It sounds pretty good  :thumbsup:. But I ran into a problem, I used up just about all the free space from 0x01d9e0-0x01fc0f, unless the song is extremely short, I doubt another song will fit. There's a ton of free space from 0x016b23-0x017c0f but for some reason it won't allow any music to be played from there. I would love to fit more songs, but I don't know how to get this area to allow music to be played.

If someone could get that area to play music, then maybe 7-10 more songs will fit. Or 3-4 songs and some final boss music.


I'll see if I can.


Here's what I have for the songs

The numbers on the left refer to the number of the song in hex.

The middle numbers are the hex locations of the song

The numbers under the songs are the song pointers

I did for just a minute, all I noticed was that the music plays slower. I didn't try it long enough to notice anything else.
How are the maps messed up?

I have, but then I thought what if someone wanted this translated back when we're done?

That definitely would add much more space that maybe can be used to add more scenes and dialogue though.

I'll probably delete the Chinese characters, It seems like halkun is good at the programming stuff and is willing to help.
Maybe s/he will be able to make use of the space and improve the battle system and other ASMs.
I don't think the rom needs to be expanded yet, there's still a ton of free space.
Other than the Chinese characters, I'm not sure what else can be deleted.

Mako Reactor Music

BTW, if you want to make your boss song sound like a guitar look at my guitar sample

I've been out experimenting...

After digging in the code, I have discovered that it just might be easier to recode the mess in a new ROM. The internal engine just too different for a re-balancing. The up side is that I can try and keep the data compatible to that all that needs to be done is an import of the maps. I'm laying out the kernel and the Menu module now, after that comes field, event, and then battle. I have the code to FF1 so I can borrow stuff from that. I'm looking into a good mapper to get things going.

Wow that would be awesome!!

If we make a new music engine, can we make the sound engine accept DPCM sounds?

Here's the Bombing Mission Music that plays at the beginning and for the scorpion boss.
