there’s a utility called GEMS that was commissioned by Sega of America and used by a bunch of US developers. but a lot of games have custom sound engines

not sure about Saturn but I want to figure it out because it has a heck of weird custom sound chip.

if you want an easy intro to fm synth though, check out AdLib Tracker, it has a dosbox package that works well. patches aren’t identical between opl2/opn2 but it’s a similar concept

you can do this w/ Spotify but it's hella clunky and occasionally forgets what you've added to your shared folder. not the best implementation anyway.

is it the thing where you have to add a local folder to the desktop verison then you can sync that from the desktop version to mobile? i dont know if i care enough to jump through those hoops but its an option i guess

early model had an EXT port that was used for a japan only modem called Sega Meganet but it had the same functionality as a controller port. like both controllers ports it's a 7bit bidirectional parallel / RS232C serial port @ 4200baud. the pin assignment might be the same as a COM port but the voltage is too high, maybe try LPT if you don't have a converter

e. rcp, "genesis ever drive"
