Toadio	Well. I can make some custom music (Which I've been doing since January 2017) but I guess I can join. If you need anymore info about me then DM me. Ok. Well if you can and if i provide a midi can you make All Hail Shadow from the GCN game Shadow the Hedgehog replace the title screen? That would be great. :)

Toadio	Is there an image to create a title? If not, I will create a title by my original. It would be cool if you created an original one because I don't really have any ideas for what it should be at the moment and I would also love to see your ideas.

Toadio	It's not true, my ARM9 Editor can edit all the slots available on the Music Table. Then where is the muisc slot for the Race Start Fan Fair? I checked I know. There are two Mario Circuit's and, the title screen is called "Unknown", there are two "course intro 1"'s and, There are no options for; The Race Start Fan Fair, The After Race 1st-3rd Place Points Screen Music or, The After Race 4th-8th Place Music, The After Time Trail Music, GCN Mario Circuit, Donkey_Course, Doken_Course, Luigi_Course, Mini_Block_Course, Nokonokno_Course. I checked every music slot and played every sequence that was listed in each slot and, none of the slots above are options. Am I using an older version or something?? Have you got ARM9 editor version 4? It fixes some of the issues in the previos versions.

Thread: [Tutorial] Making Music Hacks

Author	Posted on 2017/07/22
Toadio	So Ive decided to make a more detailed version of this tutorial. Its only for windows though since i dont have linux and therefore couldnt obtain the screenshots i need. So first of all you need a few Programmes: MKDSCM (By Gericom) Download EFE (By Gericom): Download Here Midi2sseq and sseq2midi : Download Here Any Midi editing software such as Anvil Studio: Download Here You will also need: Any MKDS Rom Step 1: Open up MKDSCM and open up your Rom. Step 2: Find the Sound_data.sdat by clicking that file named "Data" and then the file named "Sound". Right click on Sound_data.sdat and click "Export" and then save it where you know how to find it. Step 4: After you have saved Sound_data.sdat open it using MKDSCM. Step 5: Right click on the SSEQ you want to replace and click "Export". (Use the Kart resources page to refer to what SSEQ links to what track. Im using SSEQ41 which is Rainbow Road). Step 6: Convert the SSEQ to a midi by navigating to where you saved the SSEQ and then moving the file to the midi2sseq/sseq2midi folder. Then drag the SSEQ into sseq2midi and wait until SSEQ?? apears (the ? represents any number). Step 7: Open the Midi and look at the instrument set it uses. Make sure to refer to these instruments only otherwise your Music Hack wont work. Step 8: Download the midi that you want to replace the origional music with, or navigate to where your own midis are on your PC. Step 9: Open the Midi you downloaded or the midi you want to use and change the instrument set to match the instruments of the SSEQ then save the file. Step 10: Find the Midi you just saved and move it to the Midi2sseq/sseq2midi folder. Open up CMD (included in the folder) and type midi2sseq nameofmidi.mid nameofsseq.sseq and hit Enter. It should reply with a few lines like this. Step 11: Open your Sound_data.sdat in MKDSCM again and then right click on the SSEQ you want to replace. Click replace and navigate to your midi2sseq/sseq2midi folder that your new SSEQ is stored in and then click "Open". Step 12: Click the floppy disk icon to save it and close the programme. Step 13: Open EFE, Open your ROM and then navigate to where the Sound_data.sdat is located. Right click Sound_data.sdat and click "Replace" and then navigate to where your modified Sound_data.sdat is stored. Click "Open" to complete the operation and then click the floppy disk icon to save. You have now succesfully replaced an SSEQ file in MKDS!

Toadio	- 7.7 GiB of RAM (DDR3 maybe?) - Intel Core i5-5257U @ 2.70 GHz × 4 - Intel Iris 6100 (Broadwell GT3) - Arch Linux (MATE desktop environment) - PS4 controller (through bluetooth) Executable won't even start at all (surprise!), so no performance test from my end. Hmmm. Have you looked at any possible fixes?

Toadio	They will need to create a Linux version for it to be "fixed". Since they use wxWidgets for their GUI shizzle, I don't see why they can't compile it for any other OS, or at the very least release the source code. Will other platforms besides Windows be supported? Multi-platform support is planned and so far many development decisions have been in favor of supporting multiple platforms (e.g. choosing OpenGL over DirectX for rendering). But currently there are thousands of other little things that need to be done before work on ports can be started. Taken from the FAQ on Their Website

Toadio	Saw this a second ago too. DirectX is the main cause here, since it's a Windows-only API created by (guess what?) Microsoft. Porting it to OpenGL would solve the issue, though performance-wise it would be a much better idea to port to Vulkan instead (even if that means no macOS support). That explains a lot. I guess you will have to wait till they eventually port it to Vulcan or OpenGL.

Toadio	You mean the social bar at the top of each page? It's not the way it works. The said bar updates itself once every 10 seconds. A more proper way to handle auto-updating is currently in the works, finding the right way is another issue. Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up for me. And sorry that i wasnt clear enough.
