Hack description

This is a small hack for the SNES game Super Earth Defense Force to drop the volume of a couple sound effects. Specifically, the "enemy taking damage" sound effect has been dropped considerably, and the "enemy death" sound has been dropped slightly.

These sounds are annoyingly loud for the frequency at which they are played, and drown out the music (for a game with a pretty decent soundtrack) almost entirely.

The enemy shot sounds were left alone for now, because they are heard way less often, and it's generally more important to know when they happen vs. the ones that were actually changed.

You might need to play the original first to notice the difference in sound volume of the changed SE. Once you do tho the change is quite apparent. Finally you can jam out to the level 1 theme like intended. I highly recommend this hack.
