No, not Mega Man Legends.

MML. Music Macro Language.

What is MML? A Musical notation language for creating music for a variety of old systems, and MIDI. Of course, I'm using the NES variation (Though I have a version that makes music for the CPS-1 system. Be jealous Cyrus :P)

To cut things short, I made this:

Note that this has nothing to do with the music comp.

And here's an interesting thing: The 'source' code for this music:

        This was at first an accident, but then I found out that it adds a nice

This sounds amazingly impressive, I have to give it a try.

Are you able to compile songs in the Sharp x68k's MDX format? If so, I am definitely jealous. :P

Be jealous then, because I can. :P

damn dude really nice tune. your stuff keeps getting better and better. especially for using this format for the first time?

I'm getting more practice in than usual, I guess. It's the first track I made with MML, so yes, first time working with the format (I only downloaded the tools yesterday).

I got most of them from this site: http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-mml.php

The links, anyway. The rest I got by Googling.

This little tune was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

+1'd Panzer, cause I noticed the Beeeeeeg thing a while ago, but forgot.
