MIDI Option#

MIDI option as the difficulty.

The MIDI option, which was an unused music option in the trial version, still has its text present. This time, however, the text is not listed in the music options at all.

Using a hex editor, modify the first value in miko.cfg to 06 and the last value to 0F (the last value should only be changed to 0F if miko.cfg has the default settings) to change the difficulty to MIDI(sc-88) in the options menu.

Considering how this text was completely removed from the music options in the final version, it is likely that Lotus Land Story wasn't going to have MIDI music. Even though the trial version had this text within the music options, it was not accessible without modifying miko.cfg, and even then, there wasn't any MIDI music.

Be sure to backup your save file (gensou.scr) if you try this, as there is a chance that it will get corrupted if you go into high score menu or start the game with this option.

Music#

Gensokyo ~ Lotus Land Story#

The version of Gensokyo ~ Lotus Land Story, the game's title theme, included as part of Akyu's Untouched Score vol.1 is arranged differently. Other than the lower pitch, the drumset is modified as well as some instruments being mixed differently. It is not known whether this is a deliberate rearrangement or just an older version of the track.

Bad Apple!!#

The SSG0 and SSG1 channels of Bad Apple!!'s FM26 (YM2203) version play much quieter than they do in the FM86 (YM2608) version, to the point of almost being inaudible. This oddity remains unchanged in the sequel's music room, but wasn't the case in this game's trial version.
