I'm just working through a few more hudson drivers. If I re-rip something that doesn't go by the US name, and it uses the simple hudson driver, I don't mind. I'll add the author name to Bonk's Revenge when I get the chance.

Several of the games seem to have worth-while music, so I don't mind a slight bit of work on a driver I understand well. The majority of the work goes into rewriting 1 particular banking routine, and relocating the FF30 table info. It's all the newer games that have coding too complex for me to grasp easily with the current tools. Perfect Dark loads it's music driver into a D000 bank, at which point, it proceeds to bank and unbank the RAM from code, and the D000 code seems to bank and unbank the ROM. There's also the matter of how differently each GBS emulator works, where even an overall successful rip for one will fail in another.

Also, I've messed with my GBS to GB maker enough that it actually works again, with the new coding. I don't see how I kept believing it worked when it had a few errors here and there. Must have had something to do with my keeping the original known-working version in my GBS folder.

The version I used to rip the GBS was the version I played the entire way through, and when I got to the credits screen, there was no music present.

Edit: This is in regards to my DK rip.
What version could you possibly have?

Here are all the missing tracks(going by Reichu's gamerip):
Hammer Theme
Special Block(placing a road or ladder)
Plumber Down! 1(hit by enemy - might be considered SFX)
Staff Roll(credits)

Oops! Sorry about that! I just checked and there were some additional song riffs after all of the sound effects. I'll fix it in a bit.

Edit: Ok, if you redownload the gbs from my site, you should get the updated version. Thanks for telling me!

I have "Donkey Kong (JU) (V1.0) [!]"

Unfortunately, this is one of my older rips, and I lost my notes on it, so the only way I can fix it is if I were to re-rip the gbs, which I might do in the future.

I just looked at the game again, and there definately was no music playing during the credits. Perhaps you're using a different version of the game than I am?

I have the same thing no music in the credits on Donkey Kong (JU) (V1.0) . It definately is the version maybe even a prototype.

That is because you are playing in Super Game Boy mode. If you play in a different mode, there will be music in the credits.

Ok, I'll have to look into it then, I must be missing a bank or something...

Can you ripp a gbs for Toy story? And you might want to add Gameoy gallery To your gbs archive Before you do, you must ask Ugetab because he ripped it. :oops:

People shouldn't have to ask before they make a copy of something like an NSF or GBS. Mirroring is what saves files from being junked when a server dies, or the site stops operating. Maybe with broken rips, it would be a good idea to ask, but with rips that are believed to be working, it shouldn't be an issue. Rippers who choose to stick around know the score on the potential that their name will be lost when their work moves around. Most people who would want to steal credit are too dense to actually pull it off.

I managed to do that Toy Story rip. It required that I set BGB's mode to regular Gameboy, because the music wouldn't play otherwise. It makes sense that the DK rip could be missing music in that case, but having skimmed through the code, I think some init value needs to exist, or some tracks need to be played consecutively, or some other mind-numbingly obscure nonsense.

When if you changed it to sgb mode then changed the filename extension to spc would that work?

Nonsensedubois: I wanted to go into a rant over that reply, but to put it simply, you have what you wanted, so you can leave for a while again. Read other sources of information or do some tests yourself. If they don't work, you can either deem it a failure, or find out why it doesn't work. If your only avenue of interest is to ask other people to do things for you, then you're not contributing anything but a headache to respond to. You need to study, comprehend, and possibly even practice in some of the fields you've been posting about. The reply you just posted could have been avoided just by attempting to rename the file to .SPC, and trying to play it. The fact that it wouldn't have worked would have immediately answered your question for you.

Boss? Didn't you say you were 15 years old?

He's my dad he wants me to call him my boss because I work with him at the factory stripping wires hammering some nails and sometimes remove sheetrock from a unused wall.
