How would I replace the existing music in a SNES rom to something different?

[jarethhx]

For an example, I downloaded a few Super Mario World hacks, and the sound effects and music are from Super Mario Bros. 3 I was like WOW!:shock:

So yeah, please help me out. :D

Try Snessor (http://www.zophar.net/utilities/snesaud/snessor95.html). It's been quite awhile since I've messed with it, but I believe it can do what you're wanting.

you have to have a very intimate knowledge with assembly and the SNES hardware (especially the SPC700) in order to pull something like that off.

...... I feel so stupid, all I know how to do is change tiles in a NES rom and I suck with pallette...

SPC700? Hmm... I feel stupid...

That's the SPU (sound processing unit) of the SNES.

Thanks for all your support. I'll do my best to figure this Snessor thingy.

Snezzer wouldn't help you at all. It's a sample ripper. You have to learn 65C816 assembly to even begin trying to replace SNES music in a game.

Oops, apparently the Windows version of Snessor, which I linked to in my original reply, can only rip audio. You need the DOS version of SNESSOR (http://www.zophar.net/utilities/rippers/snessor.html) in order to actually reinsert them. The DOS version does work in XP, at least.

Damn... Even DOSBOx wouldn't open my editors anyways... I'll find someone else to do this for me, I guess. X.x All I wanted to do was change the crappy music in a few SNES roms for better stuff. Kinda like Tetris & DrMario for SNES. nvm then ty anyways :)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Snessor would only let him insert new samples. I think Bowie's talking about putting in an entirely new song, which is a whole new ball of wax. It can be done, but it's hard. You'd need to find information for the specific game you are trying to hack more than likely.
