I tried making a sound effect in my game that uses channel 2, but MOD2PSG2 decided to automatically null any channel that wasn't being used, so when the sfx played, the music on channels 1 and 0 stopped. Is there a way to make MOD2PSG2 NOT automatically null those channels for a sfx, or am I making sfxs wrong?

when you turn VGMs to PSGs for sound effects, you should always use vgm2psg's third parameter:

*** sverx's VGM to PSG converter ***
Usage: vgm2psg inputfile.VGM outputfile.PSG [2|3|23]
the optional third parameter specifies which channel(s) should be active,
for SFX conversion:
- 2 means the SFX is using channel 2 only
- 3 means the SFX is using channel 3 (noise) only
- 23 means the SFX is using both channels

which in your case means you should do

vgm2psg your_sfx.vgm your_sfx.psg 2

That worked. Thank you so much!
