foo_input_vgel is a decoder component that adds playback for chiptune and game-music formats via two engines: the native cores in Game_Music_Emu (CPU-emulated) and the VGMPlay multi-chip engine (register-logged). It is based on foo_gep and overlaps functionality with foo_input_gme.

Supported formats are AY, GBS, GYM, HES, KSS, NSF/NSFE, SAP, SGC, SPC/SFM, and VGM, plus the compressed containers RSN, VGZ, and VGM7Z.
