gorf68 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I am writing a game for the Vectrex that is based on Circus Atari and was going to try to convert the 'Entrance of the Gladiators' music for the title screen (using VECSOUND). However I can only find this in tune in SNDH format and not YM. Is there any way I can convert an SNDH file to a YM file using a PC? VECSOUND only converts YM files to Vectrex code. I believe you can do this on an ST. Unfortunately an ST is one of the systems I don't have.

carlsson Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Have you considered downloading some Atari ST emulator, and run the conversion software inside the emulator? It appears a SNDH file has a standard header like e.g. a C64 SID file and then comes the player routine with built in music data, where every player routine may be different from the others. YM on the other hand looks like a real-time register dump of the sound registers, and this is what VECSOUND will convert? It doesn't hurt to try though, but I think "conversion" in this case is more like simulating replay of the SNDH file where output goes to file instead of sound chip.
