Yeah, MDX and KSS definitely are the two biggies. Incidentally, a Western-friendly place to start collecting MDXes is http://xperiment.rainemu.com/x68music.html (files in ZIP instead of LZH, game names in English).

Are you working on it or will I give it a shot?

I'm on it - it's just a simple GYM-style register-log format for the YM3812.

Anyone else have any formats? Were there ever any "hobbyist" formats on the Mac, for instance?

Anyway, I just found a few thousand .ROL (AdLib "Visual Composer") files and a description of the format for download, but I think it's time for a new preview release first.

Incidentally, why not at least bog-standard 4 channel ProTracker MODs? We're shortchanging probably the most popular hobbyist music computer ever if we don't have at least basic tracker support, IMO.

Looks like you have found some interesting formats. Esp. looking forward to trying out some of the Taito rendidtions from the x68000.

Do .sid files count as falling beyond the range of AO? I have read that anything to do with the C64 is evil to emulate but there are a few classic pieces from that system.

Just in case:
spec docs
sidplay 2 homepage
some .sid files

I'm interested in .SID too, but sidplay2 is GPL, and people pretty much demand cycle and sample accurate C64 emulation nowadays, which would be hell on wheels to recreate from scratch.

My comments on PSF, PSF2, USF, and tracker formats are things that I have no personal interest in implementing, though if you want to do so then please be my guest. I know there are lot of people on the Mac side rabbiting on about PSF/USF, for example.

There were no hobbyist formats on Mac that I'm aware of. There are the drivers from the Bogas sound engine, but there's no documentation for that that I'm aware of, and all the versions I've ever seen were different.

And I agree, SID would be nice. I had a look at the stuff in MESS but it seems that's adapted from the GPL and as such is probably a violation as it is.
