score VS vgmtrans

https://ossia.io uses widgets and qgraphicsscene for the main UI rendering and Qt rhi for the GPU pipeline, and it's performing well enough for our use-cases - I was working on it on a 1080p screen on a Pi4 recently and it certainly felt much much faster and responsive than chrome on the same hardware.

I use it for live c++ recompilation in https://ossia.io - all the code is in there. https://github.com/ossia/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score-plugin-jit/JitCpp

> I feel like visual programming gets a bad rap because of things like this. As an electronic engineer that used to love LabView and life long user of NI Reaktor and Max/MSP, those tools are fantastic if you don’t approach them with an imperative programming mindset.

aha, in the long run I ended up making https://ossia.io which is as VPL as it can get. Yet it still embeds a LOT of textual languages.

For me both VSCode and CLion lag heavily.. whenver I tried CLion it was completely unuseable on my project https://ossia.io which is only 500kloc (and I try to try it pretty much once a year since it was in beta)

https://ossia.io does some of it, I've been working on a new release that also supports the whole QtQuick stack in the node graph items but you can already combine videos & shader effects

In https://ossia.io with PCH, using clang, ninja, mold, and some artificial split in shared libraries for development builds, I get a compile-edit-run cycle of a couple seconds in general... I wouldn't say it's too much of a problem if you use the tools already available

If you're interested in multimedia https://ossia.io is always looking for new contributors!

Tools like Ossia Score, Chataigne and PureData (pd) can also help a ton in building interactive art and triggering other A/V software.

here's a simple example of how to do it in https://ossia.io score : https://streamable.com/wkklek

1 - There are generic-ish tools to dump/convert the with the notation like VGMTrans, but support for various internal formats/methods/effects/commands is definitely not 100%. I've used that one to dump tracks from many games across various systems and often it works fine, but sometimes an effect/track is missing for one reason or another or sometimes a game's music format simply isn't supported and people need to get hands-on.

A question answered before anybody even asks in the first place: I used VGMTrans to get ahold of all the Midi files. You can get it here: VGMTrans Github page

The two best options, in my experience, would be to use either GBA Mus Riper (yes, it is actually misspelled), or VGMTrans. Both should be able to take a GBA rom as input, and give you both midis, and a matching soundfont to go along with them. Then you can use your music editor of choice to load up said midi, and do whatever you want with it.

Here are the steps I'm following btw. https://github.com/vgmtrans/vgmtrans/wiki/Building-the-Qt-version#vs-noide

You can use VGMTrans to extract the Nintendo files to SF2 files as long as you have a Hotel Dusk ROM.
