vgmrips

There are some songs that I like so much that I'd love if they looped 3 or 4 times, while the rest would remain looping just 2.

This is easy to do in some other music formats like SPC or MiniUSF that allow one to right-click -> View file info, on the Playlist Window of Winamp, in where one can change the length of the song directly. While In_VGM also shows a length box for the songs, one is unable to change it despite the blinking text cursor.

Other music formats like Module Tracker allow length editing by third party software (say, copying and pasting the part one likes to loop an extra time(s).)

I've been messing around trying to change the length of a song with VGMTool and vgm_spts, but I'm only able to make the songs shorter (say, loop once in a loop 2 times environment), not longer.

I'd like to know if there's a way to extend these VGZ music files, or a way to extend VGM music files (by choosing arbitrary length, or specifying some Loop "x times" that overrides default, or some other method.)

Use vgm_ptch from the vgmtools.

Usage:
If it's an old VGM file (pre v1.51 for SetLoopMod or 1.60 for SetLoopBase) you will have to update it with the following command


then you can

This multiplies the loop count (notice hexadecimal notation, the actual loop modifier is a 4.4 fixed point value, or the value divided by 16).

OR

This subtracts a "base value" from the default loop count, so if set to -100 (Notice the negative value), and the default loop count is 2, it will loop 102 times.

SetLoopBase will add or subtract from the player's loop count preference, while SetLoopMod will multiply or divide this value.

If you don't want to use the hexadecimal notation, you can also use
