I think it's neat. I haven't messed with anyone yet, but I like RomHacking and merging it with previously undiscovered hardware is a neat little technical task. Even if I don't really care about the results per se.
I don't really care about hacks which replace music for the sake of music replacement, but I really respect projects which use MSU-1 for the purposes of restoring content. Like the BS Zelda translation which uses MSU-1 to replace missing SoundLink radio broadcast audio or the recent Tokimeki Memorial translation which restores some of voice acting from the PC Engine version.
I don't think anything of them because I play on original hardware, on a CRT.
Use a flashcart. FXPAK supports MSU-1.
>use emulators that you have to pay for
No.
>claim that they play on the original hardware and not on freely downloadable emulators
>refuses to pay for accessories for their real hardware
A flashcart isn't an emulator.
If it's emulating an MSU-1 it is.
Can you emulate something which does not exist in physical form?
It's not emulation because the flashcart has the necessary hardware to make MSU-1 on the original console.
Real MSU-1 chips don't exist anywhere. The flashcart is just emulating one with an FPGA.
Would you consider playing these hacks on a flashcart as playing on real hardware if it contained a proper ASIC implementation of the MSU-1 chip design?
Sure. Unless the ASIC does not conform to the specification correctly, then it's juts a shitty cone console.
Emulate my foot up your ass
>Remake songs with original sources for a theoretical lossless version of the song
>Make them sound worse
How is this possible
sounds good
>no yoshi bongos

they don't even really sound much different
Here's a better restoration effort. I think it is pretty good. I can envision Nintendo releasing an album full of these in the 90s.
when you're making digital music, you might be surprised how the dynamics can alter the entire vibe of a song. techno in its strictest sense is about manipulating sound itself to create something catchy for example.
you can have a song completed but you slap reverb here or compression there, and you either enhance or ruin the feeling.
most of the restoration efforts i've seen have tons of reverb that ruins the rhythm/feel. most people don't make music because it's shit like this they're deaf to.
It still comes down to mixing. Also, in some cases the music was made with the SNES compression in mind. DKC2 is a very good example of this. The fanmade restoration sounds good for the most part, but it is nowhere near the improvement that DKC1's restoration is, because David Wise was at all times making sure the music sounded as he intended it to sound.
Honestly, I'd rather just have the original BGM, but everything replaced with real instruments where possible. Hardly anyone does that. Most hacks sound like remixes, not the original compositions in higher fidelity.
Not real instruments, just higher quality samples, but the ALttP MSU-1 hack with the ZREO version of the ALttP soundtrack is pretty good.
No, real instruments played by someone competent - sampled. Synth samples lack vitality.
I understand anon but I also believe ZREO was very well and competently made and the ALttP MSU-1 benefitted from it.
While I despise the SNES soundchip, given it's literally just a dogshit hold-over that only existed to tide the system over before the CD addon that never came, I don't really see the merit in patching anything other than BS roms.
It's like listening to MT-32 versions of DOS soundtracks. Sure, they're good, but what I fricking want from those games is the adlib sound of my youth, not the thing some rich producer's son might've had if he was lucky.
If I want a game with alright music, I'll play a Mega Drive title. If I want a game with amazing music, I'll play PC Engine.
I think the SNES CD chip was a waste of time, and i can't think of any hacks that made me go "wow, this is worth having to use Higan/SD2SNES."
I love SNES music and I don't care about this at all
