Okay, the Winamp plugin was working the entire time, but for some reason that awesome Rising Blue track was crashing it. After compressing it to .vgz it works fine.

I wish I had known about this VGM update sooner. Being able to mute tracks is really useful.

Now I just gotta get used to Deflemask's interface.

Ah, glad to hear. Yeah, VGMPlay is what I use to test out .vgm files. And you used the same track I used as a test.

Now there should be nothing holding you back from kickin' out some fly YM2151 tunes!

Take care!

Oh, good--now it won't play at all. VGMPlay works fine though. That Rising Blue Lightning track is a killer!

I'll reinstall in_vgm when I get back from work.

Arc-Demon, probably you have an outdated version of in_vgm plugin. Grab the latest one from vgmrips.net

Really? Which player/plugin are you using?

Actually, VGM logs the PCM channels perfectly fine. I'm having no problem playing back a YM2151 .vgm file made from Deflemask with ALL of the PCM channels loud and clear!

I'm also a fan of the YM2151 sound

I've been working on an Arduino Due based stand-alone tracker/player for a few months.
I've been building it into an old electric typewriter

I probably wont have it working till next year sometime but while share the designs/code once it's looking like a workable solution

I checked out some of the modules. They sound great!

The problem with VGM, if I'm not mistaken, is that it doesn't log any of the PCM channels. Am I right?

DefleMask supports 5 SEGA PCM channels at the same time. The Arcade configuration then is 8 FM channels from YM2151 and 5 PCM. 13 Channels in total btw.
And yes, .vgm export is supported too (Disk. Op -> S.VGM)

You, sir, are a godsend.

How many channels does the SEGA PCM soundchip have? (please be at least one! )

Are these logged as .VGM files?

Sorry for the bump, but just in case someone find this by search:
DefleMask supports YM2151 paired with a SEGA PCM soundchip (OutRun, Hang-On, etc configuration).

I thought I'd let you know my progress on this so far:

I chose to stick with XPMCK. Here's the guide I've written so far. XPMCK YM2151 Guide
I'll include this template and whenever I get done with it, I'll see about making an HTML version.

Here's what I've made so far: Popcorn.vgm

Btw Herzeleid is still available at http://git.daifukkat.su/?p=herzeleid.gi … ds/master.
However, even though I managed to build it, I can't get it to actually run, it just crashes with a "can't open device" error.

If somebody else wants to try, lines 4-6 of the makefile need to be changed accordingly:

LIBS = -ldl -lao -lm -lpthread
INCDIR = -I/usr/include/ao/
LIBDIR = -L/usr/lib

Cheers and good luck with YM2151 music making.

Thank you. I've looked into XPMCK and it looks like a giant leap, but I can see its advantages.

Luckily I've got this OPM program to test out sounds with. I think I'll write a guide as I go specifically tailored to writing MML for YM2151.

So from Google Translate

So ummm... guess it's a YM2151 emu with midi input(?)
