Hack description

This patch simply stops the pinch music from playing when the Panels reach the top of the screen.
This is especially more useful when you want to hear Cordelia's thematic normal theme in all of its
glory during a match in a game of Panel de Pon.

Use the patch of your choice with a non-headered rom via Lunar IPS.
The patch for TA's Europe and Us versions are on the same location so its only just one patch.

Vastly improves the multiplayer experienceNaOH2021-07-21Version 1.0

One of my biggest complaints with Tetris Attack / Panel de Pon has been that the music keeps resetting when it enters and exits "pinch" music mode. It makes it hard to hear some of the longer themes, especially when playing on the higher difficulty levels in multiplayer.

It could be neat to have a version of the hack which plays the pinch music (instead of the non-pinch music) during round three of three, so that the pinch music isn't entirely removed.
