I noticed that NP2 can log only ADPCM(not PCM).
Trouble Outsiders supports only lossless PCM of PC-9801-86 so that no samples were recorded.

I think Speakboard has an additional PCM channel that's not part of the YM2203 or YM2608. That one can't be logged to VGM currently, I'm afraid.
Thanks for the info.
Many games support both Speak Board and PC-9801-86, but this game does only the latter.
As I mentioned, s98/vgm of PC-9801/8801 files which have been around on the net are ripped with ADPCM. (see below)
PC-8801
- Sound Board II : ADPCM with 256kb buffer RAM
PC-9801
- Speak Board : ADPCM with 256kb buffer RAM
- PC-9801-86 (aka `86 Board`) : PCM, no built-in RAM
The attached file is for someone who may be interested in.
1. boot VGMTEST.d88 with np2 (note that `Device -> Sound` should be `PC-9801-86` in advance)
2. on the prompt, follow like this (case insensitive);
Code:
A:\> P86DRV
A:\> PMD86
A:\> PMDPCM86 /L PCM.P86 # loading PCM
A:\> PMP OS_02.M2 # plays the music (there're OS_01.M2 to OS_12.M2)
