I did, but that's just one of my computer (didn't work.)

If anyone would like to replace psf...
Kingdom Hearts FM's A One-Winged Angel (revised version.)
 
Well the PSF guy is proposing an addition to the file format that will play PS2 music.... FF10 in FF7 anyone?

Now, I thought SquareSoft stopped using MIDI-type formats in FFX ('cause of the higher space allowed with the DVD format), and started using some variant of XA audio.....

Unless I've got my info all wrong again....:rolleyes:
 
if you can yank out the game while its still on and the music keeps going, its most likely MIDI ^_^
 
With the DVD disc format, developers can certainly store music in formats more advanced than MIDI.  However, I think the PS2 has a limited amount of RAM, and with MIDI its easy to load the whole song into memory to play it, rather than having to continually load the music from the disc while trying to load other things as well.  MIDI works fine as a music solution because its small and sounds good if you have good hardware and samples.
 
Once again, the crippling they did to the PS2 strikes again!
 
well with the HUGE amount of FMV used of course they couldnt fit XA quality music :P
 
Just because music is MIDI dosen't mean its no good... Afterall, Metroid Prime's music is MIDI
I hopew someone makes a GCSF ^_^

Now I'm confused, 'cause it someone (either either here or at the VGmusic.com forums) once said that the Metroid Prime music was in Ogg Vorbis format.  Of course, for all I know the dude could have been smoking the proverbial pipe while posting that.... :P
 
well metroid's music is in gamecube's version of midi...yank out the game while playing and see what i mean
if it was streamed it would stop when the CD was removed

Like PSF or SPC you mean, which have far better quality than PC MIDI unless you have a Soundfont the size of seattle... or a proper Yamaha XG card.

>yank out the game while playing and see what i mean

OGG can be loaded into RAM quite easily. OGG is around half the size of MP3, and a good quality MP3 track is only 1 meg a minute.
Try taking out a PSX CD while CD-XA (The PSX equivalent of MP3) is playing. Guess what? The music doesn't stop!
 
To all of you people who never got FF7music 1.10 to work because of some sort of error when FF7.exe(with the ff7music cetra patch applied to it) would run:

I FOUND A SOLUTION!!!

Browsing around on Aaron's Ficedula site mirror (thank God for you, Aaron, you rule) I downloaded Ficelib version 1.00 and took the ficedula.dll of that version and used it with FF7Music 1.10 (It requires that dll). And you know what? It started to work! So, drop your FF7music 1.05 version right now, and get happy with version 1.10. With FF7Music 1.10 you won't even need my midi.lgp that I worked on..so I guess that can only mean good things.

Aaron, once again we must update our little package..

[EDIT]
Not sure about this, but after doing a little testing I think that in this version the "obey stop" thing might not work. Someone back me up on this asap.

Funny, its stopped every time for me...
 
*bump*

Question: has anyone tried my latest patch to FF7Music? If not, could somebody try it out - I'd like confirmation that it works (or not, as the case may be...)
 
Where would we get it to try it? Or is it just the cetra patch for version 1.10?
 
Works fine for me, with the 1.11 FF7Music.dll file...

(This is under Windows XP Pro)
 
It works tremendously well. Great job, and thank you Ficedula.
(It works in win98se)
 
Yeah it works
Under Windows XP HE & Pro (SP1)  
Windows 2000 SP3 & Windows 98SE/ME

Thank you!!!
