| 7E00D3## - Level Modifier. 7E001C## - Music Modifier. These codes, found by Joseph Soto* modifies the levels and the music. There never really was any source of what should go into the ## - so that why I'm here. Anyways... Level - Not much to say. 00 - Debug version of Web Woods. No fog, only two bees.

B9 - Stronghold Showdown BA - Bonus level - Kannon's Klaim. BB - Bonus level - Windy Well. BC - Bonus level - Web Woods. ----For some reason, the music of all the bonus levels preceding this line didn't have the music (except 1C). These ones do.---- BD - Bonus level - Haunted Hall. BE - Ending section of Rickety Race, I believe. BF - Ending section of Haunted Hall. C0 - Bonus level - Haunted Hall. C1 - Bonus level - Target Terror (I think). C2 - Bonus level - Haunted Hall. C3 - Bonus level - Rickety Race. C4 - Crashes all the way to FF. There seems to be more bonus levels in this list then in the actual game. Do tell me what you think. Music - All of these were tested on Pirate Panic unless otherwise noted. Also note that depending on the level, the music remixes. While this is a theory, I believe that music is just a file telling the internal sound processor what notes to play and is not actual sound data itself. The level gives the order to the sound processor what instrument set to use. If you mix, say, Bramble Blast with Hot Head Hop's music, you will get the music of Hot Head Hop but under the instruments that play Bramble Blast. Sometimes the music will sound sort of like it does normally, sometimes there's some violent screeches and sometimes it simply misses a few notes. Anyways, on to the codes. 00 - Blank song. Dying or winning crashes the game. 01 - World map song. Dying crashes the game outright. Winning the level with guitar/stereo playing does not however the game will crash when you try to enter another level. 02 - Title screen music. Dying and winning crashes the game. 03 - Swampy level music. No crashes. I have no idea why the first normal level music in the order is this one. 04 - Swanky's Bonus Bonanza. Dying crashes the game but for some reason you can win with the guitar/stereo win with no crash. 05 - Haunted forest music. No crashes. 06 - Pirate ship (Gangplank Galleon) music. No crashes. 07 - Mine shaft music. No crashes... I'm going to stop saying no crashes for all songs after this that are used in normal levels. It's obvious that there are no crashes. 08 - Not sure, I think it's Funky's Flights. Crashes all around. 09 - Bramble level music. 0A - This music a remixed version of 02. Dying/winning crashes game. 0B - Beehive music. 0C - Kong Kollege music. Dying/winning crashes. 0D - Lava level music. 0E - Carnival level music. 0F - Bonus level. Winning music played apon death and winning the level. No crashes. 10 - Sunken ship music. 11 - The first music you hear, the rareware screen. Crashes all around. 12 - Pirate ship (Krem Quay) music. No crashes. 13 - Not sure. Dying doesn't crash but winning does. 14 - Game over music. Crashes for winning but not dying. 15 - Boss music. 16 - Castle level music. 17 - Haunted house music. 18 - "Select File" screen music. Crashes. 19 - Cranky Kong music. Crashes. 1A - Ice cavern music. 1B - Jungle music. 1C - Bonus world menu theme. Crash on death but not on win. 1D - Riggings level. I think this sounds better in Pirate Panic then it does in Mainbrace Mayhem. 1E - I'm not sure, but it crashes. It might be the ending song. 1F - Final boss music. 20 - I also think this is a bonus level theme but correct me if I'm wrong... 21 - Boss music again. 22 - Bonus level music again. Winning will get you the losing theme. 23 - Ditto from 22. 24 - Not a clue. It crashes though. 25 - More bonus. 26 - It causes a SPC700 stall. No songs after. *I don't think Moto actually found the level one but I'll leave it to him now since GSCentral credits him. EDIT: List complete, to my knowledge. Feedback?

| Yeah. I have a basic understanding on the Megadrive/Genesis sound processor so I figured it's the same. I suppose I shouldn't have worded it as "100% theory" but you get the general idea. | |||

| Really? Does anyone have a link to that? I wish these forums had a search. EDIT: I edited the original post. I got a bit jumpy with the "all levels after 30 crash" as I found that wasn't the case. Found a load of bonus levels. (edited by Kles on 03-01-05 08:28 PM) |

| I think he meant the music data only specifies what notes to play, not what instruments to use. Knowing how Rare is with music I wouldn't be surprised. | |||

he really did mean I cracked that sound data...because, I figured out how to edit it, sort of.  The data is good! I am so happy I am not the only person who loves to hack the great game series..but, I have only done DKC1, yet.edit: even though I just see this is only "codes", it is still, the right direction of course. Keep at it  (edited by Yoronosuku on 03-02-05 05:08 PM) |

Originally posted by Yoronosuku is that so? guess i got that wrong, then. i just had a quick look at the game (well, i only found the donkey kong country competition rom on the net, but that game shouldnt be any different from the normal dkc soundwise) and from what i can see, the music format is a bit well, strange, so to speak. SNESHI $B9/9036 is the music loader routine and the actual transfer of the song to the spc occurs here: SNESHI $8A/B504 the 3-byte-pointertable at SNESHI $89:FF00 leads to the individual "sound sequence" blocks(just calling them that way because they seem to be able to contain both sound effects or music), consisting each of something that looks like pattern pointers that make up the song/sound followed by the patterns themselves. songs after $1b or so crash the game for me, there probably arent any more than that, at least not properly linked ones.the dkc spc soundtrack i have also features a so-called hidden track that happens to be the hot-head-hop(i dont remember the actual name, i think its zone 2, level 1, with the lava) music from dkc2. a hoax, maybe? oh and when i say songs after $1b, i mean song numbers, not actual entries in the aforementioned 3byte pointertable. i am referring to the value you are loading the accumulator with before jumping to SNESHI $B9/9036 to select a song. i dont have the patience to try all the entries in the pointertable out(around 70). i managed to edit a song in the sense of made it sound different by changing some random bytes here and there, but i have no idea of the actual pattern commands. but you said you figured that out already didnt you? would you mind explaining it?

 ... this is for DKC1, right? Oh well, either way, I'd like to see a bit of a tutorial and maybe it can be applied to DKC2. |

| Those values for DKC2 no question. A DKC2 hack would be nice but it's one of the games that's near impossible for me to play on an emulator because I have to use the keyboard. | |||

Originally posted by Kles Screech's Sprint? Isn't that a DKC3 level in which you never stop anyway? Anyway, the main issue I have is control. I always confuse the buttons and have always have trouble do a cart wheel jump with Diddy as well as Dixie's Y foward. |
