I'm working on a patch, that will fix the entire soundtrack of the N64 port of Donald Duck Goin Quackers (Quack Attack in Europe), which was ported with many extreme errors and incorrect settings.
The Nintendo 64 version contains a midi-adapted version of the PC and Dreamcast version with fewer, different instruments as well as a slightly different style, slight melody differences, as well as some new songs.
Unfortunately, Ubisoft imported the music into the game in an abnormally faulty way. Almost every instrument is played incorrectly and many notes from the midis are not audible. That's why I'm working on a patch that fixes all these errors so that the music plays as the composer intended.
Even though most of the songs in the PC/Dreamcast are in high quality, the N64 version still has a few songs of its own, and many songs have a different style due to different instruments used. All of which was not as audible as the composer intended until today.
The errors range from wrong sample rates, faulty instruments to countless inaudible midi channels. One of the most notorious errors is that the music is played in a much higher octave.
Pretty much everything that can go wrong with sequenced music went wrong in this game. The converting/importing process doesn't seem to be done by someone who has any idea about sequenced music.
With this patch, the songs will finally be audible as they were intended by the composer.
Here as an example the title music:
This is the High Quality version of the PC/Dreamcast version:
And this is the music in the N64 version.
Notice the missing instruments and the glitchy flute in the background:
This is the fixed version:
