VGM Data Dumper

The VGM Data Dumper is a program created by Oerg866 to assist extracting data out of game music using VGM files. It is compatible with Compressed/Optimized (Also known as VGZ) and normal VGM files that contain YM2612 data. For decompressing Optimized/Compressed VGM files, gunzip.exe is included.

The primarily intended use is to extract PCM data. After running a VGM through the program, one of the three output files contains PCM data. This data can then be extracted using an audio editor, like GoldWave.

The program was written with 'PowerBASIC Console Compiler', which compiles into native code, executable on 32-Bit Windows platforms. The release package of version 1.50 includes the PBCC source, which can be compiled using version 5.xx of PBCC.
