Since I've been trying to encode the music from every Castlevania game, I'd thought I'd make a thread about it...
Listing and Progress:
NES:
Castlevania 1 - timed and titled from nsf
Castlevania 2 - timed and titled from nsf
(FDS) Castlevania 2 - timed and titled from nsf
Castlevania 3 - timed and titled from nsf (re-encode needed)
(Famicom) Castlevania 3 - manual rip from the sound test, added fadeouts, titled
Wai Wai World 2 - timed and titled from nsf (has 3 remixed tracks from CV 1 & 2)
Arcade
Haunted Castle (just found out about this one o_o; )
MSX2:
Vampire Killer - never heard of this till a few days ago (and quite hard to find a 'copy' of it)
PC Engine:
Rondo of Blood - downloading an ISO for it...
SNES:
Super Castlevania 4 - timed and titled from spc archives
Dracula X - straight encode from rsn archive
Game Boy: (to be done...)
Castlevania: The Adventure
Castlevania 2
Castlevania Legends
GBA: (need to re-encode, volume too soft)
Aria of Sorrow
Circle of the Moon
Harmony of Dissonance
Genesis:
Bloodlines - manual rip from the New Generation beta soundtest, titled (also have a gym encode...)
PSX (to be done...)
Symphony of the Night
Castlevania Chronicles (never heard of this one till the other day too...)

Lament of Innosence
Curse of Darkness (also for XBOX)
DS: (to be done)
Dawn of Sorrow
Potrait of Ruin
====(some comments on select games)====
Castlevania 1 - Really haven't played that much of it, but I <3 the music
Castlevania 2 - Same as 1, but the FDS and the NES music are great in their own equal rights
Castlevania 3 - Played through the translated rom, fun as hell, too bad the extra sound chip wasn't included for the American release =/
Castlevania 4 - This game is a f'ing masterpiece, in both gameplay and in music
Dracula X - Played through, music is pretty good
Vampire Killer(MSX2) - trying to find this is quite a challenge
GBA series - AoS has the best music of the 3, followed by CotM and HoD (and yes, I like HoD's music)
Bloodlines/New Generation - Beat it, the music is pure awsomeness, the gym rip data is missing information, making the music 'incomplete'; I'd use the vgm rip, but that clips too horribly
====(and here's a few emulation-related questions/comments)====
I'm currently looking for a good MSX/MSX2 emulator, what are the reccommendations? (with the possiblity of sound logging)
What are some good Game Boy emulators that does a decent job in sound logging?
Is there any PSX and N64 emulator that can log sound? (as I can't rip psfs/usf worth crap =/ )
What is the best Saturn emulator out there? (yes, I know they're all crap...)
How's PS2 emulation as a whole coming along?
(and) has sound files been sucessfully ripped from DS games?
======
Along with that collection that I have encoded so far, I've been working on including midi remixes and oc remixes of Castlevania themes (heck, I still have MottZilla's CV theme remix from an old ZC quest of his...) Simply said, I <3 Castlevania music. |
