Starting with a clean FE8 rom, I insert the debug animation in place of Eirika, with S00E7 (the code for the brigand war cry) inserted into Mode 1. I open the rom and test it, sure enough the sound plays with no issues. Next, I use Sappy 2006 Mod 17.1 to import a WAV file to the documented free…

Yeah, I can’t tell you why that happens, I’m not too sure myself. Nonetheless, can you give this patch a try and see if it solves your problem? [image] [FE7/FE8] 16 tracks/12 sounds patch Resources PATCH (FE7) !!! PATCH (FE8) !!! Recall this topic in which I said that GBA…

Could you post the contents of SFX.s by opening it in a text editor and then pasting it here?

Sure: .include "MPlayDef.s" .equ sfx_grp, voicegroup000 .equ sfx_pri, 0 .equ sfx_rev, 0 .equ sfx_mvl, 127 .equ sfx_key, 0 .equ sfx_tbs, 1 .equ sfx_exg, 0 .equ sfx_cmp, 1 .section .rodata .global sfx .align 2 @**************** Track 1 (Midi-Chn.1) ****************@ sfx_1: .byte VOL…

Your method is correct - the only possible problem I can think of is the song group (which has been mislabelled by the creator of the modules as priority). Likely another sound effect being used also plays on group 6 so try changing it to 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7. Sound effects have a buffer/debuffer time, s…

Well, this seems to be part of the solution. Changing it from 6 to 5 makes it play more often than not, though it still occasionally fails. I did find another piece of the puzzle - the sound plays if I turn off the ingame music. What I don’t get is why the brigand yell worked every time, even thoug…

Is there an FE8 version? I couldn’t find one, but I went to $2900 and changed it to 0C E0 and it seems to be working. Is that going to cause problems with the RAM or something?

It definitely shouldn’t - the RAM issues are specific to part of the hack that lets you play more tracks (which isn’t happening at the moment). So it’s been solved, then? :smiley:

Looks like it! Thanks for the help!
