Is there a vgm2opnb converter?

Thanks a lot for your hard work, by the way.

Hmm, are you saying there isn't one, like the .opm format for the ym2151 or the .tfi one for the ym2612?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I was hoping that you could explain me that "opnb" format, because I have never heard of it.

If you don't know whether or not that "opnb" format exists, then why are you asking for it?

I am talking about a tool that can convert fm instruments, found in vgm files that uses the YM2610 chip, to files that can be used as instruments in Furnace Tracker.

Ah, that's what you mean. Your question about "vgm2opnb" suggested that there exists a ".opnb" format, because an "a to b" tool usually converts between two different formats.

Maybe some OPN instrument editor works for your problem?
2612edit can definitely read YM2610 instruments and save them as .gyb. I don't know if vgm2pre or OPN2BankEditor also work.

Yes, 2612edit definitely works. Thank you!

Sorry about the misunderstanding earlier.

Can someone create a program that can extract the files in GBS group files? I can't find any that work without the music's loops being lost!

I downloaded these files from the Portable Music History section of SNESmusic.org
