I found this utility that comes installed with devkitPro:

https://maxmod.org/ref/tut/convguide.html

By typing this in the terminal:

mmutil mymod.it -b

it creates a rom without the need of any code setup. Once the rom is loaded we just need to press A to start the song selected.

I bookmarked this page so I won't miss future posts on lyceum pages again!

I'll update the page today, as said on Discord, this will indeed simplify the set up part a lot!

two other effects I couldn't get to work with maxmod are Pxx ( Pan slide ) and Yxx ( Panbrello )

hmm it doesn't work on my side either, I'm gonna add it to this page! Thanks for signaling it :D
