addmusic issues

okay. ive searched and searched for help with addmusic 4.05. every time i see a topic like this, NOBODY HELPS!!! "did you do the tutorial?" yes every single little step you can imagine, and then some.
there's obviously a problem somewhere, I think a majority of the songs are currupted or something because the only song that Ive successfully imported is the LoZ PazzleSolved.txt that comes with addmusic. SO, instead of asking for a fish, I'll ask where the fishing rods are. found em.

tell me how the txt files work with addmusic and ill MAKE an application that creates said txt files. if i can figure tou whats wrong with the songs i downloaded (at least 10), i might make a fixer too. some work, but its better than a kick in the @$$.


edit 1: got the addmusic txt template, but i still don't like the attitude taken towards this issue...

edit 2: i got FFMQWorldMap.txt to work as level music. Headers just might be pointless. all i did to get it working was remove the header and fix the return characters (windows: chr 10 then chr 13).
So... um... what's the problem you have? You said the songs are corrupted (which are not, or else they wouldn't have been accepted anyway). Lemme guess: no sound at all and when you die the game crashes?

the tutorials fail to mention anything about a header. if addmusic is so simple, then why would we have to dink around with headers?! rather you want level or OW music is specified in the ini file.

"Lemme guess: no sound at all and when you die the game crashes?" see its that kind of attitude im talking about. you shouldn't stereotype.

but STILL im not out of the woods. now to get Crono Trigger - Schala's Theme to work. editing the header does nothing.

what we need is a tool that does header work, cmd launching, and auto updates addmusic.ini. maybe more depending on what i find.
First, you must calm down.

Second, you must check if the ROM is clean, use the tool called ROMclean

Third, if the ROM is clean, you must expand the ROM at least 2 MB, just click the expand option in LM or Lunar Expand.

Fourth, make sure you've downloaded the most recent AddMusic and the most recent is: HuFlungDu's Addmusic v4.05.02

Fifth, read carefully the readme, first, you need to insert the N-SPC patch and you can do it by creating a .bat file with this command:

Code
AddMusic.exe ROM.smc -se
@pause


After you did this, you must remove the "-se" command and insert the music.

BIG NOTE: The LEVEL header is:

Code
$ED $80 $6D $2B
$ED $80 $7D $00
$F0


The OW header is:

Code
$ED $80 $6D $68
$ED $80 $7D $00
$F0
Also note that the Schala's Theme has a echo dealay of $05, so if you're using it as an OW song, only changing the echo buffer (the header) won't work (at least in emulators more accurate than ZSNES). You'll need to change the echo delay too, since the max value it can be set to, with the echo buffer at 0x6800 (read: OW header), is $03.

So yeah, near the top of the txt, replace that
Code
$F1 $05 $4A $01 $EF $FD $40 $45

with
Code
$F1 $03 $4A $01 $EF $FD $40 $45


and you should be fine.
if you do have any other questions feel free to ask, but be sure to actually explain your issue instead of freaking out. The reason he said "Lemme Guess:...." was cause you didn't say your problem, and that is the most common issue.
So remember kids! If you ever get caught having tosave a princess from a foreign land after getting dragged down a drain pipe, jumping while spinning in a circle can help you greatly by allowing you to jump on spinning saw blades, ghosts, and allow you to control your jump better!

I wasn't "stereotyping", I was actually trying to guess your problem since you only said "the songs are corrupted", with no other information...
