Serious problem with SPC playback

2009-08-04T03:51:23Z

This also affects Audio Overload 2.0b7 and later. I have posted this
problem on those forums as well.

I have found a serious problem with the SPC playback, and this only
affects one known game so far. The game is Shin Togenkyo, and the
problem is already there when dumped. The problems range from the

ID666/Extended ID666 Tag Editor for SPC

2007-12-04T20:43:32Z

I would like to see if an ID666/Extended ID666 tag editor can be put
in for SPC. This is because currently, I'm at a point where a tag
editor would really help... I've been wondering about tagging SPC
files, but they've all been foiled. I can do ID666 via HexEdit, but
that's actually quite slow, and you can accidentally corrupt something

Re: Add SNSF Support

I doubt I'll implement SNSF any time soon, since there are other
things that give a better benefit for the time spent on them. I think
a better approach for the SPC-incompatible game sound tracks is to log
the data written to the SPC-700, since it's much simpler to implement
and anyone can make logs without special knowledge.

Add SNSF Support

SNSF is a format that allows undumpable SPCs to actually play. I know
where to get some SNSFs and test them... [link]
You can get Wario's Woods, which is not on there, at

If anyone else wants to contribute, they can.
You should update this anyways even if you don't use this, because I

Re: [GMB] Intel version

My Mac development has really been on the back burner for a while. A
QuickTime/iTunes plugin would be great!

Intel version

2007-06-25T19:01:52Z

GMB runs pretty awesome under Rosetta, but it still tends to skip
sometimes. How hard do you think it would be to build on Intel?
That's if I don't get bored and add Game_Music_Emu to Perian/ffmpeg.
You could import them into iTunes! Sort of!

Will there ever be a Windows/PC version?

2006-06-04T18:43:23Z

Sadly my Mac died and I'm having a hard time to get Macintosh emulators
to run on my pc I like Game Music Box because the nsf and gbs files
play in stereo
and I can't find any windows programs that do that and the high quality
uncompressed wav export feature.
I loved that, I'm stuck on the pc for a while untill I can save up

Re: [GMB] Will the next release have Gameboy Advance (.gsf) and N64 (.usf) Sound File support?

2006-01-16T04:07:32Z

I doubt I'll be adding support for any more formats, especially not those
from later-generation systems. I've covered most of the systems I grew up
with that had significant music. My main interests don't center around the
quantity of music formats, more on experimenting with ways of emulating
them. Plus, Game Boy Advance has crap sound quality. :)

Will the next release have Gameboy Advance (.gsf) and N64 (.usf) Sound File support?

2006-01-16T03:40:09Z

Hi I'm new to this group I love this software this my first day using
it it'll be a whole lot better
if the next release have .gsf and .usf support I'm stuck in the Mac OS
9.2 Classic I like this a little better than Audio Overload when it
comes to .gbs files and the spc files play so clearly and smoothly I

Re: [GMB] A bug report

2005-12-08T01:20:07Z

OK, I finally came up with a clean solution (handle arrow keys, spacebar,
escape/command-period, and volume +/- in the application rather than in the
window).
Now that I have my MMU-protected malloc/low-memory working in OS 9 (had to
figure out how to access the PowerPC nanokernel exception vectors again), I

There sure isn't much happening here.
Anyway, the keyboard controls only work with the main window frontmost;
they should also work with the sound scope frontmost.

Game Music Box 0.5.1b Available

2005-06-02T07:40:19Z

This (hopefully) fixes all the major problems on multiprocessor
machines. I added descriptions of each supported game music file format
and what kind of emulation is used to play each back. This release also
has an improved sound scope (lines instead of just dots), slightly
faster gzip decompression using the latest zlib, and a few minor

Re: Game Music Box 0.5.0b Available

Here are a few builds you can try if 0.5.0b1 crashes or does weird
things when changing tracks (or you can just wait until I resolve the
issue).
Open preferences and enable "debug delay". If changing tracks works,
disable the delay and see if that also works.

Re: Game Music Box 0.5.0b Available

2005-05-24T00:25:39Z

I think a serious issue with memory synchronization might be present
when running on a multi-processor machine, which manifests when
changing tracks (but should not when pausing and then going to the next
track). Apparently I can't even depend on a memory write in one thread
being immediately visible in another thread unless I put memory

Game Music Box 0.5.0b Available

2005-05-22T22:37:36Z

I finally got a version ready for more testing. I've added many things
and cleaned up a bunch. I added a development page to the web site that
lists known bugs and areas needing feedback.
File Support:
- Added RAR, ZIP archive support
- Added parsing for extended tags on SPC and VGM files
- Added length calculation for GYM and VGM files
