- DJSW: Actually, all but one of those sets was done by either me or Dark Pulse. That combined with us opening the site a scant two days ago means not too many have heard yet.
Spread the word! We need more rippers! @_@
Might I suggest contacting VORC (www.vorc.org/en) staff? That should give you quite a boost of popularity.
Also a contribution guidance on the site would be helpful. And an updated VGMTool tutorial or something (I recall something about it wrongly trimming the FM data).
F3582: I'd love to hear those good old Metal Slug tunes without having to risk crashing my whole computer using NeoJukebox...
You might want to use M1 for that. Plays music from all NeoGeo games and much more.

- I suppose they could modify the ROM to add a sound test behavior to games that lack it.
And, excuse my ignorance, but is there any relationship whatsoever between Genesis, Megadrive, and NeoGeo?
- by marioman at 7:20 AM EST on November 10, 2005
- Genesis = Megadrive/Mega Drive. Genesis is the US name, Megadrive is the EU (also JP?) name.
Neo Geo is not related to Sega at all. The Neo Geo was made by SNK. I think that he wants a new Neo Geo format.

- Well, the Neogeo had the same CPUs as Megadrive (though the main MC68k in Megadrive was clocked at 4MHz lower than in Neogeo).
And the sound chips were made by the same firm I think (YM2610 in Neogeo, YM2612 in SMD)

- UNKNOWNFILE: If the game has a sound test, we use that. In a lot of cases, I use the debugger in MESS, and a hex editor on savestates to log games that don't have such facilities. And even if they do, I tend to use it to check if there's any tracks not in the sound test...
Kid Chameleon in particular required editing both a savestate (to kill the music on the title screen) and the ROM itself (to change which music played on the options screen).
F3582: The VGM format isn't really that well-suited for sample-heavy systems like the Neo. It's emulated just fine in M1, anyway, and it's far more stable than NeoJukebox... :)

- UNKNOWNFILE: The ROMs aren't modified at all to make the rips possible, save for the case DJSW stated. (Kid Chameleon.) Occasionally he'll take a look at a game in the debugger if it doesn't have a sound test - this was needed for Shining Force II, for example - but usually if it has a sound test we log it right from there, and maybe take a look at it again later in the debugger if we're bored or something.
F3582: Use M1. R. Belmont makes it. And it kicks ass. :)

Always a good practice IMO. I went back and checked ToeJam & Earl 2 in the debugger and found I'd forgotten to log the Panic Button tune, and found a strange jingle that seems to be unused. :)

Megadrive was the PAL and Japanese name for the Genesis.

- PokeParadox is correct. That's why we try to put Megadrive/Genesis on the page, but with me and DJSW both Yanks, we're apt to call it the Genesis or Genny. :)
- by marioman at 11:43 AM EST on November 13, 2005
- That's fine. I just couldn't remember off the top of my head if Genesis was the JP name or not.
Speaking of Genesis, what happened to the site? I can't seem to access it.
