They're not final, but they're a good indication of it.

@Relikk Ok, I will post it on the main MSU1 page and see what bugs everyone else encounters when playing the game. If this is ok with you.

As a release article, you mean?

Sounds good to me. I just play it again and everything works great, The explosion has no sound when you beat the game, but I knew that ahead of time. Everything else is 100% in my book :-D.

@Relikk On second thought, maybe not. I still have to implement stop MSU when you die. Did not work on SNES 9X.

Vocal version of that theme. I can't remember if it was on the OST, but I want to find it and add it in as an alt, for the lols (sorry for using that acronym but it suits it).

EDIT: Ha! It is. Track 45.

@Relikk Go for it. That extra vocal track will be plus!

That will be sweet to have in game :-D

@Pepv, Would it be ok for me to post the cover art in the art fourm and then send you the link for it? I wanted to ask before I did it.

@Polargames Sure. All I will need is just your link to put in the Cover Art Contributor section. I'm almost done implementing pause-resume and player died code. The fade out can wait (I'm in lazy mode to code that in right now, close to my beer time).

@ToAll Ok, I added a beta5 rom (same link as before). This version incorporates fading (when transitioning and player dies) and msu mute when game is paused. Test it out and let me know how it goes. If all goes well, I will release it ASAP.

@ToAll I found a bug where the music does not restart after dying in Stage 2 (found when playing Snes9x). Trying to see if I can reproduce it in bSnes++ to trace where the problem is.

@ToAll I see what is going on, when you die, the game loads an alternate track A5 for stage 2 (without the bells ringing intro). This track is not in our list. I updated the loop table to include support for the alternate stage 2 track 165 (w/o bells). The updated rom is via the link. We are at beta6.

Hopefully, other stages don't do this (at least Stage 1 does not do this, that I know of). Otherwise, we have to revisit them all over again (w/o using saves states as new msu1 code may cause problems). Then die on purpose and get the new values (if any are produced).

@Relikk I see this also as a quirky game behavior we can take advantage of, for example, play that vocal alternate track when the game restarts. If you don't die you get the non-vocal one. If you do, you get the vocal track (or vice versa). Just a suggestion.

Cool, Thank you very much I will sent it to you for sure. :-D

Hey you earned your beer time for sure Pepv :-D

Yes! We'll do that. Here's the PCM...

Any joy with the Konami logo screen?

@Relikk Not yet, I found another cosmetic bug. After the game demo, the music should stop going back to the Konami logo. I will fix when time permits (block party later on today).

I asked JUD6MENT to check if any of the other stages load alternate track values after you die (after a new stage song is loaded).

There wasn't much more on the soundtrack, SPC and arranged. Only stuff that was in the PS1 and Saturn versions, but not in the SNES version. It's unlikely. Worth checking of course.

@Relikk So are we going for vocal track version after you die then?

@Relikk I just tested it, and frankly, I'm impressed. I prefer it this way. So be it, if you die you get the vocal version of stage 2. Lol. Nice, good job, Relikk.

@Relikk Ok, for now, I suggest speeding up the Konami logo (or use an alternate that fits better). All the other methods I tried, so far, to start the Konami jingle earlier break how the other tracks play in the game. So, no luck, for now.

@Pepv, Is that due to the fact the game reuses a lot of code for different areas, Or am I way off?

@Polargames No, some values pop up elsewhere in the game that are present in the Konami portion. One symptom, I get the Konami logo playing where it is not suppose too.

I did not know that, Thats weird when I was mapping the break points I did not run into any issues with the Konami logo at all. Where did the logo play at?
