... why didn't you tell us that you could crack roms BEFORE now?

*hands up* my fault

also, after 4th block there in no sound, only noise.

do you think you would be able to track down the models?

Are you saying that we could possibly change the sounds?

not necessarily the music itself, but the instrument samples, yes. MAYBE.
and if that is possible, then we could potentially move on to models, level maps etc.

look what i found!

... mini me... if you can decipher that, and put it into practice, you will instantly be promoted to dev team status XD

working on it sir.

EDIT: my big mistake, barrel roll is after 0x400000 but it's too fast to hear properly. i have to listen to that many times

just try your best, if you can find the instrument samples try replacing them with another sample, heck, try replacing a voice sample and see if that works. if it does, we've just made a major break through!

PM me and tell me exactly how you cracked a Rom file.

it is very easy to use, load roms up, click sounds tab, click play, there you go

Good luck on the music/sound hacking! It'd be soo cool if you guys could get something working!

Hey look! a sign of life in the music department! it's only a work in progress and it's pissing me off, but i think so far it's coming together quite nicely! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Wow, that sounds so awesome! Really great stuff man, you do that all yourself? You should definitely make more!

And just to be clear, are we able to put in music yet or is that yet to be figured out?

err we have yet to figure that out. as previously stated we've managed to extract the rom, but we haven't actually been able to read the files within it...

list of things i'm waiting to happen

- sound chip ram viewer
- a way to view file-system (like gamecube gcm extractor)
- freaking assembly class to show up in my school

1 would be enough, 2 would make us all happy, 3...meh.

btw littlefox did you have any luck locating all of the sound bytes?

too bad, not yet.

i searched in 1 mb block, then 100 kb ( 1 mb samples give general direction ), then 10 kb, looks like music is some kind of MIDI, maybe hardcoded/procedurally generated as i can't find them anywhere. on the other hand, sound effects and voice is pcm (wav) with motion data hardcoded into sound file.

our hope is
1) someone with high coding skills (don't look at me people) figured it out.
2) big N shows us how it works (not in a lifetime)
3) we got source code and compiler (get that out of big N is another story)
4) we remade the whole game, out of scratch.

i find option 4 most promising, then 1, 3, 2 respectively.

Here's a treat guys! THE CREDITS!!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

oh come on do you guys never listen to this stuff? here's AREA SIX

To be honest... I dislike the drums !

IMO Drums should be lower, or not present at all.
With that corrected i think it should sound better

No, no drums would suck. Just, it currently doesn't sound like drums, it sounds like somebody is kicking a random object.
I think it's because of the program. Yet the rhythm is not so appealing either.

I'm still trying to fix the kinks in it but yes you are right. the one i used was a snare sample. where your wrong though is i'm not using filtered midi's i AM using samples. but just not a huge library of them like DZ happens to have XD i think i'm limited to about 30 different instruments spanned across all the classes of them lol. I can try using a standard concert kit to do it but it won't sound like a snare drum at all... but i'll mess around with it and i might get something working. i have however finished a few other ones in the mean time

The Starfox Theme (redone since my old one sucked)
Boss A
Map of Lylat

Which one of these would you guys like to hear first?
