You guys using the http://vgm.mdscene.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=112" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">latest version of in_vgm?  Shouldn't have any problems with it-- in the plugin settings you can change the number of times it loops before fading out, and it also supports VGZs on its own (which is the preferred format for VGMs because it greatly reduces the filesize).  I use it basically every day, no problems.  (Although admittedly not in WINE like Prob Lem-- possibly try using the terminal-based VGMplay, also in the link above?  It's Linux native and I think it can dump WAVs...)

ccexplore, I dunno about the the rate thing.  Nobody's ever called me out on it, nor told me it was causing problems, so I think it's just a default that the DRO>VGM converter I use sets.  *shrug*  I'm honestly not particularly well versed on the actual file structure-- I just rip stuff and make sure it sounds nice.

Seems this completely went under the radar.  I just found out about it today!  It's called Lemmings Touch, it's going to be for the PS Vita, and as the name suggests it seems to have a lot of emphasis on touch controls.

Good to see Lemmings is still considered viable enough for them to make a new game  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />  On the other hand, it's for a console that many people haven't bought so it'll be in a similar place to the PSP version.  Also it looks like they're recycling a lot of assets from the PSP version... which might be exactly why it is even able to be made.  But hey, new puzzles!

So I've been around the community for almost ten years now!  Back on the early Lemmings Universe boards... way way way back.  I think it was late 2003/early 2004.  Been through pretty much every move.  I initially took over some time ago (at the end of Lemmingswelt.de's version of the forums) because the board was at risk of disappearing completely.  (While I know I'm not the best admin around, at least I've kept the site up-- that's better than nothing I suppose...)  Adam joined me on this little venture just a few years ago when isamedia stopped hosting people and we needed a new home.

Over at VGMrips (linked above) the current maintainer of the VGM format has a suite of tools which includes a DRO-to-VGM converter.  He also has a special build of DOSBox available which fixes a few problems with the DROs before they become VGMs (namely, it used to create dual-OPL2 VGMs even though only one was used, therefore they were inaccurate).  So, I start with DROs, convert them to VGM, and then do the trimming and tagging.

Feel free to!  Although do note I'm not sure that the emulation is 100% accurate yet (the percussion sounds a bit off to me, but I can't check against my physical Soundblaster Pro until I'm home in a few days)  Luckily though, since it's a pure log of the OPL commands any future improvements in the emulation will be reflected in these files right away.

Wow, that's more than I asked for!  Thanks.

I'll just make the assumption that Raymond Usher was the only one involved, since it seems to be the most repeated credit.  I did see that Colin Anderson credit on Mobygames but after some Googling I can't find a single other reference to it anywhere on the Internet, so I can't say I'm sure it's accurate (in fact, that discrepancy is what led me to ask here if someone else was involved).  I figure I can always update the VGM pack with updated credits later if I'm wrong.

EDIT: I've attached the pack since it's done now  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />  It's actually intended for the VGM archive over at http://vgm.mdscene.net/" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">http://vgm.mdscene.net/ so it's labelled as such, but it probably won't be added there for a few weeks so I thought I'd go ahead and make it immediately available here.  (Also, if you go check out the archive you can get the Lemmings / ONML pack!)  I'll probably tackle Lemmings 2 next to finish things off.

So in an effort to preserve DOS/Adlib music better, I've been working on soundtrack rips of various DOS games to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGM_(file_format)" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">VGM format.  Since Lemmings 1 and ONML were already taken care of, I decided I would do the often overlooked Lemmings 3 (All New World of Lemmings / Lemmings Chronicles).  Anyway, I have a finished rip now, and it's almost ready to go, however I simply cannot find complete information for tagging the tracks-- the last step.

What I've gathered so far is that the original Amiga versions were done by Raymond Usher.  However, I can't find out who did the Adlib conversions, or wrote the intro music (the intro is not present in the Amiga version).  I'm assuming that it is somebody different based on the pattern set by the earlier games.  If there are credits at the end of the game that tell me the answer, I'll never get to them because I suck way too much at this game.  Would anyone happen to know or be able to help me find out?

Hey, you're right.  I can confirm this.  Didn't notice before since I keep myself logged in.  But why it's happening, I have yet to figure out.  The theme is set the same whether you're logged in or not.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/huh.gif" alt="???" title="Huh?" class="smiley" />

Unfortunately that truck driver is definitely acting like a typical American

If you think that's typical, you should leave the house more often. Meet some people.

Oops, my apologies.  I was trying to be sarcastic because that's the generic worldview that people like to apply to us Americans, but I kinda forgot that sarcasm doesn't translate well through text. I don't think my :/ face helped either, made it look too serious!

Not that it makes the driver less of a dumbass or anything.

Jesus, you're lucky.  Unfortunately that truck driver is definitely acting like a typical American-- even if it's their fault, they refuse to admit it so they sue instead in hopes that they can profit off the whole thing. :/  What a dumbass.

In other news, the thing that struck me most about this story is that it happened surprisingly close to where I live!  Hit pretty close to home in that way since I could visualize the whole thing.  Didn't realize you were somewhat in the area.

Wow, I've never actually run into someone who uses ARM seriously.  Didn't realize it was actually viable considering that you're basically stuck if you ever happen to need anything proprietary, because nobody really touches that kind of stuff for non-x86 platforms.

I just run bog standard x86 hardware.  It's easy and widely supported.  I run quite a variety of OSes based on needs... I sometimes feel like I don't have a home.

I use Windows on my most powerful box because it was built for gaming, and obviously you're not going to find games anywhere else.  I find myself doing a lot of work on it, too-- just feels right and when it comes to special, specific-use software Windows is typically where you're going to find it.  However, I find it to be rather heavy and out of my control, even after lots of tweaking.  It's also only customizable up to a point, which sucks when you want to try putting together a consistent look and feel.

I also have a MacBook and obviously run OS X on it.  This made sense at the time I bought it, as I was working on graphics/artsy stuff.  Also Mac hardware just seems to have the superior notebook experience-- great battery life, decent weight, and a superb trackpad.  While I always really like OS X when I start using it for the first time after a while (dating back to the PowerPC days when I would use friends' machines) I find that the longer I use it at a time... the more I dislike it.  Things just seem way too big and the UI doesn't give me the right feedback (wish I could describe that better).  Finder is junk when trying to manage large amounts of files.  I also have trouble finding software for specialty tasks sometimes.  On the other hand I like its implementation of virtual workspaces, full screen apps, and window management-- and how it ties into the trackpad's multitouch gestures.  However, the notebook experience is decent enough that I keep using it as opposed to selling it off.  Although, if they got the discrete/integrated GPU switching to work on Windows (thus keeping the battery life acceptable), I would probably just install Boot Camp and stay there.

I also use Linux, though mostly as a hobby for now.  In the long run, I would like to switch entirely to it.  I absolutely adore the deep level of control I have over the system, the vast customization and choices of desktop environments/window managers, and cool tricks I can pull off.  I love how in certain distros I can pick EXACTLY what I need and nothing more.  It's true efficiency.  I do feel it's better at having specialty stuff than OS X, but not as good as Windows in that way-- and they're mostly command line so that kinda sucks unless you take the time to script things out (though once you do that, it's awesome).  On the other hand, it's annoying that you pretty much have to depend on your distro's packaging system or compile stuff to get it to work-- you can't just drop binaries around as much like on Windows.  Could be annoying if you ever want to use an older piece of software for some reason (could see this applying to games for instance).  On Windows that's easy, but on Linux not so much.  You're pretty much stuck with whatever is current unless you run an ancient distro, but then of course you don't get current software.  You can't mix and match.

I guess overall that makes me a Windows guy... I get the most useful work done with it right now.  You really just can't beat something that widely supported.

Huh, that's weird.  Didn't notice it because I don't care for Chrome and just use Firefox. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />

I may need to update the theme as well, since we were working with an RC version of the forum before.  On the other hand, it could be a Chrome specific render bug.  I will see if I can do anything-- in the mean time you might be able to scroll over to that side by clicking your mouse wheel and then side-scrolling over there (provided you actually have a mouse wheel of course).

Well, it looks like the update went well.  Not seeing any problems.  Huzzah, we're not two years behind any more!

Also, since it wasn't really used much, I merged the news forum with this one.

Okay, cleaned up.  Jeez, of course they had to hit RIGHT after I went to bed, otherwise I would have gotten them a lot quicker.  Looks as if somebody has some beef with us and/or just wants to troll.

Update:  It seems I won't be getting a break any time soon, as more ugly posts are showing up.  I apologize about this, and I hope nobody is getting too horribly scarred.  I'm watching for them, and if you see them just keep sending me mod reports.  I'm clearing them out as fast as I see them.

Oh my god that looks AWESOME (pun intended?).  Too bad I'm broke...
