[VGM pack] Barbie Super Model

Here's another pack influenced by what GST Daisuki's been listening to lately. I went into this totally blind, and did not expect some of the songs that came out of this one! I totally recommend listening to the SNES and Mega Drive versions of this soundtrack to get a better idea of just how banger these tunes can be.

Also note that we have the full source for these! See https://www.smspower.org/Development/BarbieSuperModel-GG - in the "mess" you can find the MIDI files and the code that converts them to the sound driver format. You also get 8-character names for the tracks... | |

the title screen initially sounds a bit like wonder boy | |

Oh, I didn't know about this! Some interesting stuff in here... I see that in \BARBIE\CODE\FX\ of BSMGGFIN.ZIP there's READ.ME files from Matt Scott of Byte-Size Sound, which I'm guessing is this guy? I'll go through this stuff and update the pack accordingly. |

It seems to be his sound driver, it also references Chakan… but to be honest we haven’t gone through the entire “mess”. | |

The sound driver seems to belong to Paul Hutchinson- he worked on the music and programming for Chakan and X-Men, both of which are referenced in the various bits of music source code. Matt seems to have mostly used other people's sound drivers, so I guess for Game Gear he went knocking at Sega of America for it.
Oh yes, and I had a go at matching the final files (at BSMGGFIN\BARBIE\CODE\FX\BARBFX) to the songs in the VGM pack, listening to the MIDI files in BSMGGFIN\TEST\BARBMID\DRUMS8.ZIP as reference: 01 Title Screen -> ROCINTRO
