Too bad VLC can't run MIDI anymore. Anyway, this is very useful to me. If I just could convert MIDIs to SF2s...

Thank you SO much for this! I downloaded a game with a bunch of SPCs for audio files, so now I will covert those into MIDIs using this, and those into OGGs using Audacity!

...not that anyone cares, of course. XD

Eh, the quality is all over the place with this tool. I tested on a bunch of SPC of SMW music ports from my ROM hack, and the results were:

Tehee Valley: Sounded identical to the port
SMW Castle Remix (vanilla level design contest): sounded like a piano malfunctioning.
Actraiser Maranha: A very high pitched version of the original.
Legend of Mana Hometown Domina: Pretty darn good actually, sounded very much like the original port.

Sampled songs just converted horribly. Krook's March from DKC 2 sounded completely off, Skull Dungeon from the Oracle games sounded like a glitchy mess and most others converted quite poorly in general.

It's a useful tool, but it seems to only work well on about 10-20% of SPCs...

"snip"

Well there are some options to use different pianos and such, you need to play around with it , but overall you are right.

What was I thinking back then? MIDIs are sequences, SF2s are a bunch of instruments.
But yeah, this is pretty neat. Not really seeing why the guys who made the SPC format couldn't just straight out put it into a MIDI, as that'd've been more useful, but whatever...

I Guess the Consoles that uses SPC Files arent able to use/read MIDI? ^^

When I booted up the program, it created a blank text file called "trace_gspc". I don't know the purpose of that file, but the word "trace" scares me. What if this program actually has a DRM, like a certain Sonic fangame had?!

EDIT: I asked someone with more computer knowledge than me to look into this program, and he said the "trace_gspc" file is for debugging the SPC conversion. I would've deleted this comment, but you can't do so on MFGG, so I posted this update.
