Hello, I've been having a struggle trying to find a way to use the Comix Zone OST's instrument patches.
I know stuff like the Genny VST and tools that convert VGM files into OPM exist but as a Mac user, I can't seem to do anything to get them working or find any alternate ways to get these instruments.
So I'm requesting if anyone has the OPM files of the game for use in the VOPM VST.
Thanks!
Requesting Comix Zone OPM Files for VOPM

Re: Requesting Comix Zone OPM Files for VOPM
You can use https://github.com/vampirefrog/vgm2x to convert VGM to OPM.
EDIT: AFAIK the Comix Zone VGM rip wasn't done properly, so you might need to wait for someone to re-rip it properly with blast'em.
EDIT 2: ok it doesn't compile properly due to the variable PATH_MAX in vgm2x.c never being declared/initialiazed.

Even declaring the path's max length in macOS unfortunately didn't fix the issue.
vgm2x compiles, but when run it crashes:
Hopefully vampi will take a look at this and fix it so you can run vgm2x (ex vgm2opn) on macOS as well.

Re: Requesting Comix Zone OPM Files for VOPM
For reference: Even "broken" rips usually have good instrument data.
The main issue with the old rips is additional data that shouldn't be there. (And then there is Rocket Knight Adventures, which sets the LFO speed to an incorrect default value. But that shouldn't carry over to OPM files.)

Meanwhile I've opened an issue on Github, so hopefully he'll see it at some point and fix it when he has time.
I could try compiling older versions to see if there's one that works but honestly that's too much hassle.

Re: Requesting Comix Zone OPM Files for VOPM
I've found the commit that "broke" vgm2x.
This is a statically linked macOS binary of vgm2x at revision 4be1e282292499c2c5637e84fad641bb1b74712b
I've tested it and it works on macOS High Sierra.
It's a 64-bit Intel binary, it will work on newer Apple Silicon under Rosetta 2.
Usage is ./vgm2x -o fileName.OPM VGMfileName.vgm
