Quote from: Tom

I was gonna add display to it, but there wasn't much interest in running the HES files on real hardware


WHAT????  I could think of nothing cooler.  I don't care how rudimentary the GUI is, just give me the name of the HES file ("Jackie Chan" or whatnot) and the number of the sound and I'd be happy.  Maybe a "Load HES" or whatever option would be good, too.  I'd want a CD with every card game on there.  So many games don't have sound tests that desperately need them.

HOLY CR*P! I totally missed this discussion a few days ago.

Tom, please put 1,000 of my votes in the "want to play tunes on real hardware."

And, like Joe, I don't care how archaic the GUI is, I just would love to listen to the console pumping out music.

:)

Esteban: It'll have to be released in "volumes" or music disk. A few songs at a time. I mean, for CD. Because each hucard ripped has to be hacked for CD addressing space (CD HES rips are easier to do). I was hoping I could find some help (maybe some of the well known HES rippers/hackers). It's a tedious process (making these classic/retro music disks). If these were just turned back into regular roms, then it wouldn't be a problem (you'd need a flash card to play them still).

I like "Dragon spirit", check this video which including the 1st stage BGM from NES, PCE, and AC versions. I think PCE version is awesome! Especially for the high, crystal clear tone. :D

Make more comparisons like this :)

Whilst I love the arcade version of Dragon Spirit, I feel that the PCE tunes are the sweetest: the PCE, with the subdued drums, places emphasis on the wonderfully warm, smooth, layered "synths"--a very "full" sound. Cozy. Comforting. I love it.

The arcade, while featuring a nice arrangement, has a significantly less lush sound and the overall mood is somewhat cold... the arcade is not as endearing as the PCE version.

Or in other words:
PCE = HubbaBubba
Arcade = Bazooka (flavored!)
FC = DubbleBubble
