    Right, so I've been looking into these two trackers for the MD, and some have really cool voices, so I went ahead and did apps to convert from these to SMPS voices. So:

    MVS Instrument to SMPS Voice Converter
    TFM Instrument to SMPS Voice Converter


    The use is simple, they're command line apps. Just drop an INS or TFI file on it and it'll automatically output an equivalent "file.bin" with the converted SMPS (Sonic 1) voice.

    Special thanks to Nineko for help with the TFM converter. I also stole used some of the macros in Cinossu's s1smps2asm to make this easier, so credit to him as well.

    Oh, and I might as well note, that if a TFM voice uses SSG-EG, that part will be stripped from the voice, as neither SMPS nor the YM2612 support SSG-EG. So, uhm, be careful with that.

    Also, for those who are interested, there's a VGM2TFI application so you can actually rip a voice from any Mega Drive song in existence.

    Define "does not work" please. "Does not work" doesn't tell me what went wrong.

    I thought you were using xm3smps, which, since version 3.3, has built-in support for MVS and TFI voices.
    I'm using Puto's code internally anyway (we released our programs at the same time) so the final result is completely the same :P

    So I am having a problem with many TFI files I have, wheter they are from the TFM /instruments/ or I ripped them from games, most of them end up with this:

    My import filter for TFI files is completely based on Puto's original source code, as I have absolutely no idea about how the TFI format works. So I'd like to hear his opinion on the matter...
