It's the same principle as MSU1. Any game is possible. There are some mode 1 Sonic hacks that have been around for years.

Well if we ever do a msu sonic games, i will do PCM sets for them. I dont doubt i can find good music for them. I dont know if we have any hackers still though.

by **Relikk** Mon 7 Dec 2020 - 18:31

I used Masato Nakamura's demos for that particular hack, but I never released them or even listed the hack here. They're sitting on one of my hard drives somewhere fully finished. I'm just not interested in Mode 1 at all. MD+ is far more polished and appealing but lacks support in public emulators.

Someone already listed Aladdin, but Lion King with soundtracks from the movie would also be great.
Other wish list choices would be Vectorman, Kid Chameleon, Ms. Pacman, the sonic games, maybe Sub Terrania with Metallica

Hello guys, I don't know if anyone here has already posted this, but imagine "The Revenge of Shinobi" with this soundtrack ...

Hello, I'd like to get into creating msu-md patches. I'm not familiar with 68k, I come from 6502 for the nes. I studied the .ips patch of MJ Moonwalker, and saw how it loads the rom address, how many bytes to load, and then loads the bytes to inject into the rom. But I want to know what hardware addresses are used to accomplish the msu-md? I'm assuming I'd have to learn where the game logic loads the song id and have to sub routine elsewhere to have it load a sega cd address or something? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Correct.

Include the msu-drv.bin into your rom (pad if neccessary)
JSR to the location/label of msu-drv.bin
Substitute any function calls or routines that play chipmusic with msu-md commands.

You can use my sources for getting a head start:

Thank you for all the info. I'm looking at Moonwalker and see that the driver is put in a region of FF's, perfect location. I'm noticing that the .ips uses hardware addresses A12010 & A1201F, I dont see it using any other addresses that krikzz talks about in his readme.

by **ArcadeTV** Sun 31 Jan 2021 - 16:40

I don't know how the ips is structured, but the addresses are CD hardware registers. Krikzz uses them to control the CD hardware directly.

Basically you send commands like play-once, play-and-loop, pause or resume to those.

Here's an example:
https://github.com/ArcadeTV/msu-md-wb5/blob/95b3cf71ef7de16409271ea6de3f5dd04c863447/patch.asm#L233-L237

I send the word #($1200|1) to $A12010, which is indeed $A12010 and $A12011 (because a word is 2 bytes), that's
$12 into $A12010 and
$01 into $A12011.
Command $12 is play-looped and $01 is CD track 1.

Thanks for your reply on how those hardware addresses are written to, I'll sniff some more to see it like that in Moonwalker, and I'll brush up on the 68k opcodes, I code in hex.

Hi, how about to patch an RPG like Warsong(langrisser)
The OST is already made on PCengine CD

What is the title of that album ?
The only info I've come up with is a 6 record vinyl album with the NES tunes, not something I'd use myself.

I patched up the game yesterday with your asm from Github and it seems to work fine, at least it's starting and plays the tunes from a dummy 83 track cue/wav pack I use to test if the rom is working as intended.

One more thing, in Fatal Fury, anybody know what the equivalent track for "Kidnapping" and "2P" is in NeoGeo/Arranged CD version ?
Nothing rings a bell for me after listening to NGCD version and comparing to vgm MD rip.
I patched that up as well with the asm (had to pad rom to 16mbit for it to work).
Besides a minor issue with intro chiptune music overlapping CD audio if you let the attract mode run, it seems to be working well. Very Happy

Sorry, everything is a bit crazy, so please excuse any late replys..

I'll get back soon.

Some songs that I found spread over youtube, where maybe something can be used ...

I would love to see a patch for Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie with songs from the original TV series album and maybe some of the original TV score by Haim Saban and Shuki Levy.

I think it would be cool if The Punisher for Genesis got a patch for MD+ that improved the music quality. Maybe make it sound more like a SNES game or CD quality?

You're the fuckin man dude! Great taste. I came here after thinking about Warsong with the PC Engine CD Langrisser OST. Damn that would be sick. How can we make this happen? Are there donations? Has Warsong been done before? Thanks everyone, you guys are the best!

Yea, thanks to Arcade TV for this patch, I contributed with the OST from PCengine.
It is one of my favorite games. I live in Latin America and when our uncle gave us this game long, loooong, loooooong time ago, we didn't know any English. My brothers and I played it countless times with dictionary in hand. Cool

. Later we played without knowing Japanese Langrisser 4 and Langrisser 5 on playstation. And later a friend named Kil done the L4 patch, I told him that I liked the langrisser series and he invited me to be a beta tester of his translation of Langrisser 4, I think it was in the Elsalia forum that it is already disappeared.

I'd like to suggest a Sega Genesis racing game that would really benefit from having CDDA music: Lotus II RECS.

It'd be awesome having original music replaced by DAXX remixes, per example:
