Shockingly, safe for work!

One of three in a shuffle, along with some earlier walls.

In a word, no.

The examples you mentioned, aside from being for a SNES and Genesis game respectively, had conversion programs written for their specific music engines and/or game-specific musical quirks.

To my knowledge, there is no conversion program that takes MIDI music and poops out something "to be inserted into a rom hack". If only because different games, series and/or developers have different music engines, each with their own data formats.

To come back to your examples, SMW uses the N-SPC music engine (IIRC an earlier version, causing incompatibilities with later Mario games), while Squaresoft games use their own engine, if I remember correctly. Sonic the Hodgepodge uses... whatever it's called, of which there are several minor variants found in various games -- Michael Jackson's Moonwalker uses the same engine, but with a different pointer format or whatever. And on the GBA and DS, most games developed in Japan use a single music engine that comes with the development kit.

But yeah. There's no catch-all method to convert MIDI files to "NES music to be inserted into a rom hack".

Plus, Famitracker does not equal "insertable in a rom hack".

Thanks for the admission there, HTH. I really think you should learn how to program in general before entertaining the notion of programming a hacking tool.


Oh, and Kioku is seriously wrong, but justifiably so.

No, you were in fact wrong. You started with "I think how you reference things in C++", but then proceeded with an ASM-ism.

$, 0x and &H are just different languages' ways to identify a given number as being hexadecimal. $F00D is not and will never be a valid numerical value in C(++).

And Hamtaro only compounds the problem: what you're talking about is the syntax for a given assembly language. To the actual processors, be it Intel, ARM or Motorola, it doesn't matter what kind of hex identifier you used, only the assembler tool you used cares about that.

And it surprises me that Paulguy didn't mention what &H is.

Basically, that's the Basic form of C's 0x.

I have no depth perception either but you don't hear me saying the 3DS sucks.

Am I arrogant to believe I know what is right and what is wrong?
I believe I know what's right and wrong, but I don't think that's arrogant. Actually, if you want to get into semantics, "I believe I know" sounds more arrogant than "I belief I have a pretty good idea" if you ask me, but that's just my opinion, man.

If you mean Twilight Princess on the Wii, that was a control scheme issue. The whole game is flipped from the GC version, including Link's handedness. Canonically, he's still left-handed, including in TP.

From what little you've told me, howtohack, before you ran out, you really ought to get some experience on easier systems and games before you continue your attempts on SM64. If you don't, you can bet we will consider you out of your mind.

Sure, SM64 hacking looks cool, but that doesn't mean any random jackass can tackle it.

It's kinda like an RPG: you don't try to handle the final boss for your first battle (assuming you could), unless you're sick of life.
Or Crono in a newgame+

Got my shades back.

It's okay to want to touch it. That is the natural response to a hat so sexy.

Here's something relevant that I whipped up in my ample spare time.

<Alkerioff> Day of the incident? You make it sound like a Zombie Outbreak.
<Kawa> It wasn't?

Step 1: wait for blackhole89 to finish and release Solar Soundtrack.
Step 2: use said program and a good ear to rewrite those songs in SPC.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: No profit, cos this is rohmacking and we don't do profit here.

Reality is actually similar to a computer's virtual reality, only that reality if far more complex.
Very, VERY much more so. But philosophically, I'd say you're basically right.

If you find an SMW editor "kinda hard to use", why are you entertaining the notion of SM64 hacking?

This involves various mathematical calculations (that doesn't even make sense to me, please forgive my stupidity).
You're forgiven. I don't get them either. Maybe Blackhole does. Maybe.

Also, methinks you're over-thinking this a wee bit.
