- I (finally!) have a new hard drive on the way. It will hopefully arrive Wednesday. Because of the new drive, I plan on starting a torrent for the GC streamed sets again. However, I don't know if I'll be torrenting the sets in their compressed form (as they are on HCS's site). If I do torrent them in their compressed form, then the ones I torrent will match the ones on HCS's site. In other words, my torrents will not match snakemeat's torrents (sorry man, but I don't prefer ZIP).
The reason I bring this up, is because I'd appreciate some pointers as to which trackers I should submit to. Preferably trackers that allow more than one tracker on the torrent (to spread out where it's shared at), and that don't require a sign-up. I may have some links, but anything anyone can offer would help. Thanks in advance. Mouser X over and out.

- Since I've postponed going to Borat - Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Khazakstan to tomorrow, I will be working on a DSP packer tonight, and will stop work to capture Bleach for Rattleman.
Yes, I will also be integrating support of this for in_cube :)

- You have a certain dilema:
If you leave them uncompressed, people are more likely to be able to help seed the sets, since they will have the files handy on their drives for listening purposes. (this is true for me.)
If you do compress them download times will be a bit less since the number of MBs will be lower...

- I was thinking about this, and chances are that I'll seed both. More accurately, once I've downloaded the compressed sets off of HCS's site, it's fairly unlikely that I'll be deleting the archived files. As such, I'll have the archives, and the uncompressed files, on my PC. That is, until I burn a DVD of the archived files. So, until I burn a DVD of the archived files, I'll probably seed both files, and the archives.
However, no one has recommended torrent sites yet. Perhaps you'd be more inclined to do so on IRC? Mouser X over and out.

- Sounds good man, but to be fair Connie started the GC torrent not me. I just want to give credit where due.
Been building a new machine lately, and my mIRC is jacked up, but I should see you guys in #usf soon.
I wish I could help you with public trackers, I just don't know any :( My experience with people who don't remotely give back what they take has soured the public tracker in my eyes.
- Good news by unknownfile at 11:12 PM EST on December 1, 2006
- I was sitting around and thought about helping out. So, I am going to see if I can get Sea running a (semi) dedicated BitTorrent seeding service. It's currently equipped with around 100 GB of space (over two IDE drives), and my extra internet line has been collecting dust, so it seemed natural to get it back up and running.
Now all that remains is a tracker, I guess.

- Can't tell if your Gamecube disk has streaming audio or not? Here's how:
Insert (or "set") your disk, and power on. Once music starts playing, open the top. If the music is streamed, the game will most likely tell you "Disk Error", otherwise the game will just continue. Beware, as some games (eg Zelda WW) use both types of music formats.
Also, fish.

- Found some stuff on THP audio, and noticed similarities with AFC. the source is here.
Here's part of the code reworked for in_cube:
int AFCdecodesample (char *stuff) {
long input;
// this code taken from the THP documentationthing
if (initialized == 0) {
input = ( *stuff >> 4) & 7;
input = input & 0xf;
input++;
blockcount=2;
} else {
if ((blockcount & 0xf)==0) {
input = ( *stuff >> 4) & 7;
input = input & 0xf;
input++;
blockcount+=2;
}
if((blockcount & 1) != 0) {
input=(input << 28) & 0xf0000000;
input=input >> 28;
++input;
} else {
input = (input << 24) & 0xf0000000;
input = input >> 28;
}
blockcount++;
}
return input;
}

- Someone (snes_rocks)came into #usf today, and asked about the streamed sets. I'm currently setting up the files on my PC. Once I get that taken care of, I'll setup the torrents. Though, due to time constraints (job, Zelda: TP), don't hold your breath on that.
On that note, can anyone think of a good tracker I could use? I plan on submitting it to multiple trackers to increase seeds and availability. However, I'd like a smallish tracker (like the HCS tracker, hint hint HCS) to keep all of the files together. That way, I can have a centralized place for people to link to, if they're interested in more, and can't find them on the tracker sites they search.
Anyway, I think I'm pretty close to done with Zelda, so I might be able to have some results for streamed stuff in about a week (I say that, so hope for 2... I've never been very good with a schedule). Of course, as I said, that's if I'm close to done with Zelda (and I have the time to finish it).
Hopefully that small update is useful news to people who were interested. Mouser X over and out.
