Find Animation SFX ID

Tutorials
1

If you port an animation between FE 6/7/8, you may find that ported animation lacks sound, so you need to port the sound too. This tutorial focuses on how to get SFX ID. I will show you to find the sound id in the animation of King Zephiel.
I will demonstrate 2 ways to do that. The former is easy, for newbies; the latter is efficient, for veterans. You can get the address of a function here.

Dynamic Analysis

Tool

A debugger. This guide uses NO$GBA.

    The value of r0 is the result: 0x263(611) & 0x267(615)

Static Analysis

Tool

IDA Pro

Step

  1. Dump the animation script with FEBuilderGBA

    C3C #ε‰£γ‚’ζŒ―γ‚‹ιŸ³
    C15 #η”»ι’ζΊγ‚Œγ‚‹ 小さい

    4 p- kinm_al1_009.png
    C3D #FE7:γƒγƒ«γ‚¬γƒ«ζ”»ζ’ƒγ‚¨γƒ•γ‚§γ‚―γƒˆ εŠΉζžœιŸ³γ‚γ‚Š

    C3C and C3D are sound commands.
  2. Decompile function playBattleAnimationSFX(805BE7C in FE6)

    case 0x3C:
    LOWORD(v9) = 611;
    if ( !v5 )
    LOWORD(v9) = 610;
    v11 = 128;
    break;
    case 0x3D:
    LOWORD(v9) = 615;
    if ( !v5 )
    LOWORD(v9) = 614;
    v11 = 128;
    break;

    the result is 610, 611, 614, 615
