I can't recreate what you saw in the video because I copied a random selection of Hex from a FFIV SPC and pasted it into 090043.
I am aware that if you exceed the available bytes or space that it will glitch up, I'm just trying to get results right now.
090043 - 09074A is the Battle Theme.
Do I copy and paste the entire SPC's HEX in a hex editor and paste it into "090043" in FF6? That can't be right, it seems to easy and doesn't work anyways.
I really wish this Metroid Quest guy would write up a tutorial on what he did. Step by step, it's quite frustrating. >_<;

In a typical dumped SPC from FF6, you can find the sequence at 0x1D00. However, the data in the ROM starts off with two bytes specifying the size of the sequence data; the data in the SPC doesn't include those two bytes. If you want to copy sequence data from a FF6 SPC, you must estimate the size of the sequence data and create the length-specifying bytes when you insert it. Sorry, I'm not very good at explaining this stuff in an easily understood form. I really wish this Metroid Quest guy would write up a tutorial on what he did. Step by step, it's quite frustrating. >_<;
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the way he did it judging from his topic at Slick Productions was "manually sequence the music using a hex editor". |

This is an amazing finding ! I love those songs with swapped instruments ! In case anyone have trouble converting between .wav <-> .brr feel free to use my BRR Tools it's open source freeware too so feel free to "steal" it. EDIT : It seems the problem with importing the samples is their tuning, not their loops. I remember I was able to change the tuning of intruments in the early version of the music engine, it was defined somewhere close tho the default enveloppes if I remember well. I'll take a look at that BRR program and play around with it. As for those songs I have they are actually imported from one game to another and dumped. I didn't just edit the .SPC file. I have a small archive of dumped sequences that I used to import then change the instruments and tweak the volumes and octaves to get them sounding right. Some songs went easy and some were extremely tedious. |

MetroidQuest said he'd only teach me how to import music like he did if I played through his new hack. >_<;
Give me a few weeks. >_>;

Hey guys, this is MetroidQuest.. I created this account before I made a new handle for myself. Sorry for the confusion  . I really enjoyed reading through this thread through. Anyway, I put countless weeks and months into custom composing music into FF3/6 and with something that was so complex I decided to have a contest. The winner gets a custom composed song of their choice into FF3us (or ff6 i guess) and a fully written tutorial on how I did it. Check out the details here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT1ghiBpDDwBest, MQ |

Check out the details here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT1ghiBpDDwBest, MQ I respect that you want us to play through your game and all, but why don't you just release the information you know on implementing custom music? In all honesty (no offence), I really don't want to play three weeks worth of game play just to learn something. There is nothing I loath more in the rom hacking scene than people who withhold useful information like this. Especially in the size of the FF6 hacking community out there currently. I'm not bragging, but there are only a few people who know a lot more than me in hacking FFVI. Lenophis, DragonsBrethren and a few other veterans. Most of which don't post, or hack the game anymore. None of which know how to import (or have had success yet with it) custom music, so please just release the information. |

Don't sweat it too much, Zeemis. Once the contest is over I'm sure the information will make it's way around the web. The contest is mostly for people who (and no offenSe) enjoy playing others' hacks as well as learning something.
Best,
MQ

Honestly, I don't know. I'm engaged to be married and my freetime is limited along with my interest. I get started on something then get sidetracked and completely lose interest in what I was doing (*see MQHT and SPC Editor). Besides, there are plenty of other programmers out there who are hugely better than I am and they should code a program to do these things. I hear that Lord J might be working on importing/exporting songs and or BRRs for his FF3usME. |

Well done, JCE3000GT! I may be able to compose music for FF6.. but I still haven't figured out how to do what you did there! FYI - I just posted a pretty significant bugifx for FF6-EC on my site this morning. You may want it. PS - Congrats on being engaged! As an RPG fanatic and game hacker who has been married for almost 4 years I can tell you your time to do stuff like this will shrink significantly  Heck, I REALLY want to play FFXIII .. but I know I'll have to lose sleep if I want to squeeze that kind of time in! |
