Pokémon HeartGold: Custom Sound Bank Test
25Special thanks to recordreader and CrystalLink for helping me along the way with testing, and other various things!
This appended "test" suffix never gets old, huh?
This time, I did something that will definitely be useful for hackers of the 4th Generation and 5th Generation of Pokémon music hackers. I was able to create a custom sound bank (.sbnk) and wave archive (.swar) and insert it into the game using a tool, and was able to get it to play successfully!
This basically means we're now able to change the instruments that have been reserved for a song, adding more songs, and even adding instruments (such as 8bit)! Isn't that cool?
Tools used:
- Tinke (for replacing the SDAT of the ROM).
- Nitro Sound Maker (for building the SDAT).
- Nitro Player (for viewing an existing SDAT for informational purposes).
- Nitro Composer (for making the sound files ready for SDAT creation).
