Patch:Bio Menace/Music
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
This page covers music-related patches for Bio Menace. Basically, they let one decide which song is played where, at least most of the time.
A warning regarding these
There are chances that, if an actual song is set for the "Startup technical help" or "Startup copyright notice", then a memory leak is in affect! Here is how it could be produced while working on a specific level pack (which is still in progress), for Bio Menace 1, freeware release (v1.1):
1. Set the songs for these to actual songs (i.e. for each of these, the song value is not $FF $FF).
2. Load the level pack and then start a game from the menus.
3. Enable cheats, and then warp to a specific level.
4. Exit to menu and then return to the same game immediately.
The experienced result: Some details from the score box are missing. (The ammo and health details don't appear.)
Note that way more patches are involved in the level pack, so there could always be another cause. The glitch hasn't yet been reproduced while using these song patches only (and nothing else).
