Hi, I'm new here, obviously, but I found a file way back with the full Black and White soundtrack (course, they were mp3s), and was wondering if it was possible to put those songs into SoulSilver, cuz when I got them they were in what I believed to be HEX numbers/sequences. If not, crap, if so, tell me please.

Yes, it's possible to do that by porting the sequence data from BW to HGSS. But you will face the problem that the instruments don't sound as in Black and White because of the soundbank. Of course, you can also port the soundbanks from BW, but it's tricky and only for experienced hackers (you will have to do A LOT of work in hex)

Dern, I don't have those. Like I said, this was WAAAY back. I don't even remember where I got them. But could you please send me the sound back for HGSS? I'd really like to try. But I'm stupid (and yes, I have the courage to admit it).

EDIT: Nvm, found the file. God, I'm stupid.

BTW, I'm only trying to replace the Champion's theme in SoulSilver, and..........yeah.

It can easily be extracted from the game ROM using the VGM Trans program mentioned in the first post, by right clicking the needed files and choosing the option to "Save as original format" instead.

I know, I'm just stupid. Also, anyone know how to open up Keyboard View in FL Studio? I'm kinda stuck. Yes, it is demo version, cuz I'm poor.

EDIT: Figured this out, I'm just stupid.

But how do I put it in my game?

So, basically, do this stuff I know I will never be able to do. Great.

O.O Really? OMG THANK YOU!

P.S. I know my posts are getting annoying since I don't how to do this stuff.

You're going to try to make a program to make this easier? Awesome.

how to rplace the music i n the actual game

Chaos Rush January 29th, 2011 9:23 PM

I have a question, would this allow it to be possible to use custom midis? Unfortunately I'm not on my rom hacking computer as I type this, so I can't test this out. This interests me because recently I've been doing some HeartGold hacking.

To my knowledge (and I'm poking a dying thread with a stick) you can't make loop points yet. Other forums have studied this (and I've made a successful Mario DS hack with custom music) and nobody made decent loop points and placed it on the web.

Well, it's also possible to get WAV files to work with a DS, too (SDATs). In fact, some DS games use a totally different music system, which we've yet to figure out.

I've looked through a hex editor, didn't get it.
