I can rip and insert custom music, w00t.

Ripping is a lot of fun because I can rip awesome DS music into MIDI format and then insert it into my GBA hacks. HECK YEAH!!!

I have a LOT of epic music in store for Tactics Universe!

[seph1212]

Like all that stuff from Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the plume, right?

Sounds wicked Blazer. Can I ask for some midi files, please? 9_9

[Fire Blazer]

Yeah Seph. I said I'd rip it and I did lol. I never though it'd be as easy as it was.

Inserting is much harder so I won't even try (more importantly I have a feeling the instruments will get messed up when I convert from MIDI to SSEQ [SSEQ is the NDS format]), but the fact that it is possible sure is good to know. XD

As for FE11 music, the MIDIs turned out bad because of the instruments. I could fix the songs, but it's a lot of work. I just fixed one song though and even that didn't turn out very good (if it weren't for the melody or w/e I wouldn't have recognized the song BEFORE I fixed it up a little).

Boss Battle

Here's a song from Suikoden Tierkries that sounds much better and more like how it should after being fixed, but still isn't near perfect.

Fierce Fighting with the Giants

Here's a better song that besides a couple of minor flaws is great--I would have uploaded a near-perfect one but I didn't want to spoil songs that I might use in my hacks (or share the MIDIs to let other people use them D:).

Valkyrie Profile Map Theme

(Idk which map theme it is by name, but it is epic)

Here's another epic song while I'm at it:

[seph1212]

I can have this song please?

Soul Stranger

It's in the game, and I could send you a save to get to it and such.

I'LL BEG!!

Astray Gundam

This as well, yo.

Again, saves will be sent.

[Fire Blazer]

I don't need saves. I don't need music lists either. I just need the name of the game.

Also, I can't assure you that the song will sound good, as shown by the posts above. At the most, I can try. I also won't do more than one game per person (I don't mind looking for a couple songs in a game though, or I can just send you all the songs and you look for it yourself).

[seph1212]

Blazer...

If you could send me all the midis of every song in SRT W...

I would love you forever.

Could you?

For the record, I wasn't asking you to rip any songs for me, just making a random comment. If I want something, most likely I'll learn to do it myself. XD (Most of my projects I prefer to do most everything myself anyway. XD)

But yeah, as I said before, it's cool to see advances in hacking (or in this case, more specifically ripping), and I'll probably keep an eye on this topic in case you post other songs to hear how they turn out. XD

[Fire Blazer]

I'll probably post Seph's songs here, but that's about it. Also, I didn't really make any advancement in hacking, I just researched a bit and managed to run some programs properly with the knowledge I already had.

In other words, you're giving me too much credit. I'd tell you guys to do it all yourselves but I have a feeling most people won't want to:

- get the appropriate game
- unpack it with DSLazy
- get the music file (SDAT format)
- run a program through CMD on it
- figure out what happened (kinda simple--the program splits data into 3 folders, sequence (songs in MIDI format), stream (idk much about this), and samples (WAVs/sounds/instruments).

But people do want to:

- enjoy ripped music in MIDI format
- have it inserted into GBA games as a hack

EDIT: Kinda busy being sick with a flu of some sort so please be patient.

a fairly good ds music to midi program i use goes by the name of VGM trans, i dont know if thats what blazer is using but its the one ive got and ive seen no others like it around (mostly cause i haven't really looked), but you all should look it up and rip the midis for yourselves, hope im not being to blunt with the way im trying to say do it yourself

[Fire Blazer]

Lulz yeah I just told them how to do it up there and the programs are now on FES (http://www.feshrine.net) so I ENCOURAGE people to do it themself. Just FE people didn't know about this so all I really was doing was sharing what i found out. lol

VGMTrans is also on FES. I tried it but I can't get it to extract to MIDI. Also it's release is buggy and the program is quite undeveloped. I did get it to play WAVs, give me interesting information about the sound format, and although I didn't try it I'm pretty sure it can convert files to WAVs too.

[Kingultra]

I need:
Trap Phantasm from Megaman ZX Advent
Dialga Battle Theme from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky
Will's theme from Advance Wars Days of Ruin
Sky Garden and Rainbow Road themes from MarioKart DS
Final Boss, the Main Theme, and the Go Satella Police theme from Megaman Starforce 3
And Bloody Tears from Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow

I have all month.

No longer taking requests, I figure people will just have to make the effort do it themselves. I think people are competent enough, plus then you won't have to wait or rely on me or anyone else if you can just do it yourself.

- get the appropriate game (cough, don't ask)
- unpack it with DSLazy
- get the music file (SDAT format)
- run ndssndext (it is uploaded onto FES and named "NDS Sound Extractor") by dropping the SDAT file on there
- figure out what happened (kinda simple--the program splits data into 3 folders, sequence (songs in MIDI format), stream (idk much about this), and samples (WAVs/sounds/instruments).

And of course enjoy your results; hopefully they are good.
