40 seconds or less to BCSTM, there is an option there. 40 seconds, because after that BCSTM will be bigger than 2MB and won't be imported.

If the issue is size couldn't we make the audio of a slightly lower quality and then convert it?

And could the 2mb size ever be made larger?

Anyone knows how to convert .cia themes to body_LZ.bin?

Can anyone test this official DLC theme: https://mega.co.nz/#!KFVXCADK!WMIududtgs2qMg0UeBevxqtzc6_6dlrskPhudC_USYM
I dumped this using the homemenu_extdata tool, so it should work. Would love to have official DLC themes working with this. If someone could confirm this works that would be great

The point is the only app that can make BCSTM files besides EFE (no loop) and Brawlcustommusic script is CTR Soundmaker, which is in N4WC tools, which we don't have access to. But I know someone who does.
Yeah, the file can get bigger than 2MB. That was a safe bet I made yesterday because I couldn't import 3,5MB file. The real maximum size you can have is 3,371,008 bytes, plus minus some bytes that the app might not allow
I guess it's RAM that can't handle more than 3,2MB of music at once.

Spoiler

Great job! What music did you insert? :3
And what theme was your base? It disappears every Sleep Mode only when you have default theme as your base, if you have anything but default themes, it won't disappear

I guess open them? Maybe makerom can open these files
Just unpack RomFS and it should be there... I think.

Kernal Access ????

Doesn't need. It only edits the data out of your SD card

I'll update the OP with what was researched already in this thread.

Seems a good idea, LOL
Thanks men...

Thanx spoder, this theme has sound?

 

[MRJPGames]

I can't help but notice that this tool apparently involves decrypting and editing extdata. Is this generalizable to allow arbitrary extdata editing, or is it themes only? Because it seems like the former would be quite powerful...

ok seriously, I don't understand why other people are getting it to work past reboot, and I can't. Can you give more detailed instructions? I've tried following the guide on the first post, and I'm putting two files in the homebrew app's folder.

 

[GolyBidoof]

You cannot use ANY of the default themes. Use Halloween Cat free theme for example or Cat Mario Show, it was free as well, but NOT ANY OF THE DEFAULT ONES. It's in the warnings

Are you using a "custom" theme from the menu (it doesn't work if you have one of the default themes as "base").
I have Halloween theme selected and "inject" a theme and it works, when the default "black" theme is selected it doesn't. That might be the problem!
