Notes:
Third Metal Slug game released in 2000. Track
17 is impossible to trim tho, that I use
vgm_lpfnd, vgm2txt, nothing works. I used
Duchemole's MS2 to get the exact trim I need
to cut the exact loop, and nothing works. But
thankfully, BoxCubed managed to trim this
track, kudos to him. I logged it, but BoxCubed
trimmed it. Also the composers of the game are
the real names I used in tagging. Masato
Horiuchi is known as "HORI-HORI". Yoshihiko
Wada is known as "Captain Bero-ou". Also I put
all composers with full names on their
corresponding tracks. But I can't find the
full names of Maitaro and Q_Jirou tho. Track
listing are taken from METAL SLUG COMPLETE
SOUND BOX | SCDC-00542~9. The japanese listing
are taken from METAL SLUG 3 ORIGINAL SOUND
TRACK | NF-0002. Thank you very much BoxCubed
for that trim, I don't know how to thank you,
but yeah I'll gladly appreciate it. Also this
pack is huuuuuge! Almost 1GB when i logged it
individually. (for vgm_lpfnd purposes, sadly
it didn't work so I have to do manual looping.)


Ver 1.05:
Track 01 is wayyy too loud, so I had to
restore back to the original volume.

Ver 1.15:
Fun fact: track 05 originated from Mission
3 in Air Duel, and Mission 2-2 and 3-1 from
GunForce 2.
