How to play differents songs on differents act?

Hi! (bad english)

I've doing the Nineko's tutorial "Differents songs EVERYWHERE" but i don't know how i have to put the differents songs.

GHZ1, GHZ2 and GHZ3 have the same music. How can i put an other song for GHZ2 and GHZ3? This is the question.

I've trying to edit musiclist2 and musiclist3 in a hex editor, place the music bin files into the sound folder and edit the Sonic1.asm to load the bin files, but in the level select the game crash when i'm playing the songs and it don't work ingame.


How how how?!

 

Here's a guide I found from Sonic Retro by doing a google search. http://info.sonicretro.org/SCHG_How-tolay_different_songs_on_different_acts

 

Nice work, that's the old version of my tutorial, which shouldn't be followed anymore since it's so outdated. His problem is obiously something different, though I can't figure out what, and I don't have time right now since I'm posting from a phone. I just wanted to warn him not to follow your advice.

 

DumbLemon this is exactly the tutorial i was found and do. 

Nineko! Your tutorial is easy as well, but i'm not sure i've understand... 

Do i have to put the music bin file of act 2 and 3 in the "sound" folder? 
To edit the sonic1.asm and make sure the rom load the songs?
Hex editing the files musiclist2 and 3, and put the nulber of the songs in the file?
 

 

I did think I heard something about that guide being a bit dodgy however I thought even if it does not work (and it didn't) it would be good for him to know the direction hes going in. Ashuro I suggest you do not use the guide I have posted and try to find out whats wrong with the code by yourself unless nineko fix's it for you. I apologize for this hiccup in information.

 

DumbLemon, you really are dumb. For one, the guide works, and it always did. Also, I recommended him not to use the one you linked, because that's the old version, and he's already using the improved one, which is located here, I could tell since he said "everywhere" which isn't part of the old version of the guide. Retro never got the new one.


Once I won't be posting from a phone I'll try to provide more detailed help, but posting from a Lumia is a pain so that'll have to wait.

 

Nineko, i've look your new version, but you've not mentioned in your tuto how we can put the song files in the folder to be played in the game. '-'

 

Nineko, i know how you are a MASTER in the music sonic hacking, i've see this in Sonineko (great work).

 

you can have act branches to get this to work,


cmpi.b #1, (Act).w ; Is this act 1 (Act = $FFFFFE11)
beq MusicAct2 ; If so, play musiclist for act 2
cmpi.b #2, (Act).w ; Is this act 2 (Act = $FFFFFE11)
beq MusicAct3 ; If so, play musiclist for act 3
lea (MusicList).l,a1 ; Load MusicList for act 1
Bra BGM_Cont ; Run the rest of the routine
MusicAct2:
lea (MusicList2).l,a1 ; Load MusicList for act 2
Bra BGM_Cont ;Run the rest of the routine
MusicAct3:
lea (MusicList3).l,a1 ; Load MusicList for act 3
BGM_Cont:
....

and if i'm not mistaken, you can change the musiclist.bin to


Musiclist: dc.b $81, $82, $83, $84, $85, $86
even
Musiclist2: dc.b $81, $82, $83, $84, $85, $86
even
Musiclist3: dc.b $81, $82, $83, $84, $85, $86
even

to change without a hex editor.

 

This is actually quite simple. For this example, I'll use Sonic 1's sound driver, Hivebrain disasm. To add a song, simply put the .bin (or .asm, if you're a cool kid like I am and use ASM-formatted music =P) file into the "sound" folder of your hack's disassembly, then in the sound driver code (location depending on disassembly), locate MusicIndex, which in stock Sonic 1 looks like this:


; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Music Pointers
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MusicIndex: dc.l Music81, Music82
dc.l Music83, Music84
dc.l Music85, Music86
dc.l Music87, Music88
dc.l Music89, Music8A
dc.l Music8B, Music8C
dc.l Music8D, Music8E
dc.l Music8F, Music90
dc.l Music91, Music92
dc.l Music93

And change it to look like this:


; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Music Pointers
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MusicIndex: dc.l Music81, Music82
dc.l Music83, Music84
dc.l Music85, Music86
dc.l Music87, Music88
dc.l Music89, Music8A
dc.l Music8B, Music8C
dc.l Music8D, Music8E
dc.l Music8F, Music90
dc.l Music91, Music92
dc.l Music93, Music94

Then, under this:


Music93: incbin soundmusic93.bin
even

Add this:


Music94: incbin soundsong.bin
even

Replace "song" with your .bin file's name, and there you have it. One new song ready for action...or relaxation or wherever you're gonna use it.

I hope this helped you~

 

Thank you, Thomas!
