Any chance the 2 exclusive tracks from the Playstation version ("Enter Initials" and "Credits") exist as a .VGZ somewhere? Maybe it's deep, deep in the ROM? Probably not, but I thougt I'd ask:

PS1 also has a track for the attract mode intro. I have already been digging in the arcade game's data and none of those tracks are present. There is one unused track that hasn't been logged, but as you can notice it is very incomplete and broken instrument data. (at 35 seconds I tried to fix it).
Ha, that's great. I like your version more!ctr wrote:PS1 also has a track for the attract mode intro. I have already been digging in the arcade game's data and none of those tracks are present.

Thanks for all you do! When Ridge Racer emulation got improved in MAME last year and I realized all that redbook audio from the PS1 wasn't actually needed, that the whole game and music were just in a 12MB ROM, it blew my mind. I read about the C352 and found your Pixelated Audio podcast appearance. I'm loving Quattroplay and am busy unzipping and copying over all the rest of the ROMS!
Also, I saw the change you made to ridgerac.ini. I like the different intro to Rhythm Shift. Except, when you play "07 Rhythm Shift (12" Version)" it plays the new one with the different intro. And when you play "11 Rhythm Shift (Different Intro)" it plays the original version.
I don't know anything about music or github, but I think it should be:
[action.0]
r00 = 1
[action.1]
r01 = 0
[action.2]
r00 = 0
instead of:
r00 = 0
[action.1]
r01 = 0
[action.2]
r00 = 1
If you fix that, are you also going to commit the unused/fixed track?
It's a special case, because the OST (Namco Game Sound Express Vol. 11) has the "eins, zwei, drei" sample in the beginning, while the PS1 version doesn't. I guess the arcade version will play both versions depending on context.Namco51 wrote: Also, I saw the change you made to ridgerac.ini. I like the different intro to Rhythm Shift.

This is the patch to enable the unused song. I might add it to the ini file at some point, but I would rather have a directory of "patched" ini files stored somewhere else in the repo for things like this. I have a few of them already on my computer, they're just not checked into the repo yet.

Nonstop Rhythm Shift
I had a question about Rhythm Shift not advancing to the next track, but realized it's not a VGM thing but rather a QuattroPlay thing. Asking in the appropriate thread. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2513&p=11207#p11207
