Switching gears, I'm now working on a rip of Lode Runner 3D. I've got a test USF working, low CPU usage and it seems to be size-efficient, there's just two weird things:
1) 19 KHz (what? what?!?)
2) It rips fairly slowly, but not unusually so, until about six seconds in when it suddenly cuts to half speed. CPU usage when playing back the USF doesn't go up, just when ripping. WTF?

Despite the second point I'll run the rip anyway, it's just going to take a godawful amount of time to complete. I've spent nearly as much time trying to make it more efficient, though, so it's a matter of automated ripping time vs. manual analysis time, and I'd rather let the computer work it out than sit here any longer thinking about it.

it's done and online, now

Working on excitebike now... I've got a really strange conundrum here that's preventing it from being useful, though... there are bits of silence (milliseconds long) scattered in certain regions of the playback. I observe this in PJ64 as well, but only when I have "sync game to audio" in the audio plugin enabled, otherwise it plays perfectly. I'm at a loss.

Fixed it, by adding a feature to PJ64 to handle the AI FIFO full flag more gracefully.

This feature does, however, break some other sets (Animal Forest, Chopper Attack, Snowboard Kids, probably others). I'll have to make this optional, switched by the set (like the enablecompare tag).

Sounds good hcs. The new beta seems to handle the AI FIFO well. Good job!

*sigh* All of these hard-to-rip sets, and still no Rush 2049... :(

The arcade version of Rush 2049 plays great in M1, and it's the same songs, just higher quality.

Is it timed?

no.
And in the time it took you to post that you could have checked. At least it's a start.

There are 8 tracks now, I assume that you found another one repeated?

I've just finished tagging Mischief Makers. It's tagged according to the official soundtrack.

Get it here.

Mischievous!

In other news I completed my timing of Battle Tanx: Global Assault, the tags for which are now complete (I think). Unless anyone knows where the unknown one comes from.
