    PRC283 - Results - Meeting the Deadline of Undeadline (Undeadline)

    Making a MIDI yourself is a bit of work, but then you are free to choose whatever song you want :). When I was making my pick for PRC282 and was looking for existing MIDI files, the choices turned out to be more limited than I had thought.

    I remember there used to be quite a lot more MIDIs of MSX games, but a lot of sites collecting and hosting them have shut down and the MIDI files were lost along with them. Two of the three MIDI files I provided for the PRC282 Illusion Theme were recovered from the archive.org way-back machine. Also many MIDI arrangements are too far from the original to be usable. So next time (I’m optimistic ;p) I think I’ll also have to bite the bullet and make one myself.

    Though, I just received a MIDI-PAC today, which converts MSX YM2413 (OPLL) music to MIDI, that would be quite helpful there I imagine :). It would be cool if emulators implemented similar functionality.

    Sir_NutS: Looking forward to it!

    Anorax: Ouch, that sucks! Don’t you have an old render to share so we can hear what direction you were taking it? :)

    Yami: The game only runs on turboR and didn’t have a translation at all for a long time, and now still only has a partial translation, so not many people in the west have played it. However the music is well known in MSX-land :).

    Woohoo! A tie, I bet that doesn’t happen often :). Congratulations to sir nuts too!

    I had great fun working on this entry. It’s actually been like a decade or so since I last produced a complete song (and that was in 8-bit trackers), so I learned a lot about the modern tools. The ocremix competition really motivated me, it’s a great format!

    I’m very happy how the song and the votes turned out, and that I get to pick a source now :).
