Well I put the first in-game song in there (it's in track 2). It's almost complete but I still have to do the drum solos.
The drums play the same 'note' as the regular notes. Here is a translation:
C-2 : 0-#
D#2 : D-#
E-2 : C-# ???
F-2 : B-#
F#2 : A-# ???
G-2 : 9-#
G#2 : 8-#
A-2 : 7-# ???
A#2 : 6-#
B-2 : 5-# ???
C-3 : 4-#
D#3 : 3-#
E-3 : 2-# ???
F-3 : 1-# ???
F#3 : 0-# ???
Meh, I can't find its NSF, so I am now directly reading the I/O changes with an emulator... I love FCEUX.
How do you do that in FCEUX?
1. Dump a clean ROM. Yes, I have Cheetah Men 2 and Action 52.
2. Get FCEUX 2.1.4a (the latest version although any emulator with such function will work).
3. Go to [Debug] --> [Hex Editor].
4. You are on your own to find the correct addresses of the I/O part.
Except often you have to find a seperate address that tells whether a note is on or not. For example in Bossa Nova's noise channel, the address reads 5 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 but another hex tells the game to not play the 3 2 1 0 part. Once again, you need enough patience and enthusiasm to get things accurate.
Well, I don't know anything about ROM dumping. Do you think you can get the voice for me? It's only 3 or 4 volumes that loop. Something like 15 14 13 12. I tried looking for the I/O address and I'm not sure but I THINK it's 000760, 001760, or 001F60 since they move with the tempo and stop when they aren't playing.
Also, how do I know what volume it's telling me? I'm only seeing the numbers go up and up and they do that for all channels.
No. The voice (most likely) uses the Mapper 228's feature, so the only way to rip it into DPCM is to record a WAV and then use Redmc/dmcconv.
You know, Action 52 is the biggest NES ROM ever. Some said that the maximum is 512KB (Megaman 6), Kirby's Adventure reaches 768KB and Action 52 reaches 2MB just because of the samples.
When you are at the password screen after the triangle plays a few notes, you will hear the two square channels come in. There is a sound that uses the duty cycle of 12% (not the 25% one). It sounds like the envelopes are repeating. That's the one I want. I will be grateful if you can get it for me or show me how to get it.

Apologies for thinking that you are trying to rip the voice from Action 52.
Hey don't worry about it. You've helped me a lot on here and I want to thank you for that. Also, I don't have the actual Dirty Harry NES cartridge. I was going to get it online but instead I got Uninvited (Japanese version). Also, I don't think I have any ROM ripping tools, and furthermore if I can afford any because I don't have a job.
