Elusive wanted to use echo in BEX so I ported it over Simple unzip this in the root directory Edit forgot to clarify that when I said root directory I meant the directory of where you installed basiEgaXorz www.mediafire.com/download.php?lvte1t1lry07v7kI have made a quick sample code Here it is
goto startup
'insert header stuff here
'echo includes donwloaded latest version and place in bex directory
asm
include "echo_includes.asm"
even ;just to be sure there is no address errors
end asm
startup:
asm
lea (PointerList), a0 ;Initialize Echo
jsr Echo_Init
end asm
main:
song_num=0
' Bit Hex Decimal Button
' 0 &h001 1 Up
' 1 &h002 2 Down
' 2 &h004 4 Left
' 3 &h008 8 Right
' 4 &h010 16 B
' 5 &h020 32 C
' 6 &h040 64 A
' 7 &h080 128 Start
gosub redraw
while 1
joy=JoyPad(0)
if joy.2 then
asm
lea (SFX_Beep), a0 ; Beep!
jsr Echo_PlaySFX
end asm
song_num--
gosub redraw
waitpadup
endif
if joy.3 then
asm
lea (SFX_Beep), a0 ; Beep!
jsr Echo_PlaySFX
end asm
if song_num < 11 then
song_num++
endif
gosub redraw
waitpadup
endif
if joy.7 then
gosub play_echo
waitpadup
endif
wend
play_echo:
asm
moveq #0,d0
moveq #0,d1
move.w (__INTEGER_song_num),d0
lea (SongList), a1 ; Get song address
lsl.l #2, d0
adda.l d0,a1
movea.l (a1),a0
moveq #0,d0
jsr Echo_PlayBGM ; Play song
end asm
return
redraw:
cls
print "Song #"
print song_num
return

Wowwowwow! I'll let elusive ask the smart questions. Right now I've just got stupid questions like where did my pants go?!?
Thanks Sega16!!!
P.S. How do I add sound effects? My hunch is sfxs.68k has something to do with it..

Wow this is fantastic. You kick some serious ass sega16  So I'm guessing to add in whatever music tracks, I would edit the bgms.68k file and add in my own labels and include files, right? Something like this: BGM_ElusivesTune: inbin "data/music/elusive.esf" Then in songlist.68k add in dc.l BGM_ElusivesTune And then for sfx, I see everything hand written out in sfxs.68k. Is there a way to use PCM sound effects, or do these need to be hand written and tested in the sfxs.68k file? |

I did not make any of the asm files in the zip file all I did was fix them so they work in asmx. I did convert the song 0 song that is it. All other songs are not made or converted by me. There are programs here for echo and other unrelated to echo stuff that is still useful for genesis homebrew github.com/sikthehedgehog/mdtoolsAnd here is another converter github.com/oerg866/xm2esfI believe you bgm and sfx are the same not sure also while checking the echo source code github.com/sikthehedgehog/Echoit appears that sik has updated the player code without building the z80 driver for some reason I will have to figure out how to build the new z80 driver. |

Alright, after about an hour of screwing around with this, I have it all figured out (well, except on how to make sound effects lol, and creating instruments for Echo).
I didn't bother using midi2esf because, well, I don't have a C compiler.
I did use xm2esf + gui, and it took me a few minutes to realize that it's not using the instruments in the XM file in the engine, but Sik's already created instruments. Makes it kind of a pain without any instructions on how to use the tool, but not entirely impossible to figure out.

Actually, now I have a C compiler (using code:blocks), and I compiled tfi2eif and was able to convert a few TFM Music Maker instruments over. I'll try compiling midi2esf now and see how that works.

I think creating sfx is the same as creating bgm music not sure though it is worth a try.

Actually, the midi2esf hasn't converted a single midi that I tried (about 20 of them), so I'll pass on that for now. Also, xm2esf for some reason thinks there's a PSG channel even when 0 is set. Kind of annoying >.<

Yeah, creating sfx appears to be the same, so it's just making an XM file and setting the appropriate instruments.

Good to hear that everything appears to be working. If you have an more question feel free to ask.

I'm having some big issues converting anything to .ESF
What are the proper steps to convert an .XM file to .ESF so I can try them out in the BEX example for Echo?

Step 1 goto the folder called src-68k then goto the folder called sound. Then open up bgms.68k then add your file like all the other ones
Step 2 goto src-68k/core and open up songlist.68k and add dc.l songname
(replace songname with the lable you used to include the song)
Then your song is in there.

I don't think that's enough for sega16 to go on. What were you trying to do in the first place that led to that error log?
