Sega Genesis sound style, in SNES tracks

[IceManual]

Evenin' folks.

A while ago I found YM2612 (Gensis Soundchip) mixes of snes tracks by a fellow named Gecko Yamori on youtube and they sounded rad as hell so I thought I would take a shot at it, tell me whatcha think:



I did some kirby,

Has anyone else ever experimented with this or listened to this type of stuff? I think its ill

i always felt that the genesis was more focused on a "bass" like sound than the snes.

if i rememebr correctly, gors did it the other way around, porting Genesis tracks to the NES.

What program are you using to make these? It sounds like you're just taking a genesis soundfont and making stuff with it?


This version of Cocoa Cave was made with an actual YM2612 tracker so it sounds as it would coming out of a Genesis.

Not to say that your stuff isn't good, but it would sound much better if you were using a legit YM2612 rather than just a ripped soundfont. But that's just me, I guess.

If you're interested, VGM Music Maker is the program you want to use.

I actually only used Genesis soundfont percussion, everything else was VOPM.
