KO TAPU DIZZY - Epic Edition

Just a brief update on Ko Tapu Dizzy - Epic Edition.
It is still in the works () - and, I have literally just undertaken my first full(ish) play through (I didn't actually make it to the end because I seemingly picked up the wrong cat).

However...I found over 30 bugs and necessary enhancements, some of which are pretty major (some of which are not). Also - I need to add extra music and sound effects before I can show it to anyone.

My hope is to get it all done in time to release next year as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations..I suspect there will be a few projects in the works for 2027??

Couple of screens...

And now a request for help...
Is this the only Amstrad music that's avilable on Yolkfolk.com?
And if so - does anyone know where I can get the original Amstrad Music from all the other Dizzy Games...or even how you extract the music from Amstrad .dsk files?
Thanks! 👍

Looking good so far.

I'm afraid so, I didn't bother recording the rest of the Amstrad music because of how nearly identical they are to their Spectrum counterparts (apart from the pitch differences obviously).
I used Audacity to record any sound that comes from my laptop to record the music.

@Adam Amazing! I've just been looking stuff up about all this - and had literally just installed Audacity (which I had not heard of until about an hour ago) and begun saving WAV files from WinApe.

It'll maybe take a while, but I'll give it a go and getting us all the CPC versions (like you say - similar to the Speccy versions...and yet somehow far superior )

@Adam - how did you find the loop point? just eyeballing it? Ta!

@OO7Samurai Ah, well Audacity is what I use to record.
But I used an audio editor called GoldWave to cut pieces out so it loops perfectly and save it as an OGG.

Thanks @Adam - I'll take a look at that then!

Hi @Adam ....I'm going mad!! When you say you used GodWave to cut pieces out to make the loops....how!!??!?!?
I've managed to get the Intro and Main music from FastFood (I think) and the long first piece of music from Kwik Snax - but wow...the menu music from Kwik Snax on the CPC - I cannot see the loop point - the whole thing seems to be so many near repeating patterns, and then something that doesn't fit...I've got 6 minutes of it recorded and I can't find the singular start and ends...honestly, I just think it's beaten me
Maybe I need to start with something easier?!

@OO7Samurai GoldWave does take some getting used to, but it's difficult for me to explain.

I find playing the file easier to help pick a point to where to cut from.
Even though I know my way around, it's hard for me to explain how it works because of the way my brain works, describing things has always been one of my weaknesses.

If audio editing is still a real pain, I'll probably do this all myself, it's just finding the time to do it these days.
