Rayman 1 Per-Level Soundtrack - PluMGMK's TSR implementation #24

Closed Mystyle-48 closed 1 month ago

Rather than using a patched DOSBox build to implement the Per-Level Soundtrack feature for Rayman 1, have you considered using PluMGMK’s TSR? It provides a custom CD image with the complete soundtrack and a native DOS executable that runs alongside RAYMAN.EXE to make the required changes. I've tested it a bit and it appears to work well.

Hi! Yep, that's actually been on my todo list for some time now 🙂 I haven't had a chance to really check it out yet though, but last I remember it didn't have all features that the patched DOSBox version did? A quick look at the repo seems to suggest the MIDI tracks aren't included in this version. Personally I don't think that's a big deal though. The main benefit is to avoid having all music tracks from a world play one after another in every map like they do by default on PC. I also recently had someone ask if I could update the Per-Level Soundtrack utility to support other DOSBox versions, such as Dosbox Staging, which using the TSR variant would automatically resolve since it would no longer be dependent on a single DOSBox build then.

So yeah, I'll definitely be looking into this more and talking to Plum about it to see what the current state of the project is.

The per-level soundtrack tool in RCP has now been updated to use the new TSR version by PluMGMK. This is available in the latest beta.

Nice! I have been using PluMGMK's updated TSR for a few weeks, and it solves virtually all the shortcomings of the previous TPLS implementations. Thank you for bringing this to RCP. 😄
