-The VGM file will be stored in C:\Users\[yourname]\.
I'm following the tutorial at https://vgmrips.net/wiki/Project2612_ripping_tutorial - I'm trying to dump VGM's from the Sonic 2 August 21, 1992 prototype.
The instructions say:
However I don't see a VGM file in the folder that contains the exe. I assume I am supposed to be running blastem.exe, not the other executables in the folder. I also checked my %appdata% folder and there doesn't seem to be a blastem folder like I saw mentioned.Proceed to the place where the song you're going to rip is going to play (sound test, game level, etc) and then start logging. You can do this by pressing the shortcut key, M. BlastEm will dump a log-in-progress in its .exe folder, with a name like blastem_20211117_160122.vgm, by default.
Is it dumped somewhere else? Am I doing something wrong? I haven't yet installed anything else from the instructions but they don't seem to be related to the logging process so I didn't think I'd need anything special at this point.
Please bear with me, I'm still getting used to this forum (total zoomer to be honest). I apologize if I missed something in the instructions or if the answer was somewhere else I could've checked.
Thanks!
