HCS Forum - xxx.joshw.info Music Archive thread of awesome

by verth at 11:52 AM EDT on July 8, 2013: I have some other archives as well... looks like s98, gba, n64, pc98, pc88, sc68, hes, wsr... any need in those?

You guys have done absolutely incredible work.

so uh... wow. now is a time that I wish I knew about VGM creation.

these songs are up there with Follin's best work too. x_x
by Knurek at 4:06 PM EDT on July 8, 2013: Can't check now, but if the game has a soundtest, consider it logged before weekend.

It's happened.

Time Trax (Prototype) (1994)(Black Pearl)

Enjoy.

by dissident93 at 10:39 PM EDT on July 8, 2013: only 6 songs? oh well, still tim follin :)

oh and BTW, I think the music was optimized for 50hz playback, so this rip may be the wrong tempo.

edited 10:55 PM EDT July 8, 2013
by Knurek at 1:22 AM EDT on July 9, 2013: I don't think it's meant to be played at 50hz.

The header of the rom has SEGA GENESIS text, consistent with USA region roms. Japanese and European games have SEGA MEGA DRIVE text instead.

If you can give me solid proof it's meant to be played at different ratio, I'll rerip the songs.
by Knurek at 4:15 AM EDT on July 9, 2013: I've added all 2000 games from pmh to both gbs and wsr sections. Enjoy.
by Lunar at 5:39 AM EDT on July 9, 2013: Knurek thanks (っ´ω｀)っ
by ghf_50 at 8:39 AM EDT on July 9, 2013: Thanks for your reply @soneek
by dissident93 at 4:46 PM EDT on July 9, 2013: Tim Follin has the 50hz recording on his website, so I'm going to assume that's how the music was originally written.

Also, this Youtube video has the song titles. (and correct tempo)

edited 4:50 PM EDT July 9, 2013
by hcs at 12:24 AM EDT on July 10, 2013: Yeah it definitely sounds slower on the version on Tim's site, resurrected via archive.org here

http://web.archive.org/web/20051227154631/http://www.bobspaddedcell.com/Tim/mp3s/MEGADRIVE%20Time%20Trax%20Title.mp3

Works great if I just have in_vgm force it to 50Hz, thanks for the rip Knurek.

edited 12:57 AM EDT July 10, 2013
by Knurek at 2:48 AM EDT on July 10, 2013: I'll rerip the tunes with 50Hz, but I still think the 60Hz versions should be kept (the ROM header text is a strong evidence of game being written with USA in mind).
by Mario Kinnikuman at 3:19 AM EDT on July 10, 2013: Can we still submit sets, at this point?

I mean, at least upload them for you to download, and upload onto the archives when they're ready, again.

If not, I can wait until you're ready, again.

edited 3:41 AM EDT July 10, 2013
by Knurek at 5:12 AM EDT on July 10, 2013: Please do, either to a one click site, or the upload account Josh W mentioned earlier.

I'll try to add them asap.
by Sir-Sabin at 10:27 AM EDT on July 10, 2013: i've fixed some bad tags in SSBB rip,

Rename to .bat

EDIT: added F08 to the bat, it's 0² Battle not Zero Two

I never saw these in the archive when it still had stuff in it, so I'm sharing my rip. Only some of them are tagged because I never bothered to finish tagging all of them. This set uses Davironica's generic driver, with only the Tower theme not sounding right.

Also, were the dsf's from Marvel vs. Capcom ever included with the streams that were uploaded in the archive?

by VGMfreak at 8:13 AM EDT on July 13, 2013: Hi Knurek, JoshW
I'm looking for the "Sonic Mega Collection Plus" ADX archive for either PS2 or XBox and haven't been able to find it anywhere online. I was wondering if you guys still have a copy of it. Thanks in advance.
by VGMfreak at 8:21 AM EDT on July 13, 2013: Knurek,

pc, amiga, fmtowns, nsf, gcn, wii, ssf, dsf, psf2, psf3, xbox, x360, 3do, gsf are still down
by soneek at 2:55 PM EDT on July 13, 2013: pc, amiga, fmtowns, nsf, gcn, wii, ssf, dsf, psf2, psf3, xbox, x360, 3do, gsf are still down

Try uploading TBs of data and see how long it takes. Everything will take time to get back up, so we have to wait however long it takes.
by Knurek at 4:45 AM EDT on July 14, 2013: Yea, my max upload speed is 128 kB/s, so reuploading everything back will take at least half a year.

NSF, SMS and GSF archives won't be back soon due to pmh/cmh work on them.

@Verth: I'm sorry to say, but the thing that interested me the most on your server (nsf dir) is unusable - it seems to miss all the m3u playlists. :(
by Specter at 5:23 AM EDT on July 14, 2013: Actually, I happen to have a full NSF archive from joshw.info NES directory. As far as know, it has some playlists for the most popular games. Do you want it?

edited 5:26 AM EDT July 14, 2013
by Knurek at 9:02 AM EDT on July 14, 2013: Sure, upload away.
by VGMfreak at 9:19 AM EDT on July 14, 2013: Just 2 quick questions -
1) can anybody help me clarify that if a higher quality version of the unused track "music24a" in "Sonic Mega Collection"(NGC) exists? (there are some rumours that a "music48" 48kHz version exists but I'm suspicious of that, "music24a" is in 24kHz)

2) does anyone have a copy of the "Opening Demo.adx" from "Sonic Mega Collection Plus"?

Thanks.

Sorry! Wish I could help more.

You all have done an amazing service, and I can't thank you enough. If there's any other way I could help, I'd be more than happy to do so.

Thanks again!

by Knurek at 2:07 AM EDT on July 15, 2013: That's okay, appreciate the offer.
I've managed to snatch Specter's pack and added that to the archive. Rest of the archives is on the way.
by Sir-Sabin at 6:59 PM EDT on July 15, 2013: when you put the psp files back up take the .pos files out of them, that are useless now that vgmstream can play at3 files now
by Knurek at 8:06 PM EDT on July 15, 2013: Can it now? That's news to me, hcs has still only r1013 build on this site.
by hcs at 8:24 PM EDT on July 15, 2013: Yeah kode54 has added atrac support, check out foo_input_vgmstream

Haven't looked at it myself.

edited 8:26 PM EDT July 15, 2013

Just tried it out with some PSP stuff, works great!

edited 9:48 PM EDT July 15, 2013
by Mouser X at 10:17 PM EDT on July 15, 2013: So... when will kode54's branch be included in "main" VGMstream? It'd make PSP collections much easier to use (I still have some sitting taking up space, since I don't know how to use them/convert them/whatever is necessary to get them to play).

I have 1 or 2 sets downloaded, but I have no way to upload them (here, there, or anywhere). Most of my internet access comes from McDonald's, Burger King, or the public Library. And it's usually on my way to or from work. :( I really don't have $50+ a month to spend on an internet connection (they advertise $20 a month, which might barely be within my budget, but it's not available in my area...).

Obviously, I'm sorry to hear the failure of the server. Good luck (and patience...) getting it back up. :( Mouser X over and out.
by hcs at 10:30 PM EDT on July 15, 2013: The at3+ decoding is done by an external library, at3plusdecoder.dll, I assume it is this: MaiAT3PlusDecoder, which is LGPL. I think that means we'd be fine packaging it up with the main distribution.
by dissident93 at 11:57 PM EDT on July 15, 2013: I still get errors when I try to play some at3 in foobar with the new vgmstream.

"Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported format or corrupted file)"

hcs, which at3 files did you successfully get playing? I want to see if it's on my end or the files i'm trying to play.

EDIT: ok so I got some files to play, so i'm guessing the files that don't play are not atrac3plus (anyway I can tell the difference?) btw the files in question are all in the Bleach: Heat the Soul series, if that helps.

edited 1:49 AM EDT July 16, 2013
by Knurek at 12:50 AM EDT on July 16, 2013: @dissident93: Yeah, that's ATRAC3, not ATRAC3plus. That's playable by ffdshow IIRC, so you might bring this to kode54 attention.

@hcs: Great, awaiting winamp plugin build at your convenience.
by U.O. at 1:38 AM EDT on July 16, 2013: OK, now that's funny. I uploaded the full NES set 13 days ago at vgm-ssh.joshw.info! So I'm assuming nobody checked that place in first place. Last Modified dates for both !NES Music Archive (2012-11-06).7z and readme.1st are direct proof of this. Second, the file Specter published on the previous page was (at least) repacked, since the original was a 7-zip file, not a zip file!

And third, with nothing more to say, I can only wish the best luck to all of you.
by dissident93 at 1:48 AM EDT on July 16, 2013: @Knurek: hmm ok. i think you should let him know though, since I'm not too keen on the technical side of all this. :P

edited 1:49 AM EDT July 16, 2013
by Knurek at 2:19 AM EDT on July 16, 2013: @U.O.: Apologies, I simply didn't notice your upload. Thanks for trying to contribute at least. :)
by Specter at 1:21 PM EDT on July 16, 2013: @U.O. : I compressed it to the ZIP archive, since I only have an extracted folder on my hard drive. I can assure you that nothing was either removed or changed, it's the same exact set that was available on joshw.info's NES directory.

edited 1:22 PM EDT July 16, 2013
by dormouse at 6:34 AM EDT on July 19, 2013: Hi, correction for "Zool: Mahou Tsukai Densetsu". It's actually "Majuu", as in "monster"; this game is a Pokemon/DQM-type thing. Also, I'm told that a "Ichiro Nemoto" was credited for composition instead of this "Takaheshi Yamazuke" guy; if it helps, this name is also credited for a previous Pandora Box game, Arabian Nights.

(The music is FUCKING AMAZING, by the way. I can't even find a bad song in here, maybe a misused one or something. Makes me so mad that composers like this are the ones that vanish forever, no wonder video game music sucks these days.)
by Tom Phoenix at 11:25 PM EDT on July 19, 2013: I want to thank Josh W for making a Super Robot Taisen 64 USF rip. I've wanted one of those for a very long time and I'm extremely happy to see someone finally take a crack at it.

That said, if you're ever able to check it out again, it could use some fine tuning. While a fair amount of songs are absolutely spot on, some sound very differently to how they are supposed to ("sparse1b", for example). I can imagine it's preety hard work to get it right, but it would be a shame if they remained this way when the others sound so great.

Regardless, thank you again for all your hard work.
by Kirishima at 11:11 PM EDT on July 24, 2013: Silent Scope 2 PS2 version streams:

Finally figured out the format to these, and sharing them here for when the psf2 directory comes back up... if that's ok.
by dormouse at 7:17 AM EDT on July 25, 2013: Hmm, seems Turok 2 likes to break at the 4 minute mark; not sure if that's a 64th Note thing, but I've never seen it happen with e.g. Spaceship in JFG.

And I think we all know about Turok 1 not actually playing anything, I'm sure there's a topic on it somewhere.

by marcusss at 7:57 AM EDT on July 27, 2013: Thanks for the PSP version of Super Stardust. The first level is very long compared to the original and contains remixed music and all the songs loop well in Foobar. Thanks ;-)

by Knurek at 12:30 PM EDT on July 28, 2013: Each is at least 50 GB, so good luck with that.

Just wait for me to finish with reuploading.
by dissident93 at 10:13 PM EDT on July 28, 2013: @Knurek, is there an order to reuploading or are you just going by each archive's filesize from smallest to largest?
by Knurek at 2:29 AM EDT on July 29, 2013: Basically, chronological order by producers (so, Saturn, then Dreamcast, GameCube than Wii, etc).

I did the smaller sets first, because there was no sense in waiting with them.
by Knurek at 2:43 AM EDT on August 1, 2013: Added Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games for first three months of 2001.

Added WonderSwan as well.

by dormouse at 4:37 PM EDT on August 7, 2013: Hm, the PlayStation Datafile has all these rips cataloged but only something in the 0-9 section seems to show up onsite?

edit: Oh no, don't tell me Gran Turismo is the US version only! Ugh, terrible soundtrack compared to the original. That they changed it back with GT2 says even more. Guess I'll have to find out how to rip it.

edit: gba.joshw and pmh: alternate name for F-Zero Maximum Velocity should be "F-Zero for Game Boy Advance"; Japan certainly uses this title, as per ja.wiki and Nintendo's site on the game (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/afzj/). And I assume you're not tracking the Chinese title? Not gonna get started on the stupid colon thing.

by Alpha23 at 5:58 PM EDT on September 10, 2013: Hm... is there a way to contribute to this collection? I could offer something like 250 GB of streamed rips.
by Knurek at 12:17 AM EDT on September 11, 2013: Sure, just post links here or if you prefer, use the upload account:

sftp: vgm-ssh.joshw.info

login: vgmupload, password: vgmP@ssw0rd

There is a writable directory called uploads where files can be written to.
by Alpha23 at 2:11 AM EDT on September 11, 2013: Well, before I upload anything: I have the naming scheme
game ~ release year ~ platform ~ composer(s) ~ notes
Is that a problem?
Is there a possibility to get some kind of credit for the uploads (something like "by Alpha23")?
by Knurek at 2:15 AM EDT on September 11, 2013: I'm going to rename them to fit our standard either way, but the data you have there should be enough not to make my work hard. :)

As for credits, just include a readme.txt file with each archive, I'm not going to remove them. I don't think we have another way to store rip credits in place.

Oh, and please make sure the set you're uploading isn't already on the site - well save me some work comparing them and checking whether our rip was missing something.

Thanks.
by Alpha23 at 2:27 AM EDT on September 11, 2013: I think it's even necessary to compare the rips! For example, I have always included all the movies that include music (properly demuxed of course), which, as far as I can see, isn't the case in your rips. And of course there may be cases where I may even have found more tracks for whatever reason.
So, how can I help with the process? Should I download each of your rips that is in my collection and compare?
BTW, is there any other place where you distribute this arcvhive to make it available to a broader community?
by Knurek at 4:52 AM EDT on September 11, 2013: Just FYI, while loads of sets on the site are mine, most were done by other people. It's true there might be some with missing content, obviously. Most of recent rips should have movie streams included, we just didn't have the tools to do so in 2005. :)

On that thought, there's really no need to download anything, just post a list of things you'd like to have checked (pastebin.com works for stuff like that), and I'll make SFV/MD5 checksum files for them so that you can them compare against your sets.

I don't really advertise much, VGM community isn't really that large, I guess most of people know about the site. OTOH, we don't really mind if someone posts about it elsewhere, IIRC, there's still a lot of bandwidth to spare on the server.
by Alpha23 at 6:26 AM EDT on September 11, 2013: The list is currently in the make as I'm re-organizing my collection. But when I'm finished, you'll get it.

My collection is stored in 7z archives - wouldn't the cheksum then be different in all cases?

Well, the scene on FFShrine is quite large compared to other places.
by Knurek at 6:55 AM EDT on September 11, 2013: I'll generate checksums for files inside the archives, so you'll have separate checksum values for bgm01.adx, bgm02.adx, etc in the set.

This should work for sets with untouched filenames - will let you check whether there's some additional files and/or different actual songs between the sets.

Feel free to post on FFShrine, I don't even have an account there at all. :)
by Alpha23 at 10:29 AM EDT on September 11, 2013: Well, sometimes I've added a string to the filename (e.g. the name from the OST), so the method won't work in these cases. What it comes down to again: compare every rip.
FFShrine could come in quite handy here because there are quite some people who have time on their hands and would be willing to do the job. Would mean: I'd just upload and wait for others to compare. Of course I won't open a new topic posting your ftp information - for this little purpose you'd need to register if you don't mind. You may leave the rest to me. Not trying to persuade you to though but I like the looks of vBulletin forums better for the purpose of posting individual rips as you can establish a pseudo database.
Here's my project so you know what I'm talking about: http://forums.ffshrine.org/f72/video-game-music-preservation-project-119745/
Throwing our collections together would be quite a treat I think. ;)
by snakemeat at 4:44 PM EDT on September 11, 2013: One important note is that the joshw.info archives typically use GENH headers for headerless data, so the original data can be easily extracted, and it is easy to identify what was headerless originally or not.

From what I recall, Alpha23 will add "real" headers to headerless data (SS2 for Sony ADPCM, etc...), making it challenging to identify which sets were headerless on disc or not. Maybe this has changed, but just something I recall from the past?

Just something to keep in mind, and to help identify what the joshw.info archives should contain, one (GENH) or the other (reconstructed "real" headers), or both?
by Alpha23 at 5:20 PM EDT on September 11, 2013: I don't exactly get the importance of identifying if the files had headers or not. Only thing I can think of is either usure fequency or some looping information inside the header (which would indeed be lost using my method).
But other than that I don't see that much of a difference as long as the stream specs aren't changed in the process. And sometimes it's not possible to use GENH headers (e.g. with l/r-split vag tracks, which can only be played correctly when joined to stereo).
Maybe I overlooked something?
by Lunar at 9:08 AM EDT on September 12, 2013: Forgive me if I asked before, but are there any plans to host the vgm.mdscene.net VGMs on joshw? Primarily Arcade of course, but other stuff too, hypothetically.

Of course I imagine some Arcade games would have streams as well ~ a little surprised the directory doesn't exist here already~
by Knurek at 1:06 PM EDT on September 14, 2013: @Lunar: I don't want to bother JoshW for another subdomain, so I put my collection here

Let me know if it's not working for you.
by Lunar at 6:04 PM EDT on September 14, 2013: Works fine! Thanks, this will be handy considering mdscene is unstable ~ also one quick/convenient place to look for sets.

Part 3: http://www.sendspace.com/file/kff4g2
Part 4: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ymxk8y

These were taken from the US version but I used the Japanese name anyway. The music in this port also included music from "Vampire The Nightwarriors".

Should be uploaded to the site in a few hours.
by RukarioGyiyg996 at 7:42 PM EDT on September 23, 2013: Any news on when playing DSF files won't sound horrible anymore? I keep having to juggle around different aoDSF's depending on what I want to listen to and both aren't even close to the actual sound.
by Kirishima at 8:17 PM EDT on September 23, 2013: DSF's will probably start sounding better when Yamaha AICA emulation improves. It's still imperfect in both MAME and DEMUL.

On another thing, should "Street Fighter 3 Double Impact" adp's be uploaded despite not currently being properly playable?

AWW Hell by Kirishima at 9:17 PM EDT on September 27, 2013: I just realized that I uploaded Vampire Hunter at probably the wrong sample rate after comparing it to VGM's I was ripping. The proper sample rate is probably 31500, but I don't know for sure to be honest. Do I have to re-upload everything?
by Knurek at 1:16 AM EDT on September 28, 2013: No need, I can fix them myself, just let me know which value to use (compare with M1/MAME output if you're not sure).

by Kirishima at 7:48 PM EDT on September 28, 2013: I have no idea for sure. I used 32075 originally because it sounded right at the time and it was already one of the sample rates listed, but that ended up sounding slightly higher pitched compared to a "Vampire The Night Warriors" vgm set I was making for myself. Came up with 31500 as the probable sample rate when resampling a wav in Audacity end then comparing to a recording from an official soundtrack. I'll probably end up playing the game through an emulator and recording music from there for a better source to compare to...

UPDATE: SSF has demanded they be played at 32000

by banshiryuu at 6:58 PM EDT on September 29, 2013: Speaking of DSFs, is the pack for Ikaruga from just the DC version or is it the same music in the DC AND NAOMI version of the game?
by Kirishima at 9:05 PM EDT on September 29, 2013: I would imagine it being the Naomi version as I haven't seen a Naomi to Dreamcast port that kept the sequenced music.

Edit: Maybe I'm wrong about that. I just looked at how small the Dreamcast version is... and looked at the release dates for dreamcast and naomi version's(DC:2002; Naomi: 2001)

EDIT 2: Yeah it's the dreamcast version, otherwise naomi would have been listed after the title.

by nothingtosay at 12:18 AM EDT on October 1, 2013: Eh, I was wrong. Never mind.

I'm not sure... Uses 8bit pcm samples like Qsound games... I heard it uses a custom sound chip and that the vgm format supports it somewhat(http://vgm.mdscene.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3224). Probably the only thing to do is record music from the soundtest menu and use that for whatever purpose...
