Bill's Tomato Game

Awesome music for a sadly unreleased port of an
Amiga puzzle game.

But instead of porting the Amiga music, Matt
Furniss composed a completely new soundtrack,
which is superior to the Amiga one, IMO.
Matt Furniss is truly a master when it comes
to chip music.


This rip was only possible thanks to the great
guys who dumped this game and released it in
October 2014.


I recorded this in PAL mode as the sound driver
takes a break every 6th frame in NTSC mode.


The VGMs were ripped using Kega Fusion 3.64.

Size reduction:
1. optvgm: 53.6 MB -> 36.3 MB (67.7 %)
2. vgm_cmp: 36.3 MB -> 7.77 MB (21.4 %)
Total: 53.6 MB -> 7.77 MB (14.5 %)


Technical stuff:
The sound driver is a 68k/Z80 hybrid. The 68k
processes the data and sends commands to the
Z80, which handles DAC and YM2612 commands.

Music is stored in a Module format with
Patterns. As usual for Module files, there is
a single file that contains all songs and SFX.
Individual songs/SFX are started by playing a
certain pattern.

Sound RAM is at FF9000.
You can play songs/sfx by writing
(PatternID + 1) to the word at FF900E.
The word at FF9012 contains the currently
playing song pattern.
