My code? Whoa...let's take a step back here...the original emulator is under the GNU public license; you and everyone else here has full rights to the source...I just figured it was too sloppy for it to be particularly useful to anyone. If there's actually a demand I'll go ahead and post the source...

There's no need to stop the music (except possibly when the emulator is paused, but I didn't bother to add that in)...every time the music is "stopped" it's only because something else is about to be played, so that handles itself. Anyway, for anyone who does want to give a try, you can do...

That's all right, I just stuck it on Rapidshare, should be good enough.

Well, it's finished up and packaged with all the necessary files to make it work properly (except the rom and some of the music)...but I have a kind of unrelated question. What's a good site I can use to host it? I'm a little iffy about posting it one of these normal hosting sites like Filefactory/F...

It's designed with only Mega Man 2 in mind...the design is basically: //in LDA(), DT is BYTE songCounter = DT //in JSR(), EA is WORD if (EA==0xC051) { switch (songCounter) { ... } } It relies entirely on what Fx3 mentioned, looking for specific arguments to LDA and JSR...it could probably be tweaked...

Apparently, FMOD likes having a slash before filenames.

Get equipped with fail!

Anyway, with that, looks like I finally have this finished up. Thanks for all the help guys, I'll make sure to give you all a shoutout in the readme.

Sure enough, I just ran MM2 through a trace logger and the "combo" is: LDA #music_id JSR $C051 Already fixed the code to reflect that, now it attempts to play all of the songs at the correct times...the problem is, now I can't seem to get them to play. I'm using the FMOD library for MP3 su...

Works like a charm, can't thank you enough. At this rate, I could probably have this entire thing finished tonight. I figured out I misread that RAM map, and the byte representing the sound to be played is $0580 and not $0067...and with the beauty that is FCEUXD, I already have all of the correspond...

Oh man, awesome, I really appreciate it. I'll go download a rom patcher and try it out.

Well, the reason I'm using MP3 is I'm intending to distribute this in a technically legal manner. So I'd include the emulator, and I suppose the ROM patch (which is actually a pretty good idea), but it would be up to the end user to supply the MP3s and the ROM...and I'm pretty confident the end user...

Modding an Emu to Play Custom Soundtrack for MM2, need help

This may belong in the noobie section, but I figured since it deals solely with music that it would be more fitting here. Anyway... I'm trying to modify an NES emulator (can be any NES emu, basically, though I've been working mostly with Nestopia and FCEU) to play a set of preset MP3s in place of it...
