Sega Megadrive music on X16 - FM and PSG simultaneously

The only portion of this music that is not currently supported is the PCM drum track. The way Sega Genesis PCM works is insane already (imagine VERA PCM but without a FIFO), and the way it's encoded in VGM is even more crazy to interpret and extract properly, so for now, pretend Sonic only gets drums whenever he's riding Yoshi. ?

I fully intend to clean this importer up to more useful standards for sharing it with the community. As it stands now, it's full of special cases, etc - but it can import lots of types of VGMs to X16. It exports into my own music stream format which is also still not quite finalized.

More to come!

Them's fighting words!

Unfortunately, I don't have Smash Brothers for the 3DS on my 2DS, so I dunno how the fight can be staged.

We obviously go back to the source and load MAME up with Heavyweight Champ.
