Option to log VGM as VGM 1.50
A lot of players still don't support VGM 1.60, and I'd like an option to log as VGM 1.50. Sure, it's outdated, but I'd like to be able to play it on other devices which only have players that don't support VGM 1.60.
Out of curiosity - what VGM players still don't support VGM v1.60?
The only one I know of is some ancient version of libgme (Game Music Emu from 2006) that is used by various open source projects (like VLC media player and Audacious). And I'd like to see this very version disappear or get replaced by kode54's updated version of GME.
(In general I'm a bit hesitant with v1.50 support, because that's the feature that makes SMPSPlay different from just logging with an emulator.)
literally every VGM player for the Mega Drive I tried most don't play the DAC, and one that claims to be compatible with VGM v1.60 just crashes when opening the VGM file in the ROM builder
Oh, so you're talking about MegaDrive VGM players.
In that case, you need DeadFish's "VGM_PLAY", I think v3.30 or later. Also you need to disable data block compression in SMPSPlay - that's probably what causes it to crash.
