A newer and better converter to convert the M&LSS music format and more.

content related video:

This program now includes the option to open a rom and view a list of all the sequences in the rom. Regarding M&LSS it also contains an inserter to insert your custom sequence in the desired slot. The conversion from MIDI to mls has been improved too and should work most of the time.

Thanks Stomatol and Pablo for testing and finding bugs. Included custom sequence made my Stomatol

Spoiler: usefull instrument list

Features

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga:

Conversion to MIDI
Conversion from MIDI
Sequence inserter

Banjo Kazooie Grunty's Revenge:

Conversion to MIDI
Conversion from MIDI
Soundfont viewer (Incomplete but is able to export every sample)

Features I want to add in future updates include:

M&LSS - soundfont viewer/editor
support for any other game which is cool enough to do research on

As for each format, you should be able to edit the sequences events in the editor.

If you notice any bugs from the program or unusual conversions please notify me.

Awesome Job Jesse Big Grin

if someone wants to know the offsets of the music for replacing

The right offset is for us important and if you want to go to this offset remove first the 08 of the offset.

seems pretty nice and all, but when i open the mario & luigi superstar saga rom with it (either by doing through cmd or just dragging the rom onto the .exe), it starts converting, gets to song 3, attempts to divide by zero for some reason, and then just crashes

the result is one empty midi

screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/8IbQ30T.png

shame really, considering this might be the only tool that COULD'VE properly ripped the music from the game

Jesse · 10-09-2015, 12:18 PM

When you drag the rom into the exe or do it through cmd without any specification of address, it will try to rip a song from the beginning of the rom. Which will indeed turn out in one empty midi.

This program only works through cmd. In order for you to get all the songs, you need to put both the exe and the rom in the same folder. Then open cmd and make it path to the same folder and type:

Code:

​mlconverter.exe rom.gba -a=all

or if you only want to rip a certain song, replace "all" with an address

Also make sure you got the US rom

ah, there we go

it's odd, since i did "-a=all" before, but i guess i just entered something wrong and didn't notice it

anyways thanks for the help
do you by chance also know of a way to get the soundfont?

no, I haven't looked into it yet. But I might take a look at it soon

Jesse · 22-10-2015, 10:34 PM

Hi,

I updated my tool with a GUI and more stuff. Download and details in the first post.

Excalibur624 · 17-06-2017, 02:26 AM

Sorry for the sudden necro, but is that ML&SS soundfont viewer/editor coming along soon? Has it made any progress? I'm sure many people including myself have been wishing for a proper M&LSS soundfont for a very long time! I really want to experiment with it

Jesse · 23-06-2017, 09:49 PM

Hi,

unfortunately no progress has been made to make a working soundfont. I did however find a way to properly dump all the audio files from the rom with the help of another person. We did try to figure out how the soundfont works in the game but so far there is no real progress on that yet.

Zetto115 · 15-09-2017, 09:21 PM

I have been searching and asking, and a soundfont has been made......UNFORTUNATELY, it is of bad quality, the instruments don't loop, it only has a handful of them, the percussions are ALL individual, and it's just straight up awful, I've been asking on forums over and over and over, I usually get ignored or told that someone has to re-write the game or something like that because it doesn't use the sappy engine, I didn't rip this myself, so I don't know how it works https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6RDTwb4OndTdjItUFhwMUN6VVk/view

the thing is, this is the ONLY thing we have so far, and it needs to be updated, the only problem, it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon.
