Posted on 08-23-12 11:28:30 AM, in Mystical Ninja 64 Starring Goemon Map Select/Debug Link
A few years a go, Cendamos created a code for the US version of Mystical Ninja 64 that allows you to access the map select for Mystical Ninja 64. I don't recall anyone ever bringing this up on the site, but since this is one of my favorite games, I decided to bring it up here just in case.

Press L to enable Debug Mode

You can use the map select at many point in the game, but you should bring up the menu when you're in game controlling a character since doing so outside of the main game will kill your character immediately after warping to the area you want. You navigate the menu by using the digital pad. Some map jump values crash the game and some sections don't seem to bring you anywhere (like GOETEAM). Maybe someone who's more familiar with this game can find neat stuff with this.

The ROM has a lot of strings that hint at more debug stuff. There was a video of a prerelease version of the game with some debugging things enabled (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfzZL8WwoQs), although I don't recall if any of the strings from the video exist the rom.

Not sure if this is topic worthy so I'm just posting it here for now.

Some details on the Earthworm Jim 2 SNES prototype:

1.) The game isn't working completely. The game crashes upon loading a level.
2.) The title music plays at the Nintendo logo, causing the accordion and other instrument samples to clip. In the final version, the music plays once the Shiny logo appears.
3.) The "Splat" SFX is missing when the Press Start and Options text appears.
4.) The Press Start and Options text is slightly off center.

Besides what can be seen by loading the game, here are some differences that can be seen looking at the ROM:

5.) The original dump still has copier information at the beginning of the ROM.
6.) Near the beginning of the ROM at 00001195, credits for the programmer and an address are found. This doesn't exist anywhere in the final ROM: "Program by Nicholas Jones Program Director of Shiny Entertainment. All enquiries:- 1088 North Coast Highway, Laguna Beach. CA 92651-1338 U.S.A Tel No. (714) 494 0772 Fax No. (714) 494 7673".
7.) In the level select/debug screen, the prototype has the word "S N E A K E R S !" where the date of the rom should be. This might indicate that the rom build was a preview copy. The final has "31ST. AUGUST 1995".
8.) The game mistakenly calls Lorenzen's Soil (named after the designer Mark Lorenzen) Lorenzon's Soil in the level select screen. Likewise, the credit for Mark is also misspelled. The level name on the title card is spelled "Lorenzo's Soil". However, one of the references for the level name is spelled correctly in the prototype, but I don't know where it's used.
9.) The title card calls the Puppy Love levels "Puppy Love 1/2/3", the final says "Puppy Love Part 1/2/3".
10.) The prototype has strings for the title cards "Carnival", "Chicken Head", "BREAKOUT", three strings for "ISO 9660"*, and "Cathedral". The final version doesn't have these strings. The prototype is also missing the strings "Door Chase" and "See Jim Run, Run Jim Run".
11.) The prototype has the string "Winner" instead of "You Did It" from the final, I don't remember where this string is used (I think the ending screen?).
12.) Hard to tell but I think the staff credits are missing a name or two.
13.) The prototype has the string "GROOVEY WOOVEY! You made it!". No idea where this would be used, but it comes between the strings for the Continue? screen and the Game Over! screen.
14.) Some of the quiz show answers are different (ex: Proto - "A secret move for Jim", Final - "A secret Jim move"), I don't think the questions themselves are different.

I wish someone could fix the rom up so the levels would load. I would love to see the differences in this game.

*Fun fact: The final name is "ISO 9000", which according to Wikipedia means "family of standards is related to quality management systems and designed to help organizations ensure that they meet the needs of customers and other stakeholders [1] while meeting statutory and regulatory requirements related to the product". The prototype's "ISO 9660" is CDFS, a file system for optical media. Interesting.

(I also checked EJW1's prototype, it's almost byte for byte identical to the GamesMaster special edition except for one byte change).

Pretty sure that'd be the 90s console scene group "Sneakers", so your theory about it being a preview copy might be correct. A lot of preview/review copies of other SNES games were spread around the console warez scene at that time, though they were usually pretty much identical to the final builds.


Heh, I just realized the rom itself was from way back when. I think their releases were under the name SNK. I tried searching through some archives of old BBS releases but couldn't find anything for EWJ2. I did find a BETA2FINAL patch for the first game though, and apparently SNK also released a prototype for that too. The patch is huge, so I don't think it's meant for the Gamesmasters prototype (since all that has is one byte difference) - maybe a different release all together. But I couldn't find anything for that either.

I don't know how one could go about fixing the ROM. One thing I would try is find a way to bring up the super cheat menu at start up like the GamesMaster version of EWJ1 can. I doubt any of the areas would work, but we could at least listen to the SFX and stuff.

BSNES debugger does this repeatedly when the level tries to load, anyone know what it means?

Woohoo, I got it working. I just used Earthworm Jim 2 (Beta) [o1+C] instead and now it works fine. The music overlaps the sound in the beginning but it doesn't clip, and the splat sfx is still there. But there were just a tiny bit of differences I noticed during a quick play through:

1.) The Continue markers are all using the Megadrive version's graphics (he doesn't say "Funky" when you touch it either).
2.) If Granny lands on you and causes you to fall down the stairs, no damage is taken (is this part of a difficulty setting?).
3.) The palette for the bumpers in Villi People are messed up.
4.) Most levels after Villi People have corrupt graphics
5.) The dirt's graphics don't change when you shoot in Lorenzen's Soil.
6.) The snot walls that come flying at you in The Flyin King don't exist (is this part of a difficulty setting?)
7.) The cheat code combinations are all different I think. I couldn't figure out the one that brings up the super cheat menu.
8.) In Lorenzen's Soil, the fire ants carry tea cups instead of babies (wtf).
9.) I noticed some sound effects that were missing, can't remember any off the top of my head though.
10.) "Cathedral" (See Jim Run Run Jim Run) is probably the most unfinished, Psycrow is no where to be seen and most of the hazards haven't been implemented. Psycrow does appear if you go into map view mode and then come back out of it, though. The floating spheres don't circle around the platform (they just bob up and down). Princess isn't sitting on the chair and walking to her just ends the level with a "well done". I don't know if the ending has been implemented or not though, since I used the level cheat codes (they still work by the way) and using them causes the level to revert back to the next level that would've followed the current level you skipped from if you hadn't used the cheat.
11.) Map view mode can be toggled by pressing B 7 times while paused. I still can't seem to figure out how to go into the super cheat screen.

Note that it's been a long time since I played this game and I might be getting things mixed up. I also primarily grew up with the MD version of the game. I also don't know if it's the rom itself that is causing some of the glitchy graphics sometimes, but it shouldn't be the emulator (I was using BSNES). But for the most part, this prototype seems close to final.

Someone might want to comb through it though to make sure I didn't confuse anything.

Posted on 02-06-13 11:10:09 PM, in Dark Souls debugger (in PC version)? Link
Not sure if this is topic worthy, but I just wanted to bring it up in case anyone was a hard core fan of the game.

Someone is planning on releasing a review/debug enabled copy of the 360 version soon, and he posted a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xvku-36Fq0M) of it not too long a go. Just for the heck of it, I searched for some of the strings in the PC version (DATA.EXE) and found pretty much every string from the debugger. I'm curious if maybe there's a possibility it can still be activated in the PC version?

Here are some strings from the .exe.

I looked around to see if anyone had made it show up but I couldn't find anything.

In the Rockman Dash PSP port, ST1E.BIN has a lot of source code fragments and some other garbage that's not supposed to be there. As far as I know, this is the only file in the port that has these fragments. It even has symbols and even some raw assembly code.

Posted on 08-02-13 03:04:22 PM, in Star Fox Adventures E3 2002 prototype (5/17/02) (last edited by koolaidman at 08-07-13 05:20:19 AM) Link
Download here.

I was wondering if I should make a topic about this. This is definitely a prototype of the game and has significant differences judging by what I can see in the disc image. But I can't get it to work with Dolphin (causes a crash while trying to play the video at the title screen). I decided to make it it's own topic given the game's history.

Here are some things I noticed from looking at the game's disc image:

1.) starfox.thp is different in this game. This is the opening movie that plays when you start the game at the title screen.
2.) Movie file rebirth.thp is included in this version. No idea what it is as I couldn't get it to play in thpplay.
3.) "crap starfox.h4m", zero idea what video this could be. Can't seem to figure out how to play it using the H4M player GCM
4.) BLOCKS.bin, not included in the final version, is a big file and I have no idea what it's here for. There are some references to mod files within.
5.) MUSIC.bin, this doesn't exist in the final either. It's a decently sized file too. I can't find any strings inside.
6.) DLLS.bin, this was referenced in the final version but not included. It exists in this version, and it appears to be something for debugging (it has some strings for debugging various gameplay things). It looks this must be a remnant to one of the mechanics from Dinosaur Planet where you had to watch over 'Kyte':

kyte has enterd an invalid state.... In Seq .... Enable Dis %i . cleaning Up Kyte ..sideCommandEnable error, command number too high.... Removing Distract .kyte startup warning, flight group is zero...Initialising On Flight Group %i . .. Starting On Flight Group %i . .... Kyte Start on anon valid node .error in setting up the curve network...curve %d, flightGroup %d, dir %d....1.) Same as last frame..2.) psuedonode..3.) After psuedonode....4.) Staying on the flight group %i .....setting the flight group to %d..5.) Used route finding..6.) Next node of standard type (flightGroup %d).....7.) Staying on flight Group (even though invalid)...8.) Just taking any old curve...kyte error!, unable to find next curve node from %d!....Extract route failed....Route finding, start %d finish %d...routeFindNode error: couldn't find route between %d %d, return val %d...Node exists in curve network, that isn't Kyte AI, from curvenode %d..... Found Perch ... Found Perch ... Perching %f ...vel %f dir %f ... CURVES MOVE | CURVES MOVE ... Trams .Performing Kyte action .Performing Kyte action . PERCH ::: READ KYTTE PERCH COMMAND .... .. Timer Reset .... LocK Activated ....clearing up.....


In fact the file has zero references to Star Fox and contains a lot of references to Dinosaur Planet. Also has some dialog snippets.

7.) "linklevel" folder exists in the final but has no files, there are files in this version however. It appears to be a map, but I don't know what it could be.
8.) "frontend" is the same deal as "linklevel". So is "musyxbin" which someone on 64DD mentioned before.
9.) There's a copy of "swaphol".
10.) They planned something "exclusive" that you could do at E3:

General Pepper here.....The head honchos at Nintendo....have set up an exclusive....E3 mission for you..Fly down to ThornTail Hollow....where your sidekick dinosaur....Tricky will be waiting for you..Take a good look around and.remember to have fun!!..Pepper out


Although, now that I realize. Some of this stuff has been referenced before on 64DD (http://64dd.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=856&forum=4). But the guy never once stated where he got this information from. Now we know, and hopefully people who are more competent and willing to share information can take a look.

I want to share the stand alone game but my internet's pretty crappy. The image of the game appears to have files to make it a complete game. This was actually included as part of the playable demos from the Multi Game Demo Disc from July 2002, but no one mentioned it until now. I would post a download link but you can find the demo disc somewhere on the internet. But if it's really needed I'll try to throw it up somewhere...

http://www.mediafire.com/watch/gzq9f3sjony5a51/rebirth.mp4

This was what rebirth.thp was. Very short trailer for that weird Rebirth tech demo that Nintendo did. I don't think I ever saw this version of the trailer though. I don't know what 'crap starfox.h4m' could be though since I'm having a tough time trying to get it to play. You can download it here if you want to take a crack at it:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/dm26jn16bjxdsp7/crap_starfox.h4m

Also, I didn't know this but SubDrag already added support in N64SoundTools for AMBIENT, MUSIC, and SFX.bin. I think they just contain samples though. The sequence data for the music might be elsewhere, like in AUDIO or TRACKS.

EDIT: Just for the sake of making sure which files aren't used, I used Dolphin's file monitor to see which files are accessed. I managed to get a little farther in Interpreter. This is what is loaded by the time you get to the title screen and select to play Thorntail Hallow from the game select screen.

DLL often means Dynamically Linked Library, i.e. a chunk of code that gets loaded by another program at runtime. It makes sense if they're only present in a prototype, they'd likely be debug versions, and it's possible the final version would still be able to load and use that file if there's still references to it.


You're right. But there are some things that I noticed.

There are two executables in this version, one that's used in the game image and one that's left in the file system. The one in the file system appears to be a debug version of the executable used in the game. I attempted to load the debug executable by replacing the one that's used with the debug one with gcr. I ran the game with Dolphin and noticed that the game was using OSREPORT to display some debugging logs. However, the executable tried to look for starfox.poo starfox.pro starfox.sdi starfox.sam in /audio which doesn't exist in that directory (but does exist in musyxbin). So I moved those files to the proper place, rebuilt the GCM, and ran the game again. Unfortunately it seemed to hang somewhere after loading some of the files into memory. Check out the console log here. The error is "49:04:680 Src\HW\EXI_DeviceIPL.cpp:284 N[OSREPORT]: GXInitTexObj: width too large in "GXTexture.c" on line 512.". I don't know what it exactly means or how to fix it, though. I'm not sure if DLLS.bin would've loaded if this error hadn't occurred.

The debug executable seems to have more references to DLLS.bin, like loading different "DLLs" from it. However, one thing I noticed was that DLLS.bin and the debug executable share a lot of the same strings for specific things (like the hover bike racing stuff, etc). I threw both the 'retail' and the debug executable in IDA Pro and noticed that there were a lot of strings that didn't seem like they were being referenced by any function even in the debug executable. Obviously DLLS.bin contains code in itself, but I'm not sure what processor instruction set it's using. I tried PPC with IDA Pro and it didn't seem to work at all (it treated everything as data rather than code). Then I used mipsr (which I think is what IDA Pro's N64 loader uses) and it seemed to work, it didn't confuse what appeared to be data with code to me. But I know that without the base address for the file, the code would probably not make any sense. So I just used IDA Pro to try and manually get all the strings from the file. Like I said before, nothing seems to jump out and say either or not the file is meant for N64 or GC systems. But someone else should take a look and see if there's anything interesting.

Here are the strings I managed to pull out from DLLS.bin.

You can download DLLS.bin here if you wanna check it out for yourself.

Also, here's the download link the stand alone gcm of the demo.

As far as I know English is the only language in this build. I changed the regions of the disc image and the language was still English.

Also I figured out a way to get the game to load in Dolphin. Play in Single Core mode and untick Use Panic Handlers. I got dual core to work sometimes, but I don’t know what I did. But Single Core seems to be a safe bet. However, you’re going to want to delete all the .txt files that are generated from the shader errors under the User/Dump directory or else your hard drive will be filled within the hour. The game has always been slow, so you should be fine if you don't mind shoddy performance.

Here are some things I noticed while playing the game for a little bit (prepare for a big post).

The title screen graphics are a little bit different.
Demo vs Final

When you create a new game save, the game will ask if you want to play either the full game (start from the beginning), Thorntail Hallow, Ice Mountain, or one of the Arwing missions (I don’t know which one it is though).

When you start the game from the beginning, one thing I noticed was that the prelude text doesn’t appear. It could be an emulation bug though. Everyone still speaks in that pseudo language.

Now for some more Dinosaur Planet stuff:
TEX.bin contains textures from Dinosaur Planet. The file isn’t compressed and you can view everything raw with something like Tile Molester, without the correct palettes of course. The first few 1000 bytes might have some information about the textures. If you want to check out the file for yourself, you can grab it here.

As I said before the audio for Dinosaur Planet still exists in this version. I converted the audio using N64 Sound Tool so that you can listen to them. Note though, most don’t play at the correct frequency rate. I included the original files in case you want to take a crack at it.

SFX.bin – Contains the SFX and voice clips for the cut scenes. Had to half the sample rate so that you can actually listen to most of the clips.
MUSIC.bin – Contains instrument samples for the music. Should be mostly right.
AMBIENT.bin – Contains ambient sounds for the environment.

LEVELNAMES.bin contain level names for Dinosaur Planet. Not sure if the formatting is correct since it wasn’t a plain text file:

Now for something different:
Gametext requested is not there..Have you xdiffed gametext.spec with the sequence guy's gametext.spec?.This message is very long,.designed to annoy you.If you want this message to go then get the correct gametext.Look, .......pretty buttons..Still here?..I would of thought that you would have reset the subtitles by now...GO AWAY!!.............

I actually saw this in the final’s GAMETEXT.bin too but I thought it was worth mentioning. GAMETEXT.bin also contains some Dinosaur Planet strings but it’s a mixture of that and StarFox.
Now for something REALLY different:
HI, I'M TT.. .YOU CAN ASK ME.ABOUT YOUR GAME.STATUS OR SELECT.MY TIME TRIAL MODE.TO PRACTICE A.LEVEL.. .I CAN ALSO SAVE.YOUR BEST GHOSTS.

From Diddy Kong Racing. FRONTTEXT.bin seems to have nothing but Diddy Kong Racing strings in different languages.

Also, the stuff in the pastebin helps verify and fill in gaps on the stuff Rareminion has shown.


Yeah, it seems that INCLUDE.bin is actually older than DLLS.bin by maybe more than a year. The number of bytes the "out" log says for INCLUDE.bin is the same as the number of bytes the file has now. But the DLLS.bin file mentioned in the log is significantly smaller than the file that's included here. So that means that the "out" log file was generated a long time a go before this build was put together. Although some things have changed, some things haven't like TEX.BIN. I'm curious when exactly development stopped for the N64 version before it shifted to the Gamecube. I think it was present for E3 2000 wasn't it? And Starfox Adventures was there for the first time at Spaceworld the following year?

Samples of what IDA Pro's giving me? You can check out a subroutine it thinks it managed to disassembled here. Again though, it's probably incorrect because this is assuming the base address is 00000000, which is probably unlikely.

In fact, most of the code generated seems to be incorrect. Like for example, this is what it thinks the beginning of the file is doing:

I don't know any MIPS assembly, so someone else will have to look at DLLS.bin. I doubt the code is obfuscated though.

Anyway, DLLSIMPORTTAB.bin seems to have a list of addresses. But I'm not sure if they're for DLLS.bin. They would've been generated at the same time DLLS.bin was so they should go together. The debug executable loads up DLLSIMPO.bin but it's zero'd out (and just a bit smaller than DLLSIMPORTTAB.bin). I still have no idea what the .tab files are supposed to be.

Forgot to mention this before, but the game has a stray .bat file for removing .changed files and copying over .BIN files. Probably a leftover from something old:

STORYBOARD.bin intrigues me. DLLS.bin has a string that tells the debugger to refer to this after a string that refers to angles and camera control. This was probably used for cutscenes. "out" log refers to this file as one of the ones from 1999 and haven't been changed since then by comparing the bytes of the file that's included and the file listed in the log. But the file seems to be compressed with something perhaps, since I can't get any strings from it.

Also, I'm gonna see if I can get some of the maps loaded that seem interesting like "linklevel" and that copy of swaphol. gcr should help since I can rebuild gcm files that way.

Haven't gotten around to playing the game yet. I want to get the Dolphin developers to see if maybe they can see what's wrong first.

In the meanwhile, here's something.

Star Fox Adventures uses MusyX for sound and music playback. The musyxbin directory contains the output of MUCONV tool that's included in the MusyX SDK.

According to the documentation for the tool:

.proj Project data. This file contains the actual structure of
the converted project.
.pool Pool data. Contains macros and tables needed by the
converted project.
.sdir Sample directory. A file which contains a “directory”
describing all of the samples used in the project. Does
not contain sample data.
.samp Sample data.
Note that song files do not use the basename. These files use the
names assigned by their composers and have a .song extension.


These five different kinds of files are still in the folder, but for some reason someone decided to trim the last letter of each file extension. So instead of .pool, the game's version of the file is .poo for example (lol).

Also generated is a header file that allows the programmer to implement the music/sound data into the game.

All the data is "trimmed and compressed" so that it's optimized for the Gamecube automatically. They say their format is proprietary, so I don't know what format they compress it in. I have the SDK for MusyX, but I can't find anything to convert the converted data back or tools that can analyze the format (but I understand why that would normally be unnecessary, lol).

I don't know if there's a way to get everything back to a MusyX project file. It'd be nice because that way we can listen to Star Fox's music. For Dinosaur Planet's case though, I have no clue what they use for play back. According to DLLS.bin they use something called AMSEQ/AMSFX.

FWIW, the SDK comes with a converter to convert MIDI to the SONG format.

That code looks pretty coherent.
In fact, most of the code generated seems to be incorrect. Like for example, this is what it thinks the beginning of the file is doing:

ROM:0000006C loc_6C:                                  # DATA XREF: ROM:0006A12Co

ROM:0000006C                                          # ROM:0006ADA8o ...

ROM:0000006C                 dsll    $t6, $zero, 8

...
That looks like it's probably not code. A hex dump would be much more helpful.


Sure, is this what you mean? Here's the hex dump for sub_210000:

Me, my bro, and my friend were working at the assembly for dlls.bin, and it is chocked full of "If 0 == 0 throw soft exception", or using an example from the assembly, teq $0, $0, 0x013 (the first occurrence of it in the code). the 0x013 is supposed to just be ignored by the hardware, though the software can see it. 0x013 is only the first hex used, as the next line is tge $0, $0, 0x015. The hardware would also throw a soft exception, as 0 is greater or equal to 0, and ignore the 0x015 afterwards. Nearly every time teq or tge is used, a hex code follows, the lowest of which being 0x000, I'm not sure what the highest is just yet. My idea is that the software uses these functions to write debug messages, a la printing to the console. The messages themselves would be the strings already found earlier (That link again), offset by the hex after the command. Tomorrow after work, I'll copy the assembly, replacing the error-throwing lines with the debug messages they correlate to, unless somebody starts that sooner.
...Ironically, Rare's own debugging will help us make quicker sense of this file...

TL;DR: The DLLS.BIN file is actually commented already, I just have to put the comments in the right spots in the file before I can start to make sense of all it's doing


Nice, keep us posted. I had a feeling that the debug strings in the file were meant for a console rather than in game. I don't know if the N64 had it's own official way of reporting things like the Gamecube can with OSREPORT, so they would've probably had to have made their own console to debug from.

Also, I submitted an issue report to Dolphin's Google Code to see if maybe it can get fixed. But chances are unlikely since I doubt they'll care. But once they get it fixed it'll be easier to check for differences.

I actually threw up the link in the OP. Here it is again in case you missed it.

I tried Dolphin 3.5, 3.0, and even 2.0 and I still get similar issues. The dual core isn't much of an issue for me, but the bad pixel shader stuff definitely is.

I didn't know about this, but I'm guessing there were stand alone demo discs of every Jak and Daxter game. Does anyone know any details about them? The only information I can get about them is from redump.org. Here are the EXE dates:

1.) Jak & Daxter NTSC-J Demo - 2001-09-20
Jak & Daxter NTSC-U Final - 2001-10-30
Jak & Daxter NTSC-J Final - 2001-11-03

2.) Jak 2 PAL Demo - 2002-07-17 (WTF? Error?)
Jak 2 NTSC-U Demo - 2003-03-04 (Another error? This is pretty early. But more likely)
Jak 2 NTSC-U Final - 2003-08-26
Jak 2 PAL Final - 2003-09-17

3.) Jak 3 PAL Demo - 2004-09-10
Jak 3 NTSC-U Final - 2004-09-30
Jak 3 PAL Final - 2004-10-07

If I recall correctly, there was a NTSC-U demo of the first Jak game, but it was given away for some promo for Cingular Wireless. I don't know if the date is earlier than the NTSC-J demo though. I have no idea what's up with Jak 2. The dates on the demos are extremely early. I can't find an ISO anywhere for any of the demos either.

Does anyone have any of these?

Here's a nice surprise for everyone

I found the sequencing data used in the old versions of the game (possibly everything is from Dinosaur Planet here, not sure yet though). I was even able to convert the sequencing data I found to MIDI!

The sequencing data is stored in AUDIO.bin. I sent an e-mail to SubDrag who might add support for it in N64 MIDI Tool, so let me just quote from that e-mail:

(note some of this information is probably wrong)
Basically what I did was this. Knowing that Diddy Kong Racing and the old Dinosaur Planet should be somewhat similar in certain aspects, and by judging from the debugging strings I found, the audio engine should be somewhat similar to each other. To find out for sure, I wanted to compare data from Dinosaur Planet with raw data that can be extracted from Diddy Kong Racing. For sequencing data in Diddy Kong Racing, I noticed that each sequence data has a header of 000000440000, and the end of the sequence is terminated by FF2F. So with this knowledge, I looked into some of the files that were included in Star Fox Adventures. TRACKS.bin contained nothing (in fact it seems compressed, it's probably a relic from Diddy Kong Racing), and the files you got your sample data from only contained the CTL/TBL (in that order).

So that left AUDIO.bin. The file seems to start with pointers/addresses of some kind, and then at 0xE37C the first sequence data is found. Judging by a quick search with the header value in my Hex Editor, there's 149 pieces of sequencing data in the file. Some perhaps belong to things other than music like ambient sound or sound effects that take advantage of mod or pitch shift.

So as a test I took data from 0xF434 and copied until 0xFBD7 and saved what I copied to a raw file. I took the raw file, opened up Diddy Kong Racing in N64 Midi Tool, went to 00A869B0:000032E8 (since I guess this is the largest sequence of data in the game?), and imported the raw file I created into the rom. Then I exported the data to MIDI, loaded the midi up in FL Studio and...check out the midi file.

The track seems to be based on this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORTHS0Dnb0c&list=PLDA22110536CBFC17


Download what I just got converted here and see for yourself. Like I said, there's more sequencing data to rip. But hopefully SubDrag can streamline the process to make it easier to get everything out.

We can easily get the music out of Dinosaur Planet now. If we can't implement the data that we have in another game and play it that way, what we can do is extract all the sequencing data and convert each to MIDI. Then extract and convert the samples in MUSIC.bin to wavs with the correct loop point, rate, and root key. Then create a quick soundfont with the samples by each program number (in the converted midi for example, Patch 22 are samples with instrument hex number 15 like BANK_00_INSTR_0015_SND_0000 (since there is no MIDI patch 0) which are string samples). Then take the MIDI, chug it into a DAW (like FL Studio), apply your sound font, make sure everything sounds right with some tuning (note that some channels have patch changes in the same channel, so make sure to take care of those), then convert. It's a little bit of work, but it's do-able.

EDIT: Here's another tune. Sound familiar? It's from this.

EDIT2: I'm currently making a quick soundfont. Should take a day or so.

EDIT3: Another surprise, MPEG.BIN isn't actually compressed at all. If you rename it to .MPEG and play it, you'll get 1 hour and 20 minutes of voice audio! Thanks to SubDrag for this find. You can download it here.

EDIT4: Music restoration project has begun. Making nice progress.

First 10 songs made very quickly. Used FL Studio 11 and a custom made soundfont, just added reverb and altered the volume here and there. Samples are from the files that came with the Star Fox Adventures prototype. I'll share the soundfont once I've tested every song with it, but it should be useable if it's able to produce these:

Some of these should sound familiar, especially if you've watched last year's 50 minute gameplay video. These are still works in progress. They don't loop, they still need some work (there might be some inaccuracies on my part), but I figured I'd tease this. There's tons more to restore so stay tuned.

Hey everyone.

Soundtrack project is complete. 92 tracks, lots of music and some ambient stuff. Here are the download links:


>FLAC

>320kbps MP3

This all took about a week to put together. Here's what I did:

1.) I found music sequence headers in AUDIO.bin, a file that only exists in a Star Fox Adventures prototype
2.) Using N64 Sound Tool and MIDI Tool, I was able to extract all the data necessary to recreate the music.
3.) The sequence data was converted to MIDI, while the samples from MUSIC.bin were used to create a soundfont. The MIDI sequences with patch changes were split with a program so that each instrument has it's own channel.
4.) I used FL Studio 11 to quicky add the patches, add some reverb, and fix some volume issues. Very little work here.
5.) When the songs were done, they were rendered in WAV files. The WAV files were then tagged by the order in which they appear in the AUDIO.bin file. The first 8 digits are dedicated to the music number, while the latter 8 digits is the address which the sequence data is located in the file.
6.) There are some gaps, if you look at the music number. There were a lot of sequences that have no sequence data in them. The spots were probably specified in advance for each song so that they could be filled in at a later date.
7.) They don't loop. But they're still decent regardless.

The sound quality is very good. There are some inaccuracies here and there, but they aren't too noticable. The sound quality is surprising, since all the samples were no more than 22khz. It would've sounded a little bit worse coming off of the console, but with accuracy as a price. You'll also notice that there are zero references to Star
Fox Adventures anywhere in the rip. A lot of music that would otherwise be in Star Fox Adventures is not anywhere here. There are a few a songs that are 1:1 with Star Fox
though.

Also, if you'd like to listen to the music by stream, please visit this soundcloud:
http://soundcloud.com/dinosaur-planet-ost-rip

Unfortunately, I reached the limit. So to hear the entire soundtrack, you'll have to download it.

I'd recommend commenting, since track names would be great. I didn't want to provide any, even for the ones that are more obvious for consistancy.

Also as i've mentioned before, I had to create a soundfont to get the project done. It turned out to work very well, but I can't help but feel that some patches aren't set up correctly (I'm an amature, so I apologize). Interestingly enough, there are a few music samples that are never used as far as I know. If you'd like to download the soundfont, check this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/gwi9sb5hb1cgx5a/dino_planet_music.sf2

Please note that the soundfont is not GM standard or whatever. The patch numbers reflect the original instrument numbers from MUSIC.bin so that they could be easily
compatable with the ripped MIDIs.

And here are the MIDIs that I split:

Enjoy.

Also pls make sure it's backed up and everything.

This is so damn awesome, but...

The Northern Wastes song is either missing or it IS version 1, which is very screwed up.

Is it possible to properly restore it?


Are you referring to 63 - 00000049 00074254?

There was a problem with the way the MIDI file sequenced things in the song. It's kind of like how Diddy Kong Racing/Banjo do things, by having just one song loaded but the song itself mutes some channels and enables others depending on where you are or what you're doing. That song in particular had the songs of 3 different areas in one, while still working with 16 channels for audio. I can usually tell if the song is one of those types by just listening to all the channels at once, nothing will seem to fit with each other initially until you enable/disable the right channels. I tried my best to compare it with the leaked video, but it's hard to tell what belonged and what didn't belong for that song. Sorry.

But still, this is so awesome.

It seems like Star Fox Adventures recycled almost all tracks and only made new tracks for Star Fox-things.

Also, that Galleon Theme near the end sounds very 'The end'-ish.

And the Title song seems to be missing completely, I wonder why?

EDIT: 'A programm', does it refer to FL Studio or something entirely different?


I think the title song might be a sample of a loop, so it's not a sequenced midi like the rest of the music is. When I rewatched the 50 minute video, I noticed the theme faded out at the same time as the opening theme faded in. The sample might be located somewhere in MUSIC/SFX.bin. In fact I just remembered that the old DP item get jingle is a sample in one of those files. So perhaps the title song might be in there?

Also I just realized that the final version of the game pretty much used zlib for everything. In this build, they were experimenting with zlib and lzo. The final also doesn't have uncompressed versions of any of the files like this prototype does. So we're pretty lucky.

The model data intrigues me. This version also leaves uncompressed versions of maps in their map directories while the final uses zlib. The game doesn't use any of the mod data in the root directory (so why those files are there is beyond me). When I compared some of the mod data in the root directory with the same data in their own directories, there were no differences. I was thinking that maybe the model files were really Wavefront .mods (binary versions), but I don't know if that's true or not. I noticed that the file size of MAPS.bin in this version of the game is bigger than the one in the final. The file itself has a bunch of zlib archives inside. I wonder what's in here?

BLOCKS.bin might be more interesting as it's not used/loaded in this version and doesn't exist in the final, and consists of uncompressed models put together, but I'm starting to realize that the mod data listed in this uncompressed file are different from the mod data included raw and used in the game. For example, mod5 is one of the first models listed in the file but it doesn't look like it's the same file mod5 file that's in the animtest directory. Strangely, the mod5 file doesn't even exist in the final version of the game in that folder.

It'd be nice if we could view these models now that we have uncompressed versions of the data. If anyone wants to take a look at the data, let me know and I'll upload a few to look at.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
