Utility description

Features:
- Hear voice banks from megadrive games
- Export them as wave files or in their original format (binary file)
- Import wave files to replace existing voices
- Manage voices by cloning them or switching their position in the bank.
- Setup options and create guides for specific games (advanced)
- The application tries to auto-detect the guide for the loaded game (it looks at the ROM header for the name of the game)
- It comes with guides for a variety of games

TODO:
- Pitch must be handled better.
- Add more guides, make existing guides more complete


Now everyone update your Streets Of Rage hacks with your custom voices! :P

Note: Don't save your voices if the bank size is exceeded (you'll see it in red), or you may be corrupting something. Voices are not saved until you hit save or until you're prompted to do so, so feel free to manage voices at will and save only when it's done.

Apologies for the pitch issue, but it is yet to figure out yet how exactly it affects playback frequency.

Once again I have to thank to Red Crimson for the help on understanding the format of voices and voice banks, and for the addresses of banks of several games.

Fantastic for supported gamesByros2023-05-14Version 0.8

This is how tools should be programmed to work, extremely easy to use, just open a ROM to play sound files from SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive

This little app will enable playback and also to import and replace directly to the ROM your own custom sound files, which is absolutely fantastic!

The only drawback is that it only seems to support a few games so far: Streets or Rage / Bare Knuckle 2 & 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Story of Thor and Alien Soldier.

If only there were more guides to mod sounds from Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Street Fighter and other games it would be a true gem.
