Wow, having no internet makes me do some strange things. I wrote a program with the sole purpose of converting every waveform from Cave Story into an FDS instrument. So here's all 100 Waveforms used in Cave Story:
EDIT: Ooh wait, I just learned how to split files, there you go.
Open the program and it will prompt you to load a file. Select a (very small) .wav file and it will attempt to convert it into FDS format. Press left and right to see the exact values inside the wav file, and press space to select another file. It's really sloppy and weird since I made it for personal use and I'm just learning how to edit bytes and things.
EDIT: I've been testing it a bit and I'm starting to think that this doesn't work well with some wav files... They might need to be 22KHz 8bit files, or I just did something completely wrong.
Alright, I SUCK at making instruments and found this thread extremely helpful (to the bumpmobile!)
Anyway, I'm trying to recreate songs from the Final Fantasy series, and I've got some instrument requests. First off, does anyone have 8-bit versions of the instruments in FFVII? If not, can anyone make them, because I certainly can't.

What he said is entirely true:

Dude, you just have to spend more time on instruments. Some people actually spend more time making instruments than they do the songs they're used in.
Personally though, I think the amount of time I spend on tweaking instruments makes me lose my inspiration, so I tend to use blanks and use the effect tracks instead. Perhaps I should try and make my instruments on free time (or leech off this thread, heh) so I'd have them ready when the time comes to use them.
My point is, either spend ludicrous amounts of time setting up your instruments just right, or don't spend any time on them and use commands whenever possible instead. Both are feasible.

Here's the instruments to Rollerblade Racer and Sesame Street: Countdown. Note that this is only a beta release and I don't think all the instruments have been ripped. Though they are from different development companies, they are the same driver.
