I have recently been using your IT2MID program, and I must say it's been working well. The MIDI files it outputs are "more optimized" than those generated from OpenMPT's export function. However, one thing is incorrect that even OpenMPT sort of gets right: the pitch bend function when converting Exx and Fxx commands, which some of my songs that I made have a lot of. It seems that it's mapped to the "modulation" command rather than pitch bend when I open it in a MIDI editor, and doesn't seem to change pitch very much at all. All of your other MIDI converters don't have this issue. What is happening here? Is it a bug or is there a way to get these pitch slides right?

Thanks for sharing!
I am looking forward to giving nwc12mid.c a go, however I'm not sure how you extracted the .m from the planet's edge executable?
If I read it correctly this conversion expects the .m file as an input?

I am using the version of Planet's Edge downloaded after purchasing with steam, it seems all game assets must be loaded within the exe files.
I am doing my best to explore them with Ghidra, and saw references to .m files which I am assuming are the sound files, however I don't know how to locate them within the exe.
If you have any advice in particular for Planet's edge I would appreciate it.

Operating System: Windows 10 using the MinGW-w64 toolchain

Input file(s): Sonic the Fighters Model 2 ROM

Expected behavior: I expect the soundfont (out.sf2) generated by M2MidiDec.exe to be a valid soundfont that can be used in *.SF2 compatible programs.

Actual behavior: Various errors pertaining to the soundfont depending on which program is used to open them. For example, the Polyphone soundfont editor states that the file is corrupt and the error originates in the pdta region of the generated soundfont. LMMS, a popular music sequencer, cannot find any patches nor banks in the soundfont file.

Steps to reproduce:

• Download the GitHub repo and extract it to a folder.
• Open a command prompt and cd into the folder.
• Enter the following commands in the command prompt:

gcc -c Soundfont.c
gcc -shared -o Soundfont.dll Soundfont.o
gcc -o M2MidiDec M2MidiDec.c -L./ -lSoundfont

• Drag the generated Soundfont.dll and M2MidiDec.exe into the folder containing the ROM files for Sonic the Fighters.
• Execute M2MidiDec.exe.
• Attempt to use the generated out.sf2 in any program which supports *.SF2 files. Failure.

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Midi extraction so i'm having a little bit of trouble.
I generated the exe file with:
gcc Soundfont.c M2MidiDec.c -o M2MidiDec
But now, what file do i have to drag in to the .exe? The txt mentions, for Virtua on,
Sound Program: v2 epr-18670.31, but i tried with it and nothing happened.

Thank you for your time!

tsd2mid fails to convert only "VT_04_MD.M_" of Brandish VT. (I have confirmed that all ED4 files can be converted correctly.)
I tried to give some options but no luck.
Are there any ideas I am missing?

Using ngp2mid gives me errors when using it with the sonic pocket rom found on archive.org.
I have confirmed that the following is set correctly for this rom:
static UINT8 DrvVer = DRV_VER_09F5;

g++ ngp2mid.c -o ngp2mid
./ngp2mid Sonic_the_Hedgehog_Pocket_Adventure_1999_Sega.bin sonicmidi.mid

Greetings,

All the songs extracted from Sonic the Fighters appear to be correct except for "SONG_18", which in the OST is labeled as "MISSION COMPLETE - Egg Fanfare" and labeled internally in the game as "0xAE1018".

I'm not sure what's going on with it, but it should sound more like it's OST counterpart than it currently does as extracted by the current build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNQZFSxCXhI

The extracted MIDI with Sonic the Fighters soundfont converted to WAV is attached for reference.

When loading epr-17890a.30 from sega rally championship, i get this message "unsuported sound driver version!".

Tried with different roms and all give up the same error.

Thanks for the help!

I'm trying to figure out how to build these tools but it would be good to know the parameters for the gcc / g++ command or have a makefile available.

Greetings,

I'm not 100% familiar yet with how audio is called in the Model2 games, but as I understand it a "sound code" relates to the sample? For example the first playable sound in the sound test of the game is named "sd_jump_1" with a sound code of "0xAE1100" and your program names this file "Ins50_d00_Smpl90".

A list of sound codes followed by names can be found within the game's program data starting at offset 0x9A12C.

Perhaps there could be some way to properly label non-instrumental sound files by referencing the data in the program roms?
