Vgm to mod converter

Hello,
Is it possible to convert automatically VGM rips to Amiga modules?

I'm specifically interested in these rips

Thanks,

I think VGM = video game music, it's not file format.

Game name: Truxton
System: Toaplan 1
Music hardware: YM3812
Music author: Masahiro Yuge
Game developer: Toaplan
Game publisher: Taito Corporation
Game release date: 1988
My first VGM Pack that uses YM3812.

I`m not quiet sure but vgm seems very different to mod format. So I guess there is no converter.

I've done a .vgm > c64 converter (for BBC Micro & Master System tracks) , it's basically a stream of output data from the console. You could make a tracker converter for the song data, though sometimes you have to convert the .vgm songs again to make them vblank-timing friendly. (there are tools to do that) The only other problem would be running out of pattern space in the mod, unless you really wanted to go through and optimize duplicate sequences. (I don't think you'd get much optimization out of it when a pattern's channels all share the same pattern in mod format) Anyway, most console music of that era is less than 2 minutes long per track so it'd probably fit ok. Here are some examples of my player:
