Okay, so I researched some and I've read that, "Article 6 of the 1991 EU Computer Programs Directive allows reverse engineering for the purposes of interoperability, but prohibits it for the purposes of creating a competing product, and also prohibits the public release of information obtained though reverse engineering of software." Notice the last statement. It says that it's illegal to reverse engineer stuff if you intend to release the info, in this case the chiptunes, which are info, into the public. So, I can't really justify my actions. I downloaded the chiptunes and used them to display the songs on the internet. The displaying of the songs may be fair use, but the way I obtained the songs is, in the end, not. So, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to take down the songs because I wouldn't want people to take my stuff and reverse engineer it if I said not to. Even if I forgot, I would still like others to ask first. But, that makes me ask myself, "Is there a chance that I could get permission from the copyright holders?" Does anyone know how likely this is? I remember that one guy wanted to make a mod for Unreal 3 that is basically a remake of Duke Nukem 3D, and he got permission from the copyright holder to do so.

Well, I'm not asking if it's enforced, I'm asking if it's illegal, period. I don't want to take advantage of somebody just because they can't/won't do something about it.

I was just thinking, isn't most of this illegal? Like, the SPCs and the chiptunes. I'm pretty sure you'd have to reverse engineer the game in some way to get the tunes. I don't want to promote something illegal.

I just wanted to announce that I have just uploaded the 51st video to the playlist. There's many more to go. Dig in everybody!

Then I'd say good, becuase I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again.

Okay, the first one. Musashi - Village at Night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV0B6i0s2ok The audio was downgraded when I uploaded it. I even uploaded the audio in wav format. The kbits/sec was taken from basiclly 128 to 99. Enough to notice a difference. Anyone know a workaround?

Haha. That's great. I'm glad to know that not everybody is interested in only sonic, megaman, zelda, and mario songs all the time. I've got my music folder all setup. I'm going to back it up and start going through the files. I have 3,500 files and 161 games to go through. What I'll do is take 1-4 or 5 songs and make them into a video to put on youtube. What it will entail is the NSN VGM logo, and 1/3 way into the video will be the title screen for the game, and 2/3 of the way into the video will be a game screenshot. The music will be playing through this video. One important question. I need help uploading files to youtube. I want to get the best file format possible. I don't want youtube to reencode the file after I upload it. Got any info?

Oh, man, guys..... I've already got done with all my list. Now I have 1,268 files and 82 folders to go through. Now you have other great suggestions? I think I might become obsessed with this NSN VGM someday. See me in my room covered in wires. EDIT: I put them on my list anyway. I liked the Microsoft's Fury's music.

Okay. I now have 65 soundtracks to look through. I have 98 to go. Like I said, this is going to be a while.

Oh my goodness, people. I already have 150 of them listed. I'll probibly still add them anyway. This is going to take a while. I'm planning on doing a few each day.

Holy crap. It's been awhile. Surprized this thread isn't closed. So, now, I've looked through every post and taken just about every name of a game you guys said. Now I'm going to try and make a small program to automaticly make videos with screenshots and audio, then put them on youtube. It's going to be a while. Thanks!

http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/store/main_done.ogg Ahhh. Sigh. Could be much better. Basiclly, my Reaper program is running out of time trail. And my Plasma program is messing up when I try to make this remix(just this one, no more). I just don't know what to do. I guess I'll call it a day, for now. I will simply go do something else now. I think I will need to study about music composition and EQ and such. Dammit, I wish I could make this the way I had in my mind. I can't play guitar that fast, and I can't make it on the computer. And not only that, but it's a song that hardly ever, if ever, gets remixed, from a game that isn't so well known, so it would of been nice to get it approved for OCRemix. But I know that no one hardly ever remixes anything other than the popular games. It simply annoys(or hurts) me a little.

Good idea. I'll do that now. Here's the bass and drums that I've equalized. I think the bass may be a tad too low, but for now I'll stick with it, until I've listened to some music and compare it with my song. Oh, I will try and make the snare have more flare and spunk. Maybe the kick, too.

Okay, I think I'm starting to get it. Does anyone know were I can find some tutorials on equalizing a full song or a rock song? BTW, Dafydd, I'm not ignoring your comments, I'm busy learning. I do apprechiate your help.

I see. Thanks.
