Here you are, Capcom's amazing and expensive 450+ track Rockman OST set! Get it here first before 25 people upload it all to YouTube!

Feel free to upload this to other file hosting sites, because I have no idea how good SendSpace is and how long they'll stay up. A couple folders contain unicode characters so I could flub not using question marks in names; let me know if this is a problem. Also includes booklet and CD scans.

These files are encoded with LAME VBR V0. If you ask me for a lossless rip I will Atomic Fire your nutsack.

Hope you enjoy, and please share! Just don't alter the ID3 tags, please.

Love, TMMN

Amazing! Great work, hope Capcom has done something good, thank you very much!

Are the files in .mp3 or .wav?

Sorry, forgot the question....i read "easy wav" hehehehe n__nU

Thank you!!!

Thanks for the upload.

Disc 4,6,8 have corrupted files which made my 7-Zip file manager not allow me to grab them.

i got the others fine.

Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Thanks for the Big Collection of Mega Man Games!!!!!

Oh my gosh, thanks. Been waiting for this gem.

Disc 4,6,8 have corrupted files which made my 7-Zip file manager not allow me to grab them.

Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!


Is anyone else having this problem? I'm hanging out in Kyoto today so I will have to get to it later if it's a problem.

Not at all, Winrar didn't notice anything.

Checking the music... Hmmph. Capcom can't take a friggin' clue. The NES titles still are on mono, and I'd dare to say sound worse than the 1~6 compilation, but maybe it's just me. When you've listened to the PlayTheNES NSF stereo mixes, you just can't go back. At least they included the Navi mode mixes this time. Oh well. The rest is amazing. For those who doesn't have any classic Megaman compilation, this is pretty recommended. My comments haven't anything to do with the uploader, so no disrespect.

Thanks a lot, man!

The only problem with sendspace is that the download speeds have been slow on that server.

Redownload them or use Winrar. Mine extracted just fine. Thanks so much for this upload. I love the MM9 soundtrack, but will gladly listen to the rest.

I'm uploading them to MegaShares now. I'll have the links posted tomorrow as long as there's no problem.

It's just you, Deaf Man ;). These don't sound NEAR as muffled and noisey as the previous 1~6 CDs. It sounds clearer and brighter to me.

I'm happy with it. So far.



Just don't alter the ID3 tags, please.


I understand lumping it all under the same Album and having that extra junk in the Title because of that, but I can't stand having "Capcom Co., Ltd." as the Artist for the entire thing, with no mention of the actual original composer/sound programmer anywhere in the tags. 'Tain't right. 'Tain't right at all.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. Hopefully some brave soul will rip and upload lossless copies soon. :)

I bought the thing, but I don't want to actually open it. So thanks for the upload!

Added the Megashares links. Find them in the top post.

Is it just me or Capcom messed up with recordings of Famicom MM2 tunes?

Anyway, thank you very much for this cool release.

I just listened to them, and yeah, a lot of the MM2 tracks do sound a little weird. I wonder if it's just some of the original quirks coming through clearer than before. You know, maybe the various nsf rips (and mp3 transcodes made from them) of MM2 floating around are buggy. Not to mention that emulators all sound a little different. I know I haven't sampled the music from the original system and cart and listened closely, have you? I haven't noticed any other such anomalies with the rest of music yet, so you'd think the these guys at Capcom that put this together knew what they were doing. And you'd think they'd pay extra close attention to MM2 of all games. Whatever the case, it still sounds better to me than the 1~6 release. Accurate or not, that release is too fuzzy buzzy for me.

(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.) Can't hear anything through that crap.

Told ya! I'm not deaf! :P Hahaha. Just kidding. Yes, they do sound better than the 1~6 compilation (had to download one disc to try again, since I deleted them long ago). It's good enough, you can have the original and the mixed (just like old Beatles recordings) to compare and to each it's own, I guess. But in MM2, there's an odd vibe. I can't put my finger on it, but something sounds weird. Odd to find that, and if it means all the NSF rips are wrong... well, it's gonna get complicated.

Yeah, that's the frustrating thing sometimes about old-school console rips, the quality may SEEM better via emulators and things but they sometimes don't sound identical to the physical hardware, case-in-point: Streets of Rage 2. The hi-hats are incorrect in virtually every emulator and that Bare Knuckle soundtrack that came out a few months ago seems to have used an emulator for the game rips and is pretty crappy quality at that. I'd love to do a physical rip the damn game using my Sega Genesis but I sold the game a long time ago. lol

On-topic: This release is pretty awesome, definitely better than that Rockman 1~6 soundtrack and I really like the fact that they threw in a few never-before-on-soundtrack oddities like the PS1 navi stuff and the 3 exclusive Saturn Rockman 8 tracks. I have to agree that the tags are infuriating though. LOL I wish it had all the composers tagged and that the song titles didn't include the game AND track number in it. It just seems unnecessary.

Thanks pal appericate it

Oh come on, you know who all the composers are by now. Tagging 450 tracks isn't a fun day. :P Though really, if you guys wanna retag them for your own personal use, that's fine. When I asked not to retag them at the top, what I guess I was really driving at is don't tag and redistribute them as your own rip.

haha Tagging 450 isn't too bad, if using mp3tag and vgmdb as reference/tag source but vgmdb doesn't have the complete info on this release yet (which is honestly the annoying part, having to wait for someone to post the info or manually searching for little bits and pieces of information on each game). I totally agree on leaving the tags as-is for any other file hosting sites though, you deserve complete credit for this release no matter where it ends up!

Thaaaanks A LOT!

I haven't had a chance to download this yet, but did they fix the MM7 songs that were brutally messed up in the first original soundtrack release?

Yep, no sound effects, and I don't think there are any looping errors. And it sounds great!

Anyway, I think the MM2 weirdness is suppose to be there. I've been listening closely to the 1~4 Famicom tracks on the E Can album today, and I'm noticing a lot of things I never heard before. :D It's like I'm hearing them for the first time! Most of it's pleasing or simply different compared to what I'm used to, but for MM2 is mostly kind of ugly. There's like a halting, hollow, wavering clickiness that permeates all the tracks, some a lot more than others. You can especially hear it on Flash Man.

You can hear some of that same stuff on a couple tracks of MM1, but it's different and not quite as annoying. MM3~4 don't seem to have much of that. Again, I think it's just the way those particular sound drivers are suppose to sound coming out of the original Famicom hardware, coupled with them remastering it the way they did. I think I'll hold onto the nezplug++ emulated version of MM2 (along with this one) but I think this release has replaced the 1~7 music in my collection. I haven't done much comparing with the other stuff yet (8~10, the PSX arranges, and the Alpha Lyla remixes).

I love this thing so far.

So, Heat, what must I do for you to upload lossless rips of the album? ;) I appreciate your uploading the V0 MP3s, anyway. No way I could afford to import this thing.

Question: Is nezplug++ better than NotSoFatso?

Question: Is nezplug++ better than NotSoFatso?

Iono. People say nezplug++ is the most accurate out of the box, and that notsofatso is great for playing around with the sound. I'm listening to the MM2 nsf with the latest version of nezplug++ (0.9.4.8 + 3 + 21.20) and there is a lot more of that ugly sound than I remember. So I guess it IS accurate.

Playing it with GEP for foobar cleans up a lot of that stuff. Guess I'll make it my new emulated version.

So, do the tracks in e-can sound any different than they did in this in regards to 1~6: CPCA-1064~6 | Capcom Music Generation Famicom Music Complete Works... - VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/255)

Well, yeah. Like I said:


These don't sound NEAR as muffled and noisey as the previous 1~6 CDs. It sounds clearer and brighter to me.

And:


I've been listening closely to the 1~4 Famicom tracks on the album today, and I'm noticing a lot of things I never heard before. :D It's like I'm hearing them for the first time!

They got rid of most of that loud hiss that's on the 1~6 CDs. You can hear the music now. It sounds much, much better to me.

Ah okay. Thanks for the clarification. For some reason, I thought you were referring to some audio rip from an emulator or something. My bad.

It could be a sample rate or High pass filter that is affecting how they sound to you. (Or even how they mastered it and what programs/hardware they used. Which I can tell did make a difference with the PSX Navi mode songs. Compare the track 26 on disc one to this game-ripped version of the same song Rockman Complete Works 3 - Password Screen - Rockman Complete Works 3 - Password Screen.mp3 - Minus (http://minus.com/lWOPrwTQBRcUm))

You also have to remember, the NES output music @22khz (which judging by the difference in brightness of the old 1-6 collection vs this;and the presence of hum/hiss in the old one suggesting it was recorded from the console; was either recorded with an emulator and then further processed or from old dev hardware and then processed again, etc and so on). Most emulators offer the option to expand that up to 44/48khz and beyond.

I tend to prefer 22khz NES music, it's less piercing on the high end and tamer on the ears.


Some of the Rockman Complete works stuff on this new set sounds out of phase almost and squished dynamically

The oddness of Rockman 2 in this set sounds like it could be issues from the processing/mastering that was used, or possibly was recorded with an emulator that didn't play nice with it.
Compare This album version of Metal Man (RM2) to this recorded from VirtuaNES 48khz_16-bit @44khz_24-bit
No limiting, EQ or compression. Metal Man Virtua NES 16-bit 48khz recorded @24-Bit 44khz - Metal Man Virtua NES 16-bit 48khz recorded @24-Bit 44khz.mp3 - Minus (http://minus.com/ldjsS5SQXAIUW)


RM and RM2 seem to be the only ones that have these issues.

Other than that the 8-bit ones are fine. (RM9 is significantly brighter than RM10 for some reason. Like they recorded RM9 @44khz and RM10@22khz. Or mucked it up with EQ. It's not anything but a tiny minor issue. Interesting none the less)

Oh, Lord! Sendspace never like me!

The Rockman 2 tracks are completely wrong, I just can't imagine what was Capcom using when they recorded this, maybe a broken sound chip, a clone chip, an emulator, but not a real FC/NES.
The thing is that it sounds as if 2 sound channels were not working properly, Sample rate upsampling or downsampling wouldn't make this effect, neither any sound filter to clean up the hiss, low-pass or high-pass.
Thank goodness for the Rockman 1~6 soundtracks they released about 10 years ago, the good thing about these is the PS Versions, but why did they repeat the Capcom Logo and the gallery menu tune in every disc?
By the way, the music in the complete works discs sound a lot better than this and without the hiss present in the Rockman 1~6 soundtracks, they should have used those instead.
I wonder if they recorded them from the Gamecube Version, I've heard it has some wierd sound emulation in the first games.
The reason for which RM10 sound different than RM9 is because they master the music to be streamed from files in the Hard Drive rather than sound generation/emulation as it happens RM9. the method they used to emulate or simulate the NES sound in those games were different.

The Rockman 2 tracks are completely wrong, I just can't imagine what was Capcom using when they recorded this, maybe a broken sound chip, a clone chip, an emulator, but not a real FC/NES.
But why would MM2 be the only one messed up like this if that were the case? And HOW could they mess up MM2, of all soundtracks, on a ~$300 set? I mean, what the hell?



The thing is that it sounds as if 2 sound channels were not working properly, Sample rate upsampling or downsampling wouldn't make this effect, neither any sound filter to clean up the hiss, low-pass or high-pass.
Maybe they used a real Famicom with nsf rips, but the one for MM2 was buggy? Or maybe they were indeed using a bad emulator. Gah, I don't know how this could happen! How could they do this? Are we surer than sure that MM2 isn't suppose to sound like this?



By the way, the music in the complete works discs sound a lot better than this and without the hiss present in the Rockman 1~6 soundtracks, they should have used those instead.
You're insane! The XAs on the CW discs are pretty on par with the 1~6 CDDA release. I was comparing the MM4 on the E Can with the complete works XAs, and the E Can version is infinitely more enjoyable (to me).

Are you talking about the Anniversary Collection? Because that's just (vorbis?) streams, if I remember correctly. Even if they were accurate, they sounded pretty bad to me (like the 1~6 CDs and complete works XAs), and even the music for the SNES and PSX games are folded down into mono. :(

I wish we knew more about the process Capcom used to make this E Can. Is there any info on this?

Let me rephrase that, it sound better than this release and without the hiss of the previous release (sorry, it was past 1 AM). The previous release is the best of course, as it retains the original sound from the real machine.
After a little more careful listening, it does sound like the saturated too much the noise filter, it has happened to my in my line in rips, sometimes the noise is so heavy that you have to be careful or you'll ruin the original sound, although in my experience, I've never gotten such odd results. However, I use digital filters (Cool Edit, Goldwave, etc).

BTW I didn't know how the sound was played in the GC version, I read about the sound issues in Wikipedia.

I think I understood it right the first time. You're saying the XA streams of 1~6 on the Complete Works discs sound better than 1~6 on the E Can? And that the previous 1~6 CD release is the best sounding because it's most accurate? Right? Again, to me, that's insane (unless you are specifically talking about MM2). I guess I prefer a little alteration and cleanup if it makes it sound better. I don't care THAT much for the original intended experience, not if the original experience is muffled ugly noise. To each his own.

Except for MM2, I think the E Can has the best sounding recordings for 1~6. Of course I might change my mind later after more listening and comparing. ;)

Yes, they do sound better, the E-Can has a lot of weird sound clipping for the famicom soundtracks, the only way you can tell for sure which one sounds better is that you listen to the real thing. The 1~6 soundtracks were remastered using real hardware but not using Noise Reduction, some find it nostalgic, some find it annoying, IMO, it's the best proof they used real hardware. For the PSX XA I can't tell if they used real hardware or not (it does sound pretty close to the real thing). However, they did use a lot of filters, to eliminate the noise and to buffer some sound so it wouldn't be piercing to some.


Are you talking about the previous 1~6 CDs or the E Can?

No, I was talking about my own rips using real hardware, by that I mean an original working NES.

Capcom: dividing Rockman music fans since 19XX.

No, I was talking about my own rips using real hardware, by that I mean an original working NES.

I was asking what you were referring to when you said "sound like the saturated too much the noise filter".

Anyway, it doesn't matter. I can't believe they messed up such a high price set. Oh well, at least there's alternatives.

Very thx,I'll much so waiting for this *u*

Well, part of this soundtrack is messed up? Why am I not surprised? Capcom has been very hit or miss with their MegaMan Soundtrack releases. MM 1~6 suffered from low quality recordings, MegaMan X~X6 had the SNES titles with quite a few recording errors, annoying background noise, and even missing tracks, and the MegaMan 7 Soundtrack, well, even Team Entertainment knew how horrible that release was. Why else would they come out and apologize?

Also, the NES soundtracks SHOULD be in mono, that is how they were originally. I do not want "enhancements" in my music, I want an accurate representation of how it was supposed to sound on the NES.

EDIT: Damnit, part 2 on Sendspace has been deleted. Somebody please re-upload that part!

He doesn't have it there right now but he does add new albums every once and awhile, so I would expect to see the Rockcan there eventually.

yea i guess your right, thanks

Same here.. Looking for the lessless ver. :(

If I find it Ill post it, meanwhile u might be interested in this. Use an online translator to help you make an account they have a lot of good stuff.

Okay, so here's a question. How does MM7's quality sound here? The official release was trash, as we all know-- so did they improve it in anyway?

Other than that, thanks a lot! My internet is running terribly, so I can't download it. D: But it's awesome, none the less.

Melono, we think alike dude! I just made an account last night at that rutracker place and got that same SF 25th. Google chrome translates everything so easily. It's painless making an account there now. I wonder if its that easy with japanese sites.

THanks for the tip anyways! If I find it lossless I'll let you all know. I like this Rockcan so much better because its got a DISC for each Megaman game.. IS not like the 1-6 compilation in which games are all packed together. 1 and 2 on disc 1 etc..

Hey that's a cool coincident LOL. Rutracker is great always fast downloads and no dealing with annoying uploading sites.
