The game uses a .sseq format, and i have a program that extract the game's music and a convertor from MIDI to sseq, but when i try to replace it and put into the game with two sound editors nothing happens, i still should try talking to them? I have encountered this before. Midi's used may not be compatible. You have 3 options here. 1 - Use Anvil Studio to edit midi then save as compatible format midi. 2 - Find different arrangement of same song in midi format. 3 - Use different song altogether until song shows up in game. Easiest way to change songs is by pulling sseq's out of already existing NDS Roms, but is possible to convert some midi with enough work. It takes awhile though. I tried putting Libra's theme from Mega Man Star Force into POR for the Dark Academy, but the song would not show up in game after I swapped it. Eventually I tried a different midi of the same song and it worked. Try experimenting with these options a bit. Hope it helps. If not, send me a track list and I will see if I can make anything happen in my spare time, which as of now is almost nil. Super thank you StarWyvern, i will try the suggestions, but i don't want to bother anyone into making the songs, so if i can't do it the game will not have any song from BL. But if you want a track list anyway i will be happy to do it.

Understood. I will do a bit of tinkering of my own freetime, experimenting with tracks that I personally like from Bloodlines. If I manage to do anything even remotely helpful to your project, you will have it.

Quick update here. I mucked around with it a little yesterday, and managed to get Reincarnated Soul to play in the Castle Entrance area. I am still fiddling with it, but just wanted you to know. BTW it probably doesn't have the desired quality you or I would like but the melody is there anyway. Once I try out a couple of other things, I will send you a quick demo of the progress, using LV's latest gem/heart swap as a base. This way you can get a feel for how it will most likely turn out, and can decide if you still want to go forward with it.

OK so here it is, a small demo of what can be done simply with Nitro Studio and DSvania. Music for Castle Entrance, Jail, Treasury, and Clocktower have all been changed. But note, as I said before, the quality is pretty horrible, but the melodies are there none the less. Music and Gem Swap Demo

Of course. But it still seriously lacks musical quality. lmao. Thanks man. It lacks some musical quality but i loved it! thanks man! No problem. If you seriously want to change out the music of the game, specifically for a hack, you would get the best quality by using pre-existing SSEQ files from other DS titles. Order of Ecclesia and Dawn of Sorrow both have music with ties to older more retro CV games. There are also other DS games with similarly styled music to CV. If you combine these with the best quality ones out of what I just gave you, you should be able to pull off an amazing POR Bloodlines crossover. It probably wouldn't hurt to incorporate the old character's sprites in there somewhere as well. I look forward to seeing more progress on this.

It lacks some musical quality but i loved it! thanks man! if you want to get better quality music from using a mid file and turning it into a SSEQ file then you might want to take a look at this it seems that these people are explaining how to do it.

it took some time but I did it, I swapped the sub-weapon sprites for their bloodline counterparts, and the end result was this: I did over the rom with the musical changes made by Starwyvern, I also did a custom big axe sprite to match the bloodlines visual and it's awesome. I only have two requests to make, one for Starwyvern and one for all of you! 1-Starwyvern = Put the music from the castle entrance in the City of Haze and the castle entrance back to Invitation of a Crazed Moon, it's just because I think this is the most memorable song of the whole game and I want it to be there. 2- suggestions on how to put more BL references in the game's texts, I'm already putting it in the weapons, but I also want in the characters' texts, I'm open to anything. Rom with the Sub Weapons

Small update. Just wanted to let you know I am still working on this in what little freetime I get these days. lol. Had a new Idea to help with Music. Since you wanted the original Castle music for entrance way, I thought about maybe swapping in more memorable tracks from various CV including Bloodlines into each Painting rather than area's of the Castle itself. Ran into a small issue with pulling tracks from a few of the pre existing mods we have for DS, but now have figured out how to pull SSEQs from them for further use. Now I can choose from quite a few tracks from some of the more memorable hacks on here, like Dawn of Symphony DS, Dawn of DIO, and TeamCV3 hacks, where as Nitro Studio was before giving me an error message saying "you can only play SSEQs" when trying to play or extract songs from those hacks. Used NDS Sound Extractor to pull all music from mods as SSEQs and now can freely import them to any other mod. Still have no way of listening to them before importing though, meaning I have to import the SSEQ into one of the existing song slots into an SDAT in Nitro Studio before Listening to it to see what song it is. But, I digress.... I will continue my efforts to make a memorable selection of BGMs that go well with the rest of the work in this mod.
