Hmm... strange, don't know what the problem is. I have XP and Sappy assembles for me. Only problem is occassionally when I assemble sometimes it gives me an error, but that can be fixed by reopening Sappy.

Well lol no offense man, but I can see why he wouldn't approve it. The informations all good, but it's a bit disorganized and full of spelling errors.

You can get that particular missing VB thing here...

Just download the zip and extract it to your Sappy folder.
 
Um... does anyone know if there is a chance to make Sappy 2006 (1.2) support Windows Vista? Well, I have managed to make it run, but it crashes when you want to open a file. Any help appreciated. For other Vista users experiencing this problem: Till there is a solution (it may not come at all), use Sappy 1.0.1. You need to install Sappy 1.0 first, and then download ZIP file with Sappy 1.0.1 and replace the executable. It works smoothly.
 
So how long does assembly take? I have been waiting like 5 minutes
 
normally, it should take some seconds xD

er...now I have a problem too.
With sappy (05?) I was never able to play the music, I was just able to import/export/assemble.
Now I downloaded sappy 06, I was able to play the sounds! (yeah..happy!).
But then I tried assembling a song---> crash!
I thought..okay, maybe it's too long. But then I tried a 2 track-song and it crashed again!
it doesn't matter which song I choose, sappy crashes when assembling.
So I wanted to assemble the song via sappy 05, which always worked before.
You may have guessed: Now it crashes if I try to assemble.

I've read through this thread to look at all the errors and possiblilties for crashin, but..it's not the song.
And I've read about the possibility that my kernel32.dll has crashed?
How can you recognize that, since I see it in my system32 folder but dunno if it's okay.

So..what can I do now?
I'm quite depressed since I finally understood how to loop songs, but now I can't even try it out...

You may have associated the S file with your text editor (Checking the "Always use this program to..."). You may download some kernel32 fixing tool, but if anything goes worse, you should re-install Windows (which is a bit frustrating).
 
Ô.o
okay, thx for your help.
If I can't find a fixing tool for kernel32.dll or something goes wrong, I'll just re-install.
Than my computer may be much more clearly arranged xD
I could save files in a folder of our network, so it's not a problem..
thx, I think it's the best to simply reinstall now xD
 
After i assemble when I click the play button the program creashes now...
 
try it ingame, I was never able to play music in sappy but it assembled and played ingame.

That could also be because the track is too long, or because it has to many instruments.
sappy wont assemble all files correctly, try another and see if it still crashes.
But first, simply test if it plays ingame xD
 
i have a problem... when i'm assembling the song... after to finish... and press the button "uggly" or something like that... xD... appears this message... "Can't find file "MPlayDef.s" for inclusion. Assembly halted."... any ideas!!! ??? xD
 
I had the same problem, the file MPlayDef.s has to be in the same folder like the .s file you try to assemble. If you place it there, it'll work ;)
 
Look in the internet, google will help you if you type in "sappy helmeted rodent" ^^

Step 3 - Getting the file to work in game
So now you've assembled the file and it plays in Sappy, but you see that it doesn't play in game. Well slow down there guy, there's still a ways to go before we can get the file playing in game. Now that you've assembled the file we're going to export the tracks. In order to do this, go to "Export Tracks". You'll then see a bunch of unchecked boxes which are basically the offsets of the tracks, check all of them. In the 2nd box, you can either put $T or $P, don't know worry too much about what they mean, for this tutorials sake just type in "$T". After that click on "Ok". The songs tracks will now be dumped to your folder and since you picked "$T" the tracks will be numbers like one tracks file name will be 0, the next tracks file name will 1, it's pretty simple. So after that close out Sappy and reopen it. Now that you've reopened Sappy, open the unmodified Pokemon Fire Red rom and find the song you modified in other rom, which should be "Pokemon Theme" in the case of this tutorial. Now go to "import tracks" and check all the "numbered" files, which are basically the tracks we dumped earlier. Next to the "First track" box basically type in an offset where there's a lot of free space, for the sake of this tutorial just put "0xEB0B20" there. Then press OK. Now open up your emulator, open up the rom you just modified and you'll see that the song works in game. Congratulations, you've done your first successful music hack.

Well to start, does the song play in Sappy? If not, there's your problem. And second off, be more specific, what ISN'T working? Is it not playing in the game, is it not exporting them? If you want me to help you with the problem you have to be more specific about it. But yes, generally, if it actually plays in Sappy and you did all that it should work. Another thing is try closing out Sappy after assembling, THEN open it back up and try to export the files. After that you should be able import the track to the backup rom and it'll work. And if the problem is you can't FIND the exported tracks, you can do something like "C:\PokemonHack\$T" to make SURE the files get dumped where you want them to.
