1. Extracting game data

You can access the data for Flipnic by following this process.

Copy BIN files from the game disc

If you dumped the game already and have an ISO file, you need to extract these files from the ISO file.

Extracting content from BIN files

The game data is contained inside these BIN files. A recommended tool to extract data from these files is FlipnicFileTool. Download the latest version that is compatible with your OS.

Next we want to open a command prompt/terminal in the same folder where we downloaded the executable file. So, if the file is located at "C:\Users\Example\Downloads" we want to run cd C:\Users\Example\Downloads.

Try running FlipnicFileTool --help (on Windows) or ./FlipnicFileTool --help (non-Windows). You should see something like this:

To perform real extraction, you can run the following commands:

• FlipnicFileTool --input <full path to FONT.BIN> --extract-files --output FONT
• FlipnicFileTool --input <full path to RES.BIN> --extract-files --output RES
• FlipnicFileTool --input <full path to STR.BIN> --extract-files --output STR
• FlipnicFileTool --input <full path to TUTO.BIN> --extract-files --output TUTO

The extraction may take a few minutes during which you should see an output that looks like this:

Once the extraction is complete, you should have FONT/RES/STR/TUTO folders containing game data in the same folder you had FlipnicFileTool in.
