Listen to some strange-sounding SPC rips.

A few weeks ago I’ve tried making a go at ripping music from Satellaview ROM SPCs looking for some songs that aren’t going around in common sets.

I’m still mastering the ripping art at the moment. You can see some of my results here.

For you guys who don’t have SPC Players but want to take a listen to some of the rips, I’ve Chun-Yu’d them to MP3 form for your listening torture – er, pleasure.

BS SUTTE HAKKUN – STORY INTRO

BDASH


BUSTERS – DIGITAL MAGAZINE

DO-RE-MI NO. 2

A few notes to the other SPC rippers out there – these are my first real attempts at ripping these, so I’m sorry if there’s any grave errors.
for the ones in which I just have the name of the ROM.spc, those songs are the only songs I could access. Most of the song names for ROMs with more than one song were made up based on some text that was on the page along with the music.

(EDIT: I’ve had a problem with these MP3s sounding weird on the embed, but not on Winamp. Therefore I’m direct-linking the Mp3s on top of the embeds, in case other people also have this problem.)

BS Super Famicom Wars, recorded poorly by… uh, myself.

I popped BS Super Famicom Wars in SNESGT and played it a bit. From my Youtube description:

“This seems like a sort of little demo in comparison to the NP Version. Before you ask – these are the only characters, settings, and battle map I could select. There’s also a lot of missing polishes compared to the NP Version – I can’t seem to enable Battle and Fort Seizing animations for example.”

I looked into the matter further and, according to the Satellaview History Museum, there were actually 4 volumes of BS Super Famicom Wars released. They likely each had a different map. I’ll be on the lookout for more info.

BS Fire Emblem Script Translation Project.

Due to the absence of dedicated Satellaview translators I’ve decided to do the job I’ve employed myself in!

Serenesforest’s forum shall be taking a look at me trying to translate the scripts for BS Fire Emblem. If anyone wants to volunteer some work on it as well, be my guest. I’m not necessarily the most talented translator, after all.
