Looks like it uses XNA's MediaPlayer, so WMA/WMV will be present. Workaround:

EDIT: It also does the borderless Forms hack, so it'll depend on us making our SDL window Forms-compatible.

After converting the files to Vorbis, the game does run with very little issues! I noticed that the fullscreen tick box is inverted (ticking it goes to windowed mode, unticking goes to fullscreen) and there's a little black bar at the top when playing in fullscreen, but aside from that? Works more or less perfectly.

Now, if only the game developers could distribute Vorbis rather than WMA...

Can confirm that converting the media files let's the game run fine for me. I had no other issues like the black bar Newbytee describes.

Could very well have been fixed since I tested it. That was soon 2 years ago after all.

Nothing extracted yet.
