Background Music

Post by Staffan » Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:20 am

Hi!
SGDK sure makes the programming easy. I wonder if there is an equal easy way to produce vgm files? Like a program or something. Google didnt came up with anything just that its a universal foramt for all video games not just genesis.

I also see that you can output vgm files from old games, but that limits med to have the background music of old games. Thats not what I want....

help please :)

Deflemask or VGMMaker are used to make Genesis music. Neither are easy unless you've done tracker music before, though.

Thanks for this.
So if I can get my friend to make a music file that plays in this program, then I can use it in my game with sgdk?

He cannot make it "the wrong format" or something?

Deflemask at least supports more than Genesis, so if your friend clicks on "Gameboy" then the song won't play on Gen :P

But targeting a Genesis, all features of the programs should work fine.

I lead him to vgmmaker, so there should be no fuck-ups :)
