Hello all.

First time user, long time Sega fan.

I am currently building an Arduino based portable VGM player that plays from SD cards. It's coming along nicely (Sonic never sounded so good).

It's based on the SN76489 for now but I may include a few other IC's as well.

Anyway, I thought it would be awesome to replace the simple startup beep I have now with the "Sega" tone you hear when you power on your SMS/Genesis.

Has anyone converted that to VGM format? Currently, my player only plays the VGM7z format you can download here (still learning the VGM format).

I might also put some simple PWM output on my circuit as well and perhaps play the Sega sample that way.

Anyway, thanks!

Oh, I will post links, etc. when I get things a little more wrapped up.

Not sure if you're interested into that, but the Sonic Triple Trouble VGM pack contains a Game Gear version of the Sega Voice.

Could you not use the VGM logging function in an emulator to get it?

Not sure how you can support vgm7z but not VGM..

If I were using an emulator. LOL

Currently, I'm basically just sending data directly to the SN76489 from music I am downloading here.

I know very little about the whole VGM format. I don't have all of the commands mapped out apparently but I'm learning.

Perfect!
