Try this code:

Public Function ReadStuff(ByVal offset As Long, ByVal count As Long) As String
    Dim sFileName As String
    Dim bReadData() As Byte
    Dim iFreeFile As Integer

    iFreeFile = FreeFile()
    sFileName = "myfile.file"
    Open sFileName For Binary As #iFreeFile
        Seek #iFreeFile, offset + 1
        ReDim bReadData(0 To count - 1) As Byte
        Get #iFreeFile, , bReadData()
    Close #iFreeFile
    ReadStuff = StrConv(bReadData, vbUnicode)
End Function

I've tested it under Visual Basic 6.0

Wow, was it really that long since I was confused? Wow, I was so pathetic back then! Anyway, I've inserted A song. I want to see how well it works. Hmmm... Well, how do you use the songs? I've inserted them.

This will help me a lot, since sappy doesn't run on wine (linux), and this tool does :D
Will you make it open source?

Will this have a MIDI edition? I only have MIDI's & no file that the tool needs. That ELF thing, izit?

I have not been on PokeCommunity for such the longest while, like, 3-4 years lol.

I'm actually a music producer myself, and I used to hack pokemon ruby back in like, 2008 (not for music hacking, but advance mapping). I have fiddled with Sappy once but never really had the feel to really use it for anything. After seeing what you have created. I may give this one a shot. Will be looking forward to the full version of the app. Any chance there is a tutorial located here based on SongInserter Advance?

I want to get back into pokemon hacking again and teach myself some more things that I haven't learned throughout the years. It's definitely exciting, and challenging but I believe its all worth it. For the love of pokemon lol.

To all,

Ahh, i love you guys thanks for the positive feedback.
Unfortunately, because of the roadblock i've hit this project therefore (read on)

Ok guys lemme tell you about my Visual Basic skills. I learnt Visual Basic when i had NO INTERNET (:O shocking isnt it). No guides. No people to assist me. I looked at all the lines of code for Hackmew's apps, and that taught me how to program a little. It's been a hard road for me trying to finish this app. With little to nothing, VB6 experience i looked into .Net, and found that it looked more difficult then Vb6 so i kinda avoided it.
I honestly wish i could've finished finished this app and released it, but sorry guys, thats a no go.

So without further ado, i release the source code for SongInserter Advance.

The source is a bit unorganized as it contains all the shrapnel of ideas and possible future addons that i left behind.
I really dont want to see this project go to hell, so can someone please bring project into working form and keep it as close as possible to the original thing.

Thanks guys, and peace!
