mml2m64: Music Macro Language Importer for Super Mario 64 / Zelda 64

After months reverse-engineering this music format, here is the first release of an experimental .mml importer that produces custom music in Mario 64 / Zelda 64 sequence format, built from Addmusic's MML parser. There are also tools in the package to insert custom sequences in Mario 64.

This song is from Gimmick (NES game) and was originally a MIDI file.

You can download mml2m64 at my site:

Be sure to check the extensive documentation included before asking anything. The process will probably be easy for those already used to using custom music in Super Mario World. I encourage other people to do video tutorials on how to use this program. Feel free to post video responses with custom music produced by this program.

Next version will also cover Mario Kart 64 (including a sequence inserter tool for this game). Remember this is the very first release, so you may not get perfect results.

Have fun!

If you post a video with custom music, please mention you used mml2m64 and provide a link to the official site so more people can try it.

I have a problem...

I have tried different midi's but in game the music plays only in right speaker. But I can still hear Mario's sounds from both speakers. :o

It was a bug because I understood the "pan" (balance between left and right outputs) command wrong. Whenever I work again on this program I"ll try to fix that.

Whenever I try to type a command in the "insert_seq.exe", it just closes the window. Help?

[frauber]

You have to run it through the command prompt. Here's the easiest way if you are unsure about it:

1 - Copy cmd.exe from your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory into the same directory as mml2m64. Have the .m64 file and the ROM in the same directory.

2 - Rename your ROM to a simple name, like "mario.z64". Do the same for your .m64 file, ie, "song.m64".

3 - Double click on the cmd.exe from the mml2m64 folder and it will start in the right directory. Now just type

insert_seq song.m64 mario.z64 -all

Thanks, worked great. :)

By the way, there is a limit to how long a song can be, right? I inserted a midi song (Not realizing it was 4 minutes long) and it worked at the title screen and file select. However, a few moments after entering the castle with the music working fine, everything just mutes. Entering a painting/door to other part of castle freezes the game onto black screen.

[Seano299]

[marioblooperguy]

I dont get how to use it

[Mippish]

I sended you a PM about the problems with both inserting levels and music, but I might as well post about my music problem:

I'm having some problems inserting my custom to my extended ROM.

Whenever I insert custom music into my extended ROM, Project 64 refuses to open up the ROM. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

BTW, my ROM was Super Mario 64 (U) [!] before it was extended.

The music is Hot Top Volcano from Diddy Kong Racing:
