| Technical Notes - Sound |
+-------------------------+
* All the sound effects have been recorded with the emulator NP2FMGEN (np21nt variation) using the following settings:
  * QFM and LPF options disabled.
  * 44k sample rate.
  * PC-9801-118 sound board used.
  * Original PSG setting enabled.
  
* All sound effects have been exported in 16-bit mono PCM format at 44100 Hz in WAV files.

* While recording with NP2FMGEN, the PSG (square wave) channels presented some DC offseting issues. Due of this, all sound effects were recorded as following:
  * The sound effects had their FM and PSG channels recorded separately with NP2FMGEN's wave record option.
  * The PSG channel had their DC offsetting fixed manually in Audacity.
  * The FM and PSG channels were then combined and exported with Audacity.

* As for looping sounds, these have been split in two files (one for the loop's start, and one for the actual looping part).

| Technical Notes - Game |
+------------------------+
* All the sound effects have been obtained and recorded by hacking the game to replace one of the sound IDs used by the options menu.

* Each sound effect is listed based on their internal sound ID, and are labelled based on their in-game usage. For the sounds that aren't used / I couldn't trigger during gameplay, they either have an "(Unused)" tag or are just labelled as "Unknown".

* While sounds 49 - 56 only exist in the data of Schezo's story, sounds 32 - 38 and 57 - 86 are actually present in the game data of all three stories.
  * However, a few of these shared sounds have a few differences between Arle, Rulue and Schezo's stories:
    * 33 - Using Permanent Power Up Item:
	  The version in Arle's story plays at a slower speed compared to the version in Rulue & Schezo's stories.
    * 34 - Using Temporal Power Up Item:
	  The version in Arle's story plays at a slower speed compared to the version in Rulue & Schezo's stories.
    * 35 - Unknown:
	  The version in Arle's story has a PSG channel that was removed in the version in Rulue & Schezo's stories.
	* 38 - Using Dancer's Thunder Item:
	  The version in Rulue's story has a few differences in the noise channel compared to the version in Arle & Schezo's stories.
	* 61 - Bayoen Spell (Unused variant):
	  This unused variant is only present in Arle's story. In Rulue & Schezo's stories, it was replaced with a duplicate of the final Bayoen sound.
	* 69 - Unknown:
	  The version in Rulue's story lasts a bit longer compared to the version in Arle & Schezo's stories.

* Sounds 00 - 31, 39 - 48 and sound 77 are not included here because they are either music tracks or play nothing at all.
  * In the case of sound 61, it wasn't included due to being a duplicate of sound 78 (Bayoen).
