Falcom BGM Info

Introduction

Falcom BGM Info is a quality-of-life mod for various Nihon Falcom games on PC. It displays an unobtrusive "Toast" notification at the top of the screen whenever the background music changes, showing the Song Title, Japanese Title, Album, and Disc/Track number, similar to how the newer PH3 Ports (Ys X: Nordics, and the Calvard Arc Trails games) do.

It is designed to be lightweight, compatible with Steam Deck/Linux, and requires no configuration—just drag and drop to install.
