https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGM_(file_format)
VGM (Video Game Music) is an audio file format for multiple video game platforms, such as Sega Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive/Genesis, MSX, Neo Geo, IBM PC AT (Adlib/SoundBlaster), and has expanded to a variety of arcade system boards since its release.
The standard filename extension is .vgm, but files can also be Gzip compressed into .vgz files. Technically, .vgz files should be named .vgm.gz, but because some popular operating systems' file managers cannot handle file name suffixes that themselves contain a period, .vgz is used in order to launch a VGM player, not a file archiver program such as WinZip or WinRAR.
The VGM format is different from formats like NSF or SID, which contain the game's music code. Instead, the instructions sent to the sound chip are logged.
On November 20, 2005, VGM 1.50 was officially announced, and a new version of the input plug-in released. The new version of the format supported PCM optimization for the Yamaha YM2612 sound chip, which significantly reduces the size of VGM files by avoiding redundancy. The first YM2612 VGM archive, Project 2612, optimized all of its packages soon after.

Alright, enough shit
This DEADBEEF
It reads and can convert to .wav, .vgm files that you can find on https://vgmrips.net/ (vlc can't)
It's 100% accurate with everything neogeo SNK
Less with anything else such as "everything capcom arcade" stuffs for instance
Example:
This is the original final fight andore cage fight https://vgmrips.net/packs/pack/final-fight-cp-system#11-round-3-west-side-1
Convert it with deadbeef.... It doesn't sound like it should
However this https://vgmrips.net/packs/pack/garou-densetsu-shukumei-no-tatakai-fatal-fury#10-china-s-4000-years-of-history-tung-fu-rue-theme will sound exactly the same, so everything neogeo will output 100% accurate into .wav
And btw, "10. China's 4000 Years of History (Tung Fu Rue Theme) 1:30 + 1:25" above, is the real original source for that piece of shit song on the airwaves right now: https://youtu.be/vMLk_T0PPbk?list=PLDIoUOhQQPlU2DoseElwLlKXmV9YSEnKI&t=67
Seriously, compare starting at 0:05 and onward for the .vgm... Am I right? Of course I am... https://poal.co/static/images/WeSrW6.jpeg
...
So, once you downloaded the "deadbeef " program and the .vgz/.vgm (the difference being that .vgz is a glorified .vgm in a zip format) files of your choice such as https://vgmrips.net/packs/pack/real-bout-fatal-fury-special-neo-geo#16-london-march-billy-kane for instance, open your newly downloaded .vgz/.vgm file with deadbeef, right click on the song's name in deadbeef's playlist, and click "convert"... And you'll find your way from there to get your .wav output....
