TI-99/4A SN76489 Thunder Force III Tribute
This is just a music player with a few reproduced screens from Thunder Force III. Don't get too excited, I don't plan to make the whole game. (Maybe in 20 years).
I've loved Thunder Force III since I first saw it in the late 80s and have always wanted to do something with it on the TI. Adding Genesis support to my vgmcomp2 toolset was primarily motivated by being able to do this, and here it is!
Machine translation will never beat a chip-tune artist's manual efforts, nor a pixel artist for that matter. But lacking those skills, and not knowing anyone I can just say "hey, go off and reproduce the entire Thunder Force III soundtrack for the SN76489, will ya?" to, I went with my skills, which is machine conversion.
Most of the tunes came out pretty good! I'm most pleased with Ellis and Metal Squad (yeah, I know that's TF4). Haides and Stand Up Against Myself are probably the weakest, and I think I know why, but... this was supposed to take a weekend and it has been nearly two weeks - it's time to move on. :)
The final result is a 256KB non-inverted cartridge image that should work on both hardware and most emulation... it doesn't do anything fancy.

epsgmod-ti-99-demo
A demo of my port to the EPSGMod player for the TI-99/4A. Although I eventually wrote my own tools, this was the first time I'd heard such music on the TI.
I had to mute the Green Hill Zone because CD Baby is claiming they own Sega's music, and is claiming revenue for it, and I wasn't going to play that game. Sega, get on it!

This is a demonstration of an automatic toolchain conversion of Firefox's GalaxyII.mod. Default settings were used for the mod conversion. mergenoise was used to merge the resulting noise channels together, and arptones was used to combine two tone channels (only necessary for the beginning of the tune), and then a single pass of smoothvolume (in average mode) was used to clean up some of the volume jitters. The resulting file is 17k (roughly 70 bytes/second) and like all VgmComp tunes, is playing back at 60hz on an SN76489 (emulated here in Classic99).
The visualizer is just one I built years ago, ported to the new player. ;)
