Xayr @xayr.gay · 15/09/2026I then disassembled this segment specifically, to make relocation possible: Managed to get clean disassembly on the first try! I reassembled it to relocate everything giving me a standalone sequence file with that relocated bytecode in it. 120
Xayr @xayr.gay · 15/09/2026There are other segments marked as not touched, but those have instructions between them indicating the instructions likely had data. What makes this one different is it's size, and how it it is continuous. So I lined it up with the original file, and: We have sequence data! 200
Xayr @xayr.gay · 15/09/2026After talking with Trevor for a bit, I remembered that my diassembler keeps track of it's byte coverage to prevent duplication. So I decided to make it dump that to a file. 0xFF = Data Segment / Not Walked 0x00 = Walked / Covered We found this CHONKY data segment untouched! 110
Xayr @xayr.gay · 15/09/2026I wrote a disasssembler for it so that way I could modify music, and discovered the gamecube's BIOS had a jaudio sequence+engine, and went to try that. But there was a problem. My reassembly was significantly smaller than the actual standard rom. I was missing some data! 110
Xayr @xayr.gay · 15/09/2026So, the gamecube has this really neat audio subsystem called "JAudio". It's .. outrageously complex. The whole thing is effectively a 'music CPU'. It speaks it's own bytecode language, and can do math / etc. 110
Xayr @xayr.gay · 15/09/2026Just found this really cool unused sound in the GameCube bios! (thank you Trevor Rudolph for your help and letting me pick your brain about this ♥️ ) (🧵 bit of a technical writeup for nerds!) 143
Xayr @xayr.gay · 07/05/2026Was handing out stickers for these earlier, found this in the lobby. Cute that someone got their feelings hurt ;3 031
Xayr @xayr.gay · 28/04/2026Finally: The BMS (music sequence). This sequence is using 'simple' notes with VLQ-based waits So the corresponding MIDI notes for each of these would be: 41 - F4 48 - C5 46 - A#4 45 - A4 43 - G4 40 - E4 43 - G4 46 - A#4 45 - A4 48 - C5 43 - G4 47 - B4 45 - A4 42 - F#4 43 - G4 41 - F4 40 - E4 110
Xayr @xayr.gay · 28/04/2026Most interestingly, there's actually a bunch of sound effects in here (they're sequenced, so I can't extract them yet). There are offsets for almost all of these in the SoundCollection (SC, 5.arc file in unpacked), which means there might be one or two unused sounds here, but that's just a guess! 110
Xayr @xayr.gay · 28/04/2026There's the synth sounds for making the music, and a few instruments in an instrument bank: You can find these exact files in the gamecube BIOS. 100
Xayr @xayr.gay · 28/04/2026So what exactly is in here in terms of audio? Well, we know from a glance that the game is using JAudio 2, a later version of Nintendo's synth engine. There's the background sequence: 110
Xayr @xayr.gay · 25/04/2026Shipper: Hi I would like you to deliver this wheel bearing, just don't drop it from high up and it will be fine. UPS: 🫦🥴💦 240
Xayr @xayr.gay · 02/04/2026whoever previously owned my vehicle and installed stupid wheel spacers with shitty lugs and tightened them down without a torque wrench: fuck you. 010
Xayr @xayr.gay · 02/02/2026I spent some time refining this! Dynamic lighting and some shader trickery to enhance the colors. This is all rendered in Garry's Mod #outerwilds 040
Xayr @xayr.gay · 01/07/2025remember, friends. Gaslighting is not how you get developers to help you with things. 041
Xayr @xayr.gay · 16/03/2025Cool. So I've been banned from making telegram bots for making a bot that gives users a CAPTCHA before they join. Followed the ToS to a T. Still got deleted and then restricted from making bots. I've been developing bots to help the community since 2018. Support has ghosted me. 251

Xayr @xayr.gay · 18/08/2023These are $15 for 40. I am going to make additional bad financial decisions. 020
