Inspired by monkeymook and sidslimed on 8bc, I've compiled an archive a GB sound/music software. The archive is arranged as a directory listing, and every directory can have a readme file and a couple of screen shots. The goal is to add that to as many programs as possible, but I just launched the site, so...

If your favorite program is missing or there's some weird bug, please tell me about it.
Awesome! I have most of those programs but some are hard to find (paragon5 was MIA for a while) and having all sorts of readme files is super cool.
I'll look through and see if there's any obscure program I can add, but you seem to have it well covered.
I never tried the Pixelh8 MusicTech software. Is any reason for it not working on my EMS cartridge?
thanx for this nitro!
it's a very concise archive.
only suggestion:
what about a "download the entire archive" zip option?
brilliant stuff, really useful..one little glitch, on your pixelh8 page the music tech properformer download link has a milkytracker icon....now that would be a clever port!

That's what all zip files look like. I actually started off by copying all the icons from Zabu's stuff page that I'm hosting and then added/tweaked icons as needed. And the MT icon, originally used for all binary files, remains for GBA files. I'll try to find a better icon for gba files.
Looks good. Glad to see it coming along well, even if it has only been for about 2 months.

i got the same problem on my bleep bloop carts, i don't know how you are supposed to use the rom when it wont go on a flash cart

Do you guys think you'd be able to host a mirror of this site?

It's not all gameboy related, but a lot of it is related to gbs files.
If there's a program within there that is worth separating from the rest, for the purposes of what you've got going, it's gbs2gb (you can 'ctrl + f' it to find it). GBS2GB 1.17 allows you to convert gbs files into gb roms for playback on hardware. Without it, I don't know of a good working solution to sample game boy soundtracks from hardware.
Ugetab tragically recently passed away of a brain aneurysm. He was helpful with a lot things and created a bunch of stuff that I used heavily...

are there any tools to create a .gbs file on a desktop computer?
very helpful.
