Version 1.01: Old package repacked. Game name changed. Tags updated accordingly. Cover added and info file updated.

I prefer the simpler cover.

The VGM files seem large, I suspect they were recorded sample-accurate instead of frame-accurate (I can't check right now). They ought to be re-ripped if that is the case.

How can I find if a VGM is sample or frame-accurate?

Sample accurate VGMs will generally be much bigger than frame-accurate ones. Anything over 10KB (on SMS) is probably sample-accurate.

The best way to be sure is to use the write to text function in VGMTool and look to see if there are any "wait 1/60s" commands in the file, or just lots of "wait <some>" commands.

Being sample-accurate isn't inherently wrong, it's just unnecessary and wastes a few KB of bandwidth.

I look it. I compared it with a Moonwalker vgm. Moonwalker has many "Wait: 735 samples (1/60s)" and Shinobi few. Then, Shinobi is sample accurate. Right?

That's it. In a frame-accurate VGM, every wait (except maybe at the beginning and end, if timing wasn't rounded) should be the 1/60 or 1.50 type. In a sample-accurate VGM, there should be none or very few.

WIP update

I leave here the alternate cover.
