I only heard about this tool very recently but it sounds interesting. I'd have to give it a deeper investigation. The version 1. This version is not supported by any means. It's usage and functionality is roughly equivalent to v2. Q: If the sappy detector doesn't detect the engine header, does this mean the game doesn't use the sappy engine?
A: No. The detector is heuristic. There is games that uses sappy and that have no header. Metroid games comes in mind. Since v2. It will just not know the base sample rate and main volume, and use default values for them. This could affect the audibility of the music significantly. On the other side, there might be fake positives, that is cases where the detector "thinks" there is a sappy header when there is none.
If that's the case the program will start to jump garbage, but will probably encounter an error before the thing terminates. If this happens, you'd also have to give the address of the song table manually.
A: No, but in all honesty very damn close. On the other side the good old GameBoy instruments will sound different because the're emulated using samples. These instruments are quantified in volume and pitch, and there is no way to reproduce this imperfection in the. SF2 standard. The Golden Sun synth instrument, added in version 2. The assembly code for those instruments was unrolled and extremely optimised, therefore it was very hard to know exactly how those instruments were designed.
A: Yes absolutely. In fact the engine does not differenciate music, sound effects and voices in any way so you'll rip them all automatically. A: This is probably a problem with using various sound font banks. You should be sure the driver and MIDI player you use supports banks. It it doesn't work in normal GS mode try to use the -xg argument for XG mode maybe you'll get better results.
A: Maybe your driver doesn't support the GS message to disable "drums" on midi channel The way I rip the sound font requires that no channel is ever using MDI "drums" even if there is drums in the song - they'll be mapped to a normal instrument. A: Again this is sadly normal. It means there is a supposedly "unused" instrument which in fact is used.
The easiest fix is to fix the MIDIs in order to locate the part which don't play and change it's instrument to another equivalent one. Another approach would be to create the preset manually in the Sound Font file by copying another existing equivalent instrument. A: It really depends on the game. Some games use a different sound bank for every single song, so those games takes a very long time to rip.
In all cases it's normal the conversion can't be done instantly. Q: Can you adapt this ripper to work with Game X which doesn't use the sappy sound engine? A: Some games uses too many different soundbanks for different songs and this causes problems in extreme cases more than banks. You should use the -sb command to separate sound banks into different folders, which will result in many sound font files instead of a single sound font with many sound banks.
Windows users will find pre-compiled. Pokemon ROMs are now supported despite the fact I absolutely loathe pokemons because I was asked to support them dozen of times. Other games that weren't supported like Metroid games can now be ripped manually see FAQ. Prevents instruments from being duplicated if the same instrument is present 2 or more times in the ROM, this copy won't be reflected in the Sound Font. View code.

Q: The songs works usually fine but they sometimes sound wrong A: Maybe your driver doesn't support the GS message to disable "drums" on midi channel The way I rip the sound font requires that no channel is ever using MDI "drums" even if there is drums in the song - they'll be mapped to a normal instrument. Q: Some Game Boy square wave part is missing in some songs in some games. A: Again this is sadly normal.

Q: Can you adapt this ripper to work with Game X which doesn't use the sappy sound engine? A: No, because other sound engines works completely differently. You should use the -sb command to separate sound banks into different folders, which will result in many sound font files instead of a single sound font with many sound banks.
It would be amazing! And personally I have zero knowledge in GUI programming. Windows users will find pre-compiled. Pokemon ROMs are now supported despite the fact I absolutely loathe pokemons because I was asked to support them dozen of times.

Prevents instruments from being duplicated if the same instrument is present 2 or more times in the ROM, this copy won't be reflected in the Sound Font. The bank that overlap are detected and instrument that are already in an other bank are suppressed, so this reduces drastically the of instruments in games with lots of small banks instead of several large banks.
Note that they do not sound exactly like their original counterpart, unfortunately, just like PSG instrument it's impossible to replicate them with the SF2 format. Added a new sappy engine seracher by loveemu, more efficient than my own.
