"HOWTO-LoomTG16" is out of date — at Initial Version

Description

The Wiki instructions for how to extract the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 version of Loom has unfortunately suffered some bit rot over the years. Not surprising I guess, since it's a fairly obscure version.

  • Win32, Tool option 1 - dumpcd: The "Alternative Link" is dead.
  • Win32, Tool option 2 - TurboRip: The link is dead.
  • Linux, Tool option 1 - dumpcd: The source code link is dead.

I do not have any suggestion for how to fix these links, though I do still have a copy of dumpcd-0.1.zip. If the bug tracker allows, I'll attach a copy.

I've also spent some time trying to find a way to extract the data without having to resort to exotic tools. I'll attach my work-in-progress script. It's as good as I can make it, but perhaps someone will better scripting skills can improve it?
