Norrin Radd in: Thunder Force VII

I will need to listen to this soon.  From what I'm hearing I will enjoy it way too much.

edit: to answer the topic's original question, the blank canvas is my least favorite part about producing chipmusic, or any music really... but it's most daunting with chipmusic.  What you're putting down when you first start making a song sounds NOTHING like the final product because you have to change timbres and instruments and volumes and make everything sound nice, while in other production environments you will get a sound that's at least somewhat close to the final one.

The real question is should this be in the "handhelds" section?  Nintendo, stop defying categorization!

I heard the music in the NES games I had and always wanted to make my own.  I found virt in 2000 or 2001 and tried using Paragon5 tracker, but didn't really get anywhere.  Nullsleep made a basic guide to how to use MCK and that got me started making music.  My first cover was of an Infected Mushroom song in 2003.  Then I joined 2a03.org and vgmix and the rest is history.

I want to see one of these expensive NES models with progressive scan HDMI output + an NTSC filter. I don't care how you implement that, but it would be incredibly nice to be able to play it on an HDTV AND get a similar experience to how it was meant to look instead of seeing huge pixels.  Basically I'd want hardware that reproduces the same look as Blargg's NTSC filter on an emulator.

The progressive HDMI output would be necessary because many HDTVs don't process the 240p signal well from composite.

- All non-text areas become active when moused over.

Wow this isn't nearly as big of a necrobump as I expected.  Updated to version 1.3.  Too many new features since 1.02 to count tongue

Hello, after 3 months of work I've written the successor to the Mega Man 3 cover playthrough I made last year - this time it's a cover of Mega Man 1.  You can find the youtube link here and the bandcamp link for download here.

After 9 months of work (random laziness / sidetracking!) I've finally released the Mega Man 3 cover playthrough.  You can see it here:

This is a video of me playing through Mega Man 3 with all the music remixed using the VRC6 expansion in stereo.  Headphones are recommended as the stereo was programmed with headphones in mind.  Enjoy!

I also released this on Bandcamp (linked in youtube description as well): http://rushjet1.bandcamp.com/album/mega-man-3-remade
