New video: VGMPlay for MSX, YM3812 OPL2 support
Added support for YM3812 OPL2 song playback on MoonSound (OPL4). Used in PC SoundBlaster cards as well as arcade machines. I definitely recognise those nice characteristic sounds also familiar from the OPLL, due to the additional waveforms. The music playing is from the PC game Tyrian.

By the way, in this video I accidentally left my CPU load indicator enabled :).
So nice! With your tool a lot of new music files will come available for msx !!
New video: VGMPlay for MSX, YMF262 OPL3 support
Adding support for YMF262 OPL3 song playback on MoonSound (OPL4) wasn’t much work after the last video. The OPL3 was mainly used in some PC SoundBlaster and AdLib sound cards. The music playing is from the PC-9801 game Miwaku no Chousho.

Hi Grauw,
Congratz. You mentioned memory usage for you VGM Player.
Please consider VGM Player optionally using MEGARAM.
There are many Megaram options available, from 256k to 2MB.
Rgds.
But MEGARAM isn't supported by DOS2 memory management...
Hi e1000, I’ll consider it, but it’s going to be very low on my priority list… Better bet is to get a standard memory mapper, which will also work with a lot of other software. Like this one.
New video: VGMPlay for MSX, K051649 Konami SCC support
I added support for them K051649 Konami SCC, the one-of-a-kind sound chip we all known and love using in MSX games as well as on the Konami GX400 arcade system. The music playing is from the intro of Nemesis 3, also known as Gradius: Gofer’s ambition.

Note I haven’t added K052539 (SCC+) support yet, but there is currently no SCC+ music available yet in the VGM format as far as I can tell so… :)
Video for OPN mod: Mega Drive (YM2612)
DATA: Cutie Suzuki Ringside Angel (Zophar's Domain)
I choose that game because it only uses the FM stynthesizer. No DCSG (SN76496) usage.
@Grauw I have written a VGM plugin for openmsx, to convert FM-BASIC musics to VGM:

You can adapt it to extract SCC+ musics.
Hi Leonard,
Which hardware did you connected to MSX in order to play YM2612 (Mega Drive)?
