I've been noticing that there are quite a few games that support the FM Unit with either FM or PSG VGM packs on this site, but not both. Let's track these down and hopefully eliminate some of them as we go along, shall we?

PSG only (no FM)
Battle Out Run (Hidden FM)
Bomber Raid
Cloud Master
Lord of the Sword
Parlour Games
R-Type
Shinobi
Time Soldiers
Vigilante[/quote]
FM only (no PSG)
Quote
Galactic Protector

No VGM packs
Quote
Assault City (Hidden FM)
Double Hawk (Hidden FM)
Golfamania
Great Golf
Nekkyuu Koushien
Rescue Mission
Tennis Ace

The following games already have logged FM VGMs, courtesy of Sherpa:

Alien Syndrome
Battle Out Run
Blade Eagle 3D
Bomber Raid
Casino Games
Cloud Master
Double Hawk

There are some quirks with these games' FM soundtracks as well, which are presumably why Sherpa didn't get to them at the time:

Alien Syndrome
- The Level Music desyncs over time in Sherpa's log. I would log it again myself to double-check, but it happens to be really difficult to log from this game due to there not really being a screen where you can play music without being interrupted.

Battle Out Run
- This soundtrack just doesn't sound right in FM (everything is an octave too low and there's no percussion).

Double Hawk
- This soundtrack includes most of Cloud Master's music as well, for some reason. Some of the tracks even vary from the versions in Cloud Master as well- do those go in the Double Hawk or Cloud Master pack?

One pack down! This one is for Atsushi in the YouTube comments section:

バットエンディング曲「Bankrupt」がシュール過ぎる。FM音源も素晴らしいので、是非アップしてください。

Fantasy Zone: The Maze (FM)

Another one down! This one interested me because the original Fantasy Zone on SMS never got a FM soundtrack, making this the closest we're ever going to get to that.

One more... From Rusty Rom Games in the comments of the PSG version on YT:

For some reason, nobody has ripped the FM version of it, shame 😢

Sherpa had already trimmed most of the soundtrack, so why not?

Two more- these were high on my hitlist as the only soundtrack on Kazuhiko Nagai's gameography fully absent from the site (I still have to tackle FM Alien Syndrome).

Here we go, as alluded to in the last post. The trimming of the Main BGM was a bit scary.
