[quote name='Z-Saber']Forgot to mention one other gripe. Maybe it's just me, but when I played SotN back in the day, I changed the buttons around. I had the backdash/special button as L1 and right hand (shield) set to R1. Even though this version has an option to change the buttons in-game, and also updated button icons, it does nothing. I changed the buttons, confirmed, and returned to play with no change in configuration. I also went back to the menu to make sure I had actually set it... and I did. I also saved, quit, and reloaded to find that my configuration was still saved yet not working.
Anyone encounter this bug?
By the way, for those of you who agree with me (and zew) that the music is lower quality and hard to hear, whip (teehee) out your MP3 player/streaming equipment and use the original soundtrack as background music. It sounds significantly better.
Also, for those who are disappointed by the lack of 5.1/widescreen, you can sort of fix it. For surround, as with just about any other non-surround audio source, you can use Dolby Pro-Logic settings to fake surround. Playing around with it a bit, PLII Music sounds terrific, especially when using the OST's MP3s. The music is so deliciously echo-ey that PLII Music creates a very fulfilling surround image.
For widescreen... well, stretching it is an obvious fix, but the best thing you can really do is just make the screen bigger overall, yet not out of ratio and fat looking. I adjusted vertically as far as it would go and stretched horizontally by approximately the same amount, keeping the original ratio as best as possible while filling more of the screen.
Still having fun, though still missing my $10 since I could have played the same exact thing for free.[/QUOTE]
So I wasn't the only one who noticed the crappy-ish sound quality?
Oh, and noticed another small issue -- in the side of the Castle (when there's rain), the rain cuts out briefly when you change screens. I don't think that was the case with the PS1 version. Again, small difference. Very small. The audio quality hurts though.
