Emulation

• To my knowledge there is no sound format that allows replaying pokemon mini songs on your pc. But of course there are Emulators for the whole system.

Music Creation

• I have yet to see ‘real’ music software for the Pokemon Mini. The homebrew scene uses assembler to write their music, which again is not that hard to do because of the high limitations of the (sound) system.
