- Further news on Mario Golf 64 tagging by SquareTex at 8:00 AM EDT on October 28, 2005
- I spoke with my friend, and he's slowly but surely working away at Mario Golf. But he's come across one little complication.
You see, he's from Europe. And thus the version of Mario Golf 64 he's playing to verify everything is European/PAL as well. This is causing some differences for him.
Primarily, there's THIS (via YouSendIt):
Mario Golf - European Intro (OGG file)
Seems those lucky Europeans got a far more kickin' opening theme than we did. :)
Also, there's a good chance that some songs in the American/Japanese version may not exist in the European, and vice versa.
But anyway, that's what we are looking at right now. Would it be worth the effort to track down the PAL version of MG64 just to see what turns up?

- I sent Josh the batch files to tag Mega Man 64, but in return, I got a mailer daemon failure notice. So, I'm just bringing up the fact that the tags are done, and are available at my geocities webpage (which is nothing special). Go here to see my site.
Please be noted that Josh still has to approve of these tags, but since I wasn't sure how else to get them to him, here they are.
If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to voice them. If you think you can improve the track names, or anything else, I'd like to hear it. Thanks for in advance, and enjoy! Mouser X over and out.

- Thanks for the tags Mouser X. I am enjoying them now.

- Mouser X, did you write that "PSF Renamer" program yourself? Would you be able to provide a link to it, and maybe its source too?
- by Mouser X at 10:06 PM EDT on October 28, 2005
- I did not write it. HCS made it (and of course deserves full credit), and it proves to be VERY helpful. It's in the "files" section of the PSF_Rippers Yahoo group. Since I can't link you to that section (unless you're a member), I'll post a direct link to the file (which should work) here.
When using it, it will output directly to the command console, so if you're not familiar with DOS like commands, then you'll need to use your parameters (%game% - %name% %ect%) with a "> renamer.bat" on the end (of course, you can direct the output to any file you want, it just makes it a little easier that way).
As for the source, you'll have to ask HCS. Hopefully that helps. Anyway, glad you like it. Again, any suggestions/comments are welcome (I'm highly considering renaming track 12 "Ferdinand!" to "Feldinaut!" as that's the name used in the US game. The reason I stuck to "Ferdinand!" is because, to the best of my knowledge, that's the name the OST gives that song). Mouser X over and out.

- The source is included with the binary.
The tagging stuff at psf_rippers is all in this dir, you just have to create a yahoo account and join the group to see it.
in case you don't want that ordeal, here are my contributions
renpsf - generate batch files for renaming PSFs based on tags
unren - reverse the order of "ren" commands in batch files

- eep, my bad.
I accedently put the wrong email address in the sets, it isnt joshw@... it is jware@...
Yes, the MM64 tags seem to be quite satisfactory (considering i havnt played it)
And speaking of MM64, i have been going through the music indices, and the missing tracks dont seem to be in the regular space, so i will try and find the streaming player and see it it's there.

- Here's an updated version of Mouser X's batch file. I've removed all the unneccessary garbage that the batch generator put in there, and replaced it with a few simple and working lines of code to check for PSFPoint's existence. I also merged the renaming and tagging ones together.

- I see you're using the batch where I gave Dragon Dash credit for helping out on the last few tracks. Yes, that's much cleaner looking than the one I put out (though I did spend a lot of time putting things in order, and generally cleaning up). I just left it as 2 separate batch files because, hey, it was easier that way (sure, it's just cut and paste, but I had already spent like, an hour setting that stuff up).
Anyway, glad to see that all looks good.
As for the missing tracks, yah, I expected that. After playing through the game, it seemed to me that the missing songs are called at a specific time during the spoken dialog. If you find the streaming driver, you'll probably be able to call forth the missing tracks (again, as stated previously, I'd be happy to help run the batch ripper on my machine, now that it's up and running). Oh, and while you're looking through that stuff, I would like to point out (though it's not a big deal) that "sparse2e.miniusf" (renamed to "Mega Man 64 - 926 - Juno Awakened.miniusf") gets a little choppy (it slightly stutters) in the second loop of that song (somewhere around 4:30 or a little after). It's not a big deal, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention, just in case it made a differance to you. Actually, I have MP3s that sound worse, so take it as you will.
Thanks again for the great set! Good luck finding the missing songs (if you don't actually want to spend the time ripping them, I'll do it, I just need to have the info to do so). Also, JoshW, please remember that my original RAR file had the "notes.txt" file in it. I'm not sure if the info contained in it is important, I suppose that's for you to decide. Mouser X over and out.
