Reply To: How to bypass MAGMA, if the song is 3 seconds long?
Magma requires 30 seconds that’s how long the preview lasts. However, there are some tricks you can try, all of which require tweaking the CON after Magma compiles it.
You can edit the DTA and change the preview start and stop times, so that the preview is something other than 30 seconds. That way you at least don’t hear all that silence when selecting the song from the song menu.
You can then inject a MIDI with the EVENT track’s [end] marker moved to the appropriate time so that the game will actually stop the song before playing 27 seconds of silence. The game may still behave oddly; I honestly don’t know, but it’s worth a shot.
