Up until now, I've mostly been doing PC-98 stuff in Bambootracker, as I viewed it as a more accessible way for me to make those kinds of covers without having to delve into MML or PMD. For the uninitiated, MML stands for Music Macro Language, and was used by a lot of older Japanese game composers to make chiptune music (NES, Genesis, PC-Engine, and I think the SNES?). PMD (or Professional Music Driver) is a driver that allows people to use the MML format to output computer music (primarily the PC-98 and PC-88, but it also works with the X68000 and FM Towns), and was not only used by ZUN (for example) to make the music for the PC-98 Touhou games after Highly Responsive to Prayers, but by a lot of composers to make modern Touhou music in the older style. Unfortunately, the nature of MML is that it's entirely text-based, meaning it's more like programming than composition half the time. As I was more used to the tracker formats that Bambootracker and Famitracker provided I was reluctant to actually learn MML.

Then I watched a video tutorial the other day, and decided "screw it" and actually sat down to try to learn it. I went with Kraid's Lair so I could get used to the format (mostly because I did it earlier this year so I had a visual reference to go off of), but I did get another roughly finished the same day that I'll post after Halloween. I've linked both the usual download folder as well as the MML on Pastebin for convenience's sake. I'm not sure how I want to approach video making for these kinds of covers, so I may experiment with the format a bit down the line. I probably won't abandon Bambootracker just yet, since it might still be a good way to draft a cover, but don't be surprised if BT covers get phased out because of this.
