Making .gba roms with PCX images with sound?

[AkitoUF]

I know how to bring PCX images to a .gba file with PCX Viewer with the devkit and also know you can make slideshows with music with JPEGs, the problem is JPEG is a horrible format with lots of artifacts in the resulting image.
Is there a way to add a .wav music file to a gba rom made with PCXViewer or to bring a pcx image from there to a rom made with GBA JPEG Viewer?

Use the MaxMod library. You place your (.wav) file into the "data" folder, and define them using the following:

(i.e., "myeffect.wav")

    mm_sound_effect myeffect = {
        { SFX_MYEFFECT } ,            // id
        (int)(1.0f * (1<<10)),    // rate
        0,        // handle
        255,    // volume
        0,        // panning
    };

mmEffect(&myeffect);

More information can be found in the developer documentation: https://maxmod.devkitpro.org/ref/
Or use one of the examples that come with devkitPro.

Thanks! Will give this a try.
Last time I tried a lot of different things trying to copy lines from the MaxMod makefile file into the pcx makefile to just place a wav music file with the PCX image of my choosing but nothing worked.
There's also this size limitation with the files?

If you get this working, I'd like to know too. I can get PCXView working but I'd love some music to go with it.

devkitPro has a PCX example for GBA too, and yes, its possible to use MaxMod to add music or sound.

I have devkit pro, thats what I've been using. I guess I just don't know how to install MaxMod to the devkit Pro directories.

MaxMod should already be bundled after installing DKP on your PC. Usually, it should be located in "devkitpro/libgba/lib/libmm.a".

I have to get to bed, but I'll explore this tomorrow night after work. Looks like a fun rabbit hole if I can get it working.
