Chant is a song that is intended to play during the Best Ending. In between duels, there is a span of silence that should be filled with solemn chanting.

Like many other bugs, this error was fixed for the European releases.

Cause


The cause of this is identical to the "Annallee Bug", the is on the disc, but cannot be played because the CD info in the executable contains a channel/subheader number that was not encoded into the audio's sectors. Read the entry for Annallee's Song for more information.

Fix


A one-byte change is required to modify the channel number in the CD Info array. In the European versions, it appears that Konami simply repacked the data, so that the song was encoded with the expected channel number.
