Re: Read VTX or AFX or other Raw AY-3-8910? (3 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
You are right, I am looking for VTX format info, or YM3 (which is embedded in VTX), or AFX, or even PSG. I have not tried VGM.
The format for data is not clearly described for VTX, but the header is. I am able to open/read the header, but the register content is a mystery to me.
There are so many good musics and sounds out there made for the AY-3-8910, I don't really care what the format is, as long as I can read the register instructions and output to ASCII, I'm happy with what I get. 
Thanks.

I would like to create a Win32 program that reads/extracts data from the .vtx or .afx or .ay file format. I have not yet found any documentation on how to read the music content. I have read the header of a .vtx but the bytes that make up the register/instructions are still a mystery.
Can anyone point me to firm docs on how to read these formats? I want to write them out to ASCII so the sequencing and instructions will live on and can be replayed on other places.
I did find https://github.com/gasman/libayemu/blob … format.txt but I did not understand enough.
Thanks.
