[ZM] How do I begin doing a romhack?

[AntArmy]

I know a bit about MAGE (Metroid Advance Game Editor) but I'd like to know how to edit doors correctly, change music (pretty sure you do it with Sappy, not MAGE) and how to implement those assembly files (.asm)...
Thanks in Advance

For doors specifically, reading mage documentation(two files included with mage) and looking how things are done in vanilla should help. There's also an old tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N4sg61RnBU I recall being good.

Can't help much with music since i've never tried it, but these days in addition to it there's tool that allow importing raw audio, which again I haven't tried. https://metroidconstruction.com/resource.php?resource_id=521

How to apply asm is covered by the old faq https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X4Szh5fKXE4y-UDNp3d9pF1KSs11jj_wghiVWE8MQA0/edit

If you're using discord you should join MAGConst(and metconst) server with is dedicated to hacking zm and mf and where people can tell you to read the docs answer specific questions.
