger these PCM Voices and sounds in the Debugger command. That would help too. May not be Raw but it may have to do, if there's no other way.

if not arcade, but Genesis \ Megadrive is fine - i can give 2 archives... but it is not original DPCM 4 bit - it is decoded into PCM 8 bit:

http://www.emu-land.net/forum/index.php ... ach=240921

it is MK3 and WWF how it names... (it was decoded for make compatibility with other GEMS games for switching songs between of that games)

at the end of article you can get files structure for that files - FM and PSG, but! warning! do not click on url, if you not have adblock - it have a millions adware

and non english, but that last part you can understand fine.

Note: the Genesis does not use 4-bit DPCM; that's just the format *certain games* store their samples in for data compression purposes.

I'm only trying to get the original samples from the Arcade Systems, btw Please remove the bottom link, I won't click on anything that has adwares and potentially get viruses, no thanks. Though I may look at the 2 archives.
