The USFs of Animal Forest that HCS ripped have just about all of the songs that are in the GC version of the game. There are several songs missing though, like the island music, Kapp'n songs, etc... (all of the new songs added to the GC version)
Does anyone know if the GC Animal Crossing (audiorom.img) could ever work with in_cube, or is it in some weird format. The GC Stream DB says it's not supported.
I'll guess I'll see when they next spontaneously stop working, IF they do :)

No retro Tv, Apple Tv, Harvest Tv Widescreen and the snowman Tv are not in the USF and some other songs like Don Resetti, I want this soundtrack as well as Samuel does. The USF also seems a little slow. I've also noticed in the Paper Mario USF set Ralph's badge shop is missing.
Nensondubois: Don Resetti wasn't in the N64 version, which is why his music (which is just a variant on the regular Resetti theme) isn't in the USF.
Songs 'missing' from "Animal Forest" USF set: In the N64 Version: Welcome Back to Town! (basically "K.K.'s Introduction" without the guitar part) Only in the GameCube Versions: Don Resetti's Theme (Variant of "Mr. Resetti") Mr. Resetti's Theme on Groundhog Day (Variant of "Mr. Resetti") Reset Intervention Center theme (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Able Sister's Shop Kapp'n's Tune K.K. Songs: Aircheck/Live Song missing: K.K. Metal (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) K.K. Marathon (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) K.K. Dixie (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) K.K. Rockabilly (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) K.K. Rally (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) King K.K. (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Agent K.K. (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Marine Song 2001 (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Pondering (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Neapolitan (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Mountain Song (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Steep Hill (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Aircheck only missing: My Place (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) Forest Life (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive) To The Edge (Doubutsu no Mori e+ exclusive)
Apparently, songs that are from the GameCube versions aren't ripped because, well, the music data hasn't been found in the GameCube ISOs for those games yet. However, for Welcome Back to Town, I believe it is because that track is combined with "K.K.'s Introduction", causing it to be hard to make two separate songs out of it.

How was I supposed to know what songs were in the N64 version because I can't read Japanese nor have the cart plus regional converter (or gameshark). I did wiki it...
The list of songs that I posted (aside from "Welcome back to town!") consisted of songs only in the GCN versions of Animal Forest. Therefore, they were only "missing" because they weren't in the N64 version to begin with. And "Welcome back to town" is a song that has multiple tunes to it, just like Dire Dire Docks in SM64. The main tune is "Totakeke's Intro", and the other tune is "Welcome back to town", which hasn't been ripped.
Don't bug HCS about it. :P And now, I go back to my Excel Saga. ~Supakitsune
I just checked out the system involved in muting channels in Animal Forest, but it appears that there's a hard-coded system used to not play some of the instruments in the one song that needs it
800FB148 is where the decision is made about which song is played. Since it's not running on the title screen, I'm guessing it wouldn't be included in the the rip.
In the game, here's the practical codes to duplicate the effects: Less Instruments: 80274247 0040
More Instruments: 80274247 0076
Only have them enabled while on the New Game screen. Other areas of the game don't use the address for music purposes.
