Ok I know SOMEONE must know – Konami SSQ (DDR) files

Fri ,02/01/2009

Update:

I managed to reverse engineer this completely myself but thanks anyway for everyone who tried to get help for me :)

I’ll post file specs soon.  As I mentioned in the earlier notes there seems to be either a hole in the file format or a bug in the iPhone engine.. this is regarding freeze notes.  Which seem to be fine in any form however if you have a freeze note at the same time as a normal arrow, this seems to cause problems, I tried various workarounds to fix this on Flowers heavy, but to no luck.  I managed to just get it working with a single freeze note.

If anyone wants I’ll be happy to provide the modded .ssq with the ‘fixed’ freeze arrow if you want to try it on your iPhone.  Of course, it goes without saying, you will need to be jailbroken to use it.

2009 Brings a New Blog for a New Year

Thu ,01/01/2009

Happy New Year! Welcome to the new blog.  This will replace my LiveJournal as a public blog – but the LJ will still remain.

Let me kick it off with something I created from 2007 – so you might have heard this already.  It’s an arrangement of Auld Lang Syne which is mostly trance, but spontaneously breaks off into Orchestra, bagpipes, “Ambient Skies“/”Hizara Dungeon” style, chiptune, and eurobeat.

And with that, another song from more recent days (last week actually).  This is my first real attempt at trying to do an ambient track.  Comments and criticism, as always, are not only very welcome but valueable =)

… And about Earthquake? We’ll discuss later.
