Music Development

Fumito used a custom sound driver by Yasuyuki Hamada.

Like on the Genesis, Tamayama programmed his music in MML using the sound driver that he and Yasuyuki Hamada created. He wrote the music on MS-DOS using a TSR program. Then he used MIDI with an OPN chip to play back his compositions.
