Hello All,

I am using dasding's mod tools to convert wavs to mcas for MHGen.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/mh4u-mhx-rom-hacking-guide.425059/

However I am running into distortion issues with what it seems to be more so under mids frequencies and some bass frequencies. I am no expert in working with audio files, but I have tried to following and have been unsuccessful in correcting the distortion problem.

Changing WAV bitrate - Even matching the converted mca bitrate from original files. Tho this seems to have helped some, but not fully
Lowering dbs for mid and bass frequencies, really no effect
Lowering treble and bass db, only tested with lowering them by 5db, but any lower would really affect its quality

Did test converting to mca then back to wav to see if the conversion process is causing it, but it isn't, its how the 3DS plays the tracks.

My sources files are MP3s from the wild, I tried to use source files extracted from the corresponding games, MHFU and MHP3rd, but those wavs are either too old types or not really wavs and are unusable. I could also try recording raw audio data from my PSP, but there are limitations to some of the tracks I want to use, IE: cannot mute SFX in MHFU.

Thanks in advance!

    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
