Partly it has to do with porting music to smw and maybe smas, the rest of it has do with fixing up the exported midi's and submitting it to certain music midi archivers.
Last I checked, sites like VGMusic didn't accept converted MIDIs.


Thats true 80% of the reason for that is whenever NSF or SPC converts music it will almost be unreadable to most normal MIDI editors and sequencers.
However I have found a solution to the messed up midi conversions and have applied this technique I developed over 2008.

This is what I posted back at smwcentral and almost everybody there doesn't take me seriously when I have information that could help with a problem or fix it.

You will need to grab spc2midi from this site or at the official site where the utitlity has been discontinued due to some minor problems with spc2converter.

1.Open spc2midi, then open a ripped spc either from www.zophar.net or the zsnes emulator.
2.Readjust all the instruments if you can spc2midi and click save.
3.Open the "UNREADABLE" midi in Music studio Producer FULL EDITION.
4.Choose export the file as: MIDI standard version 1.
5.It will save the midi and fix any problems with it.
test this out in other midi editing suites such as sonar to make sure other programs can finally open it.
6.Drag the MIDI to "tinymm" and it will generate a MML file that doesn't have errors or a unreadable layout.
7.Now finally edit the MML like you would and save it as a txt file and then add it to "ANY" version of addmusic

Now as far as I can tell you if you follow this procedure sonar 4,6,7 and 8.2 can up your midi's when you edit the midi in sonar it will recalibrate the midi with it's patch and adjustments and you will have a new midi ready to submit.

I am about to go to vgmusic forum and show them this information and see if they approve.
Should I go ahead and try to do so ? it's not like I am going over there to raise hell, I just want them to see this technique with converted midi's has been fixed.

Well it's been a long time since I've been here and thought I might start off here.
I've been doing custom music with SMW music engine and working with addmusic.
I think I am very well familiar with addmusic and that is not only limited to one game and system,
Is it possible that I could port music through a different type system say like the nes and what game would be a very good choice to port through it.
Keep in mind I never hacked with a nes game so it might be confusing for me if I can't understand how the nes coding and hacking works.

Thanks in advance.

Good grief, well then I'll start looking into it and decide if I need to leave porting to the nes alone for abit until I can familiarize myself with nes hacking.

Thanks again.

Either you download Microsoft security essentials or avast.
Dry your tears and get rid of those infections.
If your computer is laggy and has quite a bit of errors then yes please reinstall your os with a antivirus security combo pack.


Try Micorosft security with comodo firewall free edition

or.....

Try Avast with with Zone alarm free firewall.

The reason why I stated both because those work best on a windows 7 os, please for heaven sakes don't mix microsoft security with zone alarm or expect world war 3 on your pc, as they will fight each other and try to delete the other.

If you don't mind that would be fine, also if you have any more extra info on music porting and creation let me know.
I got a invitation from OCremix.org to join up with them, he said he found my work at smwcentral and me post music video ports on youtube.com.
Gotta go for now on my black berry posting this and shopping in a store with my mother on her birthday, I'll be back on monday to check for replys.

It'd be nice if it had 1920x1200, was pretty fast and had bluetooth like the Gateway P-7811 FX but if it has other good features like super-lightweight, touchscreen, etc those can easily be waived. Basically looking for a sturdy work computer for the go.


Hey, saw your post, have you tried looking at newegg.com ?
The maximum size they have is 18.4 inches.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114944


If you look at this one it's under $1,000 plus I think it will highly suit your needs if not, look here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114809

That one is going for under 700.00, if you don't like dealing with intel cpu's, that would be suited for your needs

those are all terrible

don't post in here again please.



So this is what I get for helping you cheap ass huh ?
If you can find a 19inch laptop for under a 1000 bucks be my guess, truth is you have a very hard time finding one, let alone with good specs and something that won't drain your whole budget.

If you want to act like a ass towards somebody who is trying to help you, then maybe you shouldn't request anything at all.
The best thing you can do is pick up the phone and ask dell to drain your bank account for some 19inch laptops...

By the way I do have a right to post here, your not mod or god here.

Hmm, I prefer a AMD cpud quadcore or hexa-core to do most of my tasks.
Seing as there is Intel don't mind them either, the only thing I don't like currently is intels set prices.

I dont know where else to put this, but ive gotta know. So I play PS2 games on my PS2, no emulator or anything, and im having some issues. This is a regular Sony PS2 controller. What happens is my left Analog stick is entirely inverted in my game GTA Vice City. Left is right, up is down, know what im sayin? Now i tested it on KH1, and it seemed. Fine. Until I tried to press thr X button. I couldnt fight at all. I could select things with the X, but it just wouldnt let me fight. Im so confused as to what could be thr problem, my other controller works PERFECTLY fine... And thats the one the was smashed in half and fixed /: HELP?!?!?


if you don't want to buy another one, I suggest you find a controller that has a good frame board inside with buttons and replace it.
If all goes well see if your PS2 recognizes during bios boot.

and they believe his doctor was the one who prescribe


My question is this mainly, if they think this doctor ordered the drugs for Mj, why in the world can they not back track to his pharmicudicle records and see when that drug was ordered and retrace that phone call ?

Anyone ever hear of Data Storage, look closely in there and there will be your answer.

I am not thinking about the dosage, my point is who was the one who "REALLY" ordered it ?

Was it his doc, his doctors co-workers or was this entirely not his doing which he is trying to tell everyone ?

In a sense I can see where this doctor is coming from, hell I've had other hospitals or offices unknown to me at the time give me the wrong medicene when treating my health over the years. :\

Isn't there some lower-level notion like malpractice or gross negligence that would usually be applied in such cases, anyway?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligence

There should be a law for that, but seing as how this is going badly on USA terms these days, barely any rightfull decision can be made these days.

Damages

Main article: Damages
Damages place a monetary value on the harm done, following the principle of restitutio in integrum (Latin for "restoration to the original condition"). Thus, for most purposes connected with the quantification of damages, the degree of culpability in the breach of the duty of care is irrelevant. Once the breach of the duty is established, the only requirement is to compensate the victim.
One of the main tests that is posed when deliberating whether a claimant is entitled to compensation for a tort, is the "reasonable person". The test is self-explanatory: would a reasonable person (as determined by a judge or jury) be damaged by the breach of duty. Simple as the "reasonable person" test sounds, it is very complicated. It is a risky test because it involves the opinion of either the judge or the jury that can be based on limited facts. However, as vague as the "reasonable person" test seems, it is extremely important in deciding whether or not a plaintiff is entitled to compensation for a negligence tort.
Damages are compensatory in nature. Compensatory damages addresses a plaintiff/claimant's losses (in cases involving physical or mental injury the amount awarded also compensates for pain and suffering). The award should make the plaintiff whole, sufficient to put the plaintiff back in the position he or she was before Defendant's negligent act. Anything more would unlawfully permit a plaintiff to profit from the tort.
Types of Damage:
Special damages - quantifiable dollar losses suffered from the date of defendant's negligent act (the tort) up to a specified time (proven at trial). Special damage examples include: lost wages, medical bills, and damage to property such as your car.
General damages - these are damages that are not quantified in monetary terms (e.g., there's no invoice or receipt as there would be to prove special damages). A general damage example is an amount for the pain and suffering one experiences from a car accident. Lastly, where the plaintiff proves only minimal loss or damage, or the court or jury is unable to quantify the losses, the court or jury may award nominal damages, sometimes the symbolic $1 you see the jury award in movies.
Punitive damages - Punitive damages are to punish a defendant, they are NOT to compensate plaintiffs in negligence cases. Therefore, punitive damages are NOT obtainable in a negligence case. Punitive damages are awardable only in cases where a defendant has been found "guilty" of intentional, reckless or malicious wrongdoing, such as fraud, defamation or false imprisonment. The easy way to remember this concept is to think about a car accident where there is physical injury. If the defendant driver was negligent (say by running a red light) then punitive damages cannot be sought. But if the defendant driver was drunk then punitive damages could be awarded.
[edit]Procedure in the United States

The plaintiff must prove each element to win his case. Therefore, if it is highly unlikely that the plaintiff can prove one of the elements, the defendant may request judicial resolution early on, to prevent the case from going to a jury. This can be by way of a demurrer, motion to dismiss, or motion for summary judgment. The ability to resolve a negligence case without trial is very important to defendants. Without the specific limits provided by the four elements, any plaintiff could claim any defendant was responsible for any loss, and subject him to a costly trial.[14]
The elements allow a defendant to test a plaintiff's accusations before trial, as well as providing a guide to the "finder of fact" (jury) to decide whether the defendant is or is not liable, after the trial. Whether the case is resolved with or without trial again depends heavily on the particular facts of the case, and the ability of the parties to frame the issues to the court. The duty and causation elements in particular give the court the greatest opportunity to take the case from the jury, because they directly involve questions of policy. The court can find that regardless of the disputed facts, if any, the case can be resolved as a matter of law from undisputed facts, because two people in the position of the plaintiff and defendant simply cannot be legally responsible to one another for negligent injury.
On appeal, the court reviewing a decision in a negligence case will analyze in terms of at least one of these elements, depending on the disposition of the case and the question on appeal. For example, if it is an appeal from a final judgment after a jury verdict, the reviewing court will look to see that the jury was properly instructed on each contested element, and that the record shows sufficient evidence for the jury's findings. On an appeal from a dismissal or judgment against the plaintiff without trial, the court will review de novo whether the court below properly found that the plaintiff could not prove any or all of his case.

Personally, its not time for this version of acmlm to go yet.
Yes, I have not been much at all, but off and on I watch this place and the post.
Just like you said black, if there a lack of content or new things being brought to the table, yeah I could see why your in a jam.

Pretty much, its the user end part "If they want" acmlm 2 exist, if they have no need for it and go elsewhere, I would quitely let this board go offline.

I'm for this place seing a new change, and trying to use whatever skills I have to make sure its stable and successfull.

If its your lappy, why not get a new housing for your laptop ?
Also, you maybe quite familiar with laptop management and clean up, but you may want to buy a new heatsink and thermal grease.

I recommend tuniq x2 the most for old laptops as they work hard under low air under all the components.

I'm not going to comment, on your pics, but you could do abit more better than that. :\

Hi there everyone!

So, I was never really got majorly involved here. I don't really know how proper it is for me to offer suggestions, but having been aware of this place for a very long time, I can offer some reasons why I didn't post here often.

I think the main deterrent IS the fact that there isn't much activity. I've always had the impression that people here know a LOT more about romhacking than your average talkhaus or smwcp user. It's really cool that this place has that: It makes me want to post my work here and get feedback; learn new things. The problem is that, while experience (reputation?) of the userbase got me to check the place out, I felt like I never really got an opportunity to have conversations with people. The volume of posts was just too low.

So there's two ways to look at that. You can either see it as a downward spiral, or you can take the positive outlook. If you manage to get a few people here, growth will be exponential because you'll keep more people as activity grows. Essentially, you need some kind of kick-start to get things moving.

One thing that I think could really help is if you offered workshops. I know smwcp is doing one soon so right now might not be the best time, but considering reputation is what brought me here, I'd say you should take advantage of your strengths. Thing is, you'd have to do that kind of thing on a regular basis. Don't just cause some slight interest and never do it again. There's lots of people who want to get better at romhacking, programming, etc., and board loyalty doesn't really influence that. You can definitely draw people in from other sites, but you have to establish that this place has resources that people will benefit from using. (Try not to take offense to this. I'm not trying to say that your community is a resource that can be 'used', but offering something valuable is a good incentive to attract users. Its pretty much the only reason smwc became what it is today)

I also think starting a group project would be good advertising. Use the current size of your userbase as a strength for now. Its easier to coordinate with a smaller team. Build something really cool, show off some videos, then welcome newcomers to come contribute to it. Yes, tower of spatula ran out of steam. Its thread is also one of the longest ones in the romhacking subforum. I'd say it would be worth trying again.

I hope this helps. You all can totally revive this place if you set your collective minds to it. Good luck!

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that I had to reregister because I forgot my password and accounts aren't linked to email addresses. People don't like loosing their accounts... this is kind of a tertiary thing but it's worth fixing if possible.



Let me pick your brain here for a sec...
To actually really jump start this place to a new or becoming project what do you suggest ?

We know smw hacking has been played in and out for so long that quite a few people are tired of it.
It had its long day in the sun, do you suggest board 2 starts really focusing in on smas, sm or any other game that has made atleast enough discoveries to begin fully hacking it ?

I look at the rom hacking section, the least active is zelda 1-3 currently sm at some levels during the years and mainly MM 1-4.
There are others, but its just a lack of motivation like I see at another forum I visit.
We can have all the ideas and agendas in our head to do a game or project, but ask yourself something closely...

How far will you get with a based size hack group that runs out of steam or people have other real life issues to deal with ?

All I can say, is they need to try and push for something until its fully recognizable.

Nice one, I really started to look info asm coding and assembly and hacking..
I'm not a programmer, anyone who knows me, this old fool comes to a stand still about programming.
However I do grasp the erroring and debugging issues when dealing with other tech related messes.
Hopefully soon by spring, I'll be able to help along with a rom hack, even if it is just figuring why such object or equation won't load for god knows what!

WE'll see what happens during this season and spring, nothing aint easy and everybiody realizes in many different forms on here.
I'll be back later, reinstalling 32bit of windows 7, damn 64bit has pissed me off for the last time.

Well its been talked over for awhile, and I think the people have posted and will try to do things for this board to make it resurface and recognizble will try to do that.
Until then I say we just start doing what we can and just hope for the best.

If Black decides its curtain time for acmlm 2 he'll let us know with a fake tear drop in his eye while leaving a short entry index.htm page.
