Skórki DSi/3DS - Własne SFX

TWiLight Menu++ obsługuje niestandardowe pliki dźwiękowe w motywach. Umieść pliki dźwiękowe w podkatalogu sound w folderze motywu, na przykład dla motywu white umieścisz pliki odpowiednio w themes/white/sound/sfx.bin i themes/white/sound/bgm.pcm.raw. Both files are optional, if bmg.pcm.raw is missing, the default music will be used. The same thing would happen with the sound effects if sfx.bin is missing as well.

Te instrukcje zakładają, że devkitPro jest zainstalowany razem z mmutil. Możesz pobrać devkitPro na stronie devkitPro.

Bank Efektów Dźwiękowych #

The sound effect bank (sfx.bin) contains sound effects such as the icon select sound, etc.

All the files listed above are required to build a custom sound effect bank. If you want a sound to be mute, you can use a silent audio file. The .wav format is mandatory and the encoding must be PCM.

This file includes the sounds used in the default DSi and 3DS themes, along with the makefile used to build them into a valid sfx.bin file. Feel free to edit and change the sound files to make a custom sound effect bank.

To build your custom sound effect bank, open your terminal (or command line if you are using Windows), change the current directory (cd) to the folder where Makefile is, and then run the make command. You will get a resulting sfx.bin file that can be copied to the sound subfolder in your theme folder. This file must be under 512000B = 512 kB. Any file larger than that will result in either crashes or some sounds not playing fully.

Dźwięk Startowy #

While the other sound effects will work with any WAV file with PCM encoding, the startup sound must be in a specific format in order to work properly, otherwise there will be a gap between when the startup sound stops and the background music begins.

The startup.wav file must be 16-bit 16 kHz. You can use Audacity for example to convert to this format. Once the file is loaded in Audacity, change the Project Rate (Hz) to 16000, then press Shift+M, and change the Format to 16-bit PCM.

If your file is in Stereo, you should also go to Tracks > Mix > Mix Stereo down to Mono.

You must set PlayStartupJingle=1 in your theme.ini for the startup jingle to play.

Menu BGM #

Menu BGM needs to be a 16-bit 16 kHz Mono raw PCM file. Below are two methods for converting audio files into that format.

Unlike sfx.bin, bgm.pcm.raw can be arbitrarily large.

ffmpeg #

The simplest way to convert music for use in TWiLight Menu++ is to run this ffmpeg command in a terminal:

ffmpeg -i [input file] -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16k bgm.pcm.raw

Replace [input file] with the name of the file you want to convert. You can usually do this by simply dragging the file onto the terminal window with the cursor in the correct location.

Audacity #

If you don’t want to use the command line you can also convert using Audacity.

To convert the audio:

1. Załaduj plik w Audacity
2. Jeśli twój plik jest w stereo, kliknij na utwór, a następnie wybierz Tracks > Mix > Mix Stereo down to Mono
3. Zmień Project Rate (Hz) w lewym dolnym rogu na 16000

To export in the correct format:

1. Wybierz File > Eksport > Eksport audio...
2. Ustaw Typ pliku na Inne pliki nieskompresowane
3. Ustaw Header na RAW (header-less)
4. Ustaw Encoding na Signed 16-bit PCM
5. Ustaw nazwę wyjściową na bgm.pcm.raw i kliknij Zapisz
6. Kliknij OK, aby przejść do edycji metadanych

Now you have a bgm.pcm.raw file that can be copied to the sound subfolder in your theme folder.

You should then set the DSi/3DS Theme Music option in TWiLight Menu++ settings to “Theme” for your custom BGM to play on the menu.
