A downloadable tool

Buy Now$7.00 USD or more

Convert midi files to hUGEdriver format (uge) for use with your GBDK, GB Studio, RGBDS projects. Includes an extensive manual on how to prepare midis downloaded from the internet, refine the initial mapping and perform post conversion cleanup as well as a preview ROM of the default instruments. 

Works standalone in Windows and with Python install on Mac or Linux. 

No coding or digital audio workstation experience required!

Disclaimer: 

Some midis simply do not convert properly. If you are downloading midis of popular songs it is suggested you try various versions to find the best results. The best results come from prepping midis as described in the manual or at least using user-aided mapping.

If you are planning to import a single song and going to be very upset if it doesn't work perfectly, message me on Discord @beatscribe, I will let you know if it converts well and give you some manual mapping tips. I'd rather have this than someone asking for refunds.

Extensive testing has shown the following:

  • Auto-mapping - 25% success rate 
  • User-aided manual mapping - 60% success rate 
  • Pre-cleaned/Edited MIDI + User-aided manual mapping  - 80% success rate 

Converted .UGE files work with the latest versions of RGBDASM, GBDK and GB Studio version 3.2.1 or higher (must support hUGEDriver 1 or higher, not beta 9).

Any chance for a linux version too?

This one is! Check the PDF, you just need to install python. It has all the command lines included. Tested in various Linux systems too.

That's awesome.  Thank you for answering!
