I bought Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood yesterday. So far, it does an excellent job of pulling you in, and not letting go... Even when the battery light started flashing, I didn't stop. I plugged in my DS and continued playing. Until 3 am... Which is bad, since I had homework due which I hadn't yet started on. This morning, I got about 40 minutes of sleep... And I feel terrible.

That aside, I have to say that I was surprised by the music... I'm going to give the 2SF set a 2nd listen through, but with as "simple" as the music is, I'm not sure it's as broken as I had at first thought it was.

With that, I've filled the purpose of this post. Now I'm going to catch the bus, sleep on the bus, go home, and sleep for about 2 hours. After that, I need to go to work. :( Luckily, I don't have homework in tomorrow's class. Boy, I am really a glutton for punishment when it comes to sleeping habits... :(

Oh! One last thing - I noticed the link to the gallery is crossed out. Do you plan on putting it back up at some point? Just curious (though, I do hope smile.jpg made the transfer to the new server... It makes for great shock-value!). Mouser X over and out.

Gallery isn't going back up until I get a new version of gallery installed. Having an old version of such a popular package just provides a big fat attack vector.
And smile.jpg is still around, the gallery was only images that someone might want to see.

Over the weekend, I spent some time (finally!!) converting the Tetrisphere USF set to ADX. "Why in the world would you be crazy enough to do that?!" some may ask. The reason is that I wanted to be able to listen to Tetrisphere in Rockbox, looped. I was going to upload the *.bat files I created (I made one for converting it to ADX, and one for LOGG) along with the LOGGs, but I forgot to bring my flash drive with me today.

The other thing I worked on (much easier I should point out) was the "Air" rip (I believe Knurek ripped it). I took the NWA files and compared them with the Dreamcast ADXs (the ADXs were like, 11 khz... Blah) and based my loop points off of those. Again, I was going to upload the OGGs, but they're on the flash drive I forgot to bring. Also, since Air's loop points are stored in the INF file, they were fairly easy to convert. Only 4 files (01, 15, 24, and 26, IIRC) couldn't be looped with that, as they either required a modified WAV file, or they contained extra data. On that note, 24 was really easy to do, since it contained all the data I needed. I simply copied the loop point from the ADX (well, Audacity converted the sample count (how loops are stored) from 11 khz to 44 khz for me) and as near as I could tell, it fit perfectly.

Anyway, since I have (finally!!) successfully looped some files to ADX, I might be able to do some more. But I'll have to wait. It's somewhat time consuming, and I got bored.

That reminds me. In regards to writing a program that finds loop points, it occured to me. Couldn't someone write a program that converts a sound file (WAV) into a picture of the waveform? I figure that should be easy (I'm sure there's plenty of resources that can do that). Once you have it in a picture form, use some method to compare the picture to itself and find where sections contain similarities. Ideally, if the program in question creates a high enough resolution picture, and can compare the picture accurately enough, it should be able to find the loop points. From there, it'd be "x pixels = samples" to deduce the actual sample count needed for the loop.

I know HCS was researching various ideas for an auto-loop-finder, but I don't know how far he got with it. Maybe that idea would be useful? Mouser X over and out.
by hcs at 12:37 PM EST on November 10, 2008
One of the things I was researching with loop detection was seam finding for pictures (to auto-join parts of a panorama), actually. Didn't get anywhere with it.
Great(?) minds think alike! by Yoshinkeru at 4:32 PM EST on November 10, 2008
If this is the same thing I've been thinking of, then great! I've been wondering for a long time if it were possible to write a program that would automatically detect a loop point in an audio file.

I'll say it once more: I'M NO PROGRAMMER (it seems), so I couldn't do something like this myself if I tried!
by hcs at 4:48 PM EST on November 10, 2008
If you have to learn programming, the best way is to have a particular application in mind. This would be a good way to learn while figuring out why all the naive solutions don't work too well :)

by Mouser X at 1:47 AM EST on November 12, 2008
I was able to upload the BAT files for the Tetrisphere loops for those who want them. If you want to convert Tetrisphere into a looping format (ADX/OGG), simply use Winamp to write the USF to the disk as a WAV, and use an editor to remove data after the end loop (look in the BAT file(s) to find the end loops). For the batch files and a sample LOGG, go here. I also uploaded the Air NWAINFO.INI file (I added a few loops, due to the fact that the Dreamcast's ADXs have loops. Realistically though, the original INI file is just fine. Mostly it's just end-to-end looping), along with 4 LOGGs (end-to-end looping didn't work for those 4). If anyone is interested, go here.

Last, please feel free to listen to these with a critical ear and let me know if you can come up with better loop points. However, I would like to note that in the case of Tetrisphere, listen to the original USFs first. They have problems at their loop points, which is mirrored in my files. Nonetheless, I'm open to suggestions for improvement. Please enjoy! Mouser X over and out.

I finally got around to seeing Branded to Kill, the film that got director Suzuki Seijun fired. If I may relate a single scene:
The main character, a hitman (currently No. 2 in the ranking), is terrified about his inevitable clash with No. 1 the next day. As he is leaning out a window, a balloon floats by, and he catches it. Shortly thereafter he decides "I will be Number 1!"
Where in another film there would be a training montage, here he bats the balloon around his apartment for a few minutes.

I've spent three full days working on my Genesis 1 S-video mod. This is the first time I've ever soldered and seriously worked with electronics.

The composite video and stereo were working, but that was nothing compared to bulding two amplifiers for the luminance and chrominance signals of S-video. It's a mess. Initially I had a nice (occasional) black and white picture from the S-video. That's as good as it ever got. Now I can't get any S-video video. The composite is all red for some reason, even with the official cable.

more generally (for non-powers-of-two, assuming integer division):

Last night I finally did something I've been wanting to do for years... I cleaned up my SPC collection. Whenever I hop on the SNESmusic torrent, I copy the old directory to a new location, so that my files can maintain their original file date (when they were first downloaded. As a torrent, these files are edited, even if they don't need to be). Using Beyond Compare and Duplicate Files Finder, I was able to free up over 500 MB... I've been copying my SPC folder pretty much since 2005, so I had a lot of duplicate SPCs. Now, although I still have many duplicates, I've been able to those down to a manageable number. The worst part about it is that I stayed up until about 9 am working on it... Yay @ me for having SPC sets that date back to 2003 with no modification (excluding the removal of the EXE header).

Obviously, not many people care about this. But I like my file dates, so I'm willing to put up the HDD space (or the work to remove duplicates) to maintain them. Mouser X over and out.

I finally got Spore installed on my computer. I played it for at *least* ten hours straight, clear through the night... Now I have to go to work in about 1 hour. :( @ no sleep.

On that note, I must say, I had a lot of fun with the game. The sad part is, I'd probably still be playing, but it crashed. The computer it's installed on is running Vista, and I haven't put forth any effort whatsoever to get it running reasonably well. In truth, I was sort of expecting it to crash a few hours sooner than it did.... And for those wondering, no, I didn't "beat" the game. I was in the "Space" stage though.

Now I just need to get a CD tool (like Daemon or Alcohol) installed in Vista so that I can install the "Cute and Creepy" stuff. Though, more important than that is working on my homework... Which is another reason I played it through (mostly) all at once. I knew that I wouldn't have a chance to play it later due to the amount of homework I have.

In short - those who haven't tried Spore yet need to do so. It's a great game. Mouser X over and out.

Unfortunately my version is a lower quality audio version or something because Falcom is dumb, and all the WAVs are 22.05 kHz. From what I can understand from online readings and the registry entry "DirectSound high reso," originally there was a version of the game that had 44.1 kHz WAVs. Grr.

Something I've been doing while bored in class:

Most Konami sound drivers from 1987 onwards possibly all the way until the YM2151's retirement on
Konami boards all use a similar format.

When the CPU boots, several initialization functions are booted. If the program detects an error,
it will usually begin outputting beeps. Otherwise, it will proceed to a loop which will periodically
flip interrupts on, execute two nops, and disable them to update the sequencer.

To get music playing, a sound command arrives on the latch and goes through a case switch. If it
is within a certain mask (such as 0x80 or higher) then the program usually adds a certain number
to that sound code and adds the result to the sequence base. This results along with a callback
function are fed to a track initializer and the sequence begins to play.

Each driver uses special sequencer commands. To get the actual command, XOR the command in the sequencer with 0xe0.

Known commands are:
0x00 xx - set precussion mode. 0 = melodic, 1 = kit 1, 2 = kit 2
0x01 xx - delay for xx ticks
0x02 xx - set patch to xx
0x03 xx - set channel volume. 0 = loudest.
0x0f 0x - set panning. 0 = disable, 1 = left, 2 = right, 3 = center

Here is what I was able to get out of the driver when patching stuff.

by Mouser X at 2:45 PM EST on February 7, 2009
I've been playing Spore when the opportunity presents itself. As such, I've been thinking "What can I build in their editor?" So far, I've made a dragon (there's a few already made, but none of them are quite what I think of when I think of a dragon), and the Delphinus, from Skies of Arcadia (here's a picture from the game). Perhaps I'll put up a picture of them at some point, but I thought the Delphinus turned out very well. My three biggest disappointments with it would be that the nose isn't right (it wasn't worth the parts/effort), the paint job is so-so (I have very little control over the textures after all), and by the time I finished constructing it, I didn't have enough "complexity" left over to put in the cannons. Still though, it was fun. Sadly, at least as near as I could tell, when using the ship (I built in in the spaceship editor) in-game, they use a lower-poly model that doesn't have animations. As such, the propellers on the back (they're stacked on top of each other in the editor, because in Skies of Arcadia they come in columns) don't spin, but they're also smashed up against each other. There might be a way to fix this, but I haven't looked into it at all.

Secondly, I wanted to link to this video. It's a lawn-mowing robot. It can even cut designs ("crop-circles") into the grass. I wouldn't mind having one, but it looks like it's extremely slow moving....

Anyway, perhaps when I get more time I'll try and make the Little Jack later. It'd be interesting, I'm sure. Mouser X over and out.

Won a four hour game of Monopoly, and I NEVER win at Monopoly. Epic.

I am borking around with M1 a bit more since I finally got it to start compiling again. Hopefully I'll have Hexion working within the next few days, but the banking is annoying. Meh.

Same here just spent a half term (1 week), doing things like playing on my ocarina etc, instead of computing coursework. Hindsight is brilliant.

Here is a conversion of a certain track to use VRC7, however note timings are not correct and it sucks anyways. Don't trust it.

So I've been busy with homework this last week. And now I'm getting over a cold/headache for staying up so late (working on homework. Honestly, I was). Over the weekend though, I finally played Spore some more. However, I realized that I had named my save-game rather poorly. In an attempt to find a way to rename my homeworld (the game won't let you use the "rename planet <name goes here>" command on your homeworld/save-games), I discovered that there's a modding community in existence for Spore. There's some nifty things going on in that front.

The thing that caught my attention though, is that someone discovered a way to create cybernetic creatures. By fiddling with Spore's currently active memory, you can "freeze" memory values. Doing this allows you to load your creatures into the vehicles/buildings editor, stick stuff on them, save it, then load it back into the creature creator and go from there. The problem with this is that you can't use your new creature in the "Creature Phase" (without more "memory management"), and once saved, you can't edit/alter/load your creature (again, without more "memory management").

However, the biggest reason this interests me the most, is because I want to create a race of robotic type creatures who live on a planet named "DeLor." After all, if we're called "Earthlings" then someone living on DeLor would be called...? DeLorians.... :P Yah, I have to much fun with that one. I think I'm going to attempt to create a Flux Capacitor for them as well....

On a completely different note, I was on the bus coming home from my classes today. Someone, who is a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog (he likes the movie. I downloaded it (perhaps this goes to show some of my fandom?), but I haven't seen it), rode next to me. Let me put it this way: he validated pretty much all of my misgivings about fan-made content.... Especially movies/animations. His iPod was full of these poorly animated shows, most of which weren't very creative. It was an interesting ride home.... Luckily, I was able to steer the conversation a little, by going into a discussion about video conversion and quality and whatnot.

So, interesting week for me, last week. This week is looking a little better. Mouser X over and out.
