S98 conversion to VGM & YM2149

It does not lacks quality. But it have variable resolution size which hoot sets to 10/1000 so minimal delay size is 10ms.

Just thought I'd register to say awesome! So THAT's what those .s98 files that kept appearing in /hoot/outs were... Pretty cool it's relatively possible to rip music between systems to .vgm via Hoot.

Not sure if it's a bug with Hoot's S98 dumper, in_vgm (0.40.2), or the converter, but for some tunes using the YM2608 from Hoot, the SSG is excessively loud. Is there a possible way to hack the result .vgm to attenuate individual chip channels? (.s98 sources seem to play not too loud with in_s98 but it's globally configurable)

Ah yeah, that's problem of how exactly SSG connected to FM part's DAC on PC-98/PC-88 machines. Valleybell plans update to VGM standart to support chip's volume setting. As soon as he'll do this I'll update my tool.

How hard would it be to add a feature that allows you to drag and drop the .s98 files over the .exe, and have it convert every one automatically without closing? Currently, it only converts a random one in the group, then closes.

Oh. I didn't thought it will be used like that. Unless I rewrite this in C I'm not going to add anything, as workaround you may want to use "for %f in (*.s98) do s982 "%f"" construction.

alrighty, I'll give it a try.
