SNES Boredom Hacking Suggestion (Music Codes for SPCs)

[KungFuFurby]

The bad news is that I'm using the wrong OS to use your converter... I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11, not Windows.

The game Action Pachio is a LoROM game... neither of the codes appeared to have any effect.

The address was from an unheadered copy. I plugged it in, and it spit out the exact LoROM address. Too bad you can't use a virtual machine like VirtualBox and a copy of Windows 98SE, or an EeePC copy of Windows XP.
88EBB1??

That worked! Thanks! ^_^

The range is from 00-19. Anything else freezes the game.

Lately I've been rigging sound test numbers. Here's one:

Zenkoku Koukou Soccer Senshuken '96
7E0A8Cxx. You can go all the way to 25 without freezing the game... not all of the tracks are unique, though.

Another sound test modifier:

Ranma 1/2: Chougi Ranbu-hen
7E0209xx
You can go from 00 to 24 with this cheat code. The range you can get without the cheat code is 00-0F... actually, the sound test adds 01 to this.

I decided to solve this problem of having a convertor that you made that was incompatible with my platform by converting part of your convertor to Python so I could convert the addresses that I find in the SNES ROMs and convert them to LoROM addresses. I used a snippet online to get a hexadecimal string to decimal convertor, and also to get the reverse.

So far, I am able to manually do addresses that I find in ROMs and convert them to HiROM, since all I need to do is add C00000... though I've only successfully done that once.

Another one found in the ROM! The game is Ochan no Oekaki Logic. I was trying to find a sequence that I had found by keeping track of 7E0089. I was looking for an in-game music modifier, since you could choose between four different tracks. That led to 7E1F28, which I couldn't modify. Thus, I searched for a sequence that I found while keeping track of 7E1F28 (which carried over to the Title Screen!). The sequence I had was 04, 05, 06, 07 for the in-game music, so I searched for that, with no zeroes in between. The first hit proved to be the jackpot. The Sunsoft logo jingle was value 0A, and when I modified 0A to a different value, it worked! I used the code that I had ported over to Python (the only thing I actually did was Hex-In-File address to LoROM address, and I made sure to compare from ugetab's result to mine. This was from when I had found a music modifier in Action Pachio.) from ugetab's address converter to produce the PAR code below.

Ochan no Oekaki Logic
Play Any Music At Sunsoft Logo - 80B985xx, where xx is between 01 and 0A. 0B-0D are the same as 0A, 00 and 0E-0F are silent, and any value above 0F crashes the game.

I finally figured out why Sim Ant had duplicate tunes beyond 01... at least until bank ID 0B. Turns out tune ID 16 is different for each bank, and tune ID 18 is sometimes used.

In reality, I found the in-game sound test using a Japanese website... and I didn't enter the button code. Instead, I cheated by using a PAR cheat code... but in my case, I had to be good on the timing to disable it, or else I'd glitch the game out on the menu, because I'm too far down.

7E011A09 will access the sound test from the Main Menu. You must only enable the code while in the main menu (press A after enabling the code... the menu SFX will be going crazy at this time), then while the screen fades out, disable the code. You'll be at the sound test menu.

Do note that you can have overlapping music... watch the values. You can also crash the game.

Just in case KFF, ugetab passed away

Blitz Lunar beat you to the punch. He hinted me the news first via YouTube.

I will continue to invent music modifiers and maybe post them here.

Speaking of which, here's one now. ^_^

Street Hockey '95
7E010Axx. xx is 01-09. 0A and 0B are duplicates, anything else freezes the game.
This doesn't access the Staff Roll track which I found. You have to beat Tournament mode for that one. I also found a jingle with that.

[KungFuFurby]

Got another one.

Jammit
7E1E0Axx. xx is 01-0B. Anything else freezes the game.
