i am found this news: if romspace in not a problem - i mean over 4mb - it can be used 6500 frequency 8bit PCM samples. no need to packed it into DPCM 4bit. but better is find how to correct prepare sample to decode into DPCM and get nice quality as original samples have. but no one know it ...

nope, it didnt says to me anything

maybe you know some urls to read for that Krysalis explanations? how it store patches, sequenses and etc.

didnt understand anything can it find where is music and patches and sounds and whatever it is for Alien 3? it should be Krisalis.

Deflemask cant read vgm. it is used for export, but not for import. it need to parse vgm, store all events, and recreate them with deflemask's file format. it can be two problem. first is - vgm no have bpm. it will need some manual count. second is - if some note use any bend of slide or pitch or ...

oh, i didnt add that info, what i found later about that bug :)

GEMS have modulation buffer. some kind of... 128 bytes probably. and it split between 4 modulation - per 32 bytes for one. it no have rewrite options. i mean when over 10 iterations happen - need to write what is left of that ...

as you know, when you press and hold any keyboard button - for example A - when you press, it write A, hold button, a little pause, then start spam that button AAAAAAAAAAA. it is same work with array buttons? when i play Mortal Kombat 3 and choice Liu Kang. as you know he have some special movements ...

with this part becomes to more accurate, but anyway too many hiss :(((

last time i am ask to help with move some data from original MK3 rom, but then i am do this my own... it was interesting experience. it was made not realy correct, but fine for me (i have not realy romhacking knowledge, just very basic :))

it was made for this case: i want to make some sound ...

for create some bend, slides - GEMS have modulation. it is instructions, where says how frequency of note need to be changed in a time.
it have:
2 bytes - starting pitch
[segment]
1 byte - counter
2 bytes - speed
[segment]
1 byte - 0 - end of modulation.

GEMS software for modulation editor shows it ...

for our Dune Editor i am make some kind of this: https://youtu.be/_aXBJSHahNI
it is russian voice video, but main concept, i think, will be clear - import images to temporaly buffer, cut items what you need or use full screen, import this images into exist palette, or make his own 15 colors palette ...

as i can see - you are too curse all effects of deflemask ))

o! in a past i am trying to convert from deflemask into GEMS too but i curse all deflemask's effect with pitchs or slides, or how it names.

commercial? )) this software will be used by 5-10 mans... what commercial you talking? it is just for romhackers comunity.

maybe you have some dll of YM2612 for using in another programm languages? i mean send command like:
SendToYM2612(register, value) like OPN.dll, that give me ValleyBell... i see full code, but i think i cant to port this to my language...
