Ripping instruments from ROMs?

[zilliont]

So, I just grabbed myself the latest build of the Deflemask VGM tracker/player, and I'm currently in the search of instrument files of all kinds to use on it. Could you guys and gals who are into this sort of thing please instruct me on how to rip instruments - not music - from a regular old game ROM? Getting stuff from Genesis games and FM-powered arcade titles is my top priority right now, but all kinds of help is apprecciated!

1. Get VGM Player and load songs onto a rom.
2. Open the rom with Gens KMod.
3. Click CPU>Debug>Genesis>YM2612
4. Here you can see each channel and which one is being played, and rip instruments.

That's what I used to do at least, maybe there are better tools now.

Edit:
If you need drum samples, there's a pack uploaded by legend of renegade on YT.

You're welcome! Here's another tool you could use which should save some time, that I just found out about:
