Video Game Sound Converter (a.k.a VGS Converter or just VGSC) is a program that basically has the ability to convert a range of different video game audio formats into .wav files. It can do multiple files at once, and it can be a mixture of formats.
The program uses a library called vgmstream, which does that actual converting. The range of file formats is quite large, and will hopefully include what people here wish to convert.
How to use
There are two ways to use this. The first and most straightforward way is to just open VGSC.exe, you'll see this:

A file opening dialog will come up. Navigate to and select the files you want to convert. Now a folder selection dialog will appear; use that to select the folder you want the converted files to be saved in (note: the folder must exist beforehand). You'll see a bunch of text come up, similar to this:

The other way you can run it is just through the command-line, either using the command prompt or writing a .bat file. This is the usage:
I'm planning to add extra optional arguments that affect how the files are converted in the future. For now however, this is probably not the option most people will use.
Compatability
Here is a list of the currently supported files according to the vgmstream readme (you can find the readme itself in the vgmstream subfolder of the application). I can't guarantee that all or most of these will work, I've only tested a few of them. However I believe that as long as you got the file from the console associated with its extension below (e.g. a .ss2 file from a PSX game), you should have no trouble converting it.
This compatibility list is from the readme, which hasn't been updated in a while. This is most likely because no major formats or features have been added, but there have been slight fixes and tweaks (hence newer vgmstream versions in each release), which you can view on the vgmstream SourceForge changelog. The changes made are mostly relatively small and only matter for specific situations and thus I'm not going to update VGSC for each revision, only when I update VGSC itself or if significant changes have been made to it. However, if you want me to update VGSC to a new revision of vgmstream for a specific purpose, feel free to say so.
