Topics I've Started

  1. .hps maker

    27 November 2012 - 12:42 AM

    So, now since is possible to load GameCube games from USB or SD on Wii, have you ever wanted to put custom music on Melee or Kirby Air Ride?

    Well, I made a simple "tool" (technicaly, it's a crappy 68k asm file)
    Here.

    Note: this thing requires "dspadpcm.exe", you'll need to find the Wii SDK for that
    or if you are too desesperate to convert music, PM me for the files.

    Guide:
    • Get Audacity, any version is fine
    • Open the song in Audacity
    • Click on that arrow on the left (the one with the song name), then separate the song to mono, you'll get 2 channels
    • Then do multiple export, set the output folder to /dsp/ and click on Export
    • Now rename those files to LEFT.wav and RIGHT.wav
    • Click on run.bat, wait until finishes converting, you will see the new files: LEFT.dsp and RIGHT.dsp
    • THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART: IN BOTH .dsp FILES, PAD THEM WITH 00's IF THE ARE TRIMMED, otherwise the song will crash in-game
    • Open main.asm, you'll see:

    Samples		equ	14694912
SampleRate	equ	44100
Blocks		equ	257


    "Samples", put the number of samples of the song
    "SampleRate", self-explanatory
    "Blocks", this is the interesting part, you have to guess the value to make the .hps work correctly (since I don't know how to calculate it), put a random higher value, like 400

    Now open build.bat
    If you get a lot of Zero Length errors, low the value and try again.
    If on the command line window you can see the last sucessful converted block, copy the ID to the number of blocks and build again

    If you don't see any errors, here you go.
    (but if it's at first time, high the value until you see the zero length errors, and keep looking for the last sucessful converted block, just to make sure)

    you'll see the file output.hps

    The file is also playable in Winamp with the vgmstream plugin
    and for some reason the .hps file will loop wrong on winamp, but it will work fine on Melee.

    Enjoy.

    (Sorry, I don't have more time for a guide to insert it on Melee, find a tutorial somewhere)

  3. Sonic Mega Fusion

    19 September 2011 - 04:04 AM

    Since the other topic got locked, I'm making a new one... this time is for the Hacking Contest

    Download

    Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image

    I bet this one is not going to count, because I already uploaded a ROM, but with the old stuff, this one has new stuff like the Title Screen (WIP), and a new BG in the first level.
    Layout by MarkeyJester, with random edits by me (engine differences)

    [If I'm actually too late, trash this then]

    EDIT: silly me, debug mode was enabled by default, download again

    [seriously, if this topic is too stupid, trash plz]

  5. Custom Genesis BIOS

    12 March 2011 - 09:47 PM

    This BIOS displays a simple message and an icon before booting the game, ala DS (the official games are unaffected)
    The icon, description, pallet, even the font can be customized

    Examples:

    My sonic hack

    (Temporary icon)

    Test ROM


    This requires a special header, which I'll put the it in my next post Below

    Download:
    BIOS
    Test ROM ("Hello World!")

    The BIOS checks for the string "GF64" at $C0
    and starting from $D0, it grabs the full [LONG] locations of the pallet, font, icon and description (in this order)

    From the "Hello World!" ROM:
