Notes:
This pack was made using XM6 Pro-68k build
version 140316 (http://goo.gl/lnuA88).
Songs were ripped from the Music Gallery
menu. This is quite a naughty game.

via the PC98 List on Hoot, it is unknown who
did the arrangements for EX, if any of the
original three composers did at all.

Postscript (10 years later...):

Let's go through the changes point by point, as
there is a lot to go through...


> Songs were ripped from the Music Gallery menu

Unfortunately, there were some songs that were
not included in the Music Gallery, such as the
unused tune also present in the 88/98 versions,
and alternate arrangements of Masaharu Iwata's
themes. They are now included in the pack, with
thanks to Boxcubed for ripping them.


> Mokomoko = Sakimoto

Turns out MKM Hirota isn't Hitoshi Sakimoto. He
is credited in other Custom games in roles that
Sakimoto never took (such as scenario writer in
Chip-chan Kick), among various other telltale
signs (and Furukawa saying as such on Twitter).


> it is unknown who did the arrangements for EX

They're in the credits, under OPM ARRANGE: it's
Furukawa and Waiendee (who we presently do not
have the identity of). We still don't know what
songs were done by who, but it's a start.
