Binary extraction

Here it goes some script to extract binary images of dsp code and data from *.dsp file:

DSP file format organisation

A .dsp file contains a header and 6 sections of data. All offsets are calculated starting from the end of the header. (Positions in hex):

 0-3  : 'ADEF'
 4-6  : 0
 6    : Unknown. Values we've seen: 0x0D (ADPCM), 0x10 (PCM), 0x82 and 0x85 (MP3), 0x73 (WMA)
 7-F  : 0
 10-13: 'DMLS'
 14-15: Offset (in file) of IDM-Low memory data
 16-17: Length of data
 18-1B: 'DMMS'
 1C-1D: Offset (in file) of IDM-Med memory data
 1E-1F: Length of data
 20-23: 'DMHS'
 24-25: Offset (in file) of IDM-High memory data
 26-27: Length of data
 28-2B: 'PMLS'
 2C-2D: Offset (in file) of IPM-Low memory data
 2E-2F: Length of data
 30-33: 'PMMS'
 34-35: Offset (in file) of IPM-Med memory data
 36-37: Length of data
 38-3B: 'PMHS'
 3C-3D: Offset (in file) of IPM-High memory data
 3E-3F: Length of data
 40-FF: Unknown. Seems to be there a few bytes of data inthere: communication locations? Checksums?
 
 100-11E: A plaintext timestamp (for example: "date:2005 02 01 time:15:32:31PM", spaces being null chars)

It is assumed the data is loaded directly to the IPM/IDM-locations, where e.g. byte 1 of IPMH, IPMM and IPML form one 24-bit DSP word.

All file offsets are in words ( 1 word = 2 bytes here)
