Donkey Kong Country 1 (Finished)

Boah, this one was a bitch! I needed two days to find a way to mute the spc, and eventually I got it with aram hacking

So here you go, the msu1 asm for Donkey Kong Country 1 (I guess EmuandCo will get excited).

I release it as open source as usual, so the community can take care of the rest if wished... What is needed?
- bml, xml - anybody here who can do this (secret of evermore needs those files as well)

- pcm theme list and tracks - I already adjusted the loop table. Make a breakpoint at
8AB1CB
For example:
$8A/B1CB C2 30       REP #$30                A:0009
So this is track 09, which is the title screen. Unfortunately, the tracks in donkey kong country start at 00, so I added +1. This means that the title screen is not
dkc_msu1-9.pcm, but dkc_msu1-10.pcm

The tracks range from 00-1b (while 1b is sort of muting everything, so let's say 00-1a is needed for pcm:s.
With the add with +1 and hex-dec conversation the themes are
dkc_msu1-1.pcm (hex 00, the jungle level music)
...
dkc_msu1_27.pcm (1a is the last track, dec 26+1 = 27)

So to map the tracks correctly, you can set the breakpoint at
8AB1CB, edit register and insert e.g., 1a into the Accumulator, to know which the last theme is. Or you play through the game with the breakpoint and look which value is in A. Of course this must be done with the unpatched rom, since the patch mutes spc, whether msu1 is detected or not. Sorry, there is no other way than changing the aram to mute.

PCM:s so far:
Its a Dubstep Mix:
Donkey Kong Dubstep Country
(In the Archive are the .pcm files plus Cover-Art)

Its for the "Kremlings Revenge Remodel" Patch or for standard Donkey Kong Country:
Donkey Kong Country - Kremlings Revenge Remodel
(In the Archive are the .pcm files and Cover-Art)

different versions (US, Europe, Kremling Remodel inside the zip)

Just FYI, 0 should be a valid MSU-1 track number (dkc_msu1-0.pcm).

As always I do not recommend OCRemix. I had quite some work to replace most of em.

I have patched the v1.2 but the music is complete off. With and without .pcm in the folder. If i put "dkc_msu1-10" no music is available in Game. If i delete it, no music is vailable, too.
