It's just typing over them. Typing in files with HxD overwrites whatever you were currently on.(unless you highlighted a bunch of stuff,or hit backspace) So for example,if you go to stad,and start typing in mesa,stad will be overwritten.

Sure thing. In the main tab,checking "Do not notify on task switch" is a must. Strange things happen when you click out of the game. In the Hook tab,under "Son process hook" I have "Extend Hook" selected. And under "Hook flags" I have Hot patch(obfuscated IAT) checked. I did check almost everything in the Video tab under "Window handling",but I don't think it does anything.

I use DXWnd to run the game windowed. Couldn't figure out any way to do it from the EXE. It does cause some very minor UI alignment issues on the right side,but it works.

There is another way to access the two tracks. Open the sdaemon in your hex editor of choice(If you don't have one I recommend HxD),and scroll down to address 33B9EC. You should see "mesa....stad....swis....volc....lop1....egyp....lost....bnus....mmes....msta....mswi....mvol....mlop....megy....mlos....bnsr....cnyn...." Alternatively,if you use HxD you can press Ctrl+G,type in the address there,and it will take you right to it. Another alternative is that you can Ctrl+F,type in stad,and it will take you there. This bunch of four letter strings is the track pointer code list that the game looks at when selecting a track in the menus. In fact you should be able to make a copy of the sdaemon and keep it in the same folder if you want. I definitely would recommend doing so anyways for backup purposes. Back to the track pointers,the first one on the list,mesa,is Thunder Mesa,and a bit down the list,mvol,is Volcano Island Flipped. Just overwrite one of the tracks you can select to mesa/mvol. I wouldn't mess with any of the periods or move anything,that will certainly mess something up. If you do mess something up,Ctrl+Z will be your friend. If you did it right,the track select will reflect this change and you can play the tracks. By the way,ignore bnus and bnsr. The game doesn't normally load those. The cnyn at the very end of the list,I don't believe the game normally loads either.
