GBA on the other hand has one music engine that's used by most anything originally made in Japan. I can infodump you on that if you want.

~ INFODUMP COMMENCING ~

M4A basic structure
Songs cover background music, jingles and sound effects, all in the same format. Each song has a pointer in a global song table that points to that song's header. The header format is as follows.

Song header
Number of tracks (byte)
Number of blocks (byte, I'm not sure what this does)
Priority (byte, determines how important the song is; usually, sfx > jingles > bgm)
Reverb (byte)
Pointer to voice group (think soundfont)
A number of pointers to each track in the song, obviously equal to the first byte.

Track data
Each track is a series of byte-sized commands. Certain commands take parameters, which may be pointers or 16-bit integers:

The 0x00-0x7F range (inclusive) are Pitch commands. At least one Nxx command (see below) must precede them. If a Pitch command is not preceded by an Nxx command, the last used length is reused. If another byte in the 0x00-0x7F range directly follows a Pitch command, that byte is the Velocity for that note. If no Velocity is given, the last one is reused (again), defaulting to 0x7F (100%).
The 0x80-0xB0 range (also inclusive) are Wait commands, which cause the track to pause for a given number of ticks. For example, 0xB0 - W96 delays playback for a whole measure, given 96 ticks to the measure.
The 0xB1-0xCF range (still inclusive) are Control commands. For example, 0xB1 - FINE stops playback for the given track, no parameters needed, while 0xB2 - PATT takes one pointer as a parameter and basically jumps to that point in the song like a subroutine call. 0xBD - VOICE is one of the first things done in each track and sets the track's instrument to the given byte value.
The 0xD0-0xFF range (guess what?) sets a playback length for the next note. Thereby, 0xFF - N96 is a full note. If no Pitch command follows, the last one is used again.

The full command set can be delivered by email on request.

And I suppose if that didn't exist, Uzbl?
Ah, whatever.

So, are you having fun making that comic thing of yours?
I'm having fun writing scripts for it, so all that's left is drawing the actual comics. I've got three comics scripted that form a whole trilogy of sorts, and introduce Cynthia and KP9000.

If web browsers were candy, which would be most poisonous?
Firefox, by analogy with cigarettes: it slowly poisons you, but you can't stop smoking.

* Kawa is proud to have never smoked.

Ok, Kawa, if there was peace in the world, and you were bored, what would you do?
What any crazy, bored sumbitch would do! Wreak some havoc!

wish to have an option to change that?
You do realize having that wish fulfilled is very unlikely, right?

To play a shitty game that sucks ass he couldn't finish.

Okay, that was dumb. Here's a little something I dug up from my archives last night. It's a Wolfenstein 3D edit I made in 2001, based on some Star Trek RP me and my buddy at the time pulled out of our asses. It's so old, it has me use my old screenname! It features extensive but mostly canned source code edits and was supposed to have a full voiceover. Unfortunately, those get cut off by incidental sound effects like doors closing

For this, NOONE shall live! But first, let's get some ice cream

All things considered, such as Doom being made by the same bloody company as Wolf3D, I'm not surprised you are.

oh wait it's purple too, nevermind
To cut you some slack, you might notice that the "Main", "EMS" and "XMS" headers are in a complementary pink anyway.

Can we have a little more variation in who's postin' here, please?

It really is hard for you to see the timestamps, isn't it? Might I suggest going to your profile and increasing the font size setting?

The 4th byte in the ROM tells the number of CHR-ROM banks. (One bank is $4000 bytes). When adding more banks, i think it always needs to be twice as much as the old amount. Change it to 10 (hex).
Considering MM1 doesn't use CHR-ROM, as you stated, don't you mean "the 4th byte in the ROM tells the number of PRG-ROM banks"?

Maybe I'm just apathetic, but I seriously fail to understand why people react this way to certain layouts changes. It's almost like you're all autistic and I'm not!

That'd been a great point if there weren't people like Traffic.
