ok when I use Sappy for certain roms I get this error. I use it mostly to get the header for Zahlman's song editor so is there a way to fix this or another way to get the header?

[shadowofchaos]

Certain GBA ROMs don't use the Sappy Engine.

Tales of Phantasia and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories come to mind as using a different engine.

[Brendor the Brave]

So is there another way to find headers for Zahlman's song editor?

[CT075]

use a debugger/memory viewer to find out where the song is being streamed to and backtrace

Though technically, if it's not using the sappy engine, Zahlman's song editor won't work with it... period.

Well shit..oh well

That's why it was so hard to get a rip for a GBA game that didn't have sappy as its engine.

Someone ELSE debugged it and ripped the tracks into a custom file... which a Winamp plugin.




I have no idea if winamp has a midi exporter feature.

wait wait wait

do you know if they have doc on it

Again, as I said. I don't know if winamp has a MIDI export function.

Oracle_of_fire, the person making that ROM hack with that music in it used a MIDI someone made. Probably from VGMusic. It isn't a rip from the GBA ROM.

[Brendor the Brave]

yeah I know it's not a rip I'm just saying it's the same song. Moving on.
the winamp plugin isn't working and yes I uninstalled and reinstalled winamp multiple times

Then you're SOL.

I don't know what to say other than "did you make sure you put the plugin in the right place?"

[Brendor the Brave]

so can I rip songs from un-sappy supported gba roms and burn them into my fe roms some other way or am I just plain fucked?

[shadowofchaos]

am I just plain fucked?

Unless you can use a debugger and know what the hell you're doing, get a MIDI.

alright so how can I insert midis into my fe rom? yes, I know Blazer has a tutorial for it but I assume there's an easier, faster more efficient way considering it's so outdated.

[CT075]

no there really isn't

your assumption is wrooooong

[Brendor the Brave]

shitt I could never follow that tutorial

[CT075]

are you serious

if you can't follow the zse part of the tutorial (the elf part is a bit confusing i'll give you that) then i really can't help you

[Brendor the Brave]

yeah I got confused after putting in the pointers
