Converting .vgm to compressed binaries
Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2014 10:33 am
Hi!
I'd like to make a very small song binary (max. 32kb) for Megadrive. I'm using Deflemask to compose, but it's very easy to go over the size limit. Eg. adding pattern data to the song quickly bloats the binary.
So far, for making binaries I've found & tested:
So I'm wondering are there any other conversion tools that could do tighter compression? Or is Megadrive simply "no-go" for anything as small as 32kb?
Any other tool recommendations & tips are welcome too :)

- Michael Stamper's VGM Player V3.20b, removes 8.5kb off a 43kb test file if using .vgz
- badc0de's vgmplay7, actually adds 260b to the same 43kb test file.
