Hello, this is my first post... This is a weird thing, but I try to explain myself: This "hack" lets you change the opening (and maybe the ending) song with a standard 4 channel MOD...I maked a video of all the process with some examples and extracting of the original MOD:http://youtube.com/watch?v=yRXlrYyFxSgI don´t know if it´s a ultra-old topic, a known topic or so...This is the text that I put on the youtube video:-------------------------------------------------------First of all, THIS IS REAL! you need these:-Extractor (By nova software)-Sega Genesis Checksum fixer (of your preference)-One mod ISN´T BIGGER THAN 91KB-Some emulator for testing1º - You can extract the original MOD selecting the file, selecting the filter "MOD" and searching. After that extract it to one directory.2º - For insert MODS, open the ROM, search for MODS and replace it (See the video) with a MOD (Protracker module 4channels, there are MODS with more than 4 channels) isn´t bigger than 91kb3º - When it´s prompt with "if you chose NO, the rest of the original file... choose "NO"4º - You now have a custom MOD on Toy Story xDDDNOTE: The ending song and opening song are in one file, the ending song starts at order 13 and start pattern is 17. Maybe if you put one MOD without a order 13 may crash.----------------------------------------------------------------------Other info:The MOD is 91,7kb long and it´s stereo. Isn´t have information on samples or don´t have some text on it. All the samples used are in 8 bit, some looped. For it´s time (1995) is amazing how Travellers Tales maked a MOD player for a Genesis game.I think is the only cart that have a bunch of impressive things, like the claw machine stage, it´s like Wolf 3d, but with a 68000 and a unpowerfull VDP.When I listened the opening years ago, I thought that this song are a bunch of PCM samples with a loop, but thinking on the 32 mbit limit, today I think that are too much space for the Opening & Ending sequences... After some years, I thought on other thing:A 4 channel MOD... So yesterday I used a ripper... and bingo!. ----------------------------------------------------------------------I think this is maybe usefull for those dudes that know how to extract code and include this MOD player on projects like sonic hacks...
