Well, It's been a long time since I started to review the first PCM pack for this title, and I didn't finished it yet. I hope to finish it this year... But I want to share the job I done so far and do this report;

Link to a SPREADSHEET with details about this pack: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PvGL4mcegQJuFczUA9MDp_j_a1bzB1R0V_wAUOAIba4/

PATCH ISSUES:

FIRST BASE PCM PACK ISSUES:

PCM PACK AND/OR PATCH ISSUES:

I was doing a complete new rip (and new mixing) from the SPC source to those tracks that has no remix avaliable, but I got tired. (I made it for 9 tracks and there's +30 left.) So, from now on, just to end this, I'll only get the new track suggestions from Savior, apply a volume normalization and set the looping points (Listed in the spreadsheet). Maybe I'll continue the re-rip (new mix) in the future.

As soon as I finish the job, I'll let a link here.

Sounds promising

Finally, I'm done. It's possible that the set got some inaccuracies, but I'm not going back to this project near soon. It's a very extensive and complex MSU-1 set due to duplications and a hard track-map-test. I'm exhausted.   Half of the songs came from the initial set, but I worked on the normalization and on the looping point for each track.

If anyone want see more info about the reconstruction, there is a specific tab in the spreadsheet left in my last post.

Added to first post, thanks

daniloroxette The Mission Complete music has no loop and it's short.

hey, ABOhiccups. Thanks for your feedback.
Indeed. Now I realize that I didn't extend the track and I was planning to do It because the looping is missing from the PATCH (Tracks 8, 9, 10). I made a PCM with the correct looping point, but with a short version. It would be better to loop from the patch, but I'll try to extend the tracks soon.

If there's another problems, please, tell me.

would be better if you could make it from the pcm side, I can set those tracks to non-loop, however, there are 5 versions (rev1, 2, french, with/out video)... the chance is always high that I mess something up if I touch old stuff... anyways, if you experience problems let me know

Better late than never... As our last year's dialog, today I update the pack to extend the duplicate tracks 8, 9 and 10 from '40 seconds to 1'54.

This is the Stage Clear song. As ABOhiccups told us, the initial duration was less than the full scene in the game. Now the song is able to cover it, but if the player decides to stay on the screen, the song will finish without restarting. (Anyway, It's unusual to stand still on that screen.)

Fortunately, that was the only uptade over this pcm pack by now.

Thanks, I updated first post

Gentlemen, good night...

I took the liberty and sent a message to Conn about a "simple" error in the game's intro, when I restarted the game's intro again, a song that shouldn't play, started playing before the loop, but now it's fixed; once again: thank you very much, you are the young man, thanks a lot!!!

(Wait for him to update the patch, ok)

It's already updated (refresh browser histroy if the v10.ips in the patch folder isn't from yesterday) link remains the same.

There was SuperFX2 Patch for Star Fox. Any chance to create a merge patch with SuperFX2 and MSU1?

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6333/

Misunderstood the message so I deleted my answer... so the game crashes with sfx2, right? Does sd2snes support SFX2?

Yes it does. That's why Star Fox 2, DOOM, and Yoshi's Island are completely compatible with SD2SNES / FXPAK.

You can try this. No idea everything works as it should (I'm no magician who conjures up Vitor's stuff).

It's a merged patch, so apply on a clean rom... also this is an exception, I'm retired

@Conn, what he said was:
Star Fox is made on the FX1 chip,
but yesterday @Kandowontu from romhacking.net put Star Fox 1 on the FX2 chip;
the question is, will an msu1 patch for this one be possible in the future?

@Conn, I take back what I said, you understood clearly, my sincere apologies there, ok.

I did a brief test (not MSU1) on the romhacking patch and I still think there will be improvements to it, some parts are a little fast (something sounds a little weird)
so we must have future improvements!!!

I added the msu patch alone in case there's a further update, as well as the merged msu+vitor patch (apply on rom without header)

Sorry, this one should work (deleted the patch above as it was corrupt)

@RetroPlay Once again, wrong place to post. PCM alternate tracks are posted in the PCM Track Swap section.

https://www.zeldix.net/f58-pcm-track-swap

Whoopsie, third times a charm, JK.

About the SuperFX2 update, it looks like some of the tracks may benefit from some minor edits to better suit pacing in some parts of the game.
Not surprisingly now that the game runs a wee bit faster.

If my patch works, @anybody feel free to post it in the merged patches section:

Conn You still gotta fix Victory Theme. It does not loop after defeat a Boss.
