Dam

I was bored and made this in FamiTracker. First to identify all samples gets a cookie.

I can recognize something from the Wario Stadium level of Mario Kart.

SHAME NESDEV!!! It's the first level music from the greatest FPS game ever made, save Doom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7dXoNUPE74

Oh yeah, and great rendition tepples...

(By the way, does anyone know of a good .ogg file player? I always have to open up audacity.)

Edit: Wait a minute, I just realized there's more to the song, and NESDEV should again be ashamed: It's Flying Battery Zone from Sonic and Knuckles, with Lady Gaga infused into it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4ex1I4SFZs

(Edit 2: actually, listening again, I don't think they're together and that Flying Battery Zone plays first and then Bad Romance, but whatever. Very creative on that choice tepples. )

However, the last part is Wario Stadium Waluigi Pinball. (You messed me up Bregalad... ) This has to be the strangest thing I've listened to in a long time...

I use MPC-HC. It can play just about anything.

I was bored...

So, when am I going to get that cookie?

Espozo scores

Anyway, to play ogg files, you can use VLC. Or install Xiph plug-ins for Windows Media Player, though I don't know if the iTunes plug-in still works. Or you can drag them into an open Firefox window.

Is it me, or is my cookie made of gold and bronze?

It's the Golden Cookie from Cookie Clicker.

Oh, I've never actually played that "game" before. Didn't you actually make an NES port? It doesn't exactly seem like the hardest thing to ever make...

I started work on an NES port, and I got as far as making a decimal floating point library, but finishing RHDE in time for the compo was higher priority. And when I discovered that Cookie Clicker was messing up my right wrist, I dropped it.

I take it you where a serious Cookie Clicker player?

Uploading the FTM for what it's worth.

The biggest comment from the FamiTracker.org Discord server's critique channel was "do you even hat?"

shawnphase plays the drums along with chiptunes. Today he uploaded himself drumming to my "Byelomorye Dam Zone" medley to YouTube.

2:17 "Byelomorye Dam"
3:23 "Flying Battery Zone/Bad Romance"
4:15 "Waluigi Pinball"

I still use Winamp (5.56 seems to be the best version) as a general audio player due to the lack of a good alternative that does all I want. I'd listen to any suggestions of a good open source alternative that is still maintained though.

I use Winamp and also foobar2000. Both are good and can be extended to support many video-game formats. Some are only on Winamp and some only on foobar2000 though.

I also use foobar on my laptop. It's pretty good but I prefer Winamp a bit more, one reason is that foobar doesn't seem to be able to use the system midi device among other things. Another reason is because I have more Winamp plugins that I use.

I didn't expect it to take this "dam" long for SiIvaGunner to catch up with the B part of this one.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Flying Battery Zone Act 2 (Beta Mix) (2017-08-27)

That's actually pretty "dam" good. Did you both spot it independantly, or is there a conspiracy at work here?

"Flying Battery Romance" was already a meme by the time I wrote "Byelomorye Dam Zone". But most of the mash-ups I heard on YouTube at the time were of the popular recordings: the one from S&K with Lady Gaga's vocals. I tried to be original by covering them from the ground up on a console sound chip, choosing the 2A03 PSG because I know it best. It's most likely that a SiIvaGunner contributor independently arrived at the concept of mashing those two songs. The one difference to fit SG's formula is that it uses the same synth family (Yamaha OPN) with the same patches and accompaniment style as the soundtrack from an actual game, while I tried to squeeze everything into a hypothetical NES demake of GoldenEye.

After a round of critique on the FamiTracker users' Discord server, combined with more percussion experience gained during the Famicompo Pico 3 process, I greatly improved the percussion of "Byelomorye Dam Zone" and uploaded the result to forums.famitracker.com.

I like the new percussion. You're really stretching the noise channel for all it's worth. Kick still feels a bit rough, but there's not much you can do about that with no triangle.

I liked your FCP3 entries too, by the way. Didn't realize the Billy Joel one was you because of all the DPCM, but the moment I heard the opening beat to Alstroemeria's overplayed Bad Apple!! cover I knew exactly who was responsible.
