Hey esteban (and any other loonies who like game music as much as me).

I used Mednafen and the two player mode to make a rip of the chiptunes from Battle Heat. I didn't get the menu and title screen stuff, but the menu is pretty unremarkable and the title screen cuts out early.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32377930/Battle%20Heat%20Music.rar

I recommend tracks 1, 2 and 6. 3 and 10 are OK.

Hell yes! :)

Thank you. I'll update the music page and make all of these PC-FX soundtracks available...at some point in near future.

QUESTION: There are no official track names, are there? I know it is unlikely, but just curious if any info exists for PC-FX soundtrack (composers?).

The music is the most important, of course.

:)

If there's a longplay out there, I suppose I could look at the credits.

I'm actually not sure which theme corresponds to which player, because you get different music depending on who is fighting who, and who is player 1 and who is player 2. I'm pretty sure for most of them, but not quite all of them.

I've been listening to all the tracks throughout the day :)

Very nice. Thanks again.

I found the old Farland Story FX ADPCM music dumper I made while digging around in an old hard drive.  Now I remember why I didn't ever upload it, the music is really meh....but if you still want to listen:

PS: 10 and 11 are lies and do not exist, death to the binary-clad ones, long live 12.

I can't wait to hear this. :)

Thank you for salvaging it.

Even one song that is semi-decent will make it worthwhile, as far as I am concerned.

I'm curious WTF .opus is and why of all things you chose that. A zip archive would have been nice as well but looking at the .opus choice it likely would have been some odd compression format like .zoo instead or maybe .cpio. :)

https://www.opus-codec.org/

Opus is an open audio codec standardized around 2012.  It has higher quality at lower bitrates than alternatives, and it actually has a realistic chance of eventually being supported natively in Microsoft's web browsers, which is sadly more than I can say for Vorbis...

Well actually I prefer .aif since I can play that. Well I can play .opus as well but I can't convert it to anything. Well I can convert it but I have to do it in real time by recording an AIF as it plays.

I'd kill to have all the Blue Breaker chiptunes. As far as I know the game doesn't have a soundtest. Is there any conceivable way to extract those?

I like playing the chiptunes on my TurboGrafx-16 where they belong. Listened to all of Team Innocent like this.

You played the HES files on your TG16?
