Magnius Guide to Pokemon Music Hacking

[lokai20]

i am trying to make a ruby hack that replaces the gym leader battle theme with the legendary dog battle theme. The legendary dog battle theme is already in the ruby game but i have no idea how to change it

Is there a Ruby Voicegroup offsets list?

Well, you could simply export the tracks from that tune (Somewhere near 358) and then import into the gym leader space (which is 460). Couldn't be easier.

I have a bunch of questions, I hope somebody on the board responds soon.
#1: How do I get Sappy Working? I am able to have it open, but when I go to load a ROM first it asks if I want to scan for a song table. Then if I select a song from the ROM and press PLAY the program closes!

#2: Would I be able to ADD songs to the GBA Pokemon ROM file and not replace them.

#3: Say I could ADD music and not replace it; how would I set a MAP in the Pokemon ROM to USE the NEW MUSIC?

I am using Windows XP, latest Service Pack. (I think it is Service Pack 3)

Alright, does ANYONE have a version of Sappy 1.0.1, or can provide a link that isn't broken? Since the link to TheHelmetedRodent thing is dead.

If it wouldn't be too much to ask (if you do have 1.0.1) could you upload it or .rar it please?

Thank you.

When I click the "Assemble this ugly thing" button,

The error message looks like this:

Error #1002, "Syntax error"

On line: "byte &Hbc -- Diamond & Pearl- Trainer Battle_key+0"


What do I need to do to make it work ?

THIS MAKES NO SENSE! I don't under stand how you inport music!


" Importing music from one Pokemon GBA game to another is easy. First open the Pokemon GBA game you want music from like for instance, if I wanted to take music from Ruby and put it in Fire Red, I would open Ruby. Then I'd simply select the song I want to put into the other game and go to export tracks. Once you're in the export tracks window, check all the tracks, type "$T" in the second box and all your tracks will be exported to numbered files(1, 2, 3, 4, 5 you get the point). After that, open the game you want to insert the music into and find the track you want to replace. After that choose import tracks and import the numbered tracks you dumped and press okay. Congrats, you've successfully taken music from one GBA Pokemon and inserted it into another."

My Sappy Won't work and what am i supposed to open my emerald with, Sappy?

 

[ggctuk]

Okay, Sappy does not work for me either. I've even tried the Vista "Fix". I just cannot import anything.

[humanguy2000]

Ok... I need help! I insert the track with the assemble song and it works. I play the game and it freezes just before the music starts. So I did the export tracks and import tracks thingy and I open the unmodified ROM that I did import on. I get to that bit of music but I get no sound, even on full volume. Help me please!

 

[Shiny Quagsire]

One question: How do you loop music? I tried the link and it isn't there.

 

[Mr. Magius]

When I open Sappy I get this message:

Rune-time error '339':

Component 'vbalCbEx6.ocx' or one of its dependancies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

I've converted the to the .s file properly, but that's all I can do...

I think it's telling you that vbalCbEx6.ocx is missing from your computer. You need to download that file I guess. But I don't know where to put it.

 

[thedgr05]

What other offsets are ok to use, I already used 0xEB0B20 some please help!!!! im new at this!!!

 

[Xirr0]

Are there any other tools for inserting music into games other than Sappy? I downloaded it and it keeps crashing.

 

[Nikolai Fox]

I also cannot use Sappy :/

Hello everyone, I am using Sappy 2005 and did this tutorial with no problem. No errors, nothing...
Except one problem, that I've had with every single song I've tried to add.

I wanted to change the "Help Me!" song, and when I listened to it, instead of playing my song, it played the Introduction (Game Freak Logo and stuff) theme. Can someone help me?

Thanks.
