VGMPlay / in_vgm

blitzlunar · Post by **blitzlunar** » 2014-10-25, 10:04:07

I spent most of yesterday listening through soundtracks with foo_input_vgm. It's excellent, so I want to say thanks again. Suddenly this site is far more useful!

However, I noticed it currently lacks tag editing ~ if the authors are aware of this thread then I humbly request this feature. Ideally it could include automatic decompression/recompression of VGZs (if possible), though simply supporting uncompressed VGM would work fine too.

Edit:2015-01-24
Future, update information I will do in this post.
(Because a many were downloaded files in this post, and link from the packs page to this post.)

2019-01-07 Update
Update in_vgm for foobar2000.(It is not what I made, Were made by anonymous users in Japan)
https://ux.getuploader.com/foobar2000/download/213

Change log:

This version and later will only work with foobar 2000 v1.3 or higher.
Sync to in_vgm/VGMPlay v0.40.8. For more updates, please refer to VGMPlay_Updates.txt that are included with the VGMPlay.
Fixed gui as it is now possible to select emulation core from 3 on some chips.
Fixed a bug that muting of chip # 2 of MultiPCM (YMW 258) can not be done.
Other minor fixes.
Explanation of Chip Options when Emulation Core of YM 2612 is Nuked OPN 2
NukedType bit0(LSB)
NukedType bit1
Two check boxes are displayed, but Nuked OPN 2 chip type changes according to the setting here.
Both NukedType bit 0 (LSB) and NukedType bit 1 are disabled -> YM2612 with Mega Drive model 1 filter simulation
NukedType bit 0 (LSB) only enabled -> ASIC YM3438
NukedType bit1 only enabled -> Discrete YM 3438
Both NukedType bit 0 (LSB) and NukedType bit 1 are enabled -> YM2612
It is set like this.

Re MSM6258 in foo_gep - The same problem exists in Cog (for OSX); I've messaged kode54 about both and am awaiting a response.

Hi!
I have problem compiling VGMPlay under Ubuntu:

Code: Select all

$ make
Compiling VGMPlay.c ...                                                                                 
VGMPlay.c:56:18: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory                                             
 #include <zlib.h>                                                                                            
                  ^                                                                                               
compilation terminated.                                                                                              
make: *** [obj/VGMPlay.o] Error 1

Is this the same problem which is described in VGMPlay.txt?

Ubuntu refuses to run (or maybe compile) VGMPlay correctly. It either crashes upon opening a vgm file or doesn't open the sound device. (and the ini-file, too. VGMs are opened for some reason.)

By the way, is there a SCM repository for VGMPlay somewhere?

In order to fix that problem, you just need to use the first link google gives you when searching for "zlib.h: No such file or directory". (For me it's this.)
You also need to install libao or disable libao support in the Makefile. In the latter case it will use OSS sound output (via /dev/dsp). You might need to install some OSS emulation packages to get that working though. (

btw: Halberd recently made me realize that the source code package lacks VGMPlay.ini. VGMPlay works fine without it, but it will complain about the missing file and you need it to adjust settings. You can copy it from the binary package.

No, there isn't.

@2ch-H: It's really awesome to see people working on a foobar port of VGMPlay/in_vgm. (Even though I can't test it right now, since I don't have foobar installed, I will try it out sometime.)

can you convince the author to put it on github?

ah, I wish we knew who the guy is, we could add him to our github organization and he could work directly with us on github...

Does the PseudoStereo option actually do anything? I've finally figured out how to turn it on, but it just doesn't seem to be working for me.

Post by **ValleyBell** » 2014-11-25, 7:46:15

Description from VGMPlay.ini:

Code: Select all

[YM2612]
; MAME: if on, the chip updates its left/right channel alternatively, creating a nice pseudo-stereo effect
PseudoStereo = False

It might not be audible unless you have noise-type sounds like FM cymbals, for example.
