This took a bit longer than I expected, but here's the soundtrack to The Minish Cap, without any of the Gameboy Advance static. This isn't the result of editing recorded music files or putting them through plugins; each song has been recreated on a PC using files from the game. It was quite tricky. A huge thank you to Bregalad for his tools.

The album has been tagged mostly according to the GSF rip floating around the internet.

I hope you enjoy it. Thank you! :)

Very nice! Took a look at the comparison video. You did well! I'll be getting this. Thanks very much! :)

This is absolutely brilliant and deserves a lot of praise. Well, well, WELL DONE.

Oh wow, this is remarkably well done~ Cheers mate, thanks so much for the effort put into this!

Thanks very much !!!

Excelent! Really good work.
I wish there were more remasters like this for other GBA games like Mario & Luigi or the Castlevanias.

Thanks a lot!

This is fantastic! The soundtrack really deserves it!! Thank you so much

thank you please have my babies

This is amazing. I had the one with static, and is it a night and day difference.
My only problem with it is that the tracks don't fade out at the end. They just...end. It's very jarring. I think there is software that would allow me to do that, but I'm not good with music software.

Thank you very much for your work nonetheless!

Thank you for the kind words, everyone. :)

Yeah, it's quite a bother! It's mostly because of the method used. There are no loop points to work from at all.

Fortunately, I managed to manually fix most of the tracks and I'll be uploading the updated version really soon on MP3. I'll upload the FLAC update in a couple of hours, as I really need to get some sleep. :P

Edit: Okay, all done. If there's any problems let me know. :)

I find the remastered very cool and so I downloaded :)

How? How can PC undo static? How can this device recreate the tracks?

Thank you!

... Gawsh !!! you're a God ! thanks you soo much !! I love Minish Cap and all the songs with it !

Thank you very very much! The quality is awesome now! If only this could be done with every GBA game... :(

Just how exactly did you do this? I'm interested in some specific GBA songs and I'd like to do the same you did. :)

wow... quality AWESOME!!

Gonna have to second this, would be great to have this done to other GBA games like Donkey Kong Country 3, since the songs there are exclusive only to the gameboy advance version :P

Thank you for the upload.

The basic answer to "how it was done" is:

MIDIs ripped from the ROM
High quality samples ripped from the ROM, made into a soundfont

MIDIs played in said soundfont
Other examples of how this sounds for other games:
Desert - New Super Mario Bros. Music Extended - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_pguaNsCyg) (using MIDIs and soundfonts)
New Super Mario Bros - Walking The Hot Desert Music M�sica - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdUD93ouUV0) (from the bad quality rip that probably originated on the original SilvaGunner's channel years ago)

Cheese Land - Mario Kart: Super Circuit Music Extended - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBuw82PQWGA) (from MIDIs and soundfonts)
Mario Kart: Super Circuit Music - Cheese Land - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-UW8-PVFFc) (from the GSF rip)

Thanks. But could you please explain with more detail how to get the high quality samples and make the soundfont, and then play the MIDIs in that soundfont? :)

Unbelievable! Great work!

Thank you very much for this!

this is amazing. thank you so, so much for your work!

I wish there would be more awesome rips like this one for other great game series, like Golden Sun or Mario & Luigi ;)

Amazing, thank you very much. Do you think you could do the same for the GBA Castlevania games? I tried with Aria of Sorrow, but lack the knowledge and time to do so.

what remove sfx

This is amazing. Thanks!

I could listen to Temple of Droplets for hours. One of my favourite Zelda tunes.

Great Job on this

You forgot a track, the unused fanfare of the Dark Hyrule Castle theme.

Been listening to this one the past few days. You did a great job. Thanks!

Wow, this is truly amazing work!

(http://imgur.com/2iilgOK)

Nice! This should definitely be done with Castlevania's and Metroid's as well http://www.ocdforums.org/public/style_emoticons/default/faint.gif

Please give MOTHER 3 the same treatment and I will love you forever. (bonus points for titles that use the fan-made localization song titles)

Already been done. Google "mother 3 ultimate music rip"

Thank you for posting! ^_^

thank you

Thank you so much for your hard work on this. It is spectacular rip. Just perfection. Thank you once again.

If it were only possible for a few other games, I'll be glad. If I had to pick one track to do this it would be... hmn... only one that comes to mind is from Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2004 5th tiers. LOVE THAT Track... I probably do have more but it's the only one I can think of since I just heard this not too long ago.

Nice remasters! So, what's your next project? :)

Thank you for this, it's awesome!

This is great

many greatful thanks Kendaichi!!!

very nice，thank you!

This is incredible! Thanks for this!

Thank you man.

Awesome !! Thank man. :D

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. This game is super nostalgic for me, so stumbling across this was amazing. Thanks so much!

Is this how game companies (i.e. Game Freak) make official soundtracks for games? Like the Ruby/Sapphire and the DS Pokemon games? I've always thought the B2/W2 OST didn't sound like something the DS could do...

thanks, I was only the version gba lol

Thanks :)

Saw the comparison video and I was amazed. Anyone who likes Minish Cap's music needs to get this, the quality is amazing.

This is awesome.

Wow! It sounds amazing! Great job, Kendaichi.

Merci beaucoup!!

Great job !

Thanks for all your hard work!

Thank you!

I've been a fan of game music since forever and somehow I'd never explored this site. I am in awe. Thank you!

thanks.

Thanks!

this is really impressive, well done! Would you consider doing other games this way?

Most of these songs sound brilliant, but all the boss music is sadly almost unlistenable because the mono 8-bit percussion is far too loud and dominates the sound. It's probably way too late to ask for a remastering with the percussion toned down, but you never know.

Thanks for the time and effort, its awesome.

I don't notice this what are you using to listen to it, seems maybe a little louder but not unlistenable by any means.

What an amazing soundtrack! Thank you so much for all your effort and hard work. Greatly appreciated.

WONDERFUL, THANKS :)

This is really excellent work man. Please consider doing this for the other fuzzy Zelda handheld OSTs! Blown away by the clarity!

With GBA that's sadly it, GSF is most accurate but the output is limited by the GBA hardware, while SF2+MIDI sounds better but is prone to inaccuracies. If possible, it's usually worth it though.

This is great! Thanks

Thanks! Grabbed the mp3 one, FLAC version seems to be down.

Thanks!!!!!!
