- Lunar: a ripped format is in the works, but don't hold your breath. Until then, VGMs sound fantastic :-)
- Uhm, the filesizes by Knurek at 10:52 AM EST on November 9, 2005
- Also, wouldn't it be feasible to recompress the sets as normal VGM, no VGZ?
While the unpacked size would be much larger, the packed sets are much, much smaller (for example Alien Soldier goes down from 23 MB to 8 MB).

- Yay for responding to a multitude of posts at once.
Knurek: Personally, I leave all the sets outside the RARs for easy listening, and it would be a complete pain to go through and recompress all the files after downloading them.
One possible advancement that's being considered for the VGM format (or so says Maxim of SMS Power) is sample banks, which would cut the size down to just above the level of an emulated rip. There's another format (Gens+ exclusive I believe) that has this implemented and the filesizes are great, but the accuracy in Gens' logging and this particular format are noticeably below VGM standards...
UNKNOWNFILE: I'm personally using Kega Fusion 3.4. There's a hacked version of Gens tha also logs it, but the files it makes tend to skip -- a very bad thing.
Josh W: So either rip it yourself, or wait for one of us to feel like it. ;)

- Oh, I'm a dumbass. I do know what these are. I didn't realise people were ripping Genesis music with it though. See I knew they were used for Master System music and I knew they could also be used for FM synthesis, I just didn't make the connection that they supported Genesis music. Well... that rocks. :)

- UNKNOWNFILE: Definitely Kega Fusion 3.4. The accuracy on it is about as close as one can get, though it still balks on certain things, like all emus do. (Compare, say, Shaq Fu on a console and then in Gens/Kega - you'll see what I mean.)
Knurek: Yes, the sets are RARed up basically for convenience - it's easier to stuff them all in a RAR for distribution rather then 50 seperate files. Once you get the RAR, unpack it - the size difference is pretty much nil (That and some players/plugins don't exactly like playing from the RAR...) as it would be opposed to unpacking it. Hard Drives are cheap, saw a 300 Gig HD on sale for about $120... I need to get myself some new ones... I got 110 Gigs of space between two drives and they're both nearly full. :p
R. Belmont: Good news to hear. :D
- VERY cool. by SquareTex at 1:04 PM EST on November 9, 2005
- I knew that VGM was expanding into Genesis territory...I just didn't know how far it had come! :D
Well done. :)

- Cool, GYMs played havoc with my computer, it's amazing to see so many Genesis VGMs, I had no idea so many had been done. Cheers for the link.
- by djsw at 12:59 AM EST on November 10, 2005
- Vague Rant: Actually, all but one of those sets was done by either me or Dark Pulse. That combined with us opening the site a scant two days ago means not too many have heard yet.
Spread the word! We need more rippers! @_@

- Are any modifications made to the ROM, or are they just logged as is?
- Neo Geo ... anyone? by F3582 at 6:47 AM EST on November 10, 2005
- Greetings.
Does anyone know if VGM will be expanded to NeoGeo games some day? I'd love to hear those good old Metal Slug tunes without having to risk crashing my whole computer using NeoJukebox...
