There's no other way to say this: this rendition is simply better than the original, which is a masterpiece in its own right. The sound has a much crisper delivery here, and the extra drums increase the intensity without coming off as overdone.

+Kuhntee Nyctiproc IMO F-Zero is one of the best sounding SNES games. Game took a long time to be developed, more than 15 months, and sounds better than many others SNES games which usually have weaker drums (snares in particular) and more muffled sound.

@@yoru7852 except having just 64 KB of ram for store the midi note data and the sample that come with the tracker is seriously difficult to manage, i have huge respect for people like David Wise that was able to mimic the tone of a Korg Wavestation, to make the ambiant soundtrack of DKC with just 64 kb for everything, all the composer of the SNES era was limited by that factor, on megadrive you only have to program the synth and add few kilobite of sample for the drums sample that make the thing more bearable, to use, and you are not limited with tracker to make your music, GEMS soundkit work with midi support.

Raijin, this might be too much for you and you don't have to do it, but do you think you could try your hand at arranging ALTTP music? I know orchestral music isn't necessarily one of the YM2612's strengths, but there are a few games that manage to pull it off very well, including Master of Monsters, Gauntlet IV, Castlevania Bloodlines, and Beyond Oasis. I'd be interested in hearing a song from that game in the style of those.

Very interesting. I'm biased towards the SNES but I have to agree this really improves on the original (although I think some of that was that the SNES was new when F-Zero was made and maybe composers hadn't figured it out yet?) I hear some SFX that sound like Street Fighter II in this too?
@LobotomyTC3 жыл бұрын
The problem with the SNES is that it had 64k of ARAM that it had to share with the rest of the hardware. You could NEVER get above a certain quality with it, unfortunately. It's sad, because the chip they used is capable of way more if it had the RAM. It's a classic Nintendo thing to use the right parts but attach them together horribly.

@ChiptunedRaijin9 жыл бұрын
umiami80 I have seen that thread, and actually it is what made me feel like covering this track. I didn't feel like bugging gasega68k to try and port F-Zero just because I covered this though. I would certainly not mind doing some music for an F-Zero demo on the Genesis, however, the conversion process has proved to fail in the past. You might know of the Bad Apple demo for the Genesis which Stef made. I actually covered it for the Genesis to be used in that demo, but it ended up not being included. The conversion process was very unreliable, mostly because I use a VGM format tracker, which isn't really optimized for games, more for hardware accuracy in general. Now, if someone made an F-Zero demo, I would provide this track for them to use. If it would work out, it would be good news, so we would just have to see what happens. Hopefully conversion is more reliable.

+Eduardo Briseno Finally, KZfaq is letting me respond to you. To answer that, no, at the moment, I am not too interested in making music for the SNES. I prefer using Trackers dedicated to the sound hardware, and there aren't any fully completed SNES Trackers yet. In addition to that, I am more a fan of FM. It's more fun to program the sound, and work around the limitations of the Genesis. I feel like The Genesis has way more potential to discover, and it's fun trying to reach closer and closer to that potential. Still, whenever an SNES Tracker does finally become available, I will be sure to try it.

Hey, nice analysis. :) There is some things I did on purpose though. I made it more rock oriented to be more like F-Zero X rather than the original, because I always thought rock suited the series more.
