PSP revolution Song Freeze FIXED!!!

[scarface350]

Hi i am scarface350 from the PSP Dc emu forums. I have figured out the problem to why songs on the psp revolution game have been freezing or hanging. The Problem is the .SM file. Usually when you get music files for the game it only comes packed with the .DWI file (Dance With Intesity). but when it comes packed with both the .SM and the .DWI file, the game loads the .SM file. The problem was that the sm file was looking for a .WAV file. Here is an example. Say you downloaded a song called 123 and it came with:

-123.mp3
-123.sm
-123.dwi
when i opened the sm file with a text editor ( i use the luaide since its become my favorite text editor) it showed the following:


#TITLE:123;
#ARTIST:The Dancing Monkeys Project;
#OFFSET:-0.961066;
#BPMS:0=194.187583;
#MUSIC:123.wav;
#STOPS:11.000000=1.235918,15.000000=1.235918,19.00 0000=1.235918,19.000000=1.235918,19.000000=1.23591 8,19.000000=1.235918;

...and the numbers. the problem was that the "#MUSIC:123.wav;" part was pointed to a wav file. you need to edit the #MUSIC:123.wav; and change it to #MUSIC:123.mp3;. the .dwi file already points to the mp3 but PSPrevol runs .SM files by default. although some songs that you download are already set, some of them freeze becuase of this problem. This happened to me while trying to run NUMB by linkin park. Try this to one of the songs that wont work for you. and always remember that your mp3 file name matches the:

-#TITLE:
-#MUSIC:

line. Good luck and happy homebrewing :)
