Thank you for the reply and tip. It seems that lazyusf2 still has architecture requirements, but it does look like a step in the right direction:

I found another interesting lead with software that claims to support USF via Audio Overload:

https://github.com/Greedysky/TTKMusicPlayer

But official Audio Overload documentation makes no mention of such support:

https://www.bannister.org/software/ao.htm#compat

I will check these out. In particular, lazyusf2 seems to have an opcode translator, which is a promising concept. In the meantime, I agree with sentiment here:

https://vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=USF

“Desperately needs a simple C based USF to WAV open sourced program.”

EDIT

... Well, that was surprisingly easy. Using lazyusf2's included converter program, dumpresampled, I just listened to a USF file for the first time in over a decade. It sounded great. (I bet you can even guess the song.)

Thank you again for the tip, hcs, and thank you to everyone who has contributed to lazyusf2. Today was a good day.

I had an idea for a puzzle game where you have to figure out the rules and tell the game what you think they are. Finally got a proof of concept implemented, here's a sketch:

gamec v3

Testers have struggled most with the first two puzzles, might be relatively easier after that once you have the general idea.

I had hoped that the rule specification would be integral, there's some fancy logic for choosing the next puzzle to disprove your current guess, but the current set of 8 puzzles doesn't really take advantage of that in an interesting way. You might not notice it in a single playthrough anyway. So it ends up not being much different from other puzzles that don't tell you the rules, except it's easier to have the menu of possibilities known.

Trying to decide whether I should try to develop this more, put it back on the shelf until I figure something out, or just try to post it widely now for fame and fortune.
