DKC Atlas Forum

I recently learned that the GBA uses the same sound font that the SNES DKC3 uses! BlueTronic restored the sound fonts for the SNES version. But I don’t know how to do all of it. Does anyone know how to do this? Also, does anyone know how to make a msu-1 patch for an emulator to alter the music of the DKC games? Any advice would be appreciated!

It's been said that although the instrument samples for the game have been floating around, it hasn't been possible to extract the music into MIDI data since it uses some kind of weird encryption that no one has figured out, even though it's been several years. Some other people (not just BlueTronic) have been able to find the instrument sources though. There's an online spreadsheet that has them listed that I can link here if you'd like.

Thanks, Sledge! Unbreakable encryption? Consider me intrigued! Since I am quite good at cracking unbreakable codes, that might be a future project!

Check the remix gba topic for more information on the restoration. I posted it on the wrong topic!

Here’s an example of the success of this process!

I found midis of the GBA soundtrack. Is this the way to go?
