is there such thing as hacked ROM of SMW2 Yoshi's Island, where someone has removed the annoying crying sound?? if not, can we get started on this? great platform, but the most obnoxious sound effects for the babies crying. my head wants to explode every time i try playing it... seems like just replacing or removing a sound effect would be an easy mod to do.

Vouching for OP here, I completely agree, I'd like a hack without the sound either. Rest of the game is wonderful, but enjoying that music on headphones starts to get really annoying when I do get hit. Clearly a small detail in an otherwise near-perfect game that was meant for crt speakers and not pc emulation. Would be great to have a fix.

To be honest, occasionally bothering you to get your ass to the next point in the game isn't really that bad. She also functions as the targeting system so I can't exactly call her useless either. Except for when she bails when playing ball with Ganondorf.

OP here... holy shit I DID IT!! just modified the ROM and replaced the hex values "A9 44 00 22 D2 85 00" with "EA EA EA EA EA EA EA" and it worked perfectly! all the other sounds are intact, but there is no sound when the baby cries... i'll upload the modified ROM right now and be back with a link in minutes...

Loved this on original hardware when it came out. Used to play this and listen to frogstomp by silver chair and one hot minute which were the cds I got at the time with it.
The crying is definitely louder than most other sound effects in game. Even a patch to lower the volume and make it more even with the rest of the audio would be great.

I don't get it. I don't get this "baby is annoying" meme altogether. The baby only cries when you get hit, and even then for only a few seconds until you pick him up again.

I'm not even very good at video games, and playing through Yoshi's Island I get hit maybe once or twice per level unless I'm really sucking. The baby crying hardly annoys me because I hardly ever heard it, although I will admit it's an annoying sound.

It's a really easy game.

I'm not him, but I picked up on those cues as well. I can't remember for sure if I discovered it back when the game was new or not, though I imagine I saw it back when I played it on a standard consumer CRT with composite. Beyond the apparent subtlety in the difference from looking at the sprite comparison, in-game they definitely have an overall redder appearance than standard coins.

However, correct me if I am wrong, but don't some red coins not have the giveaway sprite and do look like regular coins?

If you're willing to play in an emulator that can edit ARAM (ie Geiger's Snes9x), I can show you how to do it in game.

1) Open up ARAM hex editor
2) Go to address $3C04 and input the 4 bytes F0 3B F0 3B
3) Go to address $3BF0 and input the 9 bytes 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
4) Profit.

Mario shuts the fuck up.

Amusingly you can copy different sets of 4 bytes to location $3C04 from the immediate vicinity and change Mario's wail into different sounds, but this is probably level dependent.

I might be able to find a way to path ROM if the data is uncompressed. Otherwise do this if ya have to.
