AddmusicK Problems

Back when AddmusicK was first released, I tried porting my ROM over to it. The music itself inserted and worked just fine, but it caused a side effect of graphical bugs on my overworld, including messed up tile layouts and glitched tiles in certain areas (the paths worked just fine, though). So far, I haven't been able to fix this problem.

Recently, I noticed the new version of AddmusicK and decided to run it on my ROM, hoping that the same problems wouldn't occur again. Unfortunately, the result was the ROM becoming completely mute (no sound/music), along with the same side effects as before.

The only ASM patch I have applied that relate music and the OW (aside from the N-SPC patch) is the SMWCP Multiple Main OW Songs patch. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, and has anyone else come across either of these issues? All of the songs were set up correctly.
I have a ZIP file with a pair of IPS files of my ROM if anyone wants to take a look at it (One of the ROM before running AddmusicK and one of the ROM after running it), so PM me if you'd like the link (since it is a beta).

There's your problem. You're not supposed to patch any sort of N-SPC patch to a ROM using AMK, as AMK supplies its own patches, and that multiple main OW songs patch is simply incompatible with AMK.

The N-SPC patch I have is leftover from the one AM4 inserts on its own. Will AddMusicK remove it on its own like Addmusic4 did with Romi's or do I have to remove it manually?

As for the Multiple OW Songs patch, it actually worked music-wise in the last version, but I can't test it out with the new version due to the ROM becoming silent before I can reach the overworld. Nevertheless, I'll try removing the patch and then re-running AddmusicK and see if anything changes.
When using an old ROM on AMK, AMK will remove all the data from previous Addmusics. For example, if you were still using Carol's or Romi's Addmusic for some reason, using a ROM that used one of those tools on AMK will remove all data inserted from those tools. That included their hijacks, the music inserted in the ROM, etc.

Which means it would also remove the N-SPC patch from those AM's as well. Are those the only 2 patches in the rom you've used or only the ones you think may be causing problems because of what they edit? If you are using any others, please supply those as well because I feel like you may have patched the Layer3ExGFX patch before considering the OW messing up.
Major thanks to Suika Ibuki for layout!
I'm open for music requests, just DM me on discord and we can further discuss there.

About the patch used in SMWCP, I think this may help you.
The N-SPC patch shouldn't be a problem, then, since AddmusicK's inserts its N-SPC patch on its own.

I have the Layer 3 ExGFX patch installed, but I've had it installed on this ROM for two years and I haven't seen it cause any bugs. I'll try removing the patch and see if that solves the graphical problems, and I'll try the fixes for the SMWCP music patch from the thread that tcdw linked to.
