Royaken's Song Hack Releases!

When you create a patch, your patch should only change what is supposed to change, and here we tals about the song pointer, the instruments and song data.

Your patch change a lot of bytes from the beginning to the end of the ROM.

I ran an IPS report with your patch on a version 1.0 ROM headered and unheadered.


Edit: Your patch is 2.9mb in size which is close to the size of the original ROM.

I'll be completely honest, not sure what a lot of that means. All I know is that the song was bigger then the original and it needed to be pointed to elsewhere which I explained in the post so I'm not sure what the issue is pertaining to "should only change what needed to be changed"...

That being said, I don't know how I'm supposed to make it smaller. The only reason it's that big, I would assume, is bcuz it's also expanding the rom which again I needed to do in order to input the song. Putting it over the original would have caused issues with the next song in the data.

So... should I just give out the .mml next time? or the binary data? What would you have me do different?

EDIT: It also didn't change bytes throughout the rom. I was informed by Gi Nattak that in order for the Instrument changes to take effect in the SPC editor, the header had to be removed. The only other bytes changed aside from the addition of the song in the F1 bank was the song pointer. If there was anything else changed, I had no part in it and am not sure why it got changed. This was a fresh rom. IF anything else has changed aside form the things I have pointed out I will gladly re-upload. My apologies for any inconvenience.
