This is a mod for the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI, converting the synth-based soundtrack to the symphonic suite recordings.


This is a mod for the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI, converting the synth-based soundtrack to the symphonic suite recordings.
The project started in January 2021 and completed in May 2021.
The project started on January 14th 2021 when I was attempting to learn whether or not it was possible.


On January 16th, I was able to replace the default battle theme with DQ8's battle theme.
==Installation==
Requirements:
* A hacked 3DS with the [[Luma3DS|Luma]] custom firmware.
* At least 700MB or so free space on your SD card.
* A method to play DQXI 3DS (physical or digital should work fine).


Afterwards, I wasn't planning on doing a full orchestral overhaul, but a few people convinced me to give it a shot!
To install, simply extract the luma folder to the root of your SD Card. Then insert the SD card back into your 3DS.
After 4 months of being lazy, I finally got it done. I hope you enjoy this project of mine!


==Requirements:==
Make sure Enable Game Patching is checked on Luma config menu (hold Select on boot).

* Simply extract the &quot;luma&quot; folder to the root of your SD Card. Then insert the SD card back into your 3DS.
Audio Sources:
* While your 3DS is off, hold Select and turn it on. This will bring up the Luma Configuration menu.
* DQ5 - PS2 Soundtrack.
* When in this menu, select &quot;Enable Game Patching&quot; and hit A. An (x) should show up to the left of the text.
* DQX - Wii U Version Soundtrack.
* Once you do that, or it is already enabled, hit Start to save and reload the 3DS.
* DQVII & DQVIII - 3DS Orchestral Overhaul.
* Now your game should be Orchestrally Overhauled!
* Everything else - Various Symphonic Suite CDs.

Tools used:
* '''DQ5''': PS2 Soundtrack
* Brawlbox - The bread and butter. Used to convert .wav files into .brstm files with loop points.
