·( How to make VGM music files and packs )·
These pages will attempt to show you how to make a trimmed, looped, compressed VGM music file, like the ones available here; and how to package a set together with the necessary information. If you have any comments or suggestions on how to improve these instructions then let me know. These pages are specific to the software currently available, in future there will hopefully be more options. You should follow each of these steps in order to make a VGM set which meets SMS Power's standards.
