My name is Bruno Marques, and I'm from Porto Alegre in southern Brazil but live in Lisbon since late 2019.
Other activities beside software development include homebrewing, playing bass, board games and puns of dubious quality.
Mostly college projects and a bunch of stillborn efforts.
There's a couple of things on ice that I want to finish someday:
- A chiptune-to-tab converter aimed at bass tracks; think FFVI's Dancing Mad, for instance. The use of MIDI as an intermediate format (courtesy of VGMTrans) eliminates a lot of effort, but importing on every software I've found so far relies on a bunch of assumptions that these files don't follow.
- Current approach involves forking VGMTrans in order to export MusicXML, which is a format supported by music notation library alphaTab.
- Another Flux, a successor to Temporal Flux - which remains a cornerstone of the Chrono Trigger modding community despite not having any updates since 2017, thanks to a very flexible plugin architecture - that this project aims to support as a multiplatform drop-in replacement.
- All the reverse engineering effort required due to its closed-source nature - despite being a .net tool, which makes this far easier - and the leap of faith involved in making the current plugins even work, makes me wonder if it's not worth it more to build something from scratch with the available (and rather vast!) ROM documentation.
