FamiTracker
I have looked all over this forum but can find NO mention of anyone trying to do this, which I thought was kind of odd...Is there any known way to change the music of a well-known rom image like super mario bros? Or is there no good way to locate it in the hex?
Maybe I am just missing the proper resource, but I think this would be a craft worthy of dedicating some time to if anyone could point me in the right direction,
Thanks!!!
Each game uses their own little drivers, so it's not exactly easy to change the music from games. The game systems handle the musical notes, sound effects, etc all differently. FamiTracker being a tracker-based software is inefficient in terms of how music data is stored as well, and it's definitely different than the way the music from other games are programmed, so there's no way it would play back properly. At least, that's to my understanding. I could be wrong.
Alright that is fair, but surely people here have seen some good examples of people transferring famitracker nsf's to their own roms. And I know rom's with hacked music do exist.
Here is a line rom the super mario bros rom disassembled which might lend some insight;

In any case there are some tutorials for it on romhacking.net and lots to be learned with vegaplay, so I'll report back here when I find us some better answers.
There is no problem to use music exported from FamiTracker in your own code. If you going to replace player in some game to FamiTracker player, you'll get ton of problems: you should fit new data somehow, probably with reorganizing game data as well; you should mix sound effects with music (probably they were played by old music player); you should fit everything in the same amount of CPU time. This is not some simple hacking, as in case with alternating music data for original player, so there can't be any tutorials.
