I saw someone request this on here long ago, so I thought I'd rip it. I like the music, though the Genesis version is my favorite out of the two.

Again, I'd like to thank ValleyBell for helping me hack the game and getting the unused song. The title screen and unused song can also be found in the Genesis version.

And here my usual hacking information post.

In general, the sound RAM begins at C700h in this game.
Music is played by calling a PlaySong routine. There is no memory trigger.
The PlaySong routine uses a lookup table to convert a song ID into the start pattern of the respective song. This table is located in front of the PlaySong routine and has 11 entries. (The first "song" plays silence.)

This time we used a Sonic 1-like pause button hack. It gave us some difficulties though, because Doommaster1994 and me had different ROM versions and the routine locations were different.

The PlaySong routine is located at 0735h, the song pattern list is at 072Ah. (This is the ROM I had.)

The PlaySong routine is located at 06DEh, the song pattern list is at 06D3h. (The ROM Doommaster1994 had.)

The used code was a pretty simple combination of "call PlaySong" and the pause button hack from the wiki.

3E vv LD A, vv ; load Song ID
CD 35 07 CALL 0735h ; PlaySong routine
; Pause Button Hack:
FB EI ; enable interrupts
18 FE JR $ ; freeze CPU

Repacked and added. It seems to be unnecessarily sample accurate.
