I have plans for that, especially with the 2 Harry Potter games on GBC!

I also included a sample ripper function in the tool!
Re: Game Boy to MIDI (and tracker) converters
Hi, does anyone here know which of the converters posted in this thread support Lufia: The Legend Returns? I don't see it being mentioned on the Natsume game converter's list, so I imagine it must use a custom-made sound driver?
EDIT: Oh right, I'm guessing it falls into one of the "other versions of the sound engine (which are almost identical)" mentioned in the readme.

Keep up the good work, man.
Re: Game Boy to MIDI (and tracker) converters
I wonder if there is a converter that works for Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories....
I tried KONAMID but it didn't work.

Re: Game Boy to MIDI (and tracker) converters
Hello. I am new here. I looked at the bank numbers list, and I noticed that my favorite pair of Zelda games aren't listed. Could you update a midi converter tool that can be compatible with The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages? I love the game soundtracks very much. Thank you for your time.

Re: Game Boy to MIDI (and tracker) converters
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I have been working on integrating all the functionality of the previous programs into one big program called GB2MID. This tool automatically detects game ROMs and converts music without need for specifying parameters or config files. The other projects will still be available, but most updates will only apply to the new "universal" program. Still feel free to request games/sound engines.
The tool can be found here:

Re: Game Boy to MIDI (and tracker) converters
Support for Kyouhei Sada's driver has been added, which is used in the other Zelda GBC games and other Japanese games.
Re: Game Boy to MIDI (and tracker) converters
do you have a list for what the driver supports? being one tool means we lose the detail

Re: Game Boy to MIDI (and tracker) converters
This game uses a likely unique/monotypic sound engine probably programmed by Neverland. It is now supported in my current GB2MID program (the sequence format is very convoluted in terms of how it determines the lengths of notes).LucasRCD wrote: ↑2025-01-21, 1:43:52 Hi, does anyone here know which of the converters posted in this thread support Lufia: The Legend Returns?

What I was referring to by "other versions of the sound engine" were other console versions like NES, SMS, and GBA.
