Short: Converts NES, GB, MS, GG .SND songs to MIDI Author: Marat Fayzullin. Amiga port by Chris Covell (ccovell@direct.ca) Uploader: Chris Covell Type: misc/emu Requires: Amiga, and that's all! Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is an Amiga conversion of the SND2MID program by Marat Fayzullin. I compiled it for Amiga for several reasons: a) There's C source for it. b) It takes too long to start up a PC emulator just to run the PC version. c) You have to PAY to use AudioReplay on the Mac, which does the same thing. d) I LOVE VIDEO GAME MUSIC! Usage: Snd2Mid [ []] The PSG file is the sound output from iNES, Virtual Gameboy, or Master Gear, some of which can be found on several platforms, like PC, Mac, Amiga. In these emulators, there should be an option to "record audio". This will generate a file containing the PSG sound information. This is not a conventional sound sample, however. It can only be used in Snd2Mid, PSGPLAY, or AudioReplay. The MIDI file is the output file in MIDI format. It can be played on very many platforms in a standard MIDI sequencer or player. On the Amiga, GMPlay can play these MIDI files. You should definitely get it! (Also on AmiNet) If you don't specify the PSG file or the MIDI filename, the program will attempt to process data from the standard input or to the standard output, respectively (How this is useful, I don't know). Try the example SNDs that I've included! I've included the source for this program as well, if you want to improve on it, or something. I've also included the source for another program, PSGPlay, which plays the PSG sound information directly. Unfortunately, It crashes if I compile it; if anybody can make an Amiga version that works then PLEASE upload it to AmiNet!!! This program's source is from a package called EmuTools, by Marat Fayzullin. The source for several of these programs can be found on his homepage at: http://www.komkon.org/fms/EMUL8/ Other things of mine which you should check out are: pix/anim/AmiBanner.lha ;An animating GIF banner that supports Amiga. pix/boot/Win95BURN.lha ;My Windows'95 trasher.
