Converting MiniGSF to MIDI: A Verified Guide for Audio Enthusiasts
5) Example: basic Python approach (concept)
- Use the dumped event log as input. Parse lines into events: (time, channel, note/pitch, volume, effect).
- Convert times to ticks: ticks = time_seconds * (BPM/60) * PPQ.
- Use mido to build messages: note_on, note_off, control_change, pitchwheel. Save as .mid.
(Implementing code depends on your dump format; use mido or pretty_midi for ease.)

- Pulse/square → Synth Lead / Square Wave patch
- Triangle → Bass or soft sine-like patch
- Noise → Percussion (MIDI channel 10) or mapped to a drum kit
- PCM/sample channel → Sampler instrument or specific drum samples
A. Note-for-Note Re-synthesis Test
The gold standard: the MIDI file is played back through a high-quality General MIDI (GM) sound set and compared against the original MiniGSF rendered through a reference emulator (e.g., AGS or mGBA). A difference spectrum is computed. Any missing notes, stuck notes, or rhythmic offsets appear as spectral discrepancies. Automated tools can flag passages where the harmonic content diverges by more than a threshold (e.g., >2 dB in any frequency band). For verification, the converter should output a “confidence report” per channel, noting events that could not be reliably mapped. Converting MiniGSF to MIDI: A Verified Guide for
Emulation with logging – A modified GBA emulator (e.g., a fork of mGBA or VBA-M) executes the MiniGSF’s driver but, instead of feeding the final PCM samples to the audio output, it intercepts writes to the APU’s registers. Each write corresponds to a musical event: setting a frequency (pitch), starting a sample, changing volume, or stopping a voice. Use the dumped event log as input
