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

Could someone with one of these ‘no backup’ DC’s please try TDC Final v2 in it? Ive heard that it wont boot if the LBA is less than 45000, and would really like someone to verify.

If you dont have v2, you can also try just about any of the JeffMa compilation disks

His was made in Nov 99. And mine was made in April 2000. So we both have old as dirt DCs.

His plays regular games, but doesn’t recognize the game I made for him. It’s selfboot. I’ve played that exact copy that I gave him on my own DC and it worked like a charm.

none of the links in this thread works anymore. I just need to know how to do the self boot part.

<- tardy to the party.

edit Reading is fundamental. found what i needed thanks.

Anybody know of a PS2 guide? I’ve been desperately wanting to customize my marvel copy for the PS2 for MONTHS sadly… seems nobody has the answers! I mean, its the only reason why i’m modding my ps2 (so it can play import/copy games).

I heard you can follow the dreamcast tutorial but with a few changes… what are those changes? There’s only 1 guide that I know of. It’s combomasher/mixah’s guide. (other links are dead)

and I think thats for dreamcast. Can anyone help a bro out? I’d really appreciate it. better yet, i’ll worship you! Thanks :smokin:

p.s. - Can we sticky this thread?

Would anyone be willing to help me get Mars Matrix going with custom soundtracks? I’ve been driven to the brink of insanity trying to get it going. I can provide all the data and adx’s via AIM, MSN, or the srk ftp spot.

Let me know, thanks.

what songs do u guys have on ur custom marvel? =)

ok everytime i try and convert my songs from wav to adx i get an error on all of them lol… i’m usin dkz studio to convert them… can anyone help me out?

does anyone have a program so I can put multiple songs for one stage.

You mean merging songs together? You can do that with the WAV files in Windows Sound Recorder.

I happened to me to. Oddly, shortening the file path seemed to make it work. I just put the WAV files in a folder on my desktop and it worked okay.

My music skips during the intro? Anyone know how to fix this? Is my dummy file not massive enough, or is it just one of those things?

i dont know if this question has already been answered or not but i couldnt find the answer.

what difference does it make if you make the dummy file 1mb or 300mb? I made mine 1mb for mvc2 and it works fine, as far as i know.

what does the dummy file do exactly?

The music skips? Or the ‘Mar.Mar.Mar.Marvel vs Capcom 2, new age of heroes’ kind of skip?
I’ve never had any music skip on MvC2, just that announcer skip, and it was fixed every time by a proper dummy file.

oh psh nm, i just found the answer to my question at the top of the page.

as for the music skipping, ive made a sucessful custom music copy of mvc2, the only time it skips is when it is saving something to the vmu, like after you buy new characters from secret factor and exit. no big deal though

love the site man. problem is i cant seem to change the music in spawn. the most ive gotten was hacking the 1st read bin then making an iso of the files with my new music in it. I make a dummy so its about 590mbs. then its close to 690 mbs once its converted to cdi. I run the new cdi in null dc or my real dc but after the vmu auto loading screen it goes blank and freezes. The same happens for heavy metal geomatrix. Is it because these games dont originally include an ip bin. Any help would be appreciated

Well While me doing this soundtrack Ive seemed to havr wasted about 10 cd-r’s.

Evertytime I do either it wont load , or I goes straight to the DC menu and trys to play as an audio cd.

Im not sure as to whats wrong but any help would be appreciated.

sounds like your burning it wrong. Read the echelon faq about burning dc games.

I get the same error. Is there any way to fix this???

anyone gotten the ps2 thing to work, I’ve followed the guide and still nothing :frowning:

I get black screen on some and it goes to browser on others.

Aye aye aye.
I am having the SAME EXACT PROBLEM as the person above.
Followed the guide almost to the teeth and have gotten only as far as a black screen (this is the PS2 copy, btw).

CAN ANYONE HELP US?!?

Minor BUMP.
Guess people quit.
