Converting GBA music to MIDI
Tell me please how to convert in-game OST to MIDI. I have gsf files from Turok Evolution but I can't open and edit or convert it. GBA2MIDI doesn't work.

Can you recommend any tracker to see the command list or notes stored in GSF? I tried to convert *.gsf to *.spqr (sorry, do you not know about Supreme Tracker Pro?), but I was failed.

Go ask in hcs64.com instead. There are only two programs that I know that deal with GBA music, and if it doesn't work with them don't even bother asking here. The programs in question are gbamusriperor VGMTrans, and I think they only support the Sappy sound driver anyway (Which is used in 90% of GBA games anyway).Soniccis96 wrote:Tell me please how to convert in-game OST to MIDI.

Also, there is no guarantee that you can convert any "in game OST" to MIDI, especially if it's streamed or uses a different sound driver.
It's not possible because GSF files contain ARM program code and data used directly by the sound driver. If you don't have a program that understands the sound driver's specific format (as noted above).Soniccis96 wrote:Can you recommend any tracker to see the command list or notes stored in GSF?

I got an answer from SYSTEM (general admin of hcs64.com):
But I can not use Musyx on minigsf...SYSTEM wrote: It's better to use Musyx Audio Tools for Game Boy to edit non-Sappy files.

I have got Turok Evolution. And SYSTEM also told me that VGMTrans is not possible for extract MIDIs or GSF from the game. But they don't know where I can get Musyx for GBA.
