Guide to Looping an SSEQ file and Inserting it into a ROM
This Tutorial does not explain how to edit the MIDI to allow it to work in a ROM. There are plenty of tutorials that teach you how to do it. This Tutorial only explains SSEQ looping and inserting.

What you will need:
Anville Studio
MIDI2SSEQ (Newest version)
TinkeDS
NitroExplorer2b
A ROM (Hopefully one you did not get off the internet)

This tutorial might look long, but trust me looping SSEQ files is easy as can be. Here is a video of a looped SSEQ file:

Now, after you have edited your MIDI file using FL Studio or any other program that edits MIDI files, save it to the same folder as the new MIDI2SSEQ.
Open the MIDI with Anville Studio and select the Piano Roll editor. Move the blue pointer to where your MIDI will loop. Note that the numbers above the bar is the time, not the bar number.
Select the Edit tab and click on 'Insert MIDI event...'
Check both boxes and then where it says 'Kind of Event' click on the tab and search for 'Marker'.
When you have done that, in the box below type this: LoopStart
This is case sensitive. Press OK.
Go to the end of the MIDI, do the same things but this time, type LoopEnd in the box.
This is also case sensitive. Click OK.
When you have done that, click on the file tab and select 'Export MIDI-format 0 file'
Save your MIDI to the MIDI2SSEQ folder and preferably name it 'loop'.
Now dragging the MIDI into the new MIDI2SSEQ will not work, so you will need to press 'Control + Shift + Right Click' and select 'Open command window here'.
Drag MIDI2SSEQ into the command and delete the .exe that goes after it. now type this after MIDI2SSEQ: loop.mid loop.sseq
So your command should look like this: MIDI2SSEQ loop.mid loop.sseq
Press Enter and done! Your SSEQ will be created.
Now to insert it into a ROM, extract your ROM's .sdat file. Open this .sdat file in TinkeDS and select view in the bottom right corner.
Click on the SSEQ folder and search for your .SSEQ that you want to replace. Click on it and select 'Change file'. Now all you need to do is find your looped SSEQ and replace the original file in the ROM and save the .sdat. Now insert it back into the ROM using NitroExplorer2b and test out your new Music.
