=== Can I randomize a ROM hack? ===

Maybe. If the hack has made important internal changes to the game, the Randomizer might not be able to randomize it. If you get errors, try disabling some of the options.

=== I can't proceed into a dungeon from the crossroads! What's wrong? ===

This happens because your team exceeds the maximum body size of 6 stars. It can happen if both the player and the partner are large legendaries. You have two options here:

* Restart with new starters that have a combined body size of 6 or less

* Use [[SkyTemple]] to edit the body size of your starter and partner species so the total is less than 6 stars. Keep in mind that you might experience graphical glitches in dungeons, maybe even game crashes.

Even after applying the patch, you’ll still have to manually assign that type to Pokémon and moves, as well as implementing new moves yourself.

=== Can shiny pokémon be added? ===

Shinies can be added as completely new species, usually by copying the data from a pokémon into a new slot and then importing its shiny sprites. Since the amount of slots is limited (unless ExpandPokeList is used, [[Frequently Asked Questions#How do I add new Pokémon?|see above]]), adding shinies for all pokémon is unfeasible.

Another problem about shinies is getting them to spawn in dungeons. The only way to do that would be manually adding them to the spawn list of every floor where you want them to spawn. It's also necessary to set their spawn weight. However, keep in mind that if there's more than 14 species on a floor, only 14 of them will spawn each time the player enters the floor, and the weight of the ones that were not chosen will be added to the ones that were. This can cause shinies to have a much larger spawn weight than what was originally intended.

=== Does SkyTemple support custom music/SFX? ===

~~No. Knowledge on editing EoS’s sound files is very limited at this time. There are some quirks that make it harder than MIDI out and MIDI in.~~

SkyTemple itself does not support custom music, but there's two other methods you can use to add custom music to the game:

There’s an ASM patch called snd_stream that allows adding .wav files to the game that can be played using scripts. Keep in mind that added files will significantly increase the size of your ROM, and that the sound quality won’t be the best.

==== snd_stram ====

There’s an ASM patch called snd_stream that allows adding .wav files to the game that can be played using scripts. Keep in mind that added files will significantly increase the size of your ROM, and that the sound quality won’t be the best. This patch is currently not included in SkyTemple, but it can be found on our Discord server.

~~Recently, there's been some~~ [~~https://github.com/adakite1/skysongbuilder experimental efforts~~] at converting MIDI + SF2 into the music format used by game.

==== SkySongBuilder ====

The second option is using [[SkySongBuilder]], which allows converting MIDI + SF2 into the music format used by game. Keep in mind it's still experimental, and it could have some minor sound issues when importing more complex files.
