mlarouche / ChronoTrigger-MSU1

ROM Hack that adds support for playing CD quality music in Chrono Trigger using MSU-1. I also hope to play the FMV from the PS1 version.

Battle music? #3

I'm reading the code and I'm not understanding why exactly you're specifically excluding the battle music from playing using the MSU. Is there some issue with it that's not immediately obvious?

First it's a esthetic choice because when you play a new MSU-1 track, the position where the last where is not kept in memory and you can't resume where the track was paused. Since you hear the battle music all the time during an dungeon, I prefer to resume the MSU-1 dungeon music.

Secondly, when I play the MSU-1 battle music, the battle SFX are wrong because the SPC data with battle SFX is not loaded. I could find a better hook for battle to let the game upload the SPC data but not play it.

It's a shame the MSU-1 is limited to a single .PCM audio stream. If it was capable of just two, then most problems like this could be eliminated, as well as adding effects like crossfading, or even full voice acting. On Apr 24, 2015 10:26 AM, "Michaël Larouche" notifications@github.com wrote:

Tell you what: I'll hold byuu down while you take a bat to his knees until he agrees to update the MSU-1 specifications. On Apr 24, 2015 10:32 AM, "Michaël Larouche" notifications@github.com wrote:

In fact, someone just needs to do it, like a proof-of-concept so that ikari can implement it as well on the SD2SNES. Maybe someday...

Dizzy611 commented 9 years ago

the former is actually not something I'd considered, but it certainly makes sense
