New aLttP PCM pack in the works

I'm helping out a guy on GBATemp who wanted to try his hand at making his own MSU-1 audio pack, and he just sent me a progress update:

It's nice, but I feel it strays too far from the tune of the original IMO. But that's just me.

Yeah what he said

Well, that's why we have options. Making an audio pack is a lot more accessible than trying to hack a new game, so if he wants to take the time to try it out, good for him.

Of course he should try. Learning by doing... I prefer to play all ALttP style Zeldas in a particular way. So it's a matter of taste I would say. It's well made and sounds good, but I just prefer Original/Original MSU music...

...and which of the 3 existing packs would that be, eh?

Are there 3 different sound packs? If so... No idea... I got DX... Haven't tested yet. I mainly use SNES9x and tried ZSNES and the DOS Game look got me eye cancer... Will try these days ^^ Which one do you prefer? (Link?)

DX is just the hack, not the audio pack. Audio files are all completely swappable:

There are 3 ALTTP MSU audio packs. I prefer the regular one, but the A Link Between Worlds is also great. This new 4th one is also a fine thing to have. So each one to his own I would say.

Someone also made a 5th one, which matches the old 8 bit sound, which again is an interesting concept.

This is sounding good to me. The arrangements capture the essence of the tracks and twists them a bit by emphasizing different instruments. The notation hasn't changed drastically and RebeccaETripp's choice of instruments have been represented throughout Zelda's compositions, past and present.

This should be a good one. Many thanks to qwerty and mgfcortez for getting this pack together. My fingers are crossed for a progress report in the near future.
