[TUTORIAL] Dmc 3 partial lag fix

Probably should have reposted this sooner XD
The only way to remove the lag caused by the sound engine is to remove music that cuts in on top of other music.
Here's a quick batch utility I made to speed things up. It makes a backup, then remove the files based on a user-supplied list.

http://www.mediafire.com/?itwwmimmqky (Remove the .txt extension if mediafire added one)

And here's the list of problematic files. Copy-paste it into a text file and name it list.txt.
Place both the batch utility and the list in your game folder, then run it.

This will remove most of the mid-level battle music and other troublesome ones, but will leave boss-battle music,cutscene sound, etc. intact. If you get any slowdowns, tell me precisely where and I'll update the list.

Alternatively, I found that defraggling the whole dmc 3 game folder also improves things, without removing the music/sound files.
For folder defraggling you need to download Piriform's defraggler, it's free for home users. Give it a try.

Will this prevent music from starting up for fights? If so that's a very crappy patch and not a proper fix.

Yeah, Battle_ from 05 to 08 are Vergil's mixes and they don't cause any lag for Vergil for me, so don't know why they're listed in patch.

But Torocco.bin does make that cart sequence in mission 10 and 14 laggy.
