Thank you RoyTheDragon for patching up my video ^^

Notes: See https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald and https://tcrf.net/Notes:Pokémon_Emerald

I made a cheat code to replace part of one of the trumpets in Battle Frontier theme's Direct Sound B so you don't have to assemble the ROM. ^^ 08676AE8 XXXXXXXX (note there is a colon before XXXXXXXX).

For the values, check the MAP file mentioned in the TCRF article and enter the byte pairs back to front (e.g. for 0x00000000086bdc80 DirectSoundWaveData_unused_guitar_separates_power_chord XXXXXXXX is 80DC6B08.

The current labels for the unused or unknown instruments showcased in this video are:

DirectSoundWaveData_unused_guitar_separates_power_chord (probably inspired the Lysandre guitar sounds/the Generation IV Pokémon Electivire etc.)

DirectSoundWaveData_unused_sd90_oboe
DirectSoundWaveData_unused_sc88pro_unison_slap
DirectSoundWaveData_unknown_snare
DirectSoundWaveData_unused_sc55_tom
DirectSoundWaveData_unknown_close_hihat
DirectSoundWaveData_unknown_open_hihat
DirectSoundWaveData_unknown_bell
DirectSoundWaveData_unused_heart_of_asia_indian_drum
DirectSoundWaveData_unknown_koto_high
DirectSoundWaveData_unknown_koto_low
DirectSoundWaveData_unknown_female_voice (probably different to the Bard voice)
DirectSoundWaveData_unused_unknown_male_voice (probably different to the Bard voice)
DirectSoundWaveData_unknown_synth_snare

Hi, I'm the one who named and documented the instruments in pokeemerald. The oboe is actually used in FRLG for the ending theme, so I wouldn't call it completely unused, though it is unused in Emerald's songs. Also, some of those "unused" ones are actually not unused (because I messed up and didn't see that some songs actually did use them). Also, for clarification: the "unknown" doesn't mean "don't know where it's used," it means "don't know what they sampled it from," i.e. the source is unknown. For example, the hihats were unknown at the time of naming (they're known now), but they are certainly not unused. The koto is also used--listen to the Battle Arena theme. The unknown female voice sample is also used in Battle Pike (and yes, neither of the voice samples have anything to do with the bard samples). "
