Is there a way to remove sound from NDS or GBA roms? I play my NDS alot of the times at school when I have down time and don't have the volume on at all.  This would save a lot of space!  Can it be done?

It won't make a huge dent on GBA games because all games store their music in a form similar to .midi in computers. It's basically just sheet music that the GBA uses to play it's internal "instruments".

It's a bit of a different story on the DS. While most music is stored this way on most games... there are also a lot of games now that are using real music and have lots of voice samples.

You can use ndstool to seperate all the elements of the game and then delete the sound file... but the problem is a lot of games will lock up and/or crash when they try to play the sound files and they aren't there.

You might be able to not delete the sound file but replace it with a very small (0 or 1 byte if it needs information file) just a thought--never tried it.  But that way the file is there to play... just not nearly as large.

Any idea on how to go about this?  What programs to use and possibly where to find such a small sound file.
