The game itself and the MD conversion of the songs is pretty lousy... the readme I put in the archive wasn't the one I'd intended to, so I updated that real quick. ;p
As it now says...
I find the unrealism in this game hillariously bad. It's refreshingly ironic that you can run into Elephants that seem to litter the road - and are also seemingly placed to hit you if the curves in the road don't. Cable Cars are totally off their rails and there's 2, 3 of them at a time in San Francisco. I also like how you seem to be driving around the rim of Niagara Falls - and take it from someone who lives very close by and has been to Niagara Falls dozens of times in his life - the only road nearby is a pedestrian one and a footbridge. :p
The following statement is true. The above statement is false.

In fairness to any concept of realism, this *is* a game where the base premise is that you can *drive* from San Francisco to Hawaii to Australia.

It looks like VTX is buggered on Mac OS X. This is what I get for not testing it; there are a few endian issues in the code. One of those is now fixed, so I'm getting something out of those files, but not recognisable music yet. I'll look into it again tomorrow.

I like the faithful recreation of crowd cheering in Mega Driver as, err, white noise hiss. That song has to be the lowest of a fairly abysmal bunch. Actually I think Splash Wave isn't too bad (or maybe it's because I just like this tune so much that someone would have to do something really rotten to it for me to hate it ^^).
OMG I take the car ferry from San Francisco to Hawaii ALL the time!
You just don't see the boat in the game! Artistic License!!!
This is a perfect driving simulation. I recommend anyone about to take their driving test should study this game.

Okay, I've fixed VTX on Mac for the next update. Any other problems?

Woah, faster than the Ferrari of Outrun. Nice one Mr Bannister.
Yes, I have a heap of problems. Such as what to get my mother for christmas, how to pay off my credit card bill, etc, etc.
Oh wait, did you mean Audio Overload problems? drat.

Well, the program still crashes if you try to play a non-recognizable sound file (NSFs with unsupported expansion sound chips work well for this purpose) and then play something else.

Got a NSF with an unsupported expansion chip handy?

2a03.org has NSFs with a listing of the sound chips they use. I found one that uses VRC-7 sound (unsupported) on the archive page : Curry Bread.nsf
