What's missing from this? That untagged rip by Mogman has 133 songs compared to yours with 81.

In the game, some stages have different alterations of the same track and are split into multiple audio files in the actual game data. For some of the tracks, I transition alterations or stage songs into one track. Next time, give a listen first.

I was highly unimpressed by this soundtrack. I wasn't expecting anything of Dave Wise calibur, but it lacked any ability to be catchy as the old ones. Aside from the returning remixed tunes, only 2 I found worth listening to. I'll stick to DKC and DKC2. I still thank you for the upload, though.

you could be a bit more specific. MP3 or Flac ? & what are the tracks (maybe) corrupted ?

i guess it's the Flac because:
i grabbed the MP3 version,
no extraction error,
all is taged well,
all the tracks are played without error for me.

or as i said before, your download was corrupted, not the upload neither the .rar itself.
i won't check the Flac, i won't dl it & i can't help you with them (the flacs).

Same here, very disappointing besides though there are a few good ones not including that shameful version of Bonus Room Blitz. Surprised they didn't use Gangplank Galleon for one of the beach tracks and just used a bunch of uncatchy drum tunes.

@Simon B
Thanks and you're welcome for the tracks.

@ Pokeneon7 & mxx
I've downloaded the mp3 RARs and checked each track with no errors. How are 3 tracks broken if all of them don't work BTW? Either way, redownload and hopefully they work. And try not to troll Pokeneon7 :(

UPDATE:
Well after screwing up a bit I fixed yet another track that you guys may or may not realize is incorrect. Here is hopefully the last mistake in the rip. Mp3 Versions of the "fixed" fracks are now available on the first post.

Thanks for this rip. Very good quality.

In terms of the soundtrack itself, while it's wonderful to hear the original score reinstated all these years later, I feel somewhat cheapened by the use of MIDI still after all these years. The chance to bring it back in orchestrated form would have been amazing.

The combination of the Mine Menace layers seems wrong... Like, it seems like the layers were supposed to be separate as they don't seem to sync very well- especially noticable at 1:22 when one layer changes key and the other doesn't.

Same goes for Hot Rocket and Gear Getaway. The various layers seem wrong combined.

"facepalm" @ Blast Blast... yea I looked it up on my screen when playing the game and on a small TV M looks more like a scrunched up BL or maybe that's just me.

@Zondekel, was following the title of the raw tracks for certain layers. I'll mix and match to see if I can better results for those three tracks.

@jentas, awesome to promote the music but perhaps you could let me fix those possibly wronged tracks first.

That might also extend to Peaceful Pier. I haven't listened to the entire soundtrack, so I don't know how many levels use variations of that theme that I'm just going to call from here on out the Mine Menace theme.

On an unrelated note, I remember in Mogman's rip there was a theme that was a medley made up of Donkey Kong Jr. clips- is that in here? In his rip, it's under the name "Jungle(L04)Factory(L01)." Haven't listened to the whole thing, as I said, so I don't know if the theme is in your collection.

EDIT: Thinking about it- you said that you were combining the layers by their titles- I haven't gotten to play the game yet (tomorrow I get to), but you think that the layers are more like alternate versions of the themes that play when you get to, say, the end of those segments? Kind of like how some of the original titles for the mine cart levels are labeled as "MC END" or something, and the music shifts to that alternate version?

OrangeC
11-27-2010, 05:54 PM
I think rickety rails has an alternate ambient layer theme that you might have mixed with the main track, i don't think that was suppose to be mixed in as when listened to it in ambient form it sounds like a whole different track rather then being apart of the rickety rails kart theme.

From how layered tracks have been made in the game, they've all been the exact same size as the track they're supposedly layered over. Any alternate track is usually a bit longer or shorter then its counterpart for songs like "Stormy Shore". With Rickety Rails, Bombs Away, Roasting Rails, and Prehistoric Path, they all have a similar layered track. If it's wanted, I can end each track with their "alternate track".

Peaceful Pier and Mine Menace were supposed to be the same track though I screwed up and made two versions accidentally. Blowhole Bound is a new track.

Well since last time, the problem was with layered tracks. I've looked through the actual game to see if any notable track names were wrong too. I believe now they've all been corrected.

Had to give thanks the music pieces here are insane [both original and remixes]. Thanks for your time and involved making this rip. I know it takes a LOT of time getting right.

A side note: The game is spectacular, I'm still enjoying it now [World 7-Factory], I do have to say though that some levels are quite "annoying" such as the Barrel rocket levels...

TYVM for sharing! Just wondering: don't you think adding a 250KiB album art picture for every track is slightly overkill? Discogs for instance only allows images smaller than 300px wide. I'd suggest adding a smaller version to the media tag and leaving one large one outside with all the files. Makes for ~19MiB less of download size.

CORRECTION: Track #3 should be Simian Segue. Classic tune like that is hard for me to forget! :P

EDIT: Not trying to be rude but some tags could do some tidying up... Sound Forge leaves some fields in the file tag, then you also duplicated your Comment into a new Description field, and finally there's a weird IENG field with a Nanocontroller watchamacallit? I took care of it on my own but you seem to care a lot about the tidiness of this all so I thought you'd like to know.

Hmmm, I had it right the first time. I looked it up just in case and for some reason, I found it as "Simian Sague".

Nope! Those are in game sound effects. Before each boss, the same song plays with the Tiki's respective instrument added on.

It's titled "74 - Trophy".

Yeah, Bombs Away and Mine Kart Kruise are the same. Whoops. And yes I know now that it's Simian Segue. The title was correct when the rip was first posted. I double checked to see if the names were correct and I found “Simian Sague” as the track name of many sites which was odd.

Actually, regarding the Tiki Possession tracks, I've went through the cutscenes without any SFX using the "mute SFX option" and have found that the instruments used by the Tikis are in the BGM, as well as each boss having different music for their cutscene (excluding the Tiki instrumental).

Lift-off Launch is the theme for Mole Patrol. I don't understand what third variation you speak of. For Rocket Barrel themes, there are two variations; melody playing when on the rocket barrel and background beat when off the rocket. That second variation appears at the end of the track. Can you elaborate on this third variation or send a sample of it?

Nonono, I do not mean the track after the Rocket Barrel sequence. Look, the first Rocket Barrel theme also has three variations: The original version (Found in Peaceful Pier and Crowded Cavern, named Mine Menace), a softer variation (Found in Gear Getaway), and a volcanic variation (Found in Hot Rocket). Like the first Rocket Barrel theme, the second one seems to have those variations as well; the original version, the softer variation and the volcanic variation.

Now, the thing I know, is that all three variations of the second Rocket barrel theme can be found in Mogman's rip of DKCR, as well as the variations of the first Rocket Barrel theme, and the variations of the themes after the Rocket barrel sequences (four of them, three for the first theme, one for the second theme), but all untagged and unlooped, just like the other soundtracks in the rip.

Maybe you thought one of the soundtracks was the same and ignored it, or, if already ripped and converted, deleted the MP3 and FLAC files of it.

Excuse me if you couldn't understand me.

Guys i don't have time to but you an do this to extract the RAS files out of the games.PAK files by using Alpha23's General extraction script. I modified it specifically for the PAK files.


get BNAME basename
string BNAME += "_"
set OFFSET 0
set SEARCH OFFSET
math SEARCH += 8
set QUIT 0
for i = 1
goto SEARCH
FindLoc SIZE string "\x52\x41\x53\x5F\x00\x00\x00\x02" 0 ""
if SIZE == ""
get SIZE asize
set QUIT 1
endif
math SIZE -= OFFSET
set NAME BNAME
string NAME += i
log NAME OFFSET SIZE
if QUIT != 1
math OFFSET += SIZE
set SEARCH OFFSET
math SEARCH += 8 # needs to be the lengh of the search string
else
cleanexit
endif
next i

copy this code into a notepad and save as .bms


Also here is a .Bat extraction code


for %%i in (*.PAK) do quickbms.exe -o gen_split.bms *%%i* *%CD%*

copy it to a notepad and save as .bat

have quickbms.exe the bms script and the pak files along with the .bat in one DIR and run the bat :)

That's it, I guess.

Alright I found it. It's not Mole Patrol but actually Lift-Off Launch. It must have slipped my mind since Mole Patrol and Lift-Off Launch sound almost exactly the same, it's just that Lift-Off Launch is so short a stage that it never gets to that extra part oddly enough. But here it is in FLAC and MP3 nonetheless.

Well the script usually spits out the archive name and the suffix, since the ras files have no filenames inside them, You can check to see if it extracted properly by checking for the ras header in hex, or renaming extension to .RAS and play with vgmstream in winamp.

EDIT: for the file in your case there are no RAS files in there so it just spits out the archive again since it cannot find any RAS files :

So the script is working.

Donkey Kong (ドンキーコング, Donkī Kongu?) is a series of video games that features the adventures of a large ape creature called Donkey Kong, created by Shigeru Miyamoto. It mainly comprises two different game series, plus spinoff titles of various genres.

Zondekel
01-04-2011, 02:22 AM
But the Country series (and Donkey Kong Land series... and Diddy Kong Racing / DS) was originally created by British (Twycross, England, specifically) company Rare (Rareware) , after Nintendo allowed them to do so. Then they allowed Retro Studios, which is in Texas, USA, to develop Returns. So while Donkey Kong is a Japanese creation, the Country games were created outside of Japan.

If you actually read the previous posts, you could see that I've trying to even extract those possible tracks from the game data. So either you wait and stop pressuring for these tracks or do it yourself, simple as that.

Sorry, it's just that I've been having a problem on several forums where I make a post and by the time it gets on the forums another discussion has already started and my post is either looked over or irrelevent. Again, sorry for that and I'll be patient. Thank you for making an amazing soundtrack, !!!!!, and OrangeC for the extraction. :)

Yeah, Bombs Away and Mine Kart Kruise are the same. Whoops. And yes I know now that it's Simian Segue. The title was correct when the rip was first posted. I double checked to see if the names were correct and I found “Simian Sague” as the track name of many sites which was odd.

Yeah I know, the same happened to me. But I figured I'd look in the dictionary the meaning of both words; guess what, "segue" is actually a music/film movement. Sague is not a word, but if it were, it would still be clear it's segue that's intended :).

And alright! I'll replace Bombs Away with Lift-Off Launch.flac until you release a new file list. Thanks for your efforts! :D

I think there are two other songs missing... correct me if I'm wrong, though.

First is in 5-1 Vine Valley: when the level begins, you're in a cave with bouncy flowers to send you into a barrel to launch you into the main level... the music is this spacey, ambiance-like song that I can't find in your rip. Not sure where else it is in the game, so I could be wrong and it's just merged with another track, but...

The second is one of those multi-layered tracks. It's 4-1 Rickety Rails, where it starts you out in the jungle, blowing up TNT sticks to open the mine. When you're in the jungle, it's just a drum beat, and then when you go into the cave, it adds the marimba... I thought maybe it was in the Jungle Mine track, but that's a different thing entirely, I think... It has the same type of song, but it's different as far as drum beat and marimba go, especially the marimba (the drum beat in the second half of Jungle Mine is close, if not the same)... I could be wrong, though, and this is heard in another track...

Along with this, there's still the track that plays before you fight Stu, the ruins (world 3) boss. I could be wrong, though...

Wow -- thank you very much for this soundtrack and all of the work you put in. I've been trying like crazy to find it ever since I played the game and finally found it on this site. You've done an amazing job, it sounds great! Quick question: I read through all the posts and saw that there have been changes and updates along the way -- do the MP3 links on the very first page incorporate all of these? That's what I downloaded. Again, HUGE thank you! I would have no idea how to do this myself.

between this and the Kirby rip, I owe you big thanks. these were my big two Christmas titles, both of which I was fairly pleased with the soundtrack so it's good to have a reliable rip. I'm a little surprised in some of the disappointment in the soundtrack, I thought most of it was great. some of the MIDI sounds were a little grating (the sax sound in the otherwise really great jazz remake of Jungle Japes) but the remixes were great (better than most things on OCR) and the new tunes served their purpose well. I thought the lava songs at the end were nice, even if a replica of Kenji's previous work, I actually enjoyed his consistency in how to score lava levels. on a sidenote though, the credits has 4 dudes listed as doing Music and then Kenji Yamamoto as Music Supervisor, but I notice you only have Yamamoto tagged as Artist, any reason for this?

Wow, this is fabulous, and I thank you for your hard work! Can I just say some things? I do not know anything about extracting music from video games, but there are some things I noticed that are different. For example, in-game, for Stormy Shore, the percussion track (or layer, I don't know what it's called) from the first track, carries on into the second track (the mysterious strings before the more active part when you see the octopus). Also, in Mugly's Mound, the 1st phase is also layered with the main melody, not just the accompaniment. Those things, plus the ambience like music from the cave levels, is all that I would like to see if you add more to this. Regardless of whether you do that or not, I'm still extremely thankful for this complete soundtrack!

(excuse my stupidity, I'm new here)

I've been going back into the game to compare the in-game music to this rip and I've found another little missing piece. You know the second layer of music in Jungle Mine, the percussion that kicks in halfway through the track. In level 1-6, that percussion does start during the Jungle Mine track, but what your soundtrack is missing is that that same layer continues seamlessly into the mine cart section of the level. So the second layer of Jungle Mine is ALSO heard as a second layer of Krazy Kart.

Also, the first layer of Mugly's Mound is never heard by itself in-game. From the very start of the fight, layers 1 and 2 are playing. After the second time he becomes enraged, layer 3 kicks in.
