Hey
I am wondering about the way CD-i games plays music. Many other game systems have support by music players to play it's music (NES has NSF, SNES has SPC), and opening the cd-i games i have found a sound file with the extension .rtr
Is there any known way to extract or stream the music contained in rtr files? I don't know if all CD-i titles use this file type, but the ones i have checked do, and many games have interesting soundtracks that would be great to access to.

It's certainly possibly to extract audio from CD-i real-time files (which is what the .rtr files are), but not really very easy. I don't know if there are public tools in existence.
Of course CD-i Emulator contains all the necessary functionality and I will probably release a stand-alone "CD-i File Player" at some point.

Would said CD-i "file player" let one convert the files to a format that would make them useable outside of the player? Or is that something that completely uninterests you?
(In example, convert a .rtr to a .mp3?)

Yes it would support "exporting" files, but probably not to mp3.
It would export to 16-bit PCM wav and probably a few native CD-i formats as well.

I know you're extremely busy, but I just wanted to express my interest in the rtr file extraction/conversion you mentioned. If you find the time to implement that functionality, I'd be thrilled!
It's like 1993 all over again!

You can get the whole Tetris CD-i soundtrack here.
It was extracted from the game disc using the tool PSMPlay (used for extracting Playstation 1 music) and converted to MP3.
