As always nice and congrats

I do not know where to exactly place it but some of my google drive links weren't working anymore (security update at goolge drive). The newer ones still work. You still could download the old ones but only by logging into your drive account, - but I nevertheless replaced all links I could find.
If anybody experiences problems please report. Affected were those 2019 links from zelda ALTTP (retromancer), some of the bszelda sets, F-Zero and DKC1.

Oh, I see, it's in a different thread, good going then, maybe you should let someone know so it'd get linked up here with all the other packs I'll check it out soon with the VARIA Randomizer, comes pre-patched with MSU, highly recommended if you're tired of the 15th similar playthrough

I was waiting for the author of the thread to get back to me to see if it was okay, or not, but they never did and I completely forgot about it until you mentioned it here. I was sure I did it already.

Looks like the music doesn't stop when Mother Brain drains your life

From what I gather, that is how the stock behaves. Here is footage from the stock game...

And here is footage from the MSU-1 version...
https://youtu.be/WhH3GBQJn-U?t=10031

Both match the intended music behavior. So, my guess, maybe you are using an outdated patch obtained outside of zeldix (romhacking.net? brazilian pre-patched site?) or incorrect ROM was patched.

I mean not mother brain-- that big ol metroid you fight before mother brain, sorry. In the msu patch a new track starts playing where in the original game it's silent. Is there a track which I should just delete for that?

The same MSU-1 sample video seems to stop in exact same spot as stock version for the Metroid fight sequence. You mean this section in video below?

If you are using the most current update and used saved states or kept the SRM save file. Those have to be removed in order for the changes in the most current patch to take effect, from my understanding.

If this indeed is an issue, I'm surprised no one here said anything. Perhaps, Retroplay can playtest there to confirm?

Aaah, ok. I understand now. You want the music to stay stopped after the Metroid drains your energy completely. In essence, not play that other msu track shortly after.

I have a feeling that track is tied in code to play somewhere else. If you delete the track, it may not play like it does in the Mother Brain final confrontation (where metroid dies after restoring your power and providing the super gun).

If this is the case, the patch will need to be updated to accommodate this change.

It plays track 10, Theme of Samus, the track that also plays when you return to the Crateria surface after making considerable progress

If this is the case, the patch will need to be updated to accommodate this change.

Yeah... I never played a single level of metroid, and darkshock is long gone... If it is absolutely necessary to change I'd need a savestate and a problem description like Video of normal behaviour Vs MSU behaviour

MSU behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhH3GBQJn-U&t=9846s
Normal behavior:https://youtu.be/Xx-oNUud0Qk?t=317
The music is supposed to drop out but instead it plays track 10 again.

Getting a save state would take hours for me. Can someone who doesn't suck at this game get one? lol

Oh I see. Problem with the savestate is also that I either need a bsnes plus savestate, with the exact version of the bsnes plus version used (the versions aren't compatible with each other). Much better is a geiger snes9x savestate, even it doesn't support msu1.

However, also this bug isn't much a problem imo, it can also be regarded as a feature, not a bug imo This small music stops pretty soon.

Have you tried the superior Redux version ?

Unlock Tourian patch has been completely fixed, so it doesn’t play the Super Metroid eating the side-hopper cutscene every time you go through that room on Tourian. Now the game only plays that scene the first time you go through it, sets a correct flag, and the Super Metroid and its two adjacent rooms will play the normal Tourian theme AFTER the cutscene has already happened (shoutouts to Smiley, PJBoy and the people from the Metroid Construction Discord for the help)

It has MSU1 support and I have completed this version.
It's been a while though, can't remember if Metroid "fight" before Motherbrain behaves as you described though.

I have the geiger state (a user was so friendly to send them). My normal life runs nuts at the moment though. I hope I have time to maintain this stuff in the future.

Ok, here's a patch that may fix it... I didn't test much (or better, not at all, just checked it doesn't crash).
Somebody needs to test it from start to end to see if it doesn't have any side effects.

Hey Everyone, I did a small update to my PCM set:

Super Metroid Orchestral Set by JUD6MENT:
https://mega.nz/file/Z7ozFCSa#xveRY3G-H3ZFDVj2ytorSgjvhiDpzjZvcr3skQzi8aQ

I had a commenter on my channel suggest a different Brinstar Red Soil track that I should try using and I agreed with him, I liked it a lot. I also did some better editing on a few tracks as I learned how to use Adobe Audition and it gives me much more control on making tweaks to the tracks as I like. I also did some volume re-adjustments. No new YouTube preview as these are just small quality changes. Already updated first post.

Hi everyone! Here is my first ever PCM set, a pack for Super Metroid entirely sourced from OC ReMix. I didn't find anything good for the fanfares, tension themes, or Item Room for now, so those few are missing, and it IS my first set, so I'm calling this version 1. Readme is included with all of the track names.

I was frustrated that there was no OC ReMix based set for Super Metroid or A Link to the Past, as I run the combo randomizer a lot. I wanted something less orchestral and more personally hype. I might make a pack for ALttP as well someday... if no one else does first, since I'm pretty sure a more experienced pack maker would do a better job.

Still, I did a run with my set on stream and thought it was enjoyable, and the viewers seemed to really like it, so I'm releasing it! I'll add a link to my stream vod when it's done processing too, although it's very long and has a lot of ALttP in it for the first couple of hours before I really got to dig into the set on stream...

Added to the first post. Thanks for your contribution.

I updated my Super Metroid MSU-1 PCM set with 12 new tracks. It is a big update. Many of the new tracks come from a group called GMB Sound Team, which do covers that I believe can rival Blake Robinson (though I do use both artists). I also did some volume balancing so some tracks are not too loud.

I did another one.  Super Metroid, in its entirety.  I've got the tracks on my Soundcloud, too, in case anyone wants to listen before they download.  Even a couple of tracks that aren't used in the hack (The ship flight scenes and the planet exploding scene).

I added your PCM set to the first post of available downloads. I called the PCM Recharged since it seems like that is what you called your album on soundcloud. Also, I think your pcm sets are a nice addition to the website. I tend to make my sets as orchestrated and booming as possible, which fits some peoples preference but not everyone. Your still have a very video game quality to the sound while still elevating the music. I think it is pretty cool, even though I tend to take my PCM sets in a different direction.

Your PCM sets might get more attention if you add a preview video to them. I always do that for each of my sets. Some of these games have 10+ PCM sets to choose from and most people don't give time to download and try them all. A preview is just a nice way to show off your work and show others if they should or shouldnt be interested. I did add your soundcloud link to first post as a way to help others preview what your music sounds like.
