Hey all!
I'm new here so pardon my utter noobness.
I've recently resolved to create a Castlevania 1 hack that I will give to my fiance as a wedding gift this December. I'm using YY-CHR to modify the sprites so that Simon is supplemented by the likeness of my fiance (wedding dress and all) and Stake to create a series of new levels. I'd also like to hopefully create unique songs for the game too since I've been tinkering with Famitracker for a couple years, but I know this is probably the most daunting aspect of the project so I'll cross that bridge in a bit.
I digress, though. Here's a very small--but, to my mind, very important--little detail I want to be able to address:
The sample in Castlevania 1 that plays when Simon is damaged is very manly sounding and I want to replace it with a more feminine sample. I'm assuming this sample is stored somewhere in the DPCM bank and is played on that channel. I was hoping there's a way to replace the existing sound with another one.
Has anyone ever tried to do this?
Any insight on the matter would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
