One more thing FYI, Kingshriek, if you liked Hands of Time music, the GBC version of RoboCop was scored by the same composer.

I'm not going to look into GBA stuff anytime soon. Have little interest in music on the system (awful sound quality due to software mixing with limited CPU time) and zero previous experience programming/hacking anything on it.

Very nice list of games, anything that reduces the number of red and yellow lines in the pmh's release list is A-OK with me. :)

Should be up on site in a few hours.

It isn't possible to do true HES rips of PC-FX games. The PC-FX doesn't run on a HuC6280 CPU which the HES format requires. On the other hand, the HuC6230 (SoundBox) sound chip of the PC-FX is compatible with the PC Engine with regards to PSG, and the PC-FX BIOS sound driver uses very similar data formats that were used by PC Engine CD system card sound driver.

Due to this, I was able to make HES files of Yuna FX and Team Innocent* by converting the music data to PC Engine compatible form and hacking in a few new functions into the driver in order to get the tracks to play. This conversion is very difficult as the sequence data uses absolute addresses in their control flow commands which need to be converted from the 4-byte aligned addresses (PC-FX) to 2-byte unaligned addresses (PC Engine). This can be a nightmare to deal with, especially if sequence data for one channel calls into the sequence data for another.

Due to this difficulty, I won't be doing any more PC-FX HES files again. It's kind of pointless anyway since it's not an accurate representation of the original game music. As for a proper PC-FX rip format, I don't think it's worth coming up with one for a system that has so few games (with what, maybe 50% having PSG music?). For the PC-FX, a logging format is much more practical.

* A main reason why I did these two games was that both had all of their sequence data in main memory at all times and wave/envelope/etc. data were shared for all the sequences. Other games I looked would only read in one song into memory at a time (each with different wave/envelope/etc. data), which would have made gathering and converting all the music data much more difficult.

thanks for all the hard work.

This is me speaking as the guy who doesn't understand anything, but since you mention logging formats - would any of the work you have done with the PC-FX be useful in ValleyBell's work at enhancing the VGM format? It's not supported yet, but I'm sure anything you can contribute would be welcome. I apologize if this is an issue that has already been raised.

Thanks for Description.
At present, there is no PC-FX VGM logging possible emulator.
MEES is not working,
Mednafen and MagicEngine FX to work but there is no VGM logging.
I think it's a Mednafen of open source if there is a possibility.

Kingshriek, FYI, David Beckham Soccer was scored by Jake Kaufman - confirmed both by the music (sounds very virtish) and on the composer's website.

pmh entry will have fixed metadata.

And I managed to find another unripped virt game, Despicable Me - Minion Mayhem (2010-07-06)(WayForward)(D3 Publisher), uploaded here
