MegaMan 3: Blue Lightning

[KougarLOB]

I sent a private message to Disco Dan about a song he submitted back in 'ought-one ('2001' for those of you in RioLinda, CA). I have not gotten a response so I pose this request to the community.

The MegaMan 3 mix "Blue Lightning" is a 8minute 41 second song that was downgraded to 96kbps in order to fit on the website. Since I'm sure OCRemix's servers have been upgraded dramatically since then I was wondering if it would be possible to post the original or at least higher-bit rate version of that mix. (That is assuming DJ Pretzel or someone else still has access to that original file.)

Again, I've already sent a private message to the 'remixer' that after several weeks hasn't even been read. Last.fm lists the song but has no working link to it.

I'm sure someone has a copy, so hopefully they'll turn up.

But as far as us hosting a higher bitrate version directly on OCR, no. We generally keep to our 6MB limit nowadays.

I'm pretty sure that you're not going to get a reply from DiscoDan telling you that he'll get right on it and upload it just so you can have it.

The mix has been posted and it fits within OCR's standards, there is no more that needs to be said about it; I'm doubly sure that he has better things to do with his time than revisit a six year old remix and 'upgrade' it to its original bitrate.

[Liontamer]

That rather beside the point. Regardless of whether or not OCR would post a high bitrate version, there IS a higher bitrate version out there that Disco Dan released as part of his MM3 series.

Does anyone have it and can they host it? Looking in the direction of Herograw and SgtRama.

If it was released on vgmix there are a couple people who have just about every megaman and vgmix song released from there.

Hopefully you will find it there.

I think I have the version you want on a CD, only difference is that this version has length 8:43

I'll upload that one to my site:

And I don't think it's ever released on Vgmix.

Thanks, Bundeslang and apologies to all about not replying to my own thread sooner.

I was sifting through the 1500+ songs from OCR's two mega-torrents one lonely Saturday afternoon and when I heard 'BlueLightning' I was totally surprised by it.

When I messaged Disco Dan I didn't expect him to revise anything. Honestly I didn't expect anything. I was thinking that maybe back in the day he may have been disappointed that his work couldn't be "displayed" (posted, shared) at the full intended quality. I know as an editorial cartoonist for a local paper I'm flattered when someone calls/e-mails me for copies of old cartoons I've made.

My experience with making mixes was short lived. Some of the short clips I made sounded pretty good but the cheap software I had limited me to the point of frustration and I lost interest. Being 12 years old at the time didn't help things much either.

I did not know OCR's file-size limit and wouldn't have asked about revising the current post if I had known.
