Ever wish that a game's soundtrack/BGM was louder?
« on: October 25, 2015, 07:34:29 AM »
(Hope it's okay to make another thread about this to talk about the PCE CD games.)

Ever wish you could hear a game's soundtrack better over the sound effects? :D

Thanks to SamIAm, games with amplified music are here! (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=19673.0)

So far, I've uploaded my modified versions of Nexzr, Spriggan, Sapphire, Rayxanber III, Lords of Thunder, Gate of Thunder, Rondo of Blood, and Blast Wind (Saturn).

I boosted the bass significantly on Nexzr and a tiny bit on Spriggan.

We won't discuss where to find them. Google is your friend. e.g. "nexzr amplified music"

If anyone can think of a game that desperately needs its BGM boosted (like Blast Wind, Rayxanber III, etc.), let me know. ;)

Louder BGM on certain games would be cool.

Yeah it does.

Well now I've just uploaded my version so let me know how it is!  :)

Okay people, let's keep an open mind here...  :D

I just uploaded Lords of Thunder for the PCE CD with the Sega CD soundtrack.  8-[

I'm not saying that it's better, so lets not argue about that--because now we can have both soundtracks! Replay value FTW.  :lol:

Also just uploaded Darius 2 for Sega Saturn with the (yes I'll say it this time) SUPERIOR PC Engine CD soundtrack!  :D

I gotta try the Lords of Thunder one. The sound effects have always made me review it a notch lower than most folks, especially since the collecting aspect means that that ding is always going off.

I did this years ago with Sylphia. That sound track was just way too quiet.

Sylphia, that's the exact reason I came into this thread, but Tom beat me to the punch!

I think the track order is different in the Sega CD version of Lords of Thunder. You might want to check on that.

Nice. Yeah, that's a quiet one. I'll have to do that and try that game out again. I didn't really get into it. I'll do it tomorrow.

By the way, I love NES2PCE Mega Man (2), Mega Man CD, Gate of Thunder Force, etc. Do you have any plans for something next? Also, since you're a Mega Man fan, you might be interested in a mod for X3 that lets you play as Zero throughout the entire game. It's called Mega Man X3 Zero Project and it works great. One more thing--did you know that Mega Man Anniversary Collection on PS2 has remixed soundtracks for MM 1-3? Maybe you could use those soundtracks if you ever do Mega Man 2/3 CD. The drums and bass are heavier rock/metal than the electronic sound of Powered Up.  :D

That's understandable. If it still bothers you, check out the one with the Sega CD OST too. That one seemed to come out louder. You can't hear the ding at all during a loud part of a song.

You're right. I did have to change the track numbers.  :)

All this talk about LOT track orders reminds about the dual boot SegaCD/PC-Engine LOT disc. I thought Black Tiger had a video of it, but I can't seem to find it. I have it uploaded somewhere.. here: http://www.pcedev.net/Lords_of_Thunder_dual_boot/ . It has to be burned to a CD-R to work (it won't load in emulators correctly without mounting it.. I think).

 Some of the SegaCD sound FX were a bit annoying in LOT.

Sega had my youtube channel deleted to promote another shitty Shining bastardization. The external hard drive that most of my videos were stored on died. Among the many videos on my to-do list, will be shooting a new 1080p LoT bicompatible video.
