Green Hill Zone on a Yamaha TX81Z

This is the classic Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog playing on a Yamaha TX81Z. I hand-ported each voice from the game, used ValleyBell's SMPS2MID program to create a MIDI sequence of the song, and then played it through the TX81Z.

Some problems that occur:
- TX81Z timing is apparently slower, making attack and decay times slower than that of the YM2612
- The modulation in the MIDI file is a bit too much
- The TX81Z doesn't change voices instantly, so everytime a voice has to be set, you hear a stutter in the music
- There's no PSG or DAC for obvious reasons

It's actually the same sound chip. But the Sega Genesis had DMA access to the sound chip. It could actually push data faster to the chip than MIDI could.
