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.

Installation

Requirements:

  • A hacked 3DS with the 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).

To install, simply extract the luma folder to the root of your SD Card. Then insert the SD card back into your 3DS.

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

User guide

Audio Sources:

  • DQ5 - PS2 Soundtrack.
  • DQX - Wii U Version Soundtrack.
  • DQVII & DQVIII - 3DS Orchestral Overhaul.
  • Everything else - Various Symphonic Suite CDs.

Tools used:

  • Brawlbox - The bread and butter. Used to convert .wav files into .brstm files with loop points.
  • BCSTM-to-WAV-Converter - For converting the 3DS audio to .wav for easy identification
  • BRSTM-BCSTM-BFSTM Conversion Tool - For converting the .brstm from Brawlbox to .bcstm, mostly to avoid errors.
  • vgmstream - For converting the .sab files from the original Symphonic Suite mod to .wav, with loop points.

Known issues

Some music (perticularly the Tickington songs) have a small click when looping. This is due to some imperfect looping due to having to loop by ear.
