Introduction (What's MML? What does VGMCK do?)

What's MML?

"Music Macro Language (MML) is a music description language used in sequencing music on computer and video game systems."
Wikipedia Article

MML is essentially a text format that you can compile into native music files for computers and games. It was popularized by its use in Japanese personal computers (E.g. NEC PC-88/98 series) in the 1970's-80's. Awareness and use grew after a tool to compile MML for the NES was released in 2001 (MCK).

What does VGMCK do?

VGMCK compiles MML to the VGM format, which is the audio format used for many game consoles (mainly Sega). README.md lists all of the currently supported consoles/sound chips.
