Hoot

Hoot (stylized as hoot...) is a sound player for Microsoft Windows. It can play music from Japanese 8-bit and 16-bit PCs (also DOS games), Arcade, home console and portable games.

VGM Scene

Hoot cannot log VGMs, but tails_ released a utility that converts hoot's S98 files logged to VGM. That said, hoot conversions are no longer accepted: they are logged with a low resolution of 100 Hz, and have additional emulation issues.

If an older tutorial instructed you to use hoot, then for now, ask in Chat about the most recent or preferred methods to rip your desired game.
