Sengeki Striker

1997 game made by Warashi (the creator of
Shienryu), and published by Kaneko. Released
only in Japan. Suprisingly, this is my first
VGM rip using YMZ280B.

This game roughly translates to "Battle
Striker" or "Battle Dramatic Striker"
according to arcadeitalia.

Once you've finished the game, there's another
round called "Special Round" where game
mechanics are the same, but increasing
difficulty. Occured in stage 6-10.

This VGM pack is different from the sound test
in the original arcade version, where looped
musics are cutted early.

Some of the looped musics are cutted due to
aforementioned overclocking. CPU and YMZ
overclocking didn't help, so that's why. To
play the cutted part, I searched the loop
command that causes the sample to play early
and hex-edited the VGM wait commands to play
only single music sample, then manual looping
if it's working. And suprise, suprise!!

It works!!

Special thanks to BoxCubed, and
YMZ280B.c from libvgm helping me
figuring out what's the cause.


Warning: This VGM pack uses ADPCM streams to
play the musics, and seeking does not working
properly. So, download at your own risk!!
