[release 2013-11-30 note:] Here my small contribution to vgmrips' second birthday:
Program: XM6 2.05 (
homepage)
Program Type: VGM Creator/Emulator
Platform: Windows (32-bit)
Logs chips: YM2151, OKIM6258
Comment: Modded by Valley Bell to log vgms.
Win32 Binary /
SourceMany thanks to 2ch-H for translating the BMP screenshot texts.
Notes:
- Can write VGM logs and make BMP screenshots in native resolution.
- .NET Framework 4.0 is required to run the emulator. (I haven't yet been able to compile it with VS 6.0 yet.)
- Unlike WAV logging, clicking the "Output VGM" entry toggles between starting and stopping the VGM log.
- Some of the logged VGM may have corrupted PCM sounds, but this is a problem of VGMPlay. (The clock of the PCM chip can be changed during playback and VGMPlay doesn't support this yet.)
Source code notes:
- If you want to compile the source code, you need to apply the .diff file to the contents of xm6_205s.zip.
- On Western systems, you also need to manually convert the file mfc\mfc_res.rc from Shift-JIS to Unicode (UTF-16).
A note to the beta testers: I made a few tiny improvements regarding written tags and fixed a small bug with closing the emulator while the VGM is still logging.
