XGM player on Megadrive

I can tell you that several of Sonic 3's tracks will straight up lock up the Genesis when you played through the XGM player. So I'm assuming that is partly what you are talking about? Tracks that I've not been able to get to play through XGM are Ice Cap Zone 1, Blue Spheres bonus stage and one other that escapes me at the moment.

Also, Stef's compilations have the game logos on them. It would be cool if that could be incorporated into the XGM rom builder somehow? As long as we know the format for the graphics etc. It would be very cool to have that.

Not only that. Try Hyperstone Heist VGM recordings; 2/3 of tracks will have wrong timed PCM playback.

I have a problem, i cannot get to run the builder. i have installed java and SGDK-master, with the tool xgmtool, but xgmtool.exe open and close itself and build.jar crash with error. please help

i tried the "roms" and is incredible the program. but if i want to add my own mp3 instead of vgm is possible or not? what i have to look for?

This is just for Megadrive VGM, you don't need more than this :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zej372op6b...ilder.zip?dl=0

just unpack the whole in a folder and execute xgmRomBuilder.jar
You can read the text file to have instructions, of course you need to have a JVM installed and as xgmtool is in windows executable format it will work only on windows systems.

i've installed this https://www.java.com/en/download/ but .jar crash. why??

Can you put the error message you obtain here ?

I don't know what OS Arnold101 is using. But one of the updates in Windows10 over the past few months does odd things with Zip files that you download. Requiring you to right click on the Zip file and from the file properties, click on the "Unblock" button. If you don't, I've seen odd crap like this happen with extracted files and executables. I've now gotten into the habit of checking nearly every file I download to see if the Unblock option is there. If it is...I click it and then extract with usually no problems.

Aside from that, other common issue with java programs can be permission issues within the OS. Not common on normal home computer users, but I run into it all the time with servers and applications for my commercial customers all the time.

java binary platform stopped working. twice. i have win7 64 and in the folder 3 files.

up

Are you using this command : java -jar xgmRomBuilder.jar
?

i have double clicked on jar file. but even if i use that from cmd it crash the same

This is going nowhere unless you paste the exact error message and/or the screenshot of the error.

He already reported it "java binary platform stopped working", but from that message i though he was trying to execute a bad program.
What you can try is to remove your Java and reinstall it, it seems your installation is broken... also you require java 6 at minimum but java 8 is recommended of course.

So there is something definitely wrong with your java installation, you need to fix that to use the XGM ROM builder.
