A Qt-based gui for ipatix's agbplay

agbplay-gui

agbplay-gui is a music player for Game Boy Advance ROMs that use the MusicPlayer2000 (mp2k/m4a/"Sappy") sound engine. It is based on agbplay by ipatix.

Building

agbplay-gui depends on the following libraries:

• Qt 5
• PortAudio

A build script is provided for compiling on Windows using MSYS2. This script will download and build the required dependencies automatically. This script also supports cross compiling agbplay-gui from a non-Windows system with MinGW.

First ensure that the agbplay submodule is checked out and up to date:

• git submodule update --init --recursive

To build on Windows using the automatic build script:

• make -C windows

To cross-compile a 32-bit binary using MinGW:

• make -C windows CROSS=mingw32

To cross-compile a 64-bit binary using MinGW:

• make -C windows CROSS=mingw64

To build using locally-installed libraries:

• qmake
• make

agbplay-gui's Issues

Multiple song table support

Some games such as Mother 1+2 and Dr. Mario & Puzzle League have more than one song table. Add support for scanning for and selecting between multiple song tables.

Per-game preferences

agbplay.json exposes a lot of per-game options that should be pretty straightforward to expose in a settings window.

Cannot export

Hello, there is a problem when I export a track.
When it finishes, it doesn't show an output file. So, what is wrong?

JSON playlist import/export

agbplay.json isn't the most convenient way to exchange playlists with other users. Being able to import and export playlists so that the user doesn't have to manually edit agbplay.json would help with usability.

It might also be a good idea to support playlists that can be loaded directly and link to a ROM file in order to support ROM hacks that have the same four-character code.

Illegal Byte Sequence

Whenever I load a ROM this error appears.

However this is fixed when I move it to C:/

Popping noises in exported WAVEs.

I've only noticed this in one game, Kuru Kuru Kururin (Europe), but it's happened after multiple exports. This doesn't occur in the player, only exports.

GSF playlist import

agbplay has playlist_from_gsf.py for creating agbplay playlists from a collection of minigsf files. agbplay-gui doesn't want to add a Python dependency, so this script will need to be ported.

Build Script Broken

Build Script does not currently seem to work on Windows 10.

The following Error is the result

The build script does not currently recognize all
platforms supported by Qt.
Rerun this script with a -platform option listed to
set the system/compiler combination you use.

gsflib playback

Playing back gsflibs ought to be possible. Unfortunately, agbplay doesn't expose an API for loading data from a buffer instead of from disk, and does a validity check on the ROM header, which gsflibs might not have preserved.
