what's sad is that this version of the track naturally doesn't have the cool stereo effects anymore

Failentin

so the ideal version of this beta track remains lost 😔

Here's the prototype ROM imported as signed 8-bit PCM in Audacity, red is the entire music

AdrienTD

While being in mono, the music is actually sampled at 44.1 kHz, even though the GBA only supports up to 32.768 kHz according to GBATEK (https://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm#gbasoundchannelaandbdmasound)

🤔 Wait, where did I see him as the Merchant before?

PegPeregoGaucho

also that block that goes up and down is not in the final version

AdrienTD

Also was there a moment where you collect a torch from a crate in the final version? 🤔

PegPeregoGaucho

I think they just lie on the ground

PegPeregoGaucho

maybe this is an alternate reality where torches are beacons 🤷‍♂️

PegPeregoGaucho

Is Rome present in this prototype?

AdrienTD

Yes

PegPeregoGaucho

AdrienTD

Or maybe it's Greece

AdrienTD

Yeah maybe I confused my bad

AdrienTD

This is the last level (Greece I guess):

AdrienTD

The next is an unfinished Egypt level with no enemies and mechanics that you can't complete

PegPeregoGaucho

ahh i remember that part!

PegPeregoGaucho

behind you should be an island with many helmets
