I have just finished removing the bulk of the graphics stuff (although i fear there is still some lurking around) and got it working with 64th Note.
However due to me not writing down the music select variable offset, i cant rip it right now.
however i have made a sample usf which works fine with winamp (for me anyway).
Bomberman Hero Sample: bombhero.zip
I might have a preliminary set ready tommorow or so the if nothing goes wrong with it :)
Finally, the first non-hcs rip in a while! w00t!
I look forward to hearing the rest of it.
But im downloading IDA and try to get it done (and overshoot my student monthly download limit) and see what i can do from here (at uni).
That isn't the source to the executable referred to in my walkthrough, I tend to change it a lot (actually I'm not even sure if this source works anymore, I tried to make some mods for DK64 and CBFD), but that's all I have.
Its done and i sent it to you :)
sparse02: 15 - Zip
sparse03: 03 - Redial
sparse04: 06 - Cell
sparse05: 05 - Oropharynx
sparse06: 01 - Foehn
sparse07: 02 - Supplement
sparse08: 07 - Dessert
sparse09: 04 - Monogenic
sparse0a: 08 - Realtor
sparse0b: 09 - Fatidic
sparse0c: 10 - Wok
sparse0d: 11 - Mimesis
sparse0e: 12 - Tripod
sparse0f: 13 - Spiral
sparse10: 14 - Landlord
sparse11: 16 - Milky
sparse18: 17 - Beak
so all that's missing is 18 - Ooze (wherein a female voice says "the game is over") and 19 - Loom which sounds like an arranged track anyway.
Something working and seemingly bug free at 10:23 PM. I also rewrote some other stuff while I was at it...

and now seemingly usable at 11:00 PM. You have 1 day from the time you posted to make changes.
edited 11:00 PM EDT August 17, 2005
But i am still removing code and stuff in it so, it might work after i finish.
But 19-Loom?
When i went through looking for the track list i didn't find any others. See, the first 2 (sparse 0 and 1) are empty, 2-20 are the music, 21-23? are empty and anything over that crashes.
But just to keep what is left of my sanity i will go over it again. Loom might not be in it after all as you said, so getting that in it might be a bit hard.
I'll get back to you on that.
Nice work hcs.

I'd tried my hand at this before but it beat my brain into submission. Hearing it now I can see it would have been worth some more work, very cool tracks on here.
And your concern with sparse06... it sounds to me like that's how it's intended. Then again I thought the same about Body Harvest (which still needs tagging...) when instruments dropped out randomly.
[edit]
And here are the tracks off to OST:
01. Nintendo logo (missing)
02. Yoshi Story (16)
03. Yoshi's Song (01)
04. Yoshi at the Beach (03)
05. Yoshi Curry (04)
06. Yo-Yo Yoshi (08,0d)
07. Yoshi on the Wind (05)
08. Yoshi on the Tower (10)
09. Alpine Yoshi Music (09)
10. Come Again Yoshi (07)
11. Jungle Yoshi Fever (06)
12. Yoshi on the Bottom of the Sea (0c)
13. Penguin Yoshi Athletic (09)
14. They are a Little Strong (0e)
15. Double Master Minibon (0f)

17. First Page (17)
18. Closed Two Pages (18)
19. Three Pages of Clouds (19)
20. Four Pages of Jungle (1a)
21. Five Pages of Ocean (1b)
22. The Last Six Pages (1c)
23. Thirty Fruits (28)
24. Feeling of Yoshi (26)
25. Become a little bit happier (29)
26. Enter Boss' Room (2a)
27. Appearance of the Boss (2b)
28. Fighting the Boss (2c)
29. Yoshi Wins (37)
30. Yoshi's Disco (33)
31. Baby Koopa's Castle (0a)
32. The Mystery of Baby Koopa's Castle (36)
33. Appearance of Baby Koopa (2d)
34. Fight with Baby Koopa (2f)
35. Counterattack from Baby Koopa (30)
36. Yoshi Beats Baby Koopa (39)
37. Baby Koopa Runs Away (3a)
38. Yoshi's Happiness (38)
39. Let's Try (27)
40. Look for Seven Melons (11)
41. Goal!! (12)
42. Seven Melons (13)
43. Fell Down (1f,20,21)
44. Nobody (22) (missing bell thingy from OST)
45. Thank You White Hey Ho (23)
46. Yoshi's Room (24)
47. What is Option (25)
48. Yoshi's Talk (31)
49. Yoshi's Stuff (32)
50. Yoshi't Stuffed Voice (missing, some guy talking over a remix of the main theme)
That leaves 13 tracks unaccounted for, though I'm sure you'll find more duplicates like 6 and 43 if you look hard enough.
edited 3:41 AM EDT August 23, 2005
I have some tags for you. Just for the record, there were 12 tracks that hcs could not identify. (There are 63 tracks, hcs identified 50, but there were two tracks marked for sparse09.usf.) So, I have identified 11 of those tracks, and I think that most of them are pieces and parts of other tracks in the set.
Correction:
0B - Alpine Yoshi Music (Not 09)
Tags:
02 - Yoshi on the Bottom of the Sea (DUPLICATE)
14 - Turning to next page
1D - Turning to next page (DUPLICATE)
1E - Carried away by Toadies (Sound Effects)
2E - *I have no clue* (Unused?)
34 - Thirty fruits (Chime)
35 - Thirty fruits (Shorter)
3B - Carried away by Toadies
3C - Thirty fruits (Shorter Chime)
3D - Enter Boss' Room (Shorter)
3E - Yoshi Wins (Shorter)
3F - Thirty fruits (Shortest)
Also, I know hcs gave you track names (I even used his track names in my tags), but I found a site that has translated the track names a little bit differently. (Not that I am saying that hcs' track names are bad, but here is another tagging help for you.)
http://www.chudahs-corner.com/soundtracks/pccg00438.html
I am absolutely positive that sparse06 is correct. It does sound strange, I do hate it, I don't know what they were thinking when they wrote it, etc. But, it is right.
Also, I agree that the Nintendo logo is missing, but track 50 of the OST is a bonus track and therefore should not be music that you will find in the game. I may be wrong, but it seems like that is how it is.
Thanks again for this great USF set.
edited 1:15 PM EDT August 23, 2005
AAAHHHHHHHGGGG!!!
It took me forever to get that removed!!!!!
Originally it played at the start of every single song (i started the music at the Nintendo Screen) and it is apparently not part of the actual music code, rather what i think is a Sound SFX.
Another cool thing is that if you play the Nintendo logo at half speed it is really several people saying "Nintendo".
But if you REALLY want it in, i'll add it. Easy to do.

Oh, if it crashes then that'll probally mean that i didn't use my newer code and you should set it to 2 seconds length.

On other news MARIO PARTY 3!!!!
Just now a rip is in progress, though it is taking a long time (131 tracks). Perhaps i can use university resources and do some parallel processing (say 3 pcs @ 3ghz HT per piece)
Well anyway, if you read this before i post again here is a sample rip: Mario Party 3 Sample
Note that this will only run in 64th Note v1.0. I cannot be certain of its effects in other versions.
edited 8:17 PM EDT September 8, 2005
THANK YOU!
Also please inform me if you get any crashes from it. I know i didn't with this rip, and tell me if it was on Initiation, during playing or on Uninitiating.
Thanks.

edited 10:35 PM EDT September 8, 2005
marioman, perhaps there's something else you have running that, unknown to you (until now), conflicts with 64th Note (or Winamp in general?). Start from a "clean" install of Winamp (that's what I did to find out what my problem was). Actually, I didn't start with a clean install... I just renamed my plugins folder (making Winamp lose track of it), created a new plugins folder (and of course included the bare minimum to run Winamp, an output plugin, and in_usf), and started copying groups of plugins in until it stopped working. If that doesn't help, then start closing other programs you have running. Of course, none of this may help, and it may simply be a bug in 64th Note that needs fixing (after all, it did crash on Paper Mario once, for me at least). Just some suggestions on how to find the problem.
Josh W wrote:
If it crashes...um...dont blame me - you are being too negative.
I think he was joking with you. I don't think he ment it. And, if you were joking back, then that's what the "[sarcasm]" fields are for... Yah, it's kind of hard to read into that stuff on the net sometimes.
Anyway, I really like some of this music. Good stuff. Thanks Josh W! You rock! Mouser X over and out.
Ive been playing continous for 25 minutes now. No problems.
I will however go through the rom with a fine toothed comb and remove all non essential code, just as i did with Dk64-but that dont work.
I wonder if my cool musicselect finder method will work for Mario Party 2?
Wait, the last track of it is not there. I swear it was before. Wait, ill look...
No, the last one is nothing - so dont worry.
edited 10:55 PM EDT September 8, 2005
I just meant that if you think it wont work - then it wont.
Interestingly enough, I know for a fact that is true... My brother once, years ago now, overclocked his CPU by quite a bit more than one should, under normal circumstances. I don't remember the percentige increase, but, for its time, it was a fair amount. Anyway, he got it running stably at that speed for like, 3 days. Then, after deciding all was well, he told our dad what he had done. My dad, having worked with computers for about 30 years was like "No way, it can't be done (well, basically that's what his mentality was)." So, my brother took him into his room to show him his computer, and it had crashed. He was never able to overclock it by that amount again... So, stay positive! You'd be surprised how far it can go...
Oh, and, uh, actually, this post was ment for trying out my "quoting" method, to see if bolding the name looked any better... I guess I'll see in a moment. Hopefully you didn't mind this almost pointless post. Mouser X over and out.
[EDIT2] Apparently, I'm stupid. Thanks Josh W for clearing up my poor vision...
[EDIT3] Sorry about my numerous edits... I have a perfectionist strain in me.
edited 11:45 PM EDT September 8, 2005
Anyway, being positive has the inverse affect on me. I have to be negative.
This can be seen when someone tells me that [something] doesn't work. "But Josh, i tried it three times and it says it wont work - fix it!" I walk up to the computer and just look at it. It then works
Magically it works.
Similar to the mouse problem: "Josh the mouse doesn't work - fix it. I say no. Half an hour of complaining i walk into the living room and say "Plug the mouse in" (not knowing that it was the problem). I was left alone for the rest of the night.
Magic.
edited 11:29 PM EDT September 8, 2005
Anyway, that's my observations to this point. And this time, I was listening to a PSF ripped by Caitsith2, not the Super Robot Wars Alpha set. That should be all from me tonight. Mouser X over and out.
One of the things i was thinking about is that when memory ius allocated for 64th Note is that it isnt zerod. This might have not the slightest effect on it though, but it is a good option to consider. If i had the source i could test it, but all we can do now is ponder until hcs finds some miracle solution.
Or it can be my fault causing something that shouldnt happen in 64th Note to be called.
Actually speaking of strange things, i made some modifications to the rippert that allowed me to create another working usf of DK64 (Jungle Japes). Ok cool i thaught, tried it numerous occasions and it worked. Then i took a break, and got something to eat, then i went back and looked at the code and tried the USF again. It didn't work, nomatter what i did. WHY WOULD IT WORK, THEN NOT WORK!!!!. Cause its stupid-thats why.
Interesting theorys.
Josh over and out.
I'm glad thats over

I'm guessing that's just a driver test.
Anyway i have been working on a few routines that have had very good results on finding the MusicSelect values in Roms, which i got the idea when ripping Mario Party 3. Anyway using the same method i have successfully located the routines in Mario Party 2+3, Mortal Kombat 4, Dk64, BombermanHero and Turok 3+Rage Wars.
However i have noticed something strange about the Turoks, is it appears they use Compressed Code, and cause of that i cant rip it - unless i find a clever way of trying to find out how the compressed code is read. I'll leave these to later. Also with Mario Golf, i found a supect location, but when i modify the value to other than what is supposed to be played - nothing happens. I will investigate this further.
MeanWhile.
MORTAL KOMBAT 4!!!
Is available here: Mortal Kombat 4 - Preliminary
Because it seemed to repeat for a long amount of time i set the alist count to 3000. I dont even think that is even enough.
Coming Soon...
Mario Party 2
Almost exactly the same code as Mario Party 3. Just translate the Xrefs.
Josh W. over and out
Im glad thats over
Mortal Kombat 4: great!
and these routines you speak of, just letting you know I'd like to hear 'em
But you already knew this right? ;)
It currently uses only about 50 - 60 % cpu usage on a 333 celeron. :P
edited 9:59 AM EDT September 12, 2005
and these routines you speak of, just letting you know I'd like to hear 'em
However with my routines, all it is a simple cheat-type search - except using Jals.
What it does is trace Jals from specific regions and matches same offsets with different values withing a specified domain from a register (i.e. 0x1 - 0x100 in A0) and excludes all other ones called, and outputs the results to the console - usually with great results. Its how i did mp2,mp3,mk4 I will also try this with some new roms i pilfered.
And i will try and upload the files tomorrow - and check the CD to make sure that it actally works ;)
nd in some tracks the loop points are very noticeable.
Yes, it is very noticable. I might try and re-rip it using an even higher alist value to see if that helps (at least 6000)
From thread: Missing Yoshi's Story Tunes
Yes i had a saved copied of an very early test that i found quite strange when playing the usf before all the intruments/dlists were loaded that had some funky guitars and drums that i should get you to test out for me (i dont know what to look for since i havce do idea what it supposed to sound like)
And i swear that i have found more of what must be library routines that have something to do with __osDevMgr or whatever it is called, because i have come across a thread and other routines that have almost exactly the same code in it from other roms.
And speaking of Mortal Kombat 4, i think that it is an exact port from the PC version since i have found so many string references in it (since when does the N64 use XMS/EMS memory and other dos routines eh????). In my opinion it most certanlly does use streamed music becuase it uses the least amount of CPU time (half that of Super Mario 64 theme - 3% on my Athlon XP 1700)
Oh, and a warning, there's only about 9 MB left on the server right now
Ok, i deleted a few old files that have been replaced by newer versions and probally saved a few MB.
And i should check whether roms have been ripped before i try and do one
edited 8:43 PM EDT September 12, 2005
Bummer...I was so excited about this rip, I couldn't sleep last night, and I have been sitting in front of my computer all day waiting for you to post it. Now, I think that I am going to cry. *sniff*
Just kidding, I will be looking forward to downloading the Mario Party 2 USF set tomorrow. Can't wait. *resets countdown timer*
Thanks.
Does not use generic sequence format.
I did however find over 255 instances of something, so that might be sound data.
0x524e4301
there are 290 instances of that string.
I savestate'd at the title, and an RNC file was present at around 800bb220 in memory.
I doubt this is of any use, but now you're stuck with it.
Is Here
I was going to tag the names in, bu i couldn't backtrace a pointer from the rom (there was a nice big list in the rom) but IDA was bogging down my computer with its analysis (it was using about 700Mb ram)
Also i found a solution that doesn't make the set use _enablecompare (by just removing the code in the rom that uses it
Oh, and the source to my modified music search pj64 code for pj64 is Here
Hmmm, thats about it for now
edited 8:25 PM EDT September 14, 2005
MP2 is up, and I'll look thoroughly at your PJ64 code.
When you say that you were going to tag the names in, does that mean that you have the tags ready? If so, that is great because Mario Party 2 is the only Mario Party game that I can't identify the tracks for. If you have the tags, then the fact that I can't get them won't matter. Otherwise, I hope that there is someone else that can give tags for them. (I am sure there is.)
Thanks again for the Mario Party 2 USF set.
Mario Party 2 - Orange Playlist
and there are a few others I have on queue but haven't completed.
If the names aren't readily available I can tag it based on that.
Thanks for your help.

For anyone who wants to know, there is a sound test in Mario Party 2. It is called the "Music Album" and it is found in the Options Lab. Furthermore, as predicted, you do have to beat Bowser Land before all of the music is available to listen to.

C:\pj64\Interpreter CPU.c(729) : warning C4013: 'cprintf' undefined; assuming extern returning int

Error executing cl.exe.
It doesn't seem like it, because VisualC automatically hides those level of warnings. But the cprintf errors tend to make me think that its prototype cannot be found.
Try adding #include <conio.h> at the top.
No, my sources tell me that there wasn't an OST released for Mario Party 2, was for 3 tho. Infact it was using the music album that i derived the Music Select from
I tried to get a song list from that also, but only what was displayed on the current page was in Ram, and i couldnt backtrace into the rom. Maybe later.
Anyway i have done an analysis of Banjo Tooie and it seems that it doesnt use any of but the basic Library functions (i.e. osSendMessage) but somehow i found the Music Select Function and disabled the graphics by exiting a tread that i somehow found by backtracing osInvalDCache)
BUT, it seems that it is vunerable to the same problem that stops us drom ripping dk64
And i also have found the Music Select Function in Rush 2, and gunna do that later. A also might try Crusin' world.
But not now, cause as of tommorow i will be on vacation for a week or two.

Pj64mod2.rar
I've added an ini file to modify the register and values.
A search is implemented in two sections which are then compared for suspect values.
Press "Numeric 1" to start the first search, then "Numeric 2" to end it (this is done when the music is loaded/started). Then press "4" to start the 2nd search and "2" again to end it.
And after that, if your sure that it isn't being called (the musicselect can be in a loop) you can press "3" to start an exclusion search to remove values that might alread be in the list.
Then sfter your done press "5" to display the results.
Note that i got some strange errors while trying mario party 3, but none on dk64...
Enjoy.

Also I worked on Rouge Squadron, which no emulator seems capable of handling, but I did find a music modifier. No luck ripping it, though.
Both these games use audio by Factor 5.
I identified all the tracks that were in the "Orange Playlist", and timed the first few.
MP2 Some Tags.
There's an M3U playlist in there that puts the named tracks in the right order. On "Orange Playlist", though, the first 4 tracks were joined together. Nothing was missing.

I happen to know that there are two minigames that have music that is only used in that specific game. The two games are Move to the Music, and Toad Bandstand. When you see the names of these games listed below, I have put the actual music names in parentheses. Just because these music names are in a specific order in this list doesn't mean that I know that they match the sparse # on the left. (ex. I do not know that 2C is in fact Toad's Waltz.)
2C, 2D - Toad Bandstand (Toad's Waltz - Flower Waltz)
2E, 2F - Move to the Music (Dancing Star - Rhythm Shakers)
3D - Battle Theme
3F - Board Results
42 - Battle Results
43 - Drum Roll
5E - Mushroom Genie
31, 44, 51, 52, 53, 55, 58, 59, 5C, 60 - Win Minigame
45, 54, 56, 57, 5D - Lose Minigame
Couldn't even guess - 39, 47, 48, 5B
If someone has Mario Party 2 please listen to these tracks and see if you can help us identify them.
Thanks in advance.
[Edit]
Almost forgot. Hcs, when you say that Rush 2049 has a problem, does that mean that it is un-rippable, or does that just mean that it needs a little more work to get it going?

Oh well, maybe it will be possible to rip it later.
Back to Mario Party 2:
sparse31 = Look Away
Might I add that Mario Party 2 was one of the first games I got for the N64?

Man, two weeks with no internet connection sucks. However i was not without a PC, and so i bring back treats. Your two most coveted rips requested by the people.
DONKEY KONG 64!
Is here more confetti falls
I tagged some of them, only those that i could remember.
Man talk about unorthadox. Many many hours and sleep and coffee went into this, only to find out last night there was an easier way. Which leads me to the rip of...
BANJO TOOIE!
Is also here
Straight from my hard drive to your ears.
And i guess i won.
Little hint on how i did it. One this - wait a little before saving.
Hmmm, i kinda forgot about Yoshi's story, but i will still get to it.

Great news!
I should say that I tried to delay the savestate making a bit myself, and that got me a little further but still not to success. It's a competition I'm happy to lose to you!
If you want here's my CBFD notes:

I use these fcns:

return (TLB_ReadMap[in>>12]+(BYTE*)in-N64MEM);
}

Hmmm, i thaught that Grant Kirkhope did Banjo Tooie. But my sources tell me that David Wise did Dk64. But they sound so the same....

edited 8:11 PM EDT October 2, 2005
I moved the rips into the preliminary directory (since there's now only 6 MB left on the server) and I just now changed the links in Josh's first post.
thx hcs.
Now.. its very late... 2 O'clock in the morning.. Iam tired... bye bye :)
edit: What?U have 8 o'clock? omg
edited 8:16 PM EDT October 2, 2005
Really?
The first game i got was goldeneye, this was back in 1999. Then i got Bomberman Hero, then Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong 64, then Mario 64, then Top Gear Overdrive, then Rainbow Six, then Pilot Wings, then Lylat Wars, then Mario Party, then Zelda: OOT, then Perfect dark.
I've never played Banjo Tooie.
I've also ripped a PSF of SouthPark for PSX but got no idea what to do with it. The reverbs a bit strong, but it sounds fine in EPSXE?
edited 8:32 PM EDT October 2, 2005
I do remember that the first N64 game I ever saw (or at least remember seeing) was Ocarina of Time at a friend's house. I remember thinking how cool playing songs on the ocarina to do stuff was.
edited 8:33 PM EDT October 2, 2005
by the way, I cant sleep.
And I think... I maybe cannot tag the sets, because Dk64 and Banjo Tooie are TOOOOOOOOOO big.
I forgot to say: Perfect Dark is forbidden in Germany and I was 15 and get it illegal, imported from Austria.At that time, my english was worther than now (yes WORTHER!).To my luck, the austria version (Pal) has also german language. :)
edited 8:41 PM EDT October 2, 2005
Try to speak german ;)
I just hope, that u could understand that, what wrote.If there are big grammatical mistakes...Iam sorry for that
