There wasn't much done today at all. Mostly just finished rendering out some possible Rin images that I could use for the foreground since I didn't find ones I liked on my simple google search (not the greatest way to get renders anyways). The only real main thing that was accomplished was making a loop of one of the 8-bit tracks as a test to see what sizes and times I would be working with.
For the specific track I used, the intro including first verses until the repeated first pattern, it ended up being roughly 76 seconds long, pretty much ruling out the idea of maybe having the intro pattern, verses, and then alternate intro pattern loop with a subloop going through the verses and alternate intro pattern.
Since it's been a while, I thought I'd also try out using LoopingAudioConverter again just to see how it works out. As it turns out, the output does indeed work just fine on my 3ds, but I noticed a rather irksome problem with the output in that every single output has a different checksum despite using the same song and the same settings. Possibly it's just some irrelevant metadata type stuff, but having a situation where putting in the same input results in a slightly different output just bothers me. At the same time, there are some options available in LAC that does help make things convenient, such as choosing the sample rate, but at a glance, the program is still confusing.
