Not scaled! It's a typo, and only should send from 0-15

So here is my little contribution a vgm 2 genm converter...it could be useful if you want to process some vgm's that were not included in tfi packages
or convert some personal vgm instruments...
tested and works fine

Give it a try!
The only thing we got to get right is the DEC2 (secondary decay) parameter, I tested both with mine and your tfi 2 genmdm and also directly reading from actual tfi / vgm files.
DEC2 secondary decay ranges from 0 to 31 not 0 15
so if you try to load and instrument that has more than 15 on the secondary decay (say 25) the value will be 15 anyway when loaded to genmdm editors causes differences in the sound.
Check out some of your genm files you should find quite some with more than 15 on DEC2.
Also as 0 15 is actually mapped to 0 127, a 15 on DEC2 correspond to 31 on the hardware and so on...
Whether or not you change the range on the editors or on the tfi/vgm data import will make the problem solved.

I do not know if it makes sense...maybe I do not understand some internal conversion well...you tell me

Simply drag and drop a .vgm file onto vgm2genm.exe
will output a .genm file in the same forder
You can drop many vgm at the same time.

You can also process a whole directory with all sub folders
using this command line with cmd.exe :
vgm2genm.exe [path\\]* to process whole directory with all subdirectories

source included : need Zlib to compile.
Have fun!
