I don't know why, but the music seriously feels recyled - the some melody part has a heavily striking resemblence to Tales of Destiny 2's battle theme (guess it's Sakuraba again), hasn't it?

Yep, I agree with ye. But they obviously used some music from the first parts. Just remixed them with different instruments.

In the last two days I've done Sol Sanctum to Altin Peak but I'm sure I won't be able to keep that pace up. I already finished the first one years ago but I never got around to completing the second one. I thought I better play both to refresh my memory as it's essentially one game on two cartridges. Where some games say 'Insert Disc 2', Golden Sun says 'Fuck off and buy Disc 2'. I never was happy about that. Then again, I didn't pay for them so who am I to complain?

All of Sakuraba's music sounds very similar. I don't think he's a good composer really.

praying for this game to work on no$gba

Desmume... for the love of god use Desmume!

Pray it works even on Desmume, with all the new anti piracy protection implemented nowadays. Besides that, Desmume requires a fairly decent computer. It runs most games flawlessly. But the cost is speed. You need a really good CPU to get fullspeed on some of the more stressful games. Even on a high clocked Athlon II, i got some slowdowns occasionally in Dragon Quest IX. The computer i'm currently using (Core i7 laptop) gets similar performance. No$gba on the other hand plays most games at fullspeed even on slower older PC's. It is old, outdated, and abandoned, but its speed is high and requirements low.

I haven't heard any songs for Dark Dawn that caught my ear yet (though i've only heard the battle theme and one or two others). But i will defend the GBA games by saying that both games had some truly great sounding music. Specifically-
- Every normal battle theme (GS1, GS2, Jenna's, on board the ship)
- Saturos' battle theme
- Kolima Forest theme
- Venus lighthouse
- Elemental Stars theme
- Soul Sanctum
- Madra Catacombs
- Airs Rock
- Aqua Rock
- Tundaria Tower
- Jupiter Lighthouse
- most of the world map themes

I liked most of the music in the Golden Sun games. Probably the best music i've heard in any GBA game. I actually think the music is better in general than the Tales series.

Air's rock is the best music i've heard in GS. Overall i thought the music was majestic, kinda like an orchestra and I was thinking
"did they record music with Gregorian Chant (singing group) and miyamoto's orchestra here??". It was AWESOME.
But then I played Star Ocean Last Hope and the music was pretty much similar. Especially the battle theme.
I liked the way they put sound per syllable that characters speak during cutscenes.

buruburuburu buru buruburu.
tihithihithitihitihi, tihihitihi!
buru buru! (shaking text)

Camelot managed to push the GBA's graphic power (and pretty much every aspect) to the limit before, but for Dark Dawn, i've seen better.

but it's Goldensun so I'm gonna play it regardless.
