Please keep this in mind when using this program. ------------------------ usage: xm2esf <infile> <outfile> -<switches> <infile> is an XIF file. An XIF file is a descriptor file that contains all the parameters which xm2esf will respect while creating the resulting ESF file, and also the path and filename to the input XM file. Creating an XIF file is possible using the bundled xm2esfgui It is very easy to use and creates a XIF file that is perfectly parseable by xm2esf :) For other software and information, please visit http://segaretro.org/Echo <outfile> is the output path ad filename xm2esf will use to create the resulting ESF file. Please note that if this file exists it WILL BE OVERWRITTEN, even if you encounter a bug and the conversion somehow fails. Switches: -p Retrigger volume envelope on PSG channel when the instrument column is filled when there is one of the standard portamento/vibrato effects playing. (1xx, 2xx, 3xx and 4xx) -r Like -p, except it triggers regardless of the effect column's content -i Ignore Note-Offs on PSG channels Bye :D!
