What is Mid2agb?
It's a console program that allows you to convert .mid files into .s, allowing you to replace existing "songs" in a Pokemon game using Sappy.

What's the difference between the original and this one?
This makes it easier for you to convert mid to a Sappy compatible music file. How? I made a GUI. Simple as that. :P Although this relies on the original mid2agb console program in order to function properly.​

Features
  • Easy to use
  • Preview your .mid before actually converting them giving you the opportunity to fix any weird sounds if any
  • Basic and user friendly user interface
  • Supports Windows Vista, 7, 8 and probably XP as well
  • Switch between the console and GUI version if you want
  • Loop soundtracks

Supported games?
  • Pokemon firered, leafgreen, emerald, sapphire and ruby

Requirements
.Net framework 4 (Windows 8 has it pre-installed)

Notes
I made this program to make my and hopefully your life easier by simply adding a simple user interface to the original mid2agb application. If you don't like the GUI, you can always switch back to the original. That is completely optional and up to you! ;)

Your s file will be in the same destination as your mid file.


Instructions for the looping part (Manually adding it)

Interesting tool idea. I don't exactly need this, but I'm sure there's plenty of people out there that'd like to use this a lot. Good job. ^^

While I see this as a good tool, it's honestly not that difficult to drag a file on top of an executable. In fact, it's so easy it's kinda pointless to have to wait for a GUI to do it since you can just click+drag and be done. Nevertheless, it's good to see people making more tools. Just as a suggestion, if you're doing a .NET app, always target the lowest version possible. That way it makes it easier for Mono users. Obviously this wouldn't work very well on non-Windows platforms since it involves an external EXE but in case you do other tools, lower .NET targeting is better.

Oh! Damn.. my fault. I was so focused on the progamming part that I forgot about that. Thank you very much for the suggestion. I'll update the GUI as soon as possible.

And as for the dragging part. Yea. I honestly do agree, but if you tend to have thousands of windows open, then keep closing or finding the right window will frustate you. :P

I couldn't any GUI for the original mid2agb, so I took the opportunity to create one.

As for everyone's posts:
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words! ^^

EDIT:
Lowered framework compatibliity for older Windows versions. (XP)

Why make a loop function? mid2agb already has an inbilt function itself. Just use the [ ] marker events in your Midi editor to loop the song.

Some other suggestions: I'd add the possibility to use certain mid2agb arguments to tweak the s-file. I mena stuff like "-Vxxx" (xxx is the master volume level) or "-E" to increase note length accuracy.

I'm sure eperty will add that soon. :)

It would be interesting to port mid2agb itself onto different platforms though.

Don't worry. I will certainly! ;)
I'll update the GUI ASAP! Stay tuned till then. ^^
Also, for the porting part: If anyone is able to help, then that will do the trick.

Nice. But Looping do not work on it.

You're completely right, Ksiazek. I haven't implemented that yet. I don't know why though, but it will be soon.

Meybe some advantage for your project. Making that for NDS roms? It make easier romhacking.

I was wondering. Does the original author provide the actual source for mid2agb?

Ehm, no. Mid2agb is a program by Nintendo (it is part from their SDK) and therefore we'll never be able to see the source.
