- This is intended as something for people to discover and enjoy retro video game music. You will hear/see one of three things on this channel right now.
- 1. Super Metroid any% or other speedruns and gaming streams as per usual, of course! I will restart the stream before doing SM runs so as to notify people.
- VGM stream
- 2. Keyboard view - meant to educate all of us on how this music was written, from both a technical and compositional viewpoint ( hoot sound hardware emulator, homepage @ http://dmpsoft.s17.xrea.com/hoot/ or check http://snesmusic.org/hoot/v2/ )
- 3. Hardware rip from the original console - meant to showcase exactly what the audio was supposed to sound like, from the source. If you see what looks like a sound test, you are listening to the actual system/cart. There is a caveat, in that some soundtracks are played on the original system using data roms containing the song data, when a sound test is not available. (exception: policenauts soundtest is from an emulator)
- The audio will always be recorded as flac until final broadcast (when I'm streaming to Music)
- I'm open to any suggestions, thanks!
- Some more useful links to finding this music (you will need a viable audio player or plugin(s) to play these files) :
- SNES Music (.spc) - snesmusic.org
- Genesis Music (.vgm) - project2612.org
- NES music - search google for ".nsf", which is the NES music file format
- Q: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS???
- A:
- - I've always wanted to get hoot decked out with as much VGM as possible, but seeing as how it's a Japanese program and most of the resources are in Japanese, it's quite arduous. This project gives me a reason to put it all together and I've received some massive help in this department due to starting it.
- - I've always wanted nice recordings from the actual hardware, especially for certain systems, like genesis, who's sound chip has more character sometimes than is captured by emulation, I feel.
- - Some soundtracks, like raging fighter for game boy, weren't available to me for easy listening, so I didn't listen to them much. This solves that issue.
