    I actually went and bought the Ghost in the shell ps2 game. ($7) It was a 3rd person shooter and you played as the Major and Batou. The game plays alright, and the story definitely has that GitS feel, but the level design is horrible, it's very short, the AI is retarded, and the story is broken up by these long empty levels. But I expected that. It wasn't a bad game. Major and Batou play very differently, the graphics are very well done for last gen, and there's vs multiplayer.

    I have it too. I enjoyed it, but yeah the AI is pretty dumb.

    The PSX game is better. You just run around in a Fuchikoma blowing shit up, and the animated cutscenes look almost exactly like the manga, where the movies and tv series do not at all :P

    Looks like XMSNES isn't going to be developed any more though :(. Maybe there's some alternative out there somewhere...

    There's not really any group of people interested in turning their .xm files into a .spc. I've done it, but it's more of a stupid novelty thing :P The actual purpose of XMSNES was to make music for homebrew SNES shit.

    Also, I love VOPM. FruityLoops also comes with [or came with?] DX10, which you can get to sound Megadrivey if you keep effects out of it.

    I have the most recent version. I don't actually own the player either, I just use the software.

    So there are really people who just use the thing to play music?

    It still boggles my mind how microsoft didn't just change WMP a little bit for the zune instead of making this whole brand new faggot shit app.

    S3M to midi conversion?

    you can't get modplug to run in windows on a mac yet?

    that'd be the way to do it I guess.

    It's easier to turn a s3m file into a NSF than it is into a midi. ha ha!

    the problem being that mods don't exactly work like midi files, you don't have the kind of polyphony that midis do, so a lot of trackers [like me] go a little crazy with their channels, switching what sample goes to which channel, also setting custom pitches for the samples [this is especially bad with .mod files], there are also instrument envelopes and things like that. So a direct conversion is going to sound fucking bad.

    It's tough, but if you get someone to turn it into a midi for you, you're going to get back notes that most of the time will not work.

    Here's an example I JUST made for this post. A midi conversion of aryx.s3m. It actually worked better than I thought but... hahaha oh wow.

    and here's the original in case you haven't heard it before:

    And if you open it in any sequencer, the timing is completely fucked.

    I have recently been listening to a lot of shing02. he is a japanese american MC and he's grown on me quite a lot. You may recall his work on the Samurai Champloo anime, a song called "Battlecry" produced by Nujabes.

    He has a couple songs downloadable here for free, I recommend

    luv(sic)
