Does "gzip.exe" exist in the same directory as vgm2mid? It needs that tool to decompress VGZ files.

Thank you, I have been able to convert it to a midi file, but when I play it using a midi player there is no sound, or there is only one sound

The MIDI patches for FM instruments are chosen rather arbitrarily.
YM2203/2608/2610 SSG is not supported, so those channels will be missing.

I watched your video on Bunretsu Shugo Shin Twinkle Star on YouTube. You mentioned converted to MID using msdrv2mid in the introduction. Then I went to your github and read the article on MidiConverters but I can’t understand the code. Please ask. Can you package msdvr2mid.c into an exe Programs? Just like Vgm2mid
