This works great, no problems so far.

I guess I could've just left it at a 192 resolution, but it really wasn't hard to convert it. I already had a method to parse the tick from the line, so it was just a matter of mutiplying it by (480.0 / chartResolution), and I figured I would follow GH specifications as closely as I could, not that the resolution is that big a deal.

And yes, the Chart Scaler was supremely unnecessary, lol. I made that before I had any knowledge about resolutions or midi ticks or anything of the sort. Someone stumbled on the 2.5 scaler and I just went to town on it.

You can have the source code on one condition and one condition only - you don't laugh at me, lol.

I'm a beginning programmer, and I crammed all the code into the one GUI class. It's pretty well commented, at least. But yea, it's kinda one of those "I haven't seen anyone else's so I think mine is somehow sub-par" things, it's just real sloppy and there are probably 101 ways to make it better. But I mean, it works, and that's what matters, right?

Just skip past all the GUI Generation code (courtesy of NetBeans IDE). First thing of interest is the method convertChart, so just go from there.

As a long time Java programmer I can advice you on one thing; Comment as much as you can. You did a great job with programming this and its ok that it is all in one class because it's only one operation (chart to midi). Your code is not messy but it could always use more comments.

I haven't tested it much but since you consider it complete I trust that it works just as well as ghex.

Congrats, and I hope to see more of your programs soon!

Great work, now it will be even easier to make custom gh2 discs for the 360

Tried to DL that source to take a look at it for fun, but the link doesn't work.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for this program, the 360 scene seems pretty dead compaired to the ps2 scene.

Iv tested this program with a number of charts and its converted them all perfectly.

Now all we need is a program to be able to change song names and it will be just about perfect.

Doesn't work,
I have the same problem.
Example :

The "time" between 2 green wasn't empty = is like we have to hold the button but in the original chart no!

Sorry for my very bad english.

And because off my very bad english i can't understand your explanations. :'(

Thanks for the program and your work

I find the .mid produced with this program won't work on gh3. I guess I'll have to get my original guitar hero disc back to use Ghex

Hm...I've produced two mid's from this program for GH3 on PC and it's worked flawlessly.

Great work!

Well I've only done two of them, and they've both been perfectly synced up with the song.

Ok , sorry .

I'll explain with image.

This is the chart before convertion.

And This is the mid (after conversion):

You'll see the problem. This is the FAINT-EMX chart

Thanks
