A guide to change Mega Man sound effects?

Post by MuusiV2 »

I'm slowly getting into ROM hacking and I'd like to know, how do i modify sounds in a game like Mega Man 4? I'd like to do simple rom hack to change the damage sound effect of Mega Man 4 to match the one in Mega Man 2. Where do i start?

Capcom has had two major sound engines which are incompatible with eachother, the "old" sound engine being used in Mega Man and Mega Man 2, and the "new" one in Mega Man 3 to Mega Man 4.

You should start to learn how each of the sound engine works and how their data is stored :
