Try archiving it in a ZIP file (by adding the PRX file to an empty ZIP file), then upload the ZIP file (with the PRX file in it).

atari st emulator

Ni?? What's this? I don't understand. LR2 is for windows.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Oh. Try running Lode Runner 2 with DOSBox and see if it can run it.

 

[DrStyles]

I can play lr2 without dosbox. But when i try to open lr2 or the prx file with dosbox it says illegal command.

Alright, I narrowed things down a bit. There are two possible answers. Probably my last 2 cents.

1. The PRX files can only be loaded in memory, and it's not viewable. My guess is that the file content is in some kind of coding, or similar that only memory modules can read directly. It's not something you can read in human readable language.

Your best bet is to go and find a suitable hex code viewer in this Google results. Use the hex viewer to read the contents of the MENU.PRX to help you. There could be some accompanying files that would allow MENU.PRX to do something (to/for the menu of something, as the name suggested).

Also, viewing something that's already compiled is a pretty daunting task. I'm not good at reading hex codes, so I could only give suggestions.

2. The PRX file is probably what the developers made as a placeholder of some sort of contents to put inside. There's nothing you can do about it. Mentioned in a small picture here, I don't see any PRX files used as a component in a Windows game, or something people would find out and use a specific program to open/read game contents clearly.

The link above is also where I got the idea that PRX files are specific to Atari ST emulators.

You could try a different route and ask someone to decode the file. But you're probably going to hit a dead end sooner or later. So, it's up to you.

Aww. Well I guess I'll have to give up on that (At least for now). Thanks for your help though. There are a lot of them and have much of the content of the game I think. Like the sounds and such.
