Kirby's Dream Land 3 (finished)

Here's the asm for Kirby's Dream Land 3

Non-Loop tracks are not covered (all loop for now)
- either you use spc fallback for these
- you add a long mute after these are played
- or make a handling (I can do this if I get a list of non-loop tracks

Tracks can be mapped with $2004, write in bsnes:
09f815 sta $002004   [002004] A:0021
21 is logo, 22 is title, 25 is slot select, 29 is wind blowing prelevel, 19 is prelevel 1, 14 is level 1... ....

Debug console, breakpoint, 2004, hook at write. This way you can map all themes.

2. There are tracks that loop (level music) and tracks that don't loop (e.g. game over in super Mario world). Since I would differ by the track id which shall not loop I can't set them yet.
But since the code allows spc fallback if no msu track found, you can just leave the spc for those. If the non looped track is timed (e.g. you are automatically forwarded to level) you can add some seconds of mute so the repeat does not take action.

Wolfenstein has a hardcore mute, means every track needs to be msu:ed. Kirby is much more friendly in terms of coding.

Since you are a beginner in both, coding and pcm making, I suggest you look for help here. There are many pcm artists around

Also What is the rules for music?

I do not know what you mean?

Rules for releasing a patch is:
Post with video in the category (Wolfenstein is Shoot 'em up, Kirby Jump'n Run (though it could also be Jump 'n gun? )

The patch file must contain
- the asm
- the ips, bps or whatever
- the msu file of the format the pcm are named
- a readme

The pcm drive link

Conn wrote:The rules are not as hard as for roms. If YouTube videos exists where to rip from it's more or less ok imo.
I think terranigma is one of those I urged to buy the tracks if the pcm are used. Also for star wars we provide.
But better is being on the safe side and use non protected music only

Conn wrote:It's not that easy. What is star wars or Indiana Jones msu patch worth if you can't use the ost?

If music is made by a private artist and the music can be ripped on YouTube, I appealed to potential players to be fair, read this:
https://www.zeldix.net/t1507-secret-of-evermore-msu

However, the authors of chrono trigger chose to not publish the commercial pcm and rather gave a tutorial how to convert the bought tracks. But here an alternative, free set exists.

So, it's more or less up to the authors of the pcm set what and how they provide, but if you can choose free music, then in any case use that!

Conn wrote:I really don't understand your problem. If it's download able it's free.... or not?
Just credit the authors, we often enough forget this.

I said all I could regarding this topic, leaving the message to you: It's in the end up to you what you use!
