Thanks to VAG for reverse engineering and documenting yet another game-related multimedia format, this one even older than most. It’s a format with the extension .c93 that was used in the DOS game Cyberia<\/em><\/a> published by Interplay. The game was also published for the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and 3DO. I wager that the first 2 ports made use of each respective console’s standard APIs while there is an outside chance that the 3DO version used this same format.<\/p>\n

According to my master spreadsheet, I have, not 1, but 2 copies of Cyberia<\/em> in my collection. I’m sure there’s a funny story behind that. They’re on the queue of several dozens of games yet to peruse. Anyway, there are samples available<\/a> and VAG has the complete specs written up here<\/a>. This looks like another great entry-level format if any aspiring new multimedia hackers wish to try implementing support for FFmpeg<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
