A friend of mine asked if I could find a VGM rip of Warlock, and I was unable to find one, this appears to be because the game lacks a sound test screen.
In order to satisfy this need, I created this.

GEMS Playback Rom is a Megadrive ROM containing the GEMS sound driver from the GEMS SDK over at Hacking-Cult. It is basically a sound test for the GEMS sound driver. It is VERY badly coded in some areas (READ: Rushed just to make it work), and hacked together quickly with code from GEMS, Hacking-Cults examples (for the font/print routine) and Sonic 1 (Joypad Code), however, it does work, both in GENS and KEGA, so I decided to make a release.

Usage: DPAD Left/Right: Select Sound/Music
Buttons (ANY): Play Selected Track.

Source code is included, and it should work with any game using the GEMS driver, just replace the files in the "sounddata" folder with files ripped from the GEMS game of your choice, and run BUILD.BAT. (The required data can usually be found above just the start of the GEMS code, and is pointed to via a call to the gemsinit routine).

This release includes the data from Warlock, as it is what I used to develop/test this.

Whoa. This is awesome. Thanks for the share! Now my evil plan will finally have the missing element! *MUAHHH*
No, this is just pure gold.

And since the source is included, I was able to port the driver in not a lot of time, and got it working perfectly. Is there a way to fade out the currently playing music instead of just stopping it? Or maybe it is being faded out, and then I'm just deaf.
