Question Switching Music Files in Lemmings

So back in the day I had a copy of Lemmings for Amiga that was cracked by Skid Row and had the "giga trainer" by Ice and Caddy. This particular copy did not have the very particular violin-like instrument that plays in a couple of songs (the ones for Fun level 2 and Fun level 10). I've found an image of that exact copy of the game, but for some reason those songs are totally messed up in the UAE emulator, instead of being silent, that instrument just sounds corrupted.


I found another copy of Lemmings, one with a totally different trainer, and THAT copy has the violin properly muted out. That version of the two songs is the one I'd like to hear most of the time, since I'm a sucker for things that were like they were back in the day. Would it be possible to say... copy the "corrected" music files from the second copy over to the Skid Row/Betrayal copy? Also, just for completeness, would it be possible to copy those music files onto a WHDload install of Lemmings? That is, of course, if the music are in some type of "file" format, I never really ever used Amigas for anything other than games, so the directory structure of things is still kind of a mystery to me.

Just download this fixed disk 2 from here and the violin sound should be correct. The corrupt violin happens on real harware also so not just UAE for reference.

Ah, thanks! I could've sworn I had tried using a "fixed" disk two and still having the corruption, but maybe it has to be a very specific disk two.

I know I didn't have the corrupted sound sample on original hardware way back when. Maybe I should go back and try to make a dump of my personal disks and see if the problem still persists in UAE.

Anyway, just to satisfy my curiosity, is there any way to then use these fixed sound samples in a WHDLoad install? Admittedly I've never tried producing an install myself, so maybe it's easier than I think.

EDIT: I just realized what you meant by "fixed" after I loaded it up in WinUAE. I don't want the violin sound at all, I want it muted, since that's how I remember the songs. I have another copy of the two disks, cracked by Skid Row (although missing their intro) and trained by "The Rasta Catcha" with their Lemmings Mega Trainer +20. These two are in ADF format and called Lemmings_Disk1 and Lemmings_Disk2, so I can't divine where I got them from or who made them. When I use these two disks in WinUAE, the violin sound is absent like how I want it. But if I try to mix and match, like say have Lemmings (1990)(Psygnosis)[cr SKR](Disk 1 of 2)[t +10 PNS - Betrayal].adf in DF0 and Lemmings_Disk2.adf in DF1, then the violin sound breaks and I hear static. The fastest way to test is to start a new game on Taxing, since Taxing level 1 plays a song that has the violin.
