I don't like the guides that we currently have for custom music in SSBM. One doesn't make any sense and is more concerned about showboating irrelevant technicalities of the hps format and the other one doesn't work at all.
I thought it was unfortunate that the only guides for SSBM custom stage music were utter crap, so I decided to make my own video tutorials. There is one tutorial for music that loops at a specific time (custom loop) and another for songs that simply loop from beginning to end (basic loop).
BASIC LOOP:
Your song starts at the beginning and plays to the end. Then it plays from the beginning again.
CUSTOM LOOP:
Your song has some sort of intro (or not) and plays to the end. Then it loops back to some point in the middle of the song, not at the very beginning.
Here are the things you will need:
Audacity
If you know what you are doing, you can use a different audio editing program.
SSBM Audio Tools and Replacement Files
Please download and install Audacity and the .rar file before trying to follow the video tutorials. I highly recommend turning on annotations.
NOTE: If you know that your song/loop is less than 3 Minutes 38 Seconds, you can use Offsets_GARDEN.txt and garden.hps instead of Offsets.txt and NameOfStage.hps. This will save you file space, and you will not have to go through the trouble of hex editing the end of the .hps file.

Part 2B: Editing Sound, Hex, and Saving Sound File (Basic Loop)
Part 3A: Hex Editing and Saving Sound File (Custom Loop)
