Installed a game. While info was being extracted from the DAT file, with the CRC check ok next to it, I noticed the first 10 or so files had 0% next to them. Now the sound doesnt work although the game goes ok. It says No Audio Hardware. The first time I ran the game, it didnt detect hardware like a lot do.

Question: Can I open that DAT file in any way to manually extract the info that failed.

Cheers.
