Complete "How to Change the Music in MVC2 + How to make your game selfboot" Thread

yo can some1 just put up a custom marvel that they have

pretty sure that’s against the rules…

:shake::shake::shake:

904POTEMKIN, see me on aim.

Whats up everyone. Having been able to come online in a while. But i still try to do edit everytime i get a chance. Last night my DC Custom got messed up and i used the original, omg all im going to say its that i didn’t feel the same. So used to my custom music and color, lol.

I have a question. Last time i went to a tournament they had this dreamcast cd were they burn 4 games in 1 (Street fighter 2, MVC2, CVS2, 3rd strike). Does anybody knows how to do that. Yes i own all this games. I just want to put them together on one disc so its easier.

Magnetro: Do you just take anyone’s color edits and add it to your site or do you preview them first? I just have a few mags and sentinel color codes to share. I’ll try to post up pics of them later when I get a chance.

:lol:

Hey all I’ve been following this tutorial all the way through, and unfortunately my MvC2 Custom Soundtrack attempt failed on me. The game is perfectly playable but all the music is replaced by a garbled, staticy sound. What went wrong? This is so damn disappointing :frowning:

I named all my .mp3 files (most of them more than 192kbps) correctly as the tutorial states, then I:

  1. Converted all the files to .wav using Audacity.
  2. Since the .exe ADXENCD did not work when my .wavs were in the same folder as it, I used installed DkZ Studio.exe and converted using WAV --> ADX and used the loop option with it.
  3. I tried using the tutorial’s winamp plugin to listen to the ADX files and see if they needed volume changes (the .WAV’s volumes were fine), but every time I tried using the plugin Winamp would crash (I did manage to hear a garbled mess there too though).
  4. I changed the .ADX to .BIN for each file and pasted them over to my data folder, and finished the rest of the tutorial.

So what did I do wrong here? :shake: Why aren’t my songs right? Thanks in advance.

You just answered yourself.

…Then what should I really do? The tutorial itself says to convert with that program.

Means you should use ADXENC in a command prompt. Because that program obviously didn’t work, why else would you hear static in Winamp?

Alright…I guess to loop songs I’ll have to do that whole shebang with the long line of digits? Blah. Well, this will keep me busy.

that’s fucked up my dkz studio worked fine.

I tried converting a song using the command prompt and the conversion still ends up as that staticy garbage. I guess I should try converting the mp3’s via another program? Audacity sucked for this, what should I try instead?

EDIT:

Okay, when I try playing the ADX in DKZ, it gives me this notice:

I checkedi n audacity, my files are 32-bit or something… and more than 24000Hz…

How do I change all this? Can I even do that?

Burn them to CD using Windows Media Player or anything else.
Rip them to WAV from that CD using Windows Media Player 11 or anything else.
Voila: good WAV files to start with.
Plus you can let Windows Media Player normalize their audio for you as part of the burn process, (admittedly, I start with WMA/MP3->CD->WAV)…
… this is how I made my friend the Michael Jackson mix that’ll be playing on the videos I’ll be uploading soon. :smile:

EDIT: clarified that you want to normalize during burn

Okay the ADX files play nicely now, thanks a bunch! This should work great now…

Now to make a batch file. Time to sift through this humongous, old thread.

EDIT: Everything works! The disc’s audio works!!! Wooo!

Thanks a bunch, Preppy.

Preppy is god-tier.
