Missing parts of music when loading old save states

Post by Alfro »

Save states which loaded music fully in the 9/09 WIP and earlier don't anymore, they're missing some instruments in the music

This doesn't affect all games with old save states
though I found Megaman X games and Final Fantasy 6 don't play certain parts of the music when save states are loaded.

It doesn't recover going to other areas either.

This may have to do with the save state audio changes in the 10/8 and later releases where this is occurring

10/8 WIP, and the latest 10/13 do this

9/9 and earlier load the save states with the music intact

and the save states were made in the 9/9 WIP and earlier

Seems like its a problem with the WIP, also it's better to use in game saves rather then save states, it doesn't happen with in game saves does it?

The problem is that some sound channels are disabled after loading the state.

Press 6 and the sound will be back.

Also, f5 though f12 are sound disable keys are you sure you didn't press any of those?

yay it works now, thanks!

but could later releases be able to detect which channels were on from earlier releases?

because not everyone knows this when loading old save states, and I'd have to repleace a lot of old save states with ones with all the channels now on.
