    I don't know where to post this to increase my chances of a response, but let's try this and see how it goes:

    I'm looking at https://vgmrips.net/wiki/VGM_Specification, and I'm reading about the 0x90-0x95 commands. It mentioned "data banks". Searching around the page and across the web, I have yet to find a definition of data banks. I thought they might be the same as "data blocks", but the text saying that "multiple data blocks expand the data bank" seems to indicate they're different.

    I just want to know how this stream data should be formatted, and the documentation doesn't spell out where the data being referenced actually goes. I wonder if the (well-meaning) folks who wrote this have actually tried to follow their own documentation, because I am not convinced there's enough information here.

    Is there anyone who knows and is willing to help me understand?
