Homebrew I've been having trouble with making a custom theme

[HomicidalNacho]

It all works fine until I add extra sound effects. As you can see in the video, the first theme I install works perfectly fine. On that one, I only have a sound effect for launching an application and a sound effect for opening the 3DS. However, when I add more sound effects to the theme, such as creating a folder or closing an application, the home menu simply refuses to load and crashes the 3DS. From then on it crashes every time I boot the 3DS, so I have to delete my home menu data. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Does it work if you build the theme without any custom sfx?

Make sure you are using https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-usagi-3ds-theme-editor-net-library-testers-wanted.412233/ to build your themes.

And switch to https://github.com/astronautlevel2/Anemone3DS/ , its a much better replacement for themely, especially since the theme site that themely uses is now dead.

Install it with anemone3DS and then try and see what happens.

Yeah, it loads just fine.

Make sure you are using Usagi 3DS Theme Editor to build your themes.

I've been using Usagi.
I already have Anemone3DS, but it refused to load the theme. At all. Didn't crash the system or anything, just didn't load it.

Are the sound effects too big for the theme? Have you tried using different audio files and seeing if the problem is with the sound effect files that you are putting in? Try ripping some sound effects from some other themes, exporting it to mp3 and compare the source file to the one you are trying to use. Comparing the file to one that you know works might show some differences and from there you can figure out how to fix it.
