re:Super Mario 64 - Bowser's Domain

The downloadable version on the site has numerous problems, one of which is immediately noticeable upon opening the zip file; there's two different copies of the file, and no indication of which one to use, nor why there's two to begin with. It's structured in an unusual way too, one is in the root folder, while another is in a folder in the root folder that shares the same name as the zip itself. The one in the deeper folder works better then the one in the root folder, which has improper echo settings, making it a newbie pitfall.

Even then, though, it still doesn't work perfectly. On bsnes, there's a loud snapping sound as the song starts, which is caused by not letting the echo buffer clear before making sound. I'm completely clueless as far as actually editing the file goes, it involves "approximately t48 r8" but I wouldn't know exactly where it would go, and if it would need tweaking so as to not mess up the rest of the song. I could figure it out on my own most likely, but I need sleep... so I'd appreciate it if someone could just post what I need to do to fix it. Either way, I wanted to post this anyways because I thought some sort of moderation on it was necessary... unless that's been in progress for a while, in which case please excuse me.
The folder inside the zip file is the correct version, no idea why the moderators did that, but it might just be a hiccup. But for the song itself, it uses totally frowned upon methods, like replacing vital instruments. Thanks for noting this though.

Nearly every song in the music section has the snapping problem. This is because the "t48r8 method" doesn't work how it's supposed. You're supposed to define echo delay before the song starts without echo volume and play a silent note.
If it really bugs you, change this:
Code
#0 @13 q7f v240 y8 w237 t54 l8
r4
$EF $06 $45 $45
$F1 $03 $4A $01
$ED $5F $E0

To this:
Code
#0 @13 q7f y8 w237 t54 l8
$EF $FF $00 $00
$F1 $03 $00 $01
v0c4v240
$EF $06 $45 $45
$F1 $03 $4A $01
$ED $5F $E0
None of the other songs I use has the snapping problem but this does fix it for the most part. Thanks.
