I've started work on Onegai Monsters but I have thus far not been able to find a song select thread. I'm guessing the song select was the same thing as 64 Trump Collection (they were both published by Bottom Up) but so far that has appeared to be a bad guess so I'm going to try the alternate way - see wtf is going on with a0. alSeqNew and alCSeqNew are also present though there are no jump-and-links to them. Hopefully I'll try this on the weekend.

You may have heard of it, it's called Robotech - Crystal Dreams...
edit: Goddamn, I keep getting stupid TLB errors. The problem might be that pj64 1.4 isn't too fond of the Robotech ROM...

Robotech Crystal Dreams incomplete rip
Sim City 2000.
I wasn't able to find out what was getting the CPU to shoot up when threads were killed, but oh well. It should hopefully be done by friday, providing I start the first bit of batchripping tommorow.
Thats the problem that i got with DK64. I think i removed about 500 consecutive instructions.
Oh, and while it crashes after a while - i got this problem whilst ripping the first Bomberman Hero Rip. It was fixed after I nopped out ~50 jals, mostly osRecvMesg and osSendMesg.

"However theres a bug in one of the tracks, in a few of em actually. The most obvious one is track 26 with the "Losing to a boss" song, one of the notes are bugged. I was disappointed becuz thats one of my favorite short tunes, and Spaceport Alpha and Darkmoon Caverns being the best in the chest."
Perhaps the person reporting was comparing them to MIDI sequences, which are usually composed by ear and are therefore sometimes slightly inaccurate.

What's new:
-added tracks 0x13 to 0x1b.
Please let me know if any data is missing in some songs so I can rerip them.
CPU usage is still outrageous though. Just when you thought it was safe, too.
Listen all. If a set seems to use a lot of CPU time (and i mean heaps) more than is should (i.e. Robotech Crystal Dreams) then there is probally a loop like what i will describe.
I experience this just now in mario golf, but i am betting that it might be in others too.
In a root of a thread probally down near the bottom of it there is a call to osViSwapBuffer. This is inside a mini loop what also might have a comparative branch skipping over it. Also slightly under this is the branch back to the start of the thread.
Now this bit is quintessentially important. The loop in which the osViSwapBuffer is in, just NOP out the instuction which loops it (probally a BEQ), and the branch to the start of the thread, you will need to insert an idle loop (patch 0x1000FFFF, then an 0x0) and that should do. if not exactly like this, it will most likely continue like it was, or crash terribly as i have experienced.
However i will test this with Robotech, and verify this.
edited 1:04 AM EDT October 21, 2005
However what unknownfile patched into it surprised me that it even worked.
Well lately i have been going into a fad instead of NOPing out of loops, i have been trying to idle them (could reduce cpy time)
To unknownfile: A much simpler method.
((DWORD*)N64MEM)[0x2BA58/4]=0x1000FFFF;
((DWORD*)N64MEM)[0x2BA5C/4]=0x0;

((DWORD*)N64MEM)[0x2BA28/4]=0x0;
Earthworm Jim 3d
Toy Story 2 (my first n64 game ever!)
Both of these use the alSynAddPlayer fcn, so I'm guessing I'm dealing with something different this time.
I think if i patched what i patched when the PC was at the end of the MusicSelect function.
Neat music from an unreleased game.
Josh took a look at the game to see what was making it not work in the batchripper, and he ended up with a working set.
Therefore Josh W. gets credit for the set. Hoorah.
YUM
yo moron i have limited connection so i dont have time to research on which shit to send to which retardo like urself.
I wasnt listening to MIDIs you stupid shit, I have the real game and I know exactly how everything sounds, what I dont know is how .USFs work, whether its the USF or ur crappy ripping. And man like u r missing like 5 tracks, wheres the Dino Domain? Central Area? Sherbet Island?
Snowflake mountain? And y do u include the stupidest silver coin SFX?
Well neway even tho ur a retard thanks for rippin at least most of em decently. The music is pretty phat.

edited 7:49 PM EST February 7, 2006
Yes, and i get stuck with the hard ones.
Thank you. I am VERY excited about that. (Yeah right.) :)
Maybe you should talk to Josh or hcs and see if they will teach you how to rip USFs from games that don't use the generic driver. That way you will be able to help with the requests list. It seems a shame that you are spending all of this time ripping music from games that nobody is really interested in. (With the exception of Diddy Kong Racing.) Just a thought.
I hope so because I really like the intro music...
Look at 0x8004D8E8
I forgot about some of the other music... :) great stuff, thanks.

that's ooone big video thread
and it's now in the ripping process. I did as Josh suggested and put an idle loop before a function relating to osViSwapBuffer.
...and it's done. Problem is, it's 4.7 MB, and there's only about 10 MB left on the server, so I can't post it here.

I figured out the audio thread's location and got a relatively good result out of it but it wouldn't let me run the USF using a clean savestate. Arg.
Anyways, here's the audio trace I managed.

Since I don't know where the hell the sound select is, this code is shit, but it does quite nicely in terms of patching.

This is a rarity as the game uses the n_audio library for its sequence functions.
Also, this game is able to challenge Fire Electric Pen in terms of musical quality.

So here's some code. Like the Rocket code, it waits for a certain function to be called. As such, it sucks. Here's the code, though.
// Namco Museum 64
if (PROGRAM_COUNTER == 0x80093D90) {
//if (songflag == 0) {
if (runyet > 30) {
if(MessageBox(NULL,"osViSwapBuffer was called. Patch and save?","Song Break!",MB_YESNO|MB_ICONWARNING|MB_SETFOREGROUND) == IDYES) {

sprintf(SaveAsFileName,"pacmaaan");

runyet = 0;

else {
runyet++;
}
//ShowRegisters();
}
Decent music, especially for an obscure Japanese game.

All I have so far is a single music track since I can't find the song select. Here's the opening theme track:
Now without a huge savestate
I've been waiting for that rip for quite some time now. Hope it's possible at all... Thanks in advance for your efforts, both of you!
lol.
Yeah good luck with it. It be nice to have that music.
Ah well, guess that's the way things go.
I wiped my hardrive several times and still seem to have all my stuff
I have 1080 in a somewhat shaky state right now, but I am without the song select code, and it is being quite a pain to find it.

Some songs contain plenty of static, and others will crash Winamp. I am going to rerip the set later today, so consider this a preview.
For those who want to listen to the title theme:

I will most likely be releasing the set as big USFs since the miniusf situation is causing glitches. Better to go for something that works rather than size, I guess.

Other than that, thanks for that, and I'll see what I can do, though I can't make any promises.
Le edit:
Regarding the tracks I couldn't rip:
sparse07 would've been "This is a Test"
sparse13 would've been "Vacant Lives"
Both of these would've had a different drum beat, so I really don't care about them.
Those missing ones above, by the way, might not've been in the game.

edited 9:48 PM EST January 17, 2007
That's the rom I have, too. Did you use the same sound plugin?
Just a complete rip is a good rip... ;-)
Please rip the missing tracks if you're able to and have the time for it.
I'll see if I can get the two missing OST tracks so I can tell wether they're in the game or not.
Can you please try to remove the annoying "click" sound that plays at the beginning of most of the tracks in the WarioWare: Mega Microgames GSF set? It gets very annoying when browsing the music files.
If you can please save my ears by fixing that, I would appreciate it.
You asked for requests - there you go.
Hopefully, they're working on it anyway. The San Francisco Rush 2049 preliminary rip is up, if you want to grab that.
Also, I'm going to be tagging 1080 this weekend, so ha ha ha.
