Imaynotbehere4long Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I'm sure a few of you are familiar with this little game. ☺ It has a pretty great opening track (at the cost of having no other music in the entire game), and I thought that it would sound even better if it were remade with more realistic-sounding instruments. However, when I tried to find a remix of the track, all I found were Mega Man III remixes (nothing against Mega Man, but those games have plenty of remixes already). Failing that, I tried to see if I could find sheet music for the track; after all, if nobody else covered it, maybe I could. No luck there, either. Recently, however, I was messing around with Famitracker and had a new idea: maybe I could find a tracker that could import Lynx music. However, there was a problem there, too: not only does no such tracker exist, but Lynx sound files don't exist, either! (at least, not on their own like NSFs do). So, my question is this: am I missing something? Is there a way I can get Lynx music imported directly into a tracker? Does sheet music of this track exist and I just haven't found it? All I really need to know is which notes go where since I can't do this by ear (though I'd also appreciate links to any Blue Lightning remixes I may have missed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 There are no lynx music files. It might be possible to extract the music data from the ROMs, but I guess its not worth the effort, as the EPYX kit music is more a scripting than a real file format. Some games might use their very own music driver anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Probably easiest to construct it yourself by ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I was abit too fast for answering: At least Blue Lightning does not seem to use the format which the EPYX kit uses for music. Or the data has additional data in front of it. Will not help you too much as you would have to build a parser to get out some "notes" and "instruments". The data format can be foudn in the EPYX docs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
