    Wow, this is an interesting tutorial. This should be helpful for giving hacks a pretty good amount of originality.
    Thanks for writing this, I'll certainly be reading this and memorizing it for my hack.

    how do you find the base destination offset?

    great now Sappy crashes when I try to assemble a song
    Click to expand...

    I've got that problem several times... actually all the time. I dunno why but it's very exhaustive to ask someone else to insert the .s files instead of me. Sappy closes up and the window where says: "Do you wanto... blah blah... the proper table?" doesn't, i mean, It remains there... weird!

    On AmineX's advice... it is sure wrong. Do not delete the "sappy.xml" file at any chance! It is one of important files which actually display song lists for your ROM. If you delete it, you will have to manually add the list, and if you don't know offsets... well, it will be hard.

    Amine, you sound a bit rude sometimes, though it is masked with lack of punctuation and improper grammar. But as I am Slovak (and see pretty similar phrases used also here), I can tell you were... pissed off. Calm down, dude.

    has anyone made a tutorial on voicesets and destination offsets for RSE?
    Click to expand...
    Nope, but lol you're not the first one who's asked and since the demand seems high enough, I'll probably get to working on one soon.

    Also look through the topic before asking questions. Many questions that have already been answered are still being asked because people haven't taken the time to look through the topics. A fix for the the 339 error has already been discussed earlier in the topic.

    i need some help im trying to insert the pokemon diamond titlescreen midi into fire red but i cant

    Be less vague, what do you mean you can't? You can insert anything.

    Um... Let me just say, read my tutorials. This topic is for people who want to learn to do it themselves. No ones gonna do it for you. "I don't have the knowledge" is basically like saying "I'm too lazy to read through your tutorials". If I can do it, if clonex25 can do it, if Zel can do it and if tons of other people can, you can too.

    well, hex editing and scripting go waaay over my head. im gonna try a diffrent approach...
    Click to expand...
    This takes no sort of hex editing or scripting though man, all you need is to downlaod the programs and read the tutorials. The fact that you think hex editing has anything to do with this document tells me you haven't read it yet. Scripting has nothing to do with this either. So my advice, just read the document and try to do it. Once you've tried and something wrong comes up, I'll try and help you, but try it first.

    • Hi again Magnius! I think we've talked on youtube, i'm TarozJallim... whatever.
    I wanted to know the requirements for this program to work. I'm asking because my computer seems to simply not assemblinght the songs. I click on "assemble than ugly thing" and the main window is terminated while the window where you 'assemble' is still "working" and obviously the song is not assembled.

    Look down my list of my threads, you'll find a list of Fire Red's song offsets and such. That should be enough to help you.

    Ok, I learned how to do it, it worked for a while, I learned how to loop them thanks to clonex but now when I try to assemble a .s file i get run time error 53 file can not be found... even the most basic .s file cant be converted. I tried replacing all files for Sappy and Mid2GBA and I don't think it could be Kernal32.dll problems (but what do I know) because I'm not getting the same error message. Please help!

    Awesome!

    That was a great tutorial. I'm a newbie and have like no experience editing music in anything whatsoever. Kudoes to you! The poroblem is that my comp. is really slow, so the songs don't play right in the game. Also, I can't find some of the midi that I need.
    does anyone have a good site name they can tell me to get midis at?
