There are restrictions in the VGM optimization and the XGM convertion: the XGM format uses frame based timing so if a VGM file use sub frame timing then the conversion may fails.Ĭurrently there is unfortunately no tracker taking advantages of the XGM 4 PCM channels and that is a reason why i decided to post the new here Of course basically the Sega Genesis has hardware support for 5FM + 4PSG + 1PCM (or 6FM + 4 PSG) so it's normal to find this configuration in dedicated Sega Megadrive tracker software. not able to find a working VGM optimizer, or maybe i used them incorrectly but i tried hardly at least. I developed a new tool (xgmtool) which convert a VGM file into a XGM file, it was a pain in the ass to convert my java tool in C but it's working now Actually xgmtool can do a lot more than that, it is a powerful tool to optimize the Megadrive VGM file (require 1.5 vgm file at least) ! I was really disappointed with the current available VGM utilities.

The advantage of using that type of format is that SGDK enable VGM playback directly through the XGM driver ! Because of that the XGM file size is usually about 30% smaller than VGM file (of course i am speaking about optimized VGM). The XGM format is similar to VGM in the way it uses chip writes logging but is optimized for the Sega Megadrive where VGM support various systems. protection against DMA contention to preserve good PCM playback quality (not 100% guaranteed depending the driver load). PCM must have their size and address aligned to 256 bytes. no size limit for XGM music data and PCM data. automatic DAC enabled handling when PCM are played.

16 priority levels for SFX play through PCM. The big addition of this version is the new sound driver : the XGM driver. I released a new version of SGDK, a sort of SDK for the Sega Megadrive that you can find here : I also posted this new in the SpriteMinds forum (devoted to 16 bits sega programming) and Sega-16 forum but i think it can be interesting to post it as well so here it is ! Old Prodigy Rom for historic purposes y_v023.zip Final side note: This list is to be added to the tracker itself when the Options Menu is implemented. Another side note: these are the people that have helped in some way with this project (info, donations, life lessons) Side note: if you would rather your real name or screen name be listed instead, please let me know. Note: if you feel your name is missing from this list let me know. This tracker aims to be the final authority for retro Sega console tracking on hardware. With a fresh slate, tons of experience and a better vision for the project, I'm rebooting everything.

PM me for more info.Ĭhaos Tracker is the successor to YMDj and Prodigy. Looking for someone to make a set of General MIDI presets for the YM2612 FM synth.
