It's looking and playing great so far. I'm just wondering, is anybody going to take on the music as well? I mean, no remake would be complete without a remake of the soundtrack as well.

I guess they had to come up with a remakes newstopic sooner or later since these type of software become more and more common.

question remains whether music-remakes deserve a dedicated icon as well ^_^

About the music...

The original soundtrack was much probably meant to sound like a piano. So I logged the soundtrack as a MIDI and then asked a friend to change all samples to piano. After that I converted the MIDI to MP3. Stupid, I know, but I do not know anything about music.

Anyway, it sounds just like the original, don't you think so?

Well, almost. Though it doesn't take a keen ear to detect that plenty of notes are missing from the "ripped" version. I think something went wrong in the logging-to-MIDI process.

Yes... You're right... fMSX logged it into a MIDI. But it not always does it right. Come on, guys, both MIDIs are in the "sounds" folder of the game. Can't anyone fix these broken notes?

I think reworking the soundtrack would be nicer

Probably... The only thing I ask is:

"Make it just like the original in its tempo and in its song. Try to imagine how the author would intend it to sound like in modern computers".

Unfortunately, I can't help on that...
