This is a mod for the 3DS version of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, replacing the OST from the N64 version.

It is made after completing MSU-1 pack for A Link to the Past, with help from qwertymodo converting the original soundtrack from ALTTP to .pcm in order to fix the music from cutting out when multiple sounds are playing. Turns out Majora's Mask music is in .bcstm format (basically .pcm) which led to this project.

Installation

This can be used with Project Restoration by leoetlino (recommend).

Also, the [Optional] folder contains Keatons Quiz Replacer and Quieter Ocarina songs.

Luma

Hold Select while booting your 3DS and enable game patching in the Luma configuration menu.
On your SD card, put the RomFS folder into luma/titles/<titleid>/.
- USA - 0004000000125500
- EUR - 0004000000125600
Insert your SD card, restart the system, and changes should take place when you launch the game.

Citra

Download the 3DS .NET Toolkit and use it to extract your Decrypted CCI/.3DS/.CIA ROM of the game.
Replace the files in the extracted RomFS directory with the ones from the .zip and rebuild the .3DS/.CIA file.
Then you can run/install it in Citra.

User guide

Songs that cannot be replaced

130NA_BGM_STAFFROLL2.dspadpcm.wav and 130NA_BGM_STAFFROLL2.dspadpcm_1.wav can't be replaced because they're not in the original rips.
NA_BGM_M_BARQUARTET.wav while replacing that is possible, it didn't sound very good and it was left unchanged.
The shop music, boat ride, milk bar, and minigame music are mono and sound like they're playing out of a radio.
- For some reason porting the originals causes extreme audio bugs and sometimes crashes, even when converted to mono.
- And the rest are just sound effects.

Editing process

The following tools are used for making this mod:

If you want to play these files back you need Foobar2000 and vgmstream decoder.

Process for editing the files in v2.0 went as follows.

Pre edits:

Convert 3DS .bcstm files to .wav using foobar and place them in a folder called 3dswav.
Convert .miniusf rips to .wav using foobar and place them in a folder called 64wav.
Open Audacity and drag all the 64wav files into it.
CTRL + A to select all and change tempo to 6.1 to match the speed of the 3DS rip.
Export multiple into a folder called 64sped.

Edit edits:

Drag single 3DSwav file followed by the matching 64sped file.
Check hh:mm:ss + miliseconds to find the exact time of the miniusf rip now that it's sped up.
Open the slow 64wav rip in FL Studio and normalize if the waveform is too small.
Time stretch / pitch shifter then put length as exact miliseconds.
Export.
Drag this new rip into the same Audacity window as before.
Find loop points (if there are any) and put them into loop.txt.
If anything clips fix it.
Click the [x]s on the other rips and leave only this new edited rip.
Export at 32000hz .wav with metadata removed and then convert to .bcstm using Looping Audio Converter.
