Open/import REALLY old Reason file.

I used Reason in 2002, can't remember the version. Now I would like to remake a song from back then so bought Reason 13. But it refuses to open the 23 yr old file. Is there any method than can make me succeed with this? Even just extracting the MIDI scores from that old file would to fine.

Emailed Reason support and got a reply within 20 minutes suggesting adding "rns" to the file name. And it worked!

Can’t ask for better than that!

That's awesome! I also have reason files from back then and always wondered if there's a way I can open them again, thanks for that post!
