Oh, thanks Charon, but I was talking about inserting a midi that has already been extracted from a game (like those on a website).

Have a nice day.
:MercurySet:  :MercuryDjinni:

Oh yeah, I am prepared to do a lot of work so I can add more characters (at least until Yoshi is in). In fact, I might forget about adding characters and just replace Piers (but there goes another (almost redundant) character).
Oh yeah baby, £ me harder.

Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak Adepts stronger.

Yoshi's Lighthouse is a hacking website in progress. Why not check it out if you like Yoshi or the Mario & Luigi games?

Charon

Like... complicated ASM routines and the such?...

Salanewt

Well, I one of my goals this summer is to learn as much as I can about ASM, so yeah. If I can, then I will use ASM to get more characters. Also, if and when it is possible, then I am going to add more graphics for Jenna, and make it so you can choose which gender you are. Who knows, I might make it so Kraden follows Felix (or Jenna if previous idea was successful) around everywhere they go, even on the world map.

So, I was wondering... Other than that one link that I posted, are there any other websites that I can go to that explain ASM hacking (preferable GBA, but SNES or N64 will be fine as well)?

Have a nice day.

I'm thinking about doing some transformations with ASM, and using it to apply it to all of my Pokemon Sprites. Any good resources?

Salanewt

Are you talking about adding to your Jupiter hack, or to add to Golden Sun?

Also, are you talking about graphics or no?

Have a nice day.

Charon

Yes, I am refering to my hack and I am also refering to graphics. The main issue is figuring how to replace the old data.

Salanewt

Oh yeah. I can not currently think of any other sources right now, sorry. I am still a novice hacker (not amateur), and I am still reading this tutorial website. However, I will try to help in the future (or with other things).

Have a nice day.

If I can make it work, I might even add an argument for individual Pokemon, but that's a LOT of work. o.o

Salanewt

I would imagine so.

Oh yes, how do I apply the ASM patches to ROM files?

Please and thank you.

Have a nice day.

Finally, an ASM question I can answer o.o

There are ASM compilers. You write the routine in a text document, then you load it in the compiler, and it will make a .bin file with the ASM code. Copy and paste.

Remember, ARM and THUMB codes are WORD based, and THUMB code pointers must end in either 1, 5, 9, or D.

If you're replacing an old routine, find the old routine's pointer, then repoint the pointer to the new routine.

Salanewt

Thank you. By the way, a pointer is a set of numbers that determine what something is (or where it is), right?

Have a nice day.

Salanewt - please stop posting random questions here. This is in the General Hacking section, thus the questions here apply only to hacking. If you have a question about anything else, ask that question in the forum that closest applies to the subject of the question. If you continue, I'll have to raise your warn level.

Please do not apologize here either, you may PM me if you continue to have problems.

I don't know if this question belongs in this thread or not, but anyway.

Does anyone know a way to extract or to obtain sound effects (not music) from a gba game? Specifically golden sun.

Charon

You could extract them by setting songs to the same voicegroup and instruments as a long Middle C, or there are a variety of programs to extract them for you. Unfortunately, I do not have any such programs to distribute.

Are you looking to transfer the wavs to another rom, because that I can help you with.

Drick9

I'm looking to extract the sound effects somehow for personal use. They are rather good sounds. I geuss i'll try looking for a program. However most of the best programs are designed for specific games.

Hey guys! im new here, nice to meet you!

i have a question, its about summon night 3 hajimari no ishi, you see, is there any way to override the word limit of each line? we are translating it, but trimming lines is a hard task to do


thanks!

I haven't checked how that game's text stuff works yet. Is it uncompressed? (By your description, it sounds like it.) If so, are you able to repoint the text strings to free space? By "word-limit", do you mean the next string gets in the way, or does the game code really set the word-limit? (I would check sooner if you had chosen to edit an English ROM, since locating Japanese text takes an extra step or two, I think. (Which starts with a breakpoint in VRAM.))

Refer to Yoshi's Lighthouse for any M&L hacking needs...

Sometimes I like to compare apples to oranges. (Figuratively) ... They are both fruits, but which one would you eat more? (If taken literally, I'd probably choose apples.)
Maybe it is over-analyzing, but it doesn't mean the information is useless.


The only GS Discord servers with significance are:
Golden Sun Hacking Community
GS Speedrunning
/r/Golden Sun
GS United Nations
Temple of Kraden

Can you believe how small the Golden Sun Community is?

2+2=5 Don't believe me? Those are rounded decimal numbers. Take that, flat earth theorists! :)

by word limit i mean the limit of the bubble containing the text, for example

あわなきゃなんないんだよ!?   it's length is 28, so the translation must fit there (it happens with all the game's lines)

i don't really know much about hacking, but the project's lead had a hard time overriding it so i thought i could ask

pablitox

He guys! how is it going? sorry the double post here. I wanted to update on our little project. to be honest it hasn't been very good so far, what with our leader leaving and having to rip the script.. Anyway we have it and we are getting the tools to insert it from another user called ritchburn, though our main person in gba hacking is busy, so i wanted to know if someone could help him crack this and insert the translated script. the tools are mostly complete if i recall correctly, here they are

https://github.com/wangds/sncsm3

they are made only by ritchburn.

many thanks!

Does anyone know where I can down load sound effects used for some of the Psynergy in this game? Particular that of Move, Mind Read, and Catch?
