Is this thing capable of playing back .vgm files? Or can .vgm files easily be converted back into a rom vgm player?

I've never heard of this happening! Would you be able to take some samples? I'd like to hear what that sounds like.

as for NSF export, that would be great, but it sounds
like this would be an emulator only function...
The idea is that you can transfer files using the powerpak with a compact flash card. So you wouldn't need an emulator for that. Neil mentioned how it would work on page 11, there'll likely be a converter for your NTRQ song file. The cart as mocked-up by arfink + thretris unfortunately wouldn't be very useful, since you wouldn't be able to properly save / back up / transfer data on it. At least I think that's the current hurdle with the concept, someone feel free to correct me.
A dedicated NTRQ cart, while looking pretty cool, would suffer from a couple logistics. If it'd be capable of transferring data, why make it for NTRQ only? It's the same reason people flash LSDJ to a cart instead of there being dedicated LSDJ carts being produced still. I think one of the most viable options would be (if Neil wants to push for a cart, that's up to him), to release a 'Powerpak: NTRQ Edition'. Make it as stripped down as possible for the requirements of NTRQ, have it come with NTRQ, give it a sticky label similar to the one designed here, but otherwise have it so someone could run whatever they wished on there. Otherwise putting it on a dedicated cart would be more novel than useful imho. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of all the repros and stuff like that, but NTRQ would be limited like that.

Exactly what I wanted to check out, thanks! You're the best. Also just scoped out this post of yours...
I trust in your taste and will be sure to save hardware recordings for when I get my hands on an SMS2.

Topic: [Sega Master System] SMS vs Game Gear vs Genesis PSG Audio (4 replies, posted in Sega)
At some point I'd be interested in doing some hardware recordings of video game soundtracks. Something tells me that for the best SMS or Game Gear quality, I'll have to just get a Master System. Although if there is a model of the genesis where the PSG output is essentially flawless, I'd be interested to know. I'm not familiar with how the accuracy holds up amongst the different models. Anyone have some insight?

Oh! Thanks for this video!
Expands on what we were discussing in the SAM Coupe thread... From all those I preffer the Game Blaster one, which apparently is two SAA 1099 chips, that's 12 voices of PSG for your entertainment motherfuckers!Also sold as "Creative Music System" (C/MS). I want one.
This is such an amazing tune, it sounds incredible in all versions! My favourite is the sample based, TFMX version for Amiga though.
Absolutely! I grew up with the Amiga version.
This weekend I think I'll do an NES version, perhaps as a video response. A sort of 'what if'...

Wasn't sure what forum to put this in exactly, but it was filmed on a game boy camera so I figured I'd throw it up here!
It's basically just a demo of the concept, we are planning a more dedicated part II... Hope yalls dig it.

Re: Favourite game boy soundtracks? (63 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
As mentioned by an-cat-max, Turok 2 Seeds of Evil is one of my new favorites. Alberto Gonzalez is my favorite classic game boy composer, he has an impressive quantity of quality tracks under his belt when it comes to the game boy / gbc. He has a distinct style and milks the sound in a way that's a bit thicker and more like modern chip music than lots of other game music. Also found it interesting that he tracked all of his music out on a ZX Spectrum too...
