Authors
Packed by myst6re.
FFNx uses the OpenPSF project to play PSF files.
Thanks to Neil Corlett for in_psf.dll and PSF files.
Thanks to Christopher Snowhill for its implementation of foo_psf.
concert-* tracks were created and converted to minipsf by myst6re from Neil Corlett PSFs.
Notable improvements (thanks to FFNx)
- A music is now paused before a battle (or a Triple Triad card game) and resumed after to the right time
- Music pause/resume is also implemented in field maps
- Music intro is skipped the second time
- Better volume changes
Known issues
- [Fixed in FFNx 1.11.x] The intro of the landing is playing on GGU battle
- [Fixed in FFNx 1.11.x] Horizon Concert does not work properly, remove "concert-" prefix from "concert-*.minipsf" files to fix this
- [Fixed in FFNx 1.9.x] Volume changes and music stops are sometimes a little abrupt, track the issue here
- [Fixed in FFNx 1.9.x] FFNx 1.8.x have performances issues when external_music is on
- FFNx 1.7.2 currently crashes when use_external_music is enabled in FF8. Use FFNx 1.8+ instead.
- [only FFNx 1.7.x] The Landing always starts with the intro. Workaround: replace psf/joriku2.minipsf by a OGG file
- [only FFNx 1.7.x] Instruments in the Horizon concert are currently not replaced. Native Midis will be used for all possible combination
- [only FFNx 1.7.x] Resuming music after battle can take few seconds sometimes
Changelog
- v1.5: Removing files for FFNx 1.7.x, adding F.H. concert files, adding music skip configuration
- v1.4: Adding required file for FFNx 1.8.x+.
- v1.3: Renaming gargade.minipsf (Galbadia Garden University, with intro) to gargarde.minipsf.
- v1.2: Easier installation. Adding french README.
- v1.1: Official release
- v1.0: Beta release
Alternatives
- Roses And Wine: Original Music (OGG format). The best alternative so far, but you need to download a bigger archive
- PlayStation Music Mod from Biggs: MIDIs recreated more closely to the original sound
