Does anybody know how to open AIM Instant Messenger buddy icons (.aim links) to save them as images on modern Windows versions? I'm stuck using Windows for this because it requires Quicktime (which still works btdubstep) and the launcher is an EXE. I am trying to get goodies off of the Meteora enhanced CD.
Unfortunately, the website toolkit and LPTV episodes, among other things, are not recoverable because the SWFs just redirect to parts of the website that no longer exist and aren't archived. So if it's just a link, why bother with Flash at all? The native Quicktime videos I can convert to MP4, and I screenshotted the launcher UI. The AIM icons, I could just screen record their previews as GIFs, but that's not ideal.
IIRC from Neopets, AIM icons are 50*50, so I think the screen recorded previews were native resolution. Neopets was nice and uploaded theirs as images. Why can't you be more like Neopets? The rest of the enhanced CD goodies are now up, for the ones that are still accessible and not reliant on external weblinks. > https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/musicscene/cds/meteora
