Your very welcome, although this is MetroidQuest's tutorial not mine. Anywho...

To make an infinite loop, I would just use the jump command (F6 xx yy) and loop it back to the address where you want it to start over again. The jump command is essentially an infinite loop, right? That should work unless I'm mistaking what exactly you are doing there in your track.

As for changing the instruments, to make your life easier (unless you moved your instrument bank for some reason) you should instead use this wonderful tool made by JCE3000GT.
http://www.jce3000gt.com/spc_editor.php

To use it just select 'FFVI' and open up your ROM and go to Narshe Mines.
For the song's instruments to show up correctly, your ROM will need to be unheadered.
So make sure it is first. Also when you are done editing the instruments, be sure and hit save before going to another song or closing the program.

If for some reason you still want to edit the instruments the hard way, you just gotta know that each songs instruments are 32 bytes and are in the same order as the songs. So for Narshe Mines, which is song #22 in the list, you would count down 32 x 22 bytes (704 bytes). That, or just go to the start of the instruments and hex search for the 'Breath' instrument (00 13) since Narshe Mines is the only song that uses that instrument.

This stuff can be very confusing at first, if you have any more questions I'll be happy to answer them.


We are born, live, die and then do the same thing over again.
