I always wanted to port AOS music to HOD by hand but I couldn't so thanks to the Double Pack ROM, you don't have too. Sappy and gba2mid couldn't detect the header for AOS in Double Pack for some reason so I found it my self and it was a success that you can copy and paste something like this, 0000 0000 0000 0000 in a location of your choice in the header. Here is the address for the header for both games in one:

USA ROM
Castlevania - Harmony of Dissonance: 22667C
Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow: A7CC40

Have fun!

Here's a video of it:

Interesting !

I bet the double pack is really two ROMs pasted together with a small boot loader added, so there should be two separate copies of the sappy sound engine in the ROM.
Of course you can re-route a pointer from a side of the ROM to point to the other side, which I guess is what you did to play AOS' music in HOD.

I wonder if the fact AOS uses more channels than HOD would cause problems. I guess sound effects doesn't play in your demo (or not well), is it related to this in any way ?

I'm not so sure about that. I tested HOD music to AOS and it work fine including the SFX. I guess you have to replace the SFX with a new one by going through sappy.

Sorry for my terrible English!

In Dawn of Souls, you can eve do one better because the entire soundtrack for both games is accessible from one index.
