Basic Concept

Import 20 songs from FF Mystic Quest to give FFV a “Bonus OST” version

FF:MQ has 26 songs, so this represents 3/4 the soundtrack 😹

Overall Plan

1. learn how songs are encoded in SNES Hi-Rom and Lo-Rom file systems
2. find utility to cut and paste specific code that makes up a single track
   1. HxD seems capable; maybe Mesen could work, too?
   2. calculate how much memory this takes in the Hi-Rom unused space (Bank F??)
3. learn how to use event code to trigger pointers to new songs
   1. and play them
   2. Cubear has experience thanks to MSU-1 hacking
