mrom.mb 2010-05-05

mrom.mb is a Pogoshell plugin to play mmutil converted soundbank files.  mrom.mb relies upon the excellent maxmod library
made by Mukunda Johnson.  mrom_mb is based upon Mukunda Johnson's demo source program mmgbarom, used in mmutil to make a test rom.

To use mrom.mb with mod files, the mod files must be convered into soundbank files first.  S3M, MOD, XM, and IT files are
converable.  Multiple mod files can be joined into one soundbank file or multiple soundbank files.  While by default, soundbank
files end with the extension bin, it is recommended to choose another extension (such as sb) to not conflict with Pogoshell's
support of GBA roms ending with the bin extension.

As always, make sure to mentally convert forward slashes to backslashes under Windows (ie, root/ becomes root\).

To convert a mod file with mmutil:

mmutil file.mod -ofile.sb

To conver multiple mod files into one soundbank (probably not what you want):

mmutil file1.mod file2.mod -o file_multiple.sb

For Pogoshell users:

Copy mrom.mb to root/.shell/plugins/ and add the following line to root/.shell/pogo.cfg under the filetypes section:

For Pogoshell v2.03b:

sb 1 mrom.mb 0

For Pogoshell v2.03-mod5-beta5.x:

sb 1 mrom.mb 0 $FF00FF

Then add the converted .sb files to somewhere in your root folder.

For Plugin2GBA users:

plugin2gba.py --background=for_plugin2gba/maxmod -fm maxmod-collection.gba mrom.mb file1.sb file2.sb etc
