new value: GAME: Castlevania II - Simon's Quest SYSTEM: Nintendo NES YEAR: 1988 COMPOSERS(S): Kenichi Matsubara SOURCE: Modded front-loading NES / dual-channel audio recorded directly from 2A03 chip AUDIO CAPTURE HARDWARE: Amplified by FiiO E6, captured by Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro AUDIO CAPTURE SOFTWARE: Audacity 2.0.3 TRACKS: 9 TOTAL TIME: 8:15 FORMAT: --FLAC: Original dual-channel output from 2A03, full stereo separation, recorded at 24-bit/96kHz --MP3 Stereo Mix: Custom mix with 55% channel crossover, LAME-encoded at maximum quality settings --MP3 Mono: Full mono mix, LAME-encoded at maximum quality settings DATE OF RIP: June 27-28, 2013 Update 8-8: Re-ripped entire game from scratch and replaced the archive. See my notes on the Metroid page. [Notes on Metroid page: "Update 8-15: Replaced archive (again). A few of my NES rips were created by using NSFImport to export NSF tracks as ROM files, then play them back on a console using an Everdrive N8. Still a hardware rip, and usually accurate, but after a heads-up from Yishai I did some research and learned that NSFImport filters the NSF data through the FamiTracker code, potentially introducing inaccuracies in the final output. This was fully evident with a glitchy note in the Kraid's Lair track of the Metroid rip. Metroid has been re-ripped from scratch and fully in-game, so it should now be perfect. I'll be re-ripping and updating any affected game sets."]
