Maybe you changed, accidently or not, the header code of the rom and now sappy can't load it.
Can u open it in AM, UnLZ, cyclone etc.?

The code I mean is BPRE, which is the normal one and says the programm: Hello, I'm this version, so load this data.
It can be changed with the header editor or whatever it may be called, or through hex. If it's changed, tools wont recognize which version it is and will say: Unsupportet or Unknown.
So maybe you changed it accidently, I don't know. Just try opening it with other tools.

edit: Download the Rom header editor advance from -hackmew-'s toolbox--> Here

Open the rom, and write BPRE into the game code box.
If there's already BRPE inside..dunno, just delete it and write it again and save.
I hope that's the problem.
It's not the header (I'm working on an Emerald hack btw, not FR). I've had RHEA for some time, but never used it other than to check for this very problem earlier. The header is BPEE just as it should be.
I've already made quite a few changes using all kinds of tools. They all support it just fine.

Maybe the language was a problem.

And @Martin: Yeah you're right with that, but sometimes you already HAVE the newest version of the file, but it keeps showing the error message.
Then it's nor registered and you have to use the regsvr32 command to register it ^^
That was my problem some time ago.

@naturofoxlover: which operator system do you use, XP. 2000 or vista?
Pls tell me what exactly you typed into the box ;)

Well I typed this in the run box and plus I already put the file in the system 32 folder but heres what I typed in: regsvr32 C: \windows\system32\vbalcbex6.ocx and it gave me a stupid message which I put up above. I have windows xp as far as I know.

lol sorry wouldn't know anything about that. You'd probably need something that could extract and insert the Pokemon cries. Then there's all that confusing stuff like length, compression and it would probably be complicated.

Well this is more advance stuff which you'll probably figure out in tutorial 2 of this. Most likely I'd say that the voicegroup you assembled in doesn't support the particular kind of drums you're using OR simply, you're using too many instruments.

For some reason, Verdanturf Music, sounds horrible, at the beginning, but it sounds great in Pokemon Rijon adventures, and I extracted it from Rijon Adventures, so I wouldn't have to fix the one extracted from Ruby. It sounds great passed the beginning.

I noticed that if you insert music over different songs, you get different results. Islands 6-7, anything you insert will sound great on it! I tried editing the song in Advil Studio, but it's still the same. Verdanturf is a good song, by the way, but it is so hard to insert :\

Yup thus is the magic of different voice groups. When inserting something, it's good to replace it with a song that has a lot of the same instruments. Thus is explained more in-depth in tutorial 2.

Oh yeah and I made a new video tutorial of Sappy.

yeah sorry. But whenever it gets approved and posted, it's gonna help out people A LOT with music insertion. Knowing the voicegroups and how to change them will give you a lot more power over how the inserted midi sounds.

You can use both...:\
___________________________
I have this really great Celadon City Remix, listen to it
Lalalala

And I really, just make my own voicegroups, that makes the Ruby music sound better.
I'm having hard time inserting DP music though.
Can't wait for the Voicegroup table of RUBY :D
