Klax: Klax - Fixed Samples is a modified version of Tengen's NES port of Klax, featuring enhanced audio through corrections of sample encoding issues. Discovered in 2020, the update addresses bit-reversal errors and optimizes sample parameters, resulting in improved sound quality. Key changes include fixed samples, cleared flags, and adjusted offsets to reduce audio delays and distortion.
Tengen's NES port of Klax has a unique soundtrack driven by heavy sample use. However, it was discovered in 2020 that the samples suffered from a common encoding issue known as bit-reversal. This hack corrects these samples to what the composers likely intended. Various sample parameters have also been tweaked to improve the audio experience.
Details:
- All samples have been fixed
- Unnecessary IRQ & loop flags have been cleared
- Sample offset parameter has been tweaked for the snare samples to minimise delay
- Sample length parameter has been tweaked (E.g. no more buzz at the end of the kick sample)
- Initial delta value for samples has been tweaked (E.g. less distortion/clicks on voice samples)
