Red Goomba MammaMia Team Okarick Karma: 249 Posts: 44/45 Since: 07-13-18	So here's a thing I made in a few minutes. Inverts all notes played by the ARM7 sequence player (that means both music and sound effects) - Open arm7.bin in an hex editor. - Go to offset 0x8C20 - Replace the 4 bytes with 7F 20 64 E2 - Save and replace the binary Does this serve any purpose? No. ~~Did I need something to post to avoid being too inactive? Yes.~~

A new code patching template has been released!

Say goodbye to the ancient, disorganized, misleading and now obsolete "ASM" Patch Template.

With this new code template, you'll be able to quickly create a NSMB code patching workspace, compile using the modern NCPatcher and interact with the game's code using the constantly updated NSMB Code Reference.

Instructions for how to setup the patching environment, either using standalone NCPatcher or NSMBe + NCPatcher, alongside some example patches, can be found in the github repository linked below.

NSMB Code Template

NSMB Code Reference update

The NSMB Code Reference is constantly being updated with new decompiled Actors, classes and functions.

With contributions from various reverse engineers every week, it is, as of now, the only reliable and up to date code reference for New Super Mario Bros.

To provide a pleasant coding experience, the reference follows a strict set of guidelines, such as unified casing and indentation, and is fully compatible with C++20.

The reference is organized in folders split by functionality, and all code is carefully reviewed and aims to be as complete as possible.

Nice tracks!
It seems as you replaced the overworld bass, vibraphone and drawbar organ with a sleigh bell.
An impressive technique I must say, considering the fact that you managed to turn an unpitched instrument into a pitched one.
Oh and to make the music more dynamic you decided to keep the original organ modulation LFO during the end of the track, which takes the previous statement to another level. I'm definitely looking forward to this theme, as you declared that it is still "in reparation".

Regarding the second track, it might seem similar to the first one to an unexperienced listener, but if you listen carefully you might even hear some amazing dissonant tones and out of key instruments, which add to the specialness of this music.
Another thing which some average music fans may not notice, is the presence of an incredible amount of electric pianos.
You included at least 5 different electric piano tracks (not sure about the exact number, because there could be even more electric piano tracks laying inaudible in the ultrasonic or subsonic frequency range) that, just like jazz, do not care about being in tune with the rest of the song, but prefer to generate sounds 4 semitones below the track's original key, giving a sense of utter confusion and making the entire composition special (hence the name "Special overworld").

I'm seriously stunned by the quality of your work and by the amount of incredibly complex techniques used in the making of these two masterpieces, and I can't wait to hear more amazing remixes from you.

Alright, here's how I do it.

First of all download these two files MENU_SSAR_LIST --- NEWER_MENU_SSAR_LIST

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extracting the sound effect.

1.

Open the file MENU_SSAR_LIST.txt and look for the sound you want to change.
E.g. OBJ_KINO_HOUSE_APP

2.

To the left of the name there is a number, that's the position in the SSAR, note it down.
E.g. 4DE

3.

Now find the value below the one previously noted.
E.g.
- 4DE OBJ_KINO_HOUSE_APP
- 51A OBJ_STAR_COIN_BOARD

4.

Open the original SSAR file in a hex editor, select the part between the two values and copy it.
E.g. 4DE-51A

FE 02 00 93 01 48 03 00 81 0B 3C 68 08 81 09 C3
F4 C8 01 CE 01 30 7F 0C C9 30 54 7F 05 CE 00 C8
00 FF 81 0B 3C 68 08 81 09 C3 F8 C8 01 CE 01 30
7F 18 C9 30 54 7F 05 CE 00 C8 00 FF

5.

Create a new file in the hex editor and paste the bytes.

6.

Open the file NEWER_MENU_SSAR_LIST and look for the sound you wish to export.
E.g. OBJ_KINO_HOUSE_APP

7.

To the left of the name you find the value that indicates the offset in the SSAR, note that down.
E.g. 382

8.

Note down the value below the previous one.
E.g.
- 382 OBJ_KINO_HOUSE_APP
- 388 OBJ_STAR_COIN_BOARD

9.

Open Newer's SSAR, select the part between the two values from before and copy them
E.g. 382-388

81 1A 3C 7F 00 FF

10.

Create a new file and paste the bytes

11.

If the sound you copied from the original SSAR is bigger than the one taken from Newer,
paste Newer's at the beginning of Untitled 1 and fill the unchanged bytes with FFs
E.g.

FE 02 00 93 01 48 03 00 81 0B 3C 68 08 81 09 C3
F4 C8 01 CE 01 30 7F 0C C9 30 54 7F 05 CE 00 C8 -Original sound effect
00 FF 81 0B 3C 68 08 81 09 C3 F8 C8 01 CE 01 30
7F 18 C9 30 54 7F 05 CE 00 C8 00 FF

81 1A 3C 7F 00 FF -Newer sound effect

81 1A 3C 7F 00 FF 03 00 81 0B 3C 68 08 81 09 C3
F4 C8 01 CE 01 30 7F 0C C9 30 54 7F 05 CE 00 C8 -Paste it at the beginning
00 FF 81 0B 3C 68 08 81 09 C3 F8 C8 01 CE 01 30 -(Use paste write - CTRL + B)
7F 18 C9 30 54 7F 05 CE 00 C8 00 FF

81 1A 3C 7F 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF -Replace the unchanged bytes
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

Before pasting this in the SSAR follow the next steps:

Exporting the SWAV and the instrument.

1.

Open Newer's SDAT with Nitro Studio.

2.

Open the SBNK corresponding to the SSAR and its SWARs.
E.g. SAR_MENU --> BANK_MENU_SE - WAVE_MENU_SE - WAVE_CANNON
SAR_COURSE --> BANK_COURSE_SE - WAVE_COURSE_SE - WAVE_PON

3.

In the sound effect you copied before (81 1A 3C 7F 00 FF FF FF FF ...) there should be one or more bytes starting with 81,
the byte after that is the instrument number which needs to be converted in decimal.
E.g. 81 1A --> 0x1A --> 26

4. Once the SBNK has been opened find the instrument number you converted in step 3 (26),
click on it and write down the number inside the SWAV NUMBER box.

4.5.

If in the box next to the SWAV NUMBER, SWAR NUMBER there is a number from 1 to 3,
you'll need to open the corresponding SWAV and find the sound there
P.S. The number and the name of the SWAVs are listed on the right side of the window.

5.

Right-click on the same instrument and export it with a name of your choice.

6.

Open the SWAV and look for the sound with the number you wrote previously.
Press Play to make sure it's the right sound.
Right-click on it and click on export.
Export it in a SWAV format with a name of your choice.

Inserting the SWAV and the instrument

1.

Open the SDAT you want to edit.

2.

Open the SBNK corresponding to the SSAR and its SWAR.
E.g. SAR_MENU --> BANK_MENU_SE - WAVE_MENU_SE
SAR_COURSE --> BANK_COURSE_SE - WAVE_COURSE

3.

In the opened SWAR import the SWAV from before and remember its number.

4.

In the SBNK you opened right-click on the last instrument, click on ADD BELOW and import the instrument you exported previously.

4.5.

Change the SWAV NUMBER with the one you saw in the imported SWAV and save all the open windows in Nitro Studio and the SDAT.

5.

Write down the number of the new instrument and convert it to hexadecimal
E.g. 39 --> 0x27

6.

Open the hex editor again and change the instrument byte (81 1A) with the number you converted in step 5.

7.

Copy the file and paste it in the SSAR.

8.

Open the SDAT you opened before in Nitro Studio, in the hex editor and open a not modified copy of the SSAR.

9.

Copy the entire unchanged SSAR and switch to the SDAT.

10.

Press CTRL + F (find function) and in the search box paste the modified SSAR.
Don't forget to change the datatype to Hex-values.
Click on OK.

10.5.

The program should select the SSAR found in the SDAT.

11.

Copy the modified SSAR and paste it in the selected part in the SDAT.

12.

Save the SDAT and re-import it in the game.

If you have problems with some steps or something is unclear, just ask
