Several games from which I extracted some data use MIDI for the in-game music.
However, this music is stored in an .MDS file which doesn't seem to have similarities to .MID or other MIDI formats. The header says "RIFF" and "MIDSfmt".
I searched the web for some information about this file format and only found that it means "MIDI session" and is used by "Sound Imp.".
I can't find this program or any other additional information about this file format.
Do you know a converter or tool for playing the obvious MIDI data which somehow contained in these files? I'm posting this on Stack Overflow since information about how to parse it is also greatly appreciated.
Download Foobar2000 and get the component that (Foo_Midi) that JYelton suggested,and then use Foobar2000 to convert it,worked perfectly for me.
.MDS midi files are indeed another old and rare file format used for old games.(I've seen it used in some eroge games too strangely enough.)
