ROM Hacks: Final Fantasy VI Advance - Sound Restoration

I combined this with the font enhancement hack, works spectacularly! Only thing i wish was that the palette hack that restores the colors to the original brightness was still there, the link is dead...

But seriously, just compared this to the SNES version. I cannot hear any difference whatsoever. To put it simply, stunning! Cheers dude!

I think the most pathetic thing here is how the music was purposefully screwed up by the official developers. I guess TOSE are the ones to blame since they developed all the Final Fantasy ports. Now that i've experienced this hack that restores the music perfectly, i'm offended by the efforts (or rather, lack thereof) of the official devs. The music was kind of ok in the unaltered version, but comparing it to this...

Thank you very much guys. I put a lot of work in this hack, so I'm glad people like it so I know I did it for someone. 
I also just updloaded an upgrade to the FF5A hack (not a major one unfortunately, it just fixes a few issues) and a revision of the document which explains the GBA sound engine with lots of more info (hopefully it's not written down too obscurely)

This is great!  Unfortunately I just restarted this game for the first time in about 5 years on the US rom.  Anyone have a save right around the time you get access to the airship?  For the European version...?

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me; here's some save states for convenience.

Before Opera House
Post-Opera on the way to Vector
Post-Cranes, just got control of the airship

I stopped to get some stuff in the Factory (like the Kazekiri), but otherwise I was fairly minimalist for once since I was going for speed. Have fun listening to the music while finding the stuff I didn't get, lol.

Very good stuff, thanks for doing this. I know you said you won't do FF4A, but you should

The save files should be compatible between versions. I know this was the case with the other GBA remakes. The only thing that won't properly carry over are quicksaves, but the standard saves should be fine.

As far as I have experienced, the saves are compatible in FF5 and FF6, but not in FF4, where glitch happens (they are compatible, but freeze when you enter in the menu or into battle, or even sometimes in other situations so not very useful - just good enough to enable the music player from a save I downloaded )

If really many people request that I do FF4 I might do it one day , but only if plenty of people really would like it being done (I don't want to do work that just goes to waste..., especially since they already released FF4DS, that more people are likely to pick up)

Thanks for letting me know!  I didn't even think to try.

Considering the bugs they had fixed for FF4A Jap rev 1.1 or the Euro version, that shouldn't really be too shocking.

I hope the thread necromancy doesn't offend anybody. I wanted to say that I think it was a stroke of genius to add reverb to "The Magic House". Great job!

Haha, in fact it's not me who did that - I just found a file with the echo added in a MIDI file on VGMusic.org
The same applies for Cyan's theme.
I thought it sounded cool and because they were free channels I kept it. Without the echo both of those songs would sound too much "empty". Other than that, I usually made the music as close as possible as the original, and this required quite some editing of existing MIDI files.
