Huh. That's rather interesting. I must say, I appreciate the way you so kindly inform me of my mistake, unlike others (names won't be mentioned...) who, when I make a mistaking using info they've actually told me (well, I was present when it was being talked about), tell me to STFU and GET OUT! Yah, I don't like people like that. Which, I must also say, I'm glad that having great success at ripping USF sets hasn't gone to your head, like "other" people...

Anyway, thanks for the correction. I wonder if that means wether or not you (or someone else for that matter) can find the "missing" parts in OoT using a similar method of hacking. Anyway, thanks for your great work. Mouser X over and out.

Try this, since i am not sure what the guitar version sounds like.

But anyway is this one?

Lemme know.
That's it! by Yoshinkeru at 6:38 PM EDT on September 14, 2005
Yep, that's the one! Now get rid of the other instruments, and rip the others, and we'll be in business!

Hmmm, as i suspected.

Well i will have to find out which other songs this occurs in, and i guess i will have to re-release it. Thats gonna take time.

Also i can speed the songs up if anyone thinks they are too slow.

Ha, hilarious! It's great, because ingame you'd rarely get the chance to hear the rock tracks in their entireties (unless you hit pause I guess). Also, there's probably one of these 'rock' arrangements for every different stage music, so I can understand it taking a while. I'm able to list those if you need.

EDIT: also I the song speed sounds perfect.

It seems i found a value to change the music bank to the guitar/drums only but the batchripepr don't like it. So i guess i will have to find something else.


Also, changing the instruments seems to work for every track in the game, so i think it would be better if i knew which ones need to be done rather than do them all.

Right, I believe this is all the tracks which were used for levels. If anyone else can, can they double-check this themselves to help remove error margin? I think that's all of them but it's good being able to have someone verify.

08 Tall Tower.miniusf
09 Alpina Blue.miniusf
10 Come Back To Me.miniusf
11 Jungle Fever.miniusf
12 Yoshi's In The Wind.miniusf
13 Games Of Happiness.miniusf
14 Tough Guys Don't Cry.miniusf (not sure, as this one is used in certain miniboss battles. give it a try anyway)
15 Spider Swing.miniusf
23 Baby Bowser's Lullaby.miniusf
24 The Riddle.miniusf

That said, when you say "seems to work for every track in the game", are you saying that there may be a rock version track for EVERY track?
Waiting... by Yoshinkeru at 6:11 PM EDT on September 28, 2005
Hey, Josh, how far are you in getting those extra tracks? I'm just wondering; hopefully you can find the time to do it, if that's the case. We're still waiting!

ok, i got the guitar things going in 64th Note after changing where i start the tracing (i now start it when the instrument bank is selected rather than...wherever it was before. I forgot.

So right now i am getting the list of ones which i need to rip, hmmm maybe i should do them all for fun since some of them sound weird with only guitar+drums. Perhaps.

Be back soon.

What I don't understand is you're saying you change the instrument bank selected in the code. The thing I don't get is the fact that the 'rock' arrangements aren't just instrumental changes from what I can tell.

For example, in the Yoshi Guitar track, the main guitar line has a few notes in it that that the original instrument didn't. Not to mention all that percussion which sounds like additional sequenced information. The only thing I can think is that the percussion is playing the whole time, but has no instrument selected to play it until you become super happy?

In any case, if it works I shouldn't be questioning it =P It's just pretty interesting to me to know how exactly it's working under the bonnet.
