Re-equalized track

Because of the GBA's 8bit audio DAC, I had to perform a lot of equalization to get the track to sound right. After listening to it a lot more and comparing to the original, I realized I wasn't doing it justice and started the equalization process from scratch; sounds a lot closer to the original now. May have gone overboard on the bass, though...

Latest build

Hadn't intended to update on here any further, but made a major breakthrough in quality. Additionally, new interface should look more slick.

Rebuild with latest source/tools

Quality improvements from new a quantizer selection strategy. Not all /that/ noticeable in this demo (especially from an integer DCT), but more high-frequency bands are kept now, making things sound 'clearer'.

Rebuild with latest source/tools

  • Fixed a bug that might've caused audio glitching when Timer1 interrupt was interrupted by VBlank interrupt
  • Minor improvements to quantizer optimization in encoder
  • Micro-optimizations in DCT-II/DCT-IV routines
