MIDI FILE STRUCTURE NEEDED!

Post icon  Posted 25 February 2006 - 08:44 PM

I want to make a program called GBXSong that turns raw note pattern absorbed from a MIDI file into specially formatted data for easy playback for my GB/GBA programs.

I would like a file map (Where's the header, where does the sequence data start?, how are the channels seperated? Where is the tempo changes located?).

I don't need to know where the band containers are because since i'm going to playback using DMG1,2 and 4, i'm going to discard that information anyway.

I tried to find a map but turned up empty-handed, and after downloading size different sound systems for GBA, I want to rip my ears off! They either didn't work or they totally killed my MIDI files into crap.

Oh, and by the way:

Do NOT give me any WindowsAPI function defines or COM functions. I don't want to suffer brain damage. (If the structs are windows defined, like BITMAPFILEHEADER, those are allowed).

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0
