You can copy an extension in the Extension Folder of MMF2 and rename it. This will allow you to open older games in MMF2.
Marv
I've been wondering the same thing. I'd like to open up a bunch of my old stuff to have a fish around inside for old ideas and things but they're all from back when I was only making PC games and wasn't afraid to have extensions up the wazoo, and now I can't find the original extensions to stick in the mmf1 extension replace folder.
Put the renamed extension into the MMF1 folder?
Marv
Marv, I don't think you read my post properly. We're not having trouble knowing where to put them, we're having trouble FINDING the extensions anywhere on the Internet.
Maybe you might have misread my answer. Rename another extension and place it in the MMF1 folder. Rename any MMF1 or mmf2 extension to the cox you need.
If "our brains" are still misfiring after this post, lets start over. I stated in my first answer to rename an extension. Maybe you don't have to look all over the internet if this works, as it has before.
Marv
oooooooooh, any extension as in ANYTHING! I took a random .cox file, pasted it in the Multimedia Fusion 2/Extensions/mmf1 folder, renamed it kcres.cox, and......drum roll....... it worked! 
You can open the game file but you can't run it until you remove the extension.
I had no idea I could do this, thank you so much!!
Ah, of course! We can just trick it by placing any extension file in there under the right name! Good call, Marv.
OK, great. Sometimes this works.
Marv
That's ridiculous! I copied the original cox files in this folder and it didn't work.
After using your trick it works! Thanks... That really makes no sense...
The ReadMe.txt in this folder says we have to copy the cox and not rename any random mfx.
LOL
It is a pretty wild trick, but I have had more success than using the real cox just like you.
Marv
Hi! Thanks for the trick, Marv -gonna use it to get past some limitations.
However, there are a couple extensions that are so crucial for the game to work that I'd rather have the original .cox -file than remove all code related to the extension.
Might anyone still have Platform.cox and/or AlphaChannel.cox on their hard-drives? It'd allow me access to quite a few older projects, so I'd be very grateful. 
Do you still have your MMF1.5 disks? Maybe they are on the installation disks. It has been so long ago, I was in my 40's.

I think there is actually a version of the alpha channel object available for MMF2 in one of the bonus packs. That should let you open projects that require the alpha channel object. I don't know what platform.cox is, but it might be the same thing as the platform movement object, though I'm not nearly as certain on that one.

Problem is, these extensions are very crucial in their respective games, and having to remove all alpha channels to get a project running might require destroying the whole engine. Platform.cox is none other but our beloved Platform Movement Object, which didn't originally come with MMF. PMO is one of those extensions that prevent you from opening the game altogether if you don't have the legitimate .cox -file.
So, I'd be very grateful if someone could recover either of these extensions from somewhere, although with large emphasis on Platform.cox!

The MMF2 versions of them should be enough. The only reason that the Alpha Channel Object is ported to MMF2 is for backwards compatibility purposes. The Platform Movement Object is also ported to MMF2. They are both in Please login to see this link.. How about you try downloading that and seeing if that works?

Unfortunately opening some of these files in MMF 2 would require me to first open them in MMF 1.5 in order to remove some other stuff that MMF 2 doesn't have (in this case, 1000 global values & strings -extensions). So yeah, I've already tried doing this but no dice. 
Why can you not copy a extension and rename it to the extension(cox) you need and put in the MMF1 folder. Or even rename the copied extension to a mfx.
