fixme: "Broken" hacks approved from remoderation

News: If you have an SPC dump but you can't find the port, Vitor Vilela is able to convert it into text actually, so send it to him.

Just look above you...
If it's something that can be stopped, then just try to stop it!
I had an spc dump but I wasn't able to find the port, so I made it myself. (with nintSPC) It sounds like the original, but the instruments are different. Is that okay?

The important thing is that the port works without bugs and it's the same song - I'm all for enhancing the quality of the port.

I wouldn't say it's okay. Since he probably means that the instruments are different in the wrong way. There's no purpose in porting hacks to make them not broken if it's not the same hack.
Also, here are the legacy ports for those missing them in the music section. These ports won't work in AM4 though, you'd have to tweak them.

1) I guess it really depends on the situation. We should compare the quality of the ports and determine from that if it really changes what the hack is meant to be.

2) Those are already linked to (rehosted because I don't trust that a Dropbox link will be active forever, seeing how a lot of old content linked to off-site has gone 404...)

edit: yaaaaaaaaaaaay another badge I won't be able to get cause of my zero music knowledge. and this one is stationary. yayz. so yeah good luck to the other people.
Good job @HackerOfTheLegend; your fix has passed inspection. You're first in the queue to receive this awesome new badge.

Oh my god, best idea ever. In a few months, maybe we'll have most of the legacy hacks fixed?
Kinda in hibernation for a while. I hope to be back in full swing soon.

Turns out Keytastrophe is on that "fixme" list as well. I guess it's time to make it rise from the ashes for a last moment of glory or something.

Why not work to expand upon it? You use to be (and still are to my knowledge) our music guy, and you did awesome, creative work with the game.

Work on taking Keytastrophe off that fixme list and flesh the game out some! I still probably have ideas that I would like to see incorporated if I could go into the most inner-deep reaches of my brainspace to retrieve them. I'll even help you test it out under your specifications!
Slightly well-versed on everything LinuxI'll beta-test your hack. Find me here!

inb4 Keytastrophe Reloaded

somewhat on-topic: I'm surprised none of my hacks seem to break, but who am I to complain. #tb{:j}

oops

This post reminded me of this happening.
Well then, semi-saw that coming. I don't have the original ROM with me any more, so anyone's free to fix that whenever.

Actually, how is the fixing going to work anyway? Apologies for not being into it, but... can you just gather all the songs used, make sure they're in a fixed state, and run AMK on them without needing to unlock or otherwise touch the hack?


 
I unlocked the hack, not only for safety reasons, but otherwise I wouldn't know what song goes on which slot.

Also I'm probably using AM4 (I'll fix the hack when I'm back home tomorrow). AMK just crashed the ROM and even ZSNES after trying to run it lol. I might try it later again since I'm almost sure it was my own fault, but I think using AM4 doesn't make harm as long as every song works on all emus, right?
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?

I guess the only aim we have is to make it playable, so every Addmusic is welcome I guess~
...and also, submitted the one I claimed. Not sure if I'll fix another one, since I'm going to be even more busy, but I love this idea of fixing old hacks. Some of them are great masterpieces.
I am taking Lemmy's Wrath, then. I HOPE I can finally get it done. Since I'm a noob, I proably won't be able to finish it, but i'll delete this post if I give up.

Unless I really am that far out of the loop, I'd have assumed a different Addmusic build would have meant you have to port to a new ROM.

I do not believe you have to do that anymore with AddmusicK.

As for this thread, I am not sure if my abilities are up for the task. I will see.
As stated before, it's possible to remove AddMusic4.05 and AddMusicM data from the ROM now. Whether that always goes without issues or not is another question.
This sounds like a great project; I'll take a crack at fixing Unknown Islandz, since I don't believe anyone's claimed it yet.
Can someone add SMW2+3: The Essence Star to the mix? The music there also breaks on real hardware, its also one of my favorite hacks on this site.
