MediaCoder handles a lot of formats but not mkv. I wish I could help you. -
Ninja Warriors Again - Boss #5 (Sources included)
Dafydd replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Requests
Hehe, this soundtrack is awesome, the game is alright, but the title is the best As far as I know you can't link to a youtube clip, it automatically turns into a little youtube window. Which is really stupid. Other forums have special tags to do this. Anyway, you need to disable smilies in that post or the link won't work at all. -
OCR01803 - Bionic Commando (NES) "Armed and Dangerous"
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
0 is 100% less than 1, but 1 isn't 100% more than 0... just saying. Anyway, this, like AnSo's latest mix, is pretty laid back and relaxing. Who would have guessed 100 years ago that electronic music could be this nice on the ears? The only thing I'm not particularily fond of is the lead, which is pretty harsh in comparison with the rest, especially when playing long notes as it doesn't have much of an envelope at all. The section at 2:57-3:10 is the best part of the whole song, except for the lead, and I wish more of the song sounded like that part. -
OC ReMix BitTorrent Distribution: Issues; also SEEDERS WANTED
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in Site Issues & Feedback
Would this website be helped by a Euro mirror at all? To host remixes I mean, not torrents... I'm looking at a host right now that would give me 167GB of traffic every day, and the transfer speeds seem promising - at least if downloading from a computer located in Europe. Bandwidth still seems to be an issue for this website and if I could help there I'd be very happy to. I need to look up some of the details but the web host seems very very nice. Would it be possible to get some ballpark figures of the average amount of traffic generated by remix downloads every month, in total, from all 3 mirrors (but not torrents)? -
Last time I tried that, it wouldn't play back midi files, and there was no plugin to be found for midi playback anywhere. I don't really like Winamp that much nowadays either. It's lost its original idea of being faster and sleeker than wmp, and getting an older version to get rid of all the bloat, you'll be missing out on the newer functionality that you do want... ChipPlay would be nice, but better still, chiptune playback on ipods and cell phones... though it really is a shame Meridian Advance stopped being in development. EDIT: Apparently, there's a thing called Rockbox that replaces the firmware on the ipod, making it capable of playing back nsf, spc, mod, and other formats. It also comes with a gameboy emulator... I'm gonna try this out as soon as I'm sure the original firmware can be reinstalled if something goes wrong. EDIT2: Unfortunately, there's no progress at all making Rockbox work on an iPod Classic. 4th generation seems to work fine though. I guess I'll have to wait for another few years...

Metroid Prime Ribz 3: Corruption Gendreyda battle
Dafydd replied to HoboKa's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
You can always do both... -
Hm, well, I guess I might get those then. Right now I feel a lot more like buying headphones, but I'll keep a look out for the x230.

I actually think the blur is sort of cool. But it does stand out from the other avatars.

OCR01802 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) "Claustrophobia"
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
About time someone took care of this. I made a wip featuring this source tune about a year ago... it was pretty different from this one. I like this one a lot though, it sounds like a mix of System Shock 2 and... well, DKC3, but on the Mega Drive A mix of filtered and FM-ish pads and leads make for a very soft electronic sound. Very easy on the ears, and very much appreciated. Heja AnSo! -
PM me a link to the wip and I will sign you back up again.

I'm glad some people are still interested in this. Unfortunately right now would be an absolutely terrible time for me to revive this, as I've just dived into a new semester at school, and it's looking pretty grim... best I can do now is wait for whoever was in this project before and see if they feel wrongfully removed from the tracklist. If they do they might be inspired to work a little harder. I can, however, not expect anyone else to join this project until I start putting more work into it myself, and right now, I have no time nor energy to start working on a mix of any of the tracks from this game. I'll PM Vurez and ask him if he ever got finished with this Pharaoh Man mix and if he still wants it in the project (regardless of whether he released it himself or not).

Warcraft 2 'Human Battle 1' - v2 (Oct 9)
Dafydd replied to Dafydd's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Yeah, it's university alright. I used to do what you're doing all the way through high school (and before that I didn't do anything at all) and got away with B's and A's. Now though I study for weeks and still don't pass anything. It really sucks. -
The logitech x-230 was the exact set I was looking at in a local store. They're like $80 new here. I'd imagine that even at $20, with overseas shipping it'll probably add up to something like that, and they'd be used. I'm not worried about ear damage, to be honest, I usually listen really loud anyway, but I wouldn't be comfortable doing this with speakers. I have neighbors... EDIT: AKG K240S. Apparently I can get these at a bargain price (though still more than $100). Thoughts?

This one I will. Promise I just got really really swamped at school all of a sudden. -

Great. Then I can cover it at the end of this remix without changing its name. -
Warcraft 2 'Human Battle 1' - v2 (Oct 9)
Dafydd replied to Dafydd's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
No one seems to want to help there.... hm, I guess I'll have to do it myself. I've ripped all of the mission briefings from the game and plan to cut out certain parts and add as "rap" in the middle section of the remix. A lot of the mission briefing speech is actually very rhythmic, so it should turn out well. Meanwhile, can someone tell me if this song is from the original game or from the expansion? -
Dyne - yes, this project will ever be finished. If you are interested in joining, I will sign you up. Like I said somewhere, this project being put on ice means I'm not going to actively search for new participants, but any progress is welcome. I have updated the front post to better reflect the project's current status. If anyone who was previously on that list is still interested in participating, they'll have to say so. Luke - that's from the first game. Mega Man 1 could use a remix project of it's own, but that box art is really unrelated... nice resolution on that one though, I saved a copy. Pogue - your art looks excellent. Someone else said they'd be making a website for the project, I'll try to get a hold of him and see if he's still up for it, and whether he's doing art or not, but I would really like to have you!
-
No promises, but I'll certainly try... Though it'll be a hand-drawn something, scanned, that someone else might be able to touch up some.

What if you keep the owl the same size but scale the entire sword so it's smaller, then?
-
Thanks for the links. I wish there some OCReMixes though.
-
That beach idea would look nice on the back cover... anyway, about the handle, maybe it's supposed to be that long, but then the owl should be bigger. I should probably go too... been meaning to for days now but I'm just sitting here, getting fatter every day.

OCR01800 - Super Metroid "Jade Catacombs"
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Eagerly awaiting your next remix, less reverb or not! -
This version is very nice. I know I was complaining about the sword before but the shape of the arcs was much nicer in the first one, I think. Also, how big is the owl supposed to look like? You've extended the handle a lot, the witdh/length ratio is over 3 times what it was in the original picture, so when you picture Link's hand on the handle, the owl feels only half as big as it was in the first picture. Maybe it's supposed to be that small though. Would it be too much to ask to have you try removing about 1/4 of the handle's length? I really don't know how much effort this would take on your part. The rain looks much better, except for a few strokes in on the left edge, especially the upper part. Cropping 10-20 pixels off the left edge would probably get rid of that though.

OCR01800 - Super Metroid "Jade Catacombs"
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yes? -This hurts my ears. -It's....noise...? -The guitars are out of tune. -It's....the Beatles...? I can have an opinion, can't I? And personally I would have liked this better had it been done in the other genre, uh, "trance with less reverb". I don't know if that genre has a real name. -
I don't want to/won't take your job, but here's what I imagine the cover might sort of look like?
