{wiki=VGM_(file_format)}

The VGM file format stands for Video Game Music and is a music file format used for storing music data generated by video game sound chips. It is primarily associated with retro video game consoles and computers, such as the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Boy, and many others that use FM synthesis or similar sound technologies. VGM files contain a series of commands that control the sound hardware to reproduce the original music tracks as they were intended to be heard in the games.
