Wait, I'm not so sure about that one any more. ...I'm sleepy.

#<code>/User/Totaka/BgmList_*.txt</code> are files for every area in the game.

At first glance, they definitely look like the songs (the .cnd files) that the game should use for each sublevel in each cave. But then you start noticing stuff like how the [[Emergence Cave]]'s second sublevel should play a metallic sublevel song, according to the US version's files. The only conclusion I reached is that the game does not use these files and must be getting its sublevel music data elsewhere. So I tried changing them. And the game refused to load. So... is it using the files, but ignoring their content? I honestly don't know. Also, to note is that this includes the songs used on [[newtest]] too. ...I suppose. | ||

#<code>/User/Totaka/StreamList.txt</code> seems to be the map between streamed music and its ID. It also includes the volume of each track, but this might be wrong, because the values are crazy. Some tracks have 60, others have 100. Would they really create the tracks with such wild volume changes that they'd need a configuration file in the final game to balance it? | #<code>/User/Totaka/StreamList.txt</code> seems to be the map between streamed music and its ID.
