You have to click on S. ROM button and the rom will be automatically generated and saved. smile

So, I kidnaped DeadFish. tongue

Is there somewhere i can download a working version of VGM_play 3.10? the patched version i mean.

The vgm files generated by vgmmaker appear to output dac samples before a seek command. It was assumed that all files would seek before a dac event and the previous contents of  the dac indexing register was the control port $C00000. It seems that reading a byte from the control port crashes the real hardware. This problem was fixed by initializing the dac index register to the start of the dac data block.

This little program will patch vgm_play.exe V3.10 to fix the vgmmaker problem

The contents of this thread suggest that there is a problem with the rom builder, and yes its full of bugs and needs rewriting. I stubbornly decided to try and write my own gui programming framework so now the rombuilder is in a terrible state. Drag and drop is broken but adding files by clicking on the button works, I could not find any problems with the rom builder in relation to these vgm files.

I'm not interested in writing yet another MOD/XM tracker, sorry.

I'm gonna go write Micheal Stamper - he helped me out with the whole ROM padding thing in VGMplay 3.0 - I'm sure he'll fix this. It's probs something very small in the code.

Also - haven't seen you in 4evr Boo - you should come hang at 8static again!! we miss ya.

Hey, man.  Yeah it's been a while. smile  May do 8static one of these days. big_smile

Good to know that DeadFish (Matthew) is still alive and active doing his thing.  I decided that I would attempt to troubleshoot the issue and determined the amounts of points of failure.  I started on a hunch with the GD3 footer information and was right.

Something that also doesn't work in VGM_PLAY v3.1 is his VGC support.  Using his VGMConv application, we're able to compress VGM files to an undocumented format that he made, but when processing them with the VGM_PLAY v3.1 application, a strange error saying "OUT OF MEMORY:  this may also be a bug," or something of the like appears.  If the VGM_PLAY v3.1 application actually banks and decompresses compressed VGM to VGC files, it would mean more available songs per binary file.  Taking into account that the compression most likely only compresses pattern and instrument data.  Compression of sample information would potentially cause more problems than help.  With compression of pattern and instrument data, the only cost would be CPU resources; resulting in a small pause from decrunching between song loads.

I'm hoping that someone creates a binary song format for Genesis and 32X some time soon; like NSF, SID, SGC, etc...  Would also be nice if VGM  MM takes advantage of 32X PWM, being that the VGM format supports it! big_smile

GD3 works in other players? They play VGMs? If there is similar problem in some other player, then OK, needs to be fixed in the exporter, but so far only VGMPLAY 3.00 does not work.

Currently it is like, you know, fixing a game that works on the hardware and in every but one emulator.

Samples in Genesis games are often uncompressed, so you can get them just by opening a ROM as 8-bit raw PCM.
