SPC to IT conversion with OpenSPC, help compiling?

You don’t need a VM in the first place, you could just use mingw + cmake to compile the windows version.

Also, using cmake is easy… install gcc and g++ and cmake then run these commands…

cd /path/to/spc2it

mkdir build

cd build

cmake …

make

and tada you got spc2it

Thanks for the response! Yeah I actually just found the .exe download and used that. Was pretty stoked when I realized I could run it on Windows now. Much easier workflow for me now, I can just run a forfile in a folder of .spc’s and watch it automatically convert an entire soundtrack to .it. I did come across a few that failed, so I’m going to try a difference source for the same songs to see if they were just screwed up .spc’s.

Some .spc will fail due to a bug in my it conversion code or it format limitations. Which .spc files are you having issues with so I can create an issue in the issue tracker?

From Final Fantasy 6:

ff6-315a

ff6-315b

ff6-b01

315 seems to be the big ending theme medley, and b-01 is dancing mad.

edit: 314 is also dancing mad but broken into 3 parts, it looks like b01 is just the 3 parts combined into one .spc, but 314 conversion worked fine, so maybe there are other differences.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to check it out.

Cool! Thanks for you awesome program. You have know idea how much sheer joy it brought me the day I got it to work. Dissecting all the game music I grew up with in a tracker, being able to jam on the instruments that made it, and using them to write new music, so much fun.

I wrote this one with samples I got using your tool:
