My own set of random vgm tools

Post by MaliceX »

Over the months when attempting to log certain soundtracks, I was curious about examining the chip commands further if they could work between different chips, among other utility aids.

I wrote a number of different tools to achieve simple tasks so are probably riddled with usability bugs, therefore you use them at your own risk. (Note that I have written others such as the binary repacker for various games, they are not VGM format specific, thus are not included on this list)

YM2203/YM2608 SSG -> AY-3-8910 command converter:

OPN(A) -> OPN2 converter. (could be updated to support the reverse operation)
Exe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o1866bgc37nzn ... v.exe?dl=0

YM2203/YM2608 SSG volume offset updater (based on ValleyBell's Neko Project VGM Mod values):

NMK Bank Select Writer (basically writes the desired OKIM6295 sample ROM bank to the Data Block.)
Exe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3bgbiopk85dmt ... t.exe?dl=0

OKIM6295 sample ROM tester (basically writes sample playback commands for each sample on the Data Block according to the OKIM6295 chip). This was useful for testing in conjunction with the above:

OPNA / OPL Rhythm Channel command test

OPN / OPNA SSG channel stripper (since vgm_ptch didn't support it and tails_ tool didn't work):

YMF262 DLL with vgm logging rigged. (used with Freq Monster 801 by Darron Broad)

When I try to use these tools, they blurt out an error saying that they are not compatible with the version of Windows I use. I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

Redownload them again. I've just recompiled them using the 32-bit MinGW toolchain.

For those that want to do it themselves, all sources work with:
gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=c99

Add the source file to the end of that. It's only one .c file per executable - keeping it simple.
Not tested under Linux but it should work.
