OK, so this OHB is for a new Game Boy music tool I've been working on that will allow for conversion of a FastTracker 2 .XM module to play on a Game Boy. There are still plenty of bugs to work out at this point so converted modules may not be played back 100% accurately. Some effects, while technically supported, are currently very buggy, so I have decided not to allow them for this OHB. More specific requirements are available in the bitpack.

Note that Python 3 is required as part of the conversion process, if you don't have it installed already you can get it here
.

You'll also need a tracker that supports saving .XM modules, such as MilkyTracker, OpenMPT, or FastTracker 2.

sorry for the massive wall of text

I really wanted to try this but it turns out I didn't have time to learn milkytracker from scratch this morning! :P

Small note: If you're on Windows, make sure you're using cmd.exe and not PowerShell.

only now i saw this battle and bitpack - the script works here on gnu/linux (perhaps will be useful on battle #2? - i used dd because i think the rom should be multiple of 16kb for running on mame/mess and some other emulators )

dd bs=$((0x8000)) count=1 if=/dev/zero of=_dummy.bin
python3 xmconv.py music.xm music.bin
cat player.bin music.bin _dummy.bin > music.gb_
dd ibs=1 count=$((0x8000)) skip=$((0x0000)) if=music.gb_ of=music.gb
rm music.gb_ _dummy.bin
