i want to know if is possible to add to the editor a preview of the music (like a reproductor). i mean like, when you click in the zone, where you choose the music, beside of the arrow you can put a button to play it. so with it, we can see how the song sounds like.
i hope this can be added.

That would be a very good idea

Are we going to port VGMTrans for this?

It's not easy at all. Playing DS music needs accurate emulation of the DS sound engine and the SSEQ format.

Also, for now, the editor doesn't even have support to read stuff from SDAT files.


Anyways, what'd it be useful for? There' are not that many musics in NSMB, I always know which one is which

For music hacking its VERY useful. It saves a lot of testing time. Instead of starting the game and entering a level, you can click a button and ZAPPP!! Music plays

Oh, I see. It could be useful for testing out music hacks.

Still it'd require very accurate emulation to be useful... Probably not going to happen

Couldn't you accomplish this with DeSmuME's sound emulation? Isn't DeSmuME FOSS?

And Gericoms MKDS editor is also able to preview music Then YOU can of course make it

Maybe, but desmume only emulates the sound hardware. We'd need to emulate/reimplement/whatever Nintendo's library code, the one that passes data from SSEQ to the audio hardware

Not easy.

EDIT

His does because he has copypasted the code for it from somewhere else. I don't want to do that with NSMBe.

Quality and stability > features.

YEAH that's what i want that button, so please improve it
i think you can see the code of VGMTrans (i know you don't want to make NSMBe a recopilation of programs) but you can modify that code.

This could also be done by using compressed .mp3s of NSMB's OST and built directly into the editor. It won't work for custom music, but it can give the person a better understanding of what track they are choosing so they don't have to use trial and error to find the right one.

I'm not going to bundle MP3's into NSMBe. That'd make it unnecessary big, would be useless for testing hacked music, and has copyright issues.

Is it really THAT hard to know which track it is based on the names!? I've never had any problem with it!

Most of the Music is easy to recognize. But there are a few names which could be used for multiple tracks in the game so you need to find the right one.
(But if you've already memorized it, you won't be able to see it from our perspective fully.)

Hmm, I've never "memorized" them. It's just that, from having played the game, I remember which is which

Which ones are easy to confuse? Maybe we can change the names so that they're more descriptive?
