I like this one

Although I can see what some were saying about there being too many images per page of the forum that all have to load at once.

Still, I've seen plenty of similar threads on other boards... but I think we can make the best one!

but this way people can just open up the thread when there's new replies and expect to see new images right on the same page!

part of the process of course is voting on which ones aren't actually that funny, which we can then proceed to weed out. So I'm hoping discussion will start around that aspect - like if two people agree that a pic isn't funny we get rid of it.

i'm hoping that in time we will have a genuinely funny set of images a click away for those of us that have bad days once in awhile and need some cheering up.

here's some more candidates:

Who wants one of these installed in their washroom?

You don't insert "files", you insert music data in CT's music format. In case you don't know already, SNES music data does not have a universal format, as different companies (and games) use different sound engines.

I see - well I guess I'm trying to figure out how to do that then. I'm pretty sure I already read somewhere that there wasn't any universal format, even though all SPC files from all games come out to be the same size (and as far as I can tell, the same format).

Therefore, I'm guessing that everyone who rips music from game ROMs needs to do it in the specific way that works for that particular game. So, I guess I'm trying to figure out who originally ripped the CT SPC files so I can ask them how I might do the opposite, and put new SPCs into the ROM to trigger.

Good to know, although now I realize that all SPC files are the same size anyways (roughly 64kb) regardless of the actual length or contents of the music itself. The music also has to be limited to 8 tracks maximum. I found a good utility to convert XM/MOD/S3M tracker files to SPC but for some reason the SPC files come out totally silent. Unfortunately the developer hasn't gotten back to me either so right now I'm pretty stuck. I was curious if the CE devs had made any progress with plans to embed Claado Shou's music into the ROM, but I understand completely if this topic is off-limits.

alright, i'm halfway there, i know how to write my own spc files that actually play back.

now it's just a matter of figuring out how to insert the spc files back into the rom.

does anyone think it would be a bad idea for me to start a thread about this project?

thanks again

The SPC data wouldn't have to be identical in size. It could be placed elsewhere in the ROM.

insane fan stupor

haha even though that's not the case, it sure brings a funny mental image to mind!

And once again, I have to say I agree with Mikisho, watching the credits was very sad because what was done on this project was incredibly special and deserved a far better fate - I can only hope that as many of us will continue to remember and admire the unprecedented work done on this project, I know I will.

anyways, another sad aspect of the whole affair is now it seems very difficult to find the line where fan projects are legitimate and where they aren't.

for instance, i was hoping to start a fan project of injecting alternative original theme music into all of the original CT music placeholders, to have a new playable CT rom that might have an interestingly different atmosphere because of all the new music.

IMHO this would not be an illegal activity, but i've been especially nervous about asking for advice on how to go about this, and so have only done so hesitantly so far at best. I mean, besides this forum, I really don't know where to go for help... I am half-decent at programming, and know it's a matter of writing MIDI files that would result in SPC files of identical size, writing the utility to convert MIDI back to SPC, and writing another utility to inject the SPC files into the ROM the opposite way they were extracted...

thanks for any replies, even if just to confirm that it is inappropriate to ask here - I'm sure I'll figure out something eventually.

Hah, 3 people replied to the last CE video saying they're going to play Chrono Cross for the first time now. That feels good.

that's sort of how i felt too, although i've played it through at least once before. CE really strengthened the link between CT and CC, renewing my interest in what would have otherwise been a fairly weak plot link. don't get me wrong, CC is still really awesome, but CE really helped me to picture the links in the theme as being a lot more than simply arbitrary, strengthening my interest to play through the game and really pay attention to the plot this time around.

Sound:
- Lack of new music
- Lack of new sound effects, though this is minor

this is what i was going to ask about - is it easy or hard to put new music directly into the game? i've already written a lot of game themes that i can save as MIDI files, I'm just wondering about how to swap them into the game for other themes. i hope it's not inappropriate to ask here...
