I don't know what's happening. I'm trying to play the Super Mario 64 sets, both the rerip and the N64DD rip, but both play too fast in 64th Note. Is it a player problem, or a rip problem? I'm using XMPlay for the plugin.
Edit: I guess it's a player problem. I tried it with Foobar2000, and the set plays properly.
I am wondering if the ambient tracks in the N64 Zelda games are indexed as BGMs but their miniusfs were pruned from the sets before they were released? e.g. Hyrule Field at night, Clock Town at night and suchlike - there are probably a whole bunch. Call me unusual but even those ambiences have some powerful nostalgia for me and I'd enjoy listening to them from time to time!
Are you using 64th Note? Newer rips tend to be somewhat incompatible with 64th Note, which is long unsupported. I recommend using foobar2000 and foo_input_usf.

If you do want to get these sets working in 64th Note for whatever reason, which I do not recommend, you need to remove the _enableFIFOfull tag. I don't know if the timing is quite right, but it's closer.
It's easily done by running this in the directory if you have psfpoint:
psfpoint -_enableFIFOfull= *.miniusf
Here's a batch to do it: removefifo. To use, extract removefifo.bat and psfpoint.exe to the same place, then drag the folder with the miniusfs onto removefifo.bat. (The batch or psfpoint don't seem to like non-ascii names in the path like with Hiryū no Ken Twin, life sucks that way)
I noticed there are some tracks missing though and I so I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Using the music test, the tracks line up to the sparse files in order - with exceptions of the missing tracks, which are 14, 17, 19, 23, 26, 27 and 28.
Examining the sparse files, I see that track 13 references "0D" and track 15 references "0F", so it makes sense to me that 14 would be "0E", but that track is entirely absent and manually adjusting this results in a file that doesn't play.
I was wondering if this is something that could be fixed?
Regardless, thank you Josh for your efforts. It's always wonderful to see more N64 games added in the "new files" section. Happy New Year!
I would like to request rips for the following games:
F-1 World Grand Prix II Robotron 64 Top Gear Rally (NTSC and PAL versions due to the different main menu music) Top Gear Rally 2 War Gods
I'm aware that the original .XM files for Top Gear Rally are out there but I thought it'd be nice to have a .USF rip since the music does sound a bit different ingame.
