BDX Mega Pack Version 2.4
===============================
IMPORTANT: The Jam With the Band Wiki (http://jwtb.wikia.com/wiki/Jam_With_the_Band_Wiki) has essentially all the details
you need for setting up Jam With the Band and the BDX Mega Pack. Please refer to the links in the "Getting Started" section
of the Wiki's front page for more details. Additionally, please browse the Wiki a bit and you may find more useful 
information not pointed out on the front page.

Introduction
=======================
Thank you for downloading the BDX Mega Pack for Jam With the Band (E) and Daigasso! Band Brothers
DX (J). Within this huge pack of folders, you will find BDX files for use in these games. In the off chance
that you don't know what BDX files are, well, to put it simply, they're song files. That's right, each of
these 32KB files is a song for Jam With the Band/Daigasso! Band Brothers DX. Granted, they're midi, so
the small file size is to be expected. 

To utilize these files, you will need a Nintendo DS Flash Cart running a compatible firmware, as well as either
BDX Tool or Degausser, which will be used to load the files into your save file. Keep in mind that these programs
were written for Daigasso! Band Brothers DX (J), and due to various changes in data, there are some things you will 
need to know before using these programs to load BDX files into a Jam With the Band (E) save. Please refer to the 
"Getting Started" section on the front page of the Jam With the Band Wiki before using BDX Tool or Degausser. Additionally,
on that page, you may check for new updates to the BDX Mega Pack, get links to BDX Tool or Degausser, check whether or not
your flash cart is compatible with JWTB (it will almost certainly be compatible with DBBDX), or download save files for
the game. 

Additionally, please support Nintendo by buying Jam With the Band (E) and/or Daigasso! Band Brothers DX (J) if they are
available in your region, or by importing them. Not only is this a fantastic game that deserves to be supported, but you
cannot access the Wi-Fi Download Lists of either game if you're using a flash cart. Conversely, you cannot use the BDX files
in this pack if you do not have a flash cart, so it is best to have a flash cart to use BDX files, and a copy of both the
European and Japanese versions of the game. 

As for the pack itself, it was compiled by me (Rubedo) from various sources through hours and 
hours of searching and renaming. I take no credit for the creation of any of these BDX files (as of the
time this is being written, I haven't made a single one) nor do I take credit for the original distribution of
these files. The pack is far from perfect, and there are many, many BDX files available that I haven't
acquired, as well as many duplicates and quite possibly a few naming errors within the pack itself, but
I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor.

BanBro Uploader
A large archive of BDX files used by Japanese users. As such, this website is in Japanese and will be
difficult for non-Japanese speakers to navigate. All of the files are password protected, and while some
of them will list their passwords in their titles, others will only be listed in the description of the video
(if it has one) on Nico Nico Douga, and some don't list their passwords at all.

GameFAQs - Jam With the Band Message Board
The game board for Jam With the Band/Daigasso! Band Brothers DX on GameFAQs, which may or
may not be able to answer any questions you may have regarding the game. Keep in mind that
discussion of BDX files likely falls under the Illegal Activities section of the ToU and will get you
moderated, and it would be much more wise to attempt to contact me on my Wiki or on GBAtemp
via PM under the name Rubedo if you need to ask me any questions regarding this pack or BDX files
in general.

FAQ
=======================
Q: Where can I find new versions of the BDX Mega Pack or links to tools/saves/data related to Jam With the Band?
A: At the Jam With the Band Wiki. (http://jwtb.wikia.com/wiki/Jam_With_the_Band_Wiki)

Q: Can you help me with this part of the game?
A: No, this is not a guide for playing the game.

Q: How do I know if the game is compatible with my flash cart?
A: Start the game and play through the tutorial and get to the title screen. Reset the game. If you can
skip the intro of the game, it works. You can now load this save into BDX Tool or DX Degausser. If you
can't skip the intro after reaching the title screen, try using a pre-existing save. Make sure you name the
save the same thing as your NDS file. If you can skip the intro, then use that save (meaning your card
can read/write to the save, but cannot create it's own save file of the game), if you can't, then sorry, but
your card is most likely not compatible with JWTB/DBBDX. Make sure your firmware is updated, and
if it still doesn't work, alert the support team of your flash cart that the game isn't working and wait
for a fix.

Q: Why can't I download any songs from Wi-Fi?
A: Because you're a dirty little pirate and Nintendo is wise to you! Seriously, this game has so much
copy protection both within the game and on Nintendo's side that it's unlikely that the Anti-Piracy
preventing flash carts from downloading songs will ever be cracked. But hey, that's what the BDX
files are for!

Q: Why is the volume on this BDX so low?
A: Songs converted from BBS files (songs used in the original DBB) have the tendency to have volume
issues. Unfortunately, the only way to fix it is to change the volume yourself.

Q: Why is this song title shortened?
A: Because of character limits. It has a rather strict character limit, so many songs just drop off and
have a ... at the end. Additionally, I've left out spaces in some titles to make them fit. Sorry, but it had
to be done.

Q: Why doesn't this song have the ? or other special character that's in the title?
A: Because BDX Tool fails to export songs with certain special characters in the title. Additionally, 
Windows Explorer won't allow you to put certain characters in file names.

Q: What are the Nintendo 200 and Pack-Ins folders for?
A: The Nintendo 200 folder is a collection of the 200 songs Nintendo first made available at the launch of Daigasso! Band
Brothers DX. The Pack-Ins folder contains bdx files of the songs that came packed in with each game in the series. However, 
it is still missing a few files...

Q: What is the "Other Packs" folder for?
A: This folder contains BDX files that are unsorted or do not have romanized names or other data. If you find something in 
these folders that you know the details for and do not see it in the main pack, please PM me the details or upload it to 
the BDX Uploader.

Q: Why did you write a Translation FAQ for the game on GameFAQs?
A: Because at one time, it seemed likely that it would never, ever come out in English.

Q: Can you speak Japanese?
A: No. None of the "Translations" in the FAQ are actual translations of the text, but rather explain what
that particular button does.

Q: Are there any songs that you did not include with the pack?
A: I have several packs of Japanese titled songs which are identical to (or smaller versions of) the 
ndsbbs packs. Since those are in romaji, there was no reason to include them. Additionally, one song
in particular, Link (Fullmetal Alchemist Movie OP) was cut because it is somehow corrupted and will
occasionally continue to play infinitely even after the song is over. Additionally, the translated version of
Mega Man 7 Boss Theme was cut because it, like KH Dearly Beloved is corrupted somehow and will not
save if you try and edit the song, and unlike KH Dearly Beloved, which has Japanese still in the title, but
not at the beginning of the title, the Mega Man 7 Boss Theme is almost entirely Japanese. It can still be
found in the Variety Pack, though.

Q: Why didn't you translate EVERY song?
A: I AM ONLY HUMAN, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!

Q: How much time did it take to translate all of those song titles?
A: Too long.

Q: Are you that guy that posted about this game on (insert forum here) like, every day for a month?
A: Yes.

Q: Why?
A: Because Nintendo didn't advertise this game at all.

Q: I have a question/comment, how can I contact you?
A: The easiest way would be to message me through the JWTB Wiki, or on GBAtemp. My username
on GBAtemp is Rubedo and is RubedoBDX in the JWTB Wiki.

Q: How do I share .bdx files that I've made or have obtained with you for inclusion in the pack?
A: You may either send me a PM with the file and the necessary details (Romanized song title (if it was Japanese), Artist
name, creator name (if known), and if it came from an Anime or Game, the name of that Anime or Game), or you may upload it
directly to the BDX Uploader, found here on the Wiki: http://jwtb.wikia.com/wiki/BDX_Uploader (Please read the rules
before using the BDX Uploader).

VERSION HISTORY
=======================
Version 2.4 - 7/29/12
Total BDX Count: 1,314
Some new Wi-Fi songs, courtesy of BigCN401. Enjoy! 

Version 2.3 - 2/28/12
Total BDX Count: 1,276
The Japanese BDX creators have been making it increasingly difficult to obtain the passwords for the files, but
I've managed to crack a few of them. Enjoy this little update to the pack. 

Version 2.2 - 10/18/11
Total BDX Count: 1,262
Oh hey, it's been almost 6 months since the last pack release. Nobody seems to care anyway :(
Added 28 new BDX files.

Version 2.1 - 4/10/11
Total BDX Count: 1,234

Sorry for taking so long, and adding so few BDX files, but there just hasn't been many new BDX files, at least that
I can identify. I never finished the European Wi-Fi list either, but the rest of the Wiki should function normally.
Anyway, as always, enjoy the pack!

Version 2.0 - 12/21/10
Total BDX Count: 1,207 (Not counting "Other Packs" folders anymore)

A complete overhaul at last! Not only are there a ton of new BDX files, but I've created a companion Wiki and added artist 
names to almost every song in the main pack! You have no idea how much time this took to do... 
Well, there's not much else to say except "Enjoy"!

Version 1.4 - 10/6/10
Total BDX Count: 3,496 (83 new songs added, 2 removed. See changelog for details)

Just some new BDX files this time around. I had intended to rewrite this file but
that never came to pass. The good news is that there's a lot of new DBBDX Wi-Fi
songs in this pack, but the bad news is that there's still no way to rip JWTB
Wi-Fi songs. Supposedly, the creator of Degausser was going to make a new version
that natively supports JWTB, but I haven't heard from him in months, so who
knows if that's ever going to happen. I'm a bit disappointed that, to date, just
over 500 people downloaded BDX Mega Pack Version 1.3, compared to the
over 700 that downloaded 1.2, so please, if you have any friends that like
rhythm games and have a DS flash cart, pass this on to them, and hopefully we
can gather more interest in this fantastic game.

Version 1.3 - 7/18/10
Total BDX Count: 3,415 (155 new songs in the top level packs and 309 other songs added thanks to
the French 706 pack evolving into the French 1015 pack. No duplicates were removed, and some new
duplicates may have been created thanks to the storm of new Pokemon songs that I couldn't be
bothered to check if we already had or not. Oh, and Konayuki was removed from the J-Pop pack
because it sucks. Get the better version from the DBBDX pack)
The most important addition to this new version of the pack is more DBBDX Wi-Fi songs that have
never previously been dumped, thanks to my good friend Impossible. If you want details on what he
provided us with, check his credits section in the Credits file. 
Additionally, I added a Getting Started file with intent to split it from this file, but I wanted to get this
pack out to you guys ASAP so I'll fix all that stuff with version 1.4. And yes, with a little work, you CAN
use Degausser with JWTB now.

Version 1.2 - 5/31/10
Total BDX Count: 2,952 (174 new songs with many duplicates removed)
Finished renaming the songs in the Nintendo 200 pack, moved some stuff, removed some stuff, added
a bunch of new songs, pretty much rewrote the entire Readme, and added the credits file. If you find that
you have submitted something to me and I forgot to add your name into the credits file, please just let 
me know and I'll add you. 

Version 1.1 - 5/24/10
Total BDX Count: 2,938 (80 new songs with many duplicates removed)
Added many more BDX files, as well as the Changelog. Please check that for more info on what was 
added in this, and future versions of the pack. Additionally, I deleted all of the duplicate Anime songs
that were in the Translated J-Pop pack, and removed all of the Original DBB songs (unless they were
completely different versions of the song) from the Translated J-Pop pack, all of which can now be
found in the Original DBB pack or the Translated Anime pack if it was from an Anime. Finally, I corrected
a few minor title typos, and moved a few songs around to proper places.

Version 1.0 - 5/13/10
Total BDX Count: 3,070 (including duplicates)
Initial version. JWTB isn't even out yet! I hope these files even work with JWTB...
