Now that is what I've been waiting for! Will test it out later and see how well it works, especially whether or not it works with compressed VGZ files.GD3 to implement the writing of tags(It is still incomplete).

Basically you need everything but VGMPlayUI.c, VGMPlay_AddFmts.c and and Stream.c.
Then you do something like this.
Configuration settings are loaded between Init() and Init2().

Minor thing... I've been having this issue for a while and keep forgetting to report it. When I run VGMPlay on my Win98 box so I can use OPL hardware passthrough, it displays kind of odd. Image attached. If the "File Name" path is longer than one line, like in the screenshot, it will show the path repeated all over the window. In the event that the path is short enough to fit on one line, it will instead print the title over and over (cut off like the path shown). Just a visual bug, everything else works fine, but I wanted to set up a hardware VGM jukebox kind of thing and this just doesn't really look presentable, and in_vgm doesn't do hardware FM.

I am having a strange problem and I am hoping you guys could help me.
Recently I decided to update in_vgm or the VGMplay plugin to the latest version and noticed something weird.
Before I updated it redid the Ecco the Dolphin soundtrack I had because I noticed on Project 2612 they updated the set in August of 2014.
But when I put the .vgz files in Winamp after I updated it they sounded different, like not as good, the volumes of some channels
seem too loud or too quiet, and I noticed the drums or percussion or whatever you call it sounded mono like the rest of the song and the drums sounded stereo like
when I had the same files in Winamp before I updated it. I am not exactly sure which version of in_vgm I had before but it must have been a different version and Iv'e never
really messed around with any of the settings in either version I had. Here is a comparison to show you what I am talking about. https://mega.co.nz/#!ZBd2xTYA!GBdikf5pk ... ZAjaHMN9Tc Sorry this is such a long post but I hope someone will be able to help figure out what is going on.

If the old drums had some stereo, that was probably an option that I incorrectly had enabled by default in previous versions.
The option is called "PseudoStereo" and can be enabled by editing in VGMPlay.ini or in_vgm.ini.
Depending on what program you use for in_vgm, the .ini file can be at various locations. For Winamp 5, it is under %APPDATA%\Winamp\Plugins, for most other programs it is in the folder with the DLL.
