Most of this music has been ripped from other games. Interesting how he was able to port so much other music into a specific replayer from Game Boy and NES.

Since it's been ripped from other games I don't see the point in ripping an NSF of it.

A few interesting things to note... I'm wondering why this doesn't work in Nintendulator at all but supposedly works on hardware. Also when you pause the game the buster selection moves on its own time to time. Related to DPCM glitch? I thought the glitch wasn't emulated.

Piston Honda's entrance theme "Sakura" in Punch-Out!! (NES) was reused in DDR Extreme (PS2). Don Flamenco's (from Bizet's "Carmen") was reused in Tetris (NES). Soda Popinski's ("Ey ukhnem") was reused in Pipe Dream (NES). The dance cut scene music "Trepak" from Tetris (GB) was reused in Home Alone (Super NES).

That just makes them cover versions, just as one might port music to the NT2 or MCK or FamiTracker replayer.

Is there also no point in having cover NSFs in Famicompo and the like? Is there no point in ripping the NSF of Super Mario Bros. 2 (J), the SPC of Super Mario All-Stars, or the GBS of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe because the NSF of Super Mario Bros. exists?

If it's Right presses, or if holding Down produces occasional Up presses, it's likely the DPCM glitch. I'm under the impression that the glitch was emulated as soon as it was understood.

At least Nestopia emulates this glitch.

Well, that's it then. I used Nestopia. So his game has the DPCM glitch.

It does? That's a surprise, considering Nestopia hasn't been updated in a while...

Technically, the NES has the DPCM glitch, the game has a bug caused by not dealing properly with the glitch. =)

Guys, the author made a DPCM/controller fix for the MMC5 version of the game if you are interested, this is from his page:
I fixed the glitch tentatively, but I don't know that this fixing is correct or not. The ips is here!

I reuploaded his patch here: http://www.mediafire.com/?dm9m3kubqxokpnt

Now it's working correctly in Nestopia and on real hardware.
