Hello. I'm very new to rom hacking. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for specific tutorials and just can't find a single thing, because SMW is so old. Right now I'm more focused on adding music. But more importantly, my own. I have tons of mp3 songs that I want to add to the game, and replace certain songs like the menu screen, game over, levels, maps, etc. Can someone please tell me EXACTLY how to make, and add my own music, without making it sound like science?
Read this Tutorial.
How to add music:

Download the song and save the whole ZIP file in the folder labelled "music".
Right click the ZIP folder and select "Extract All" if you're using Windows. If you are not using Windows or this option is not available for whatever reason, create a new folder in your "music" folder (named whatever you want) and copy the contents of the ZIP file into this new folder. You can delete the ZIP file at this point if you wish.
Run "AMKGUI". To add a new song, simply drag and drop the text file that's in the folder you just created into AMKGUI. The song will be inserted after your currently selected song. Alternatively, you can click the "Add new song" button, navigate to the folder you created earlier, and select the text file that contains the music (e.g. "SMB1 Theme.txt"). You can change or remove songs as well by clicking on their appropriate buttons.
When you have made the changes you want, hit the "Run" button, then select your ROM. After a few moments, a window showing the results given by AddmusicK will appear. If it says that the insertion was successful, then you can just close the program and continue.
