Dived into thread with a mix of excitement and confusion. Left feeling cheap and abused :wink:

We can only imagine eh? The theme sounds nice on MS hardware though. Always loved the Thunderforce music.

This is insanely good, even better than the genesis version.

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. Better then the Genesis version. Can't believe it sounds this good.

Interesting.

Don't understand why people think it sounds better than the MD version though. :?

What, so you're the guy behind it? Wow, you're pretty awesome in my books then. But when doing more, compille them all in mp3 form or something and add it to you sig or something for download. Cause I want.

Maybe because I just gt into the series (litterally, like a few days ago), so I'm not clouded/blinded by nostalgia?

I dunno, I love the originals! I think Tecnosoft did an amazing job with the Genesis hardware. But I'm glad someone digs my work :D

Yeah, I want to do more SMS covers. I might do a couple more TF3 tracks; maybe Hydra and ORN Base. I was thinking of doing Gorgon but I dunno how well that'll come out in SMS form.

Thanks! I'm using SchismTracker and IT2VGM to make a VGM file. Then I use a stub that you glue the VGM onto that you can then run on a real system (using an Everdrive).

BTW TF3's Gorgon stage is next :D

Interesting. Would it be possible to use a track created that way in an actual game or does the player eat up all of the Master System's resources?

Are you using the YM2413 or the European Master-System's Sound-Hardware?

Yes and no. It's in VGM format, which is just a huge dump of what's going through the soundchip. You'd have to redo it in a more game-friendly format if you also want to fit a game onto the cartridge. It's also using all 4 sound channels so you'd have some cut-outs when sound effects play. But, I think it should be possible with a good sound engine. In fact, I'd say what I'm using is less capable than a good sound engine made specifically for SMS would be-- I'm composing in SchismTracker, which is very generalized.

It's the beeper, so I guess the European SMS hardware (or American SMS).

Maybe! I'm trying to stick to TF3 for now. I just started doing a Gorgon cover and it's coming along pretty well. :)

JP SMS has the PSG (standard SMS sound) too. The FM was originally an optional accessory for the Mark III in Japan, but it's built in the JP SMS. Very nice PSG remake of the TFIII music. I like how it's done in the EU style like some C64 music.

I was going to say I thought it sounded very SID like.
