Thank you for this one, I remember logging it years ago but then I noticed some of the tracks in hoot pack were losing drums and other sounds upon looping, how did you overcome this?

I looped it manually using Audacity and the WAV outputs since the loop finder would take ages. Apparently Sacom's sound driver writes a lot of commands, which affects both the file size and the time it takes to find a loop. The same was observed in Providence.

If I remember right it re-inits chip 2 times after loop, so I looked for big chunks if instrument data with vgm2txt and put look offset right after second init to avoid weird sounds. Also, clicks are produced by SSG which is unused here, I wonder how stripssg worked and why it won't filter this pack.
