is there a HES player implemented on the flash card?

No, but there is an HES to PCE rom converter. :)

A properly-made HES file is a PCE ROM.  Just pad it to whatever size flash carts need (128k?  64k?...) and it should work.

I'm pretty sure that with the tototek card they need to be renamed as .PCE files as well as be a minimum size. I know that both HES files and many PCE sound roms didn't work as-is the first time I slapped them on the card. Doesn't the conversion to a PCE rom add controls to play them as well?

More PSG and FM!  Again, all recorded by me from real hardware. 

I couldn't choose just one selection from Dragon's Curse since the themes are all so darned catchy, so here are four of them:

Dragon's Curse - TurboGrafx-16 - by ??? - Oceanside Theme

Dragon's Curse - TurboGrafx-16 - by ??? - Desert Theme

Dragon's Curse - TurboGrafx-16 - by ??? - Entrance Theme

Dragon's Curse - TurboGrafx-16 - by ??? - Forest Theme

Legendary Axe 2 - TurboGrafx-16 - by Hiro T. Suzuki - A very dark and brooding theme from level 4.

Midnight Resistance - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive - by Hitoshi Sakimoto - More great music from this game.

Streets of Rage - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive - by Yuzo Koshiro - Boss theme from the first Streets of Rage.

Vapor Trail - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive - by Hiroaki "MARO" Yoshid & Tatsuya "KIWCH" Kiuchi - The rockin' main tune.

That's it for now.

Ditto, plus 100, 108, 123.

Oh, they're all great.




Midnight Resistance - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive - by Hitoshi Sakimoto - More great music from this game.


Streets of Rage - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive - by Yuzo Koshiro - Boss theme from the first Streets of Rage.

Vapor Trail - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive - by Hiroaki "MARO" Yoshid & Tatsuya "KIWCH" Kiuchi - The rockin' main tune.


I won't comment on TG-16 tunes (I dig 'em all), so I'll focus on the others:
Vapor Trail has a really nice quality to it--everything works. It outshines the track from Midnight Resistance (which is still nice!). Of course, the earlier track you posted (MR's Odd-numbered level music) is SO GODDAMNED WONDERFUL that I'm willing to forgive the relative weakness of the theme from the even-numbered levels.


Of course, you can never err with Streets of Rage. I still remember how amazing it was back in the day... and it hasn't lost any of its charm. It's a damn shame there weren't more soundtracks of this caliber on any console. It really blurs the lines between VGM and "real music".
