GameMusicEmu is a collection of portable C++ libraries and tools for emulating video game music.

This allows for high-fidelity playback of classic game soundtracks in modern applications.
Key Features:
  • Supports numerous formats: GBS, NSF, SPC, VGM, and more
  • Portable C++ library with no external dependencies
  • Outputs standard PCM audio streams for easy integration
  • Accurate emulation of legacy sound hardware
Use Cases:

Alternatives:
