Emax

The source code of EMXP is not available. But you don't need it because the EMXP executable can perfectly transform all samples from your old EMX images into WAV files.
Just make sure the files have an extension of .EM1, and convert them into .EB1 bank images first (by choosing 1-->2-->(select .EM1 files)-->1 in EMXP). 
Then select the samples from the .EB1 file and convert them into WAV (by choosing 1-->1-->(select a single .EB1 file)-->8-->(select one or more samples)-->1)
 
BTW The decoder in EMU2WAV is indeed wrong.

I sure was surprised at how incredibly loud the hard drive was when it returned, and I recall that being a factor thereafter in using it. When I last fired it up a few years ago, I had HD errors on a couple of banks...if I resurrect it, it will certainly be with that HD replaced with flash or something...

EMU2WAV just converts the entire disk to audio, data sections and all (so, huge burst of garbage, then the samples in order with short glitches between them). I took a quick look in a file editor, and I could figure out what I need to given time, but it's probably not worth it to me. I don't know if the modern source to emxp (is it even available?) has that info.

I'm surprised that for most disks, the distortion isn't noticeable in casual listening, but on ZD707 (the mixed choir disk), the sounds is incredibly distorted, with continuous artifact throughout the sound (it sounds like the scratchiest record you ever heard—a continuous stream of clicks and pops). After fixing the code error, ZD707 translated into its old familiar self. I can upload the fixed and modernized source code, but I might improve it more first if I can find details on the disk format.
