Create ROM Feature - Song debug on real hardware.

Open Soulchip opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Is it possible to create a rom for the songs we make with Furnace like in Deflemask? I was about to test my songs with dual PCM on Sega genesis and found out I can't even create a vgm or rom to test on my console. On Deflemask I was able to create a rom and test in hardware for accuracy and song bugs.

Not yet. ROM export will start being developed after 0.6, for 0.7.

However, there exists a tool that convert Furnace Mega Drive modules into real MD ROMs, via Fractal Sound System.

Currently it is not possible due to the difficulty of porting the playback engine to a console.

DefleMask has export because its "export" is nothing more than a register dump player, which does work well when there is a lot of memory, but when space is minimal (e.g. C64), it doesn't.
