So I am actually working on this project. I decided to eat up my loss and redo everything to make you guys and myself happy in the end.
Here is the first song I redid:
The Paths to Anywhere (R)
I'm not planning to remake every song. Most of them will be ports from the selection I have posted on this thread and the old ROM.
I still had the graphics and levels, so that was pretty easy to import to the new ROM.
Another thing I did was revamping RPG Hacker's VWF Dialogues.
This version has a new text box that has the text separated from the main game screen via IRQ. The way the textbox is stored in VRAM is much more different, as it's stored in the upper right quadrant of layer 3's VRAM as opposed to the bottom right. It also uses a portion of VRAM related to the height of the text box instead of replacing the entire quadrant.
Before:
After:
I chose the upper right since you wouldn't want to scroll a layer 3 image to the top since the status bar is at the top. This means that VWF is more friendly towards backgrounds with layer 3 (or at least backgrounds with layer 3 that only uses the second graphics page.)
