Yeah I want to try and find the original and cobble it together myself and add it to my own, but as an option rather than the default.

i used this link for the song : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayd-a44Nca4

accelerate a bit and cut it for mimic the arcade intro, and add the "pizza power" digit from arcade game.

Aye, I know, but I'm trying to source a lossless version. Haven't found one yet. The fact that FFShrine died recently doesn't help either.

oh ok sorry, u can probably take this https://archive.org/details/tmnt-cooos

Indeed. Weird how it was only ever released on cassette (and VHS).

I've updated the link to my own pack with the new version of the title screen music.

I've named it 250alt, so anyone that wants to replace the original arcade version with the new one can just rename their respective 250 PCM's.

Relikk wrote:Ah, I did it anyway. I was bored.

Arcade OST for the tracks that are available.

Relikk wrote:So I looked at DarkShock's ASM and the hack is actually complete. So, I added the rest of the arcade tracks that were missing.

If anyone can update the first post and replace the old Arcade link with this one, that'd be great.

I would suggest you to delete all the previous links, it gets kinda confusing when reading the thread which one of your posts is the latest and greatest, not even the OP one is the same link

The links in the original article with the patches and audio packs are always updated to the latest available versions, but I see your point.

I have to point out, at least on FXPak that the cutscene music of the turtles being sent in time for the first time (tmnt4_msu1-54) is strangely set to loop. I briefly hear it start to play again just before it cuts to the next scene.

Well 3 options
1. ignore
2. make pcm 54 longer for 3 seconds with mute
3. botch in Darkshock patch

Attched is option 3 for testing purpose

I'll give option 3 a go whenever I can.

The new patch fixed the issue. It works great and the song no longer loops.

Nice, I replaced link in first post eventually

Tried to unsuccessfully comprehend these two patches in order to make them work together. Also tried to use this to make some possible sense out of it, but it reports 100% compatibility, sadly it isn't the case, as it crashes when trying to start a new game. Is there a software that could help me achieve this?

MSU-1 patch:

Dash with L-R buttons:

After looking into this some more, The two patches are not compatible with each other. See below...

Though possible to make them compatible, it would take some time since no source code is readily available for the MSU-1 and Dash patch. TBH, I have no inspiration at the moment to do this. I would say the same for Conn. If you need this to be compatible, consider contacting the author of this patch to relocate his code elsewhere.

Darkshock doesn't release his source code so the shift must be made in hex by hand. I previously (yesterday) talked with relikk and we concurred that we are a MSU only patch forum (so it's not our concern providing compatibility with other patches). We maintain 170 patches, on romhacking you find a million further patches. It is impossible to make every msu patch compatible with every other patch... I did that in the past (last e.g. ultimate mk 3 deluxe), but currently simply have no time or mood.

@niuus, @ToAll I whole heartily agree with Conn and Relikk that this forum is primarily a MSU-1 patch forum (aside the Zelda stuff). It is not our duty to make every single MSU-1 patch compatible with something else. We would appreciate that everyone who visits this site to refrain from "feature creeping". If a specific patch is that important to you, please contact that patch author to make it compatible.

Now, this aside, I took the lesser of two evils and was able to shift the conflicting dash code. It was quick and dirty via the **hex by hand** method. The patch has dash + msu merged. Please apply on a clean TMNT IV rom with CRC 5940BD99. The patch is below...

Code:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TBCb3w3qGdZLeZWbR_9bhVQ7EWp8PY7W/view?usp=sharing

I did a brief test. So, hopefully, it is good. This will most likely be the last time, I will help out with compatibility fixes outside our own forum.

Funny enough, i re-verified and it gave me 83.3%, then 88.9, then 100, and so on. This kept changing everytime i opened the program, until it threw me a message "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application". Wut.

Believe me when i tell ya: i wasn't requesting a fix by yourselves, as i have read your messages about moving to other pastures countless times in many threads. I only wanted a nudge in the right direction and possibly learn to fix them on my own someday. I enjoy most of the work posted in these forums and, of course, completely understand the situation. I though about asking for months, googled about snes patch conflicts, read some threads with some loose info on romhacking, before finally trying here, hence why i asked if there was any software that i could use, maybe some resources to be shared, etc.

So! Now that it is clarified, apologies and i hope you don't feel or stay angry/mad about it. If there ever is a next time with a question about it, i'll be thoroughly specific to ask for written resources. You really didn't have to do the patch, so thanks.

@niuus Apologies, I re-read your post and jumped to conclusions. My bad and I own this one. Take the patch as a token of good will. I had to isolate both patches to really see what was different. Not really sure why your methods resulted in different percentage values. Mine was always consistent.

Thanks again, @pepillopev.

If you wish to fix those conflicts you need to do it by hand, and this involves address calling in assembly.
E.g. jsl $809000 let the code call this routine (fallstrick, there are lo and hiroms, you need lunar address to get the pc address. Above is e.g. lorom and you find the executed code at pc 0x1000 (I think, I have no lunar address on my mobile. So here is a conflict since this space is free, and both darkshock and the dash hacker found it a good place to inject their code.
So you probably want to move the smaller code since you also have to move calls within this routine, like jsr,jmp, maybe even branches.
So what you need to do is finding the call (which is maybe at $0x004: 22 00 90 80 (reverse and opcode 22 is jsl: jsl $809000.
You find another free space at 0x2000, so you copy paste the code at pc 0x1000 to 0x2000 and change the SNES call 22 00 90 80 to 22 00 a0 00. It's not difficult but you need the how to knowledge

I got a small preview of Lame Genie music in TMNT 4. They are going to cover every track from the game but so far they have only finished the stage music. I have converted what is done so far and excited for them to release their finish album sometime soon. Here is a preview below of what some tracks sound like so far.

I am releasing a PCM set of Lame Genie guitar cover of the game. They claim to be coming out with a full album that does all the smaller tracks of the game and I was going to wait for that to release this, but I changed my mind. It has been 4 months and still no album. So I am releasing this PCM set that does have every stage music and boss fight completed and I will update this set when Lame Genie releases their promised album.

Side Note: The intro theme and the theme of the statue of liberty being stolen is done by Dark Water Studios. All other small tracks in the game comes from the Arcade OST or the game's OST

Here is a link: https://mega.nz/file/AmhkzbJZ#NhceWcX5lOmrTmxO44qsJlgoLiicU2EcOkHB1ZLv2II

Here is a YouTube preview. It is short as I plan to update it when the full album drops.



When I update this PCM set, I will release it here and make a new preview video for it. Come back later at an unknown time for that

Hi all! Just a teeny tiny update patch for this game. It allows for the level intro voice clips to be replaced via MSU-1.

@JUD6MENT's pack now includes the voice clips necessary to replace these! Check it out!

We have a new patch and PCM set that is being released. The new patch is from Cubear who tweaked Dark Shock's patch to allow PCM voice clips to be loaded to announce the stages, while muting the original voice clips in game. However, if the PCM for the voice clip is missing, then the original voice announcer from the game will not be muted. In other words, Cubears new patch is compatible with all our PCM sets whether it has a voice clip PCM in or not. However, my newest set is not compatible with Darkshock's original patch as it will cause two voice clips to trigger at the same time.

If you want to play my new PCM set that has the Lame Genie band announcing the levels, you need to update your patched rom with Cubear's new patch.

Technically Darkshock's patch is no longer needed, but I feel it would be disrespectful to remove it all together, so I am keeping that listed too. I also think it is important to keep it achieved here on Zeldix.

Here are some links below to download the new stuff (that is also in first post).
