I'd love to hear a Zelda cover album. I'm sure there wouldn't be an issue. Nintendo only cares about copyright when you're trying to make a sequel to Chrono Trigger.

..

That is correct, I just took a moment to reeducate myself.

It still strikes me funny to think about how that all turned out, and remember what I was up to at the time.

I'm talking about the hundreds of people selling Nintendo related plushes, posters, paintings, etc. around the world

AFAIK he only owns the image - I don't think he was the one that created the meme and/or put the song on top

There is a part of me thinking Torres is a douche canoe for appropriating a song that wasn't his, even if he did send it to worldwide fame, but we can't have other people making money off of a pop tart cat, can we?

Would there actually an an interest in Zelda carts though? I mean I now have 25 nrom carts ready and waiting for a project. I will make it if theres interest. I have 7 songs finished in the nsf format and about 5 more inside ableton waiting me to transcribe into mml. It will depend on how many I can make memory efficient enough to all fit inside the 32k allotted.

My current nsf track list is:

Midna's Lament
Song of Storms
Market
Deku Tree
Dragon Roost Island (in the works)
Great Fairy Fountain
Lost Woods
Kikori Forest

And my tracks pending trancribing are:
Kaepora Gaebora's Theme
Oath to Order
Tal-Tal Hights
Minish Village
Majora's Mask Title Theme

Wasn't some zelda dubstep remix comp one of bandcamp's top selling releases?

Selling covers is risky unless you're like a bar band. I doubt Nintendo would bat an eye, but who knows.

The Zelda stuff is up in the air. Literally hundreds of people make lots of money, hell even a living, by profitting off of selling video game appropriations at conventions and online. It's a legal concern that takes a far smarter person than me to understand

Thank you. It was the right thing to do.

Yes. That's my plan. I actually had a Zelda compilation in mind after the nyan cart, but I'd likely get the same reaction right? (I actually have several nsf covers of n64 zelda songs done.)

At least I was wise enough to leave all my NROM board unassembled, so I can utilize the remainder for a future project.

So I will continue on my cart EP. Should have enough memory for about 4 or 5 tunes. I could possibly get something like 7-8 if I refrain from using the noise channel to make my drums all Hi-Fi sounding, as I did in my nyan.nsf

It's a shame that it didn't work out after that work but I really really respect you for doing the right thing by hitting up the maker and I'm sure they really appreciate it too. Please make some carts in the future though, why not with some of your own tunes!

Cool! I didn't know he had a CD! I definitely want one.

And thank you chunter, for the consideration.

That's too bad, because I was considering asking Daniwell if he was okay with using the song in your behalf. (Or just telling him about it to see what he has to say.)

In principle, he seems to be okay with stuff like this but he probably wishes he'd have sold more copies of his CD. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005BUPTPU/

Had a chat with Chris Torres. He said despite his thoughts about my project he can't allow his graphic to be used for commercial purposes by anyone. I respectfully obliged and removed the ability to purchase one.

Just going to upload the nsf here for all who still like a bit of nyan in their ears.

Currently writing an email to Christopher Torres' Facebook. He lives in Dallas too so maybe we can talk about it over coffee or somthin'.
