It's Spencer Nielsen yay!

EDIT 11/05: Previous rip here was missing a couple tracks, this one is now complete (320kbps upconverted from 192kbps, YouTube rip)

MP3 (https://www.mediafire.com/file/yesk9i8q3qnzp78/Shinobi_X.zip/file)

Yeah, I hear the FM synth inside the file. Maybe I will to import the OST using SSF emulator. It is already updated. Wish me luck.

No rush, thanks for taking a look. it's kinda surprising that this soundtrack has been left ripped so poorly/inaccurately for so long... this is one of Spencer Nielsen's first game soundtracks. Good luck!!

Where's the main theme, literally the best part of the OST

Not here, partly why blood_falcon is looking into a newer rip.

Thanks for Info, would be appreciated if we could dig out the main theme which imo is the best track.

There's a more complete copy HERE (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUDqa6qgNinzba2puthPNWk0-NV7ayKjl) on YouTube. All the videos are in HD so if you wanted to rip them the quality would be fairly acceptable :)

So guys, I did take a look at the OST in youtube and I am ripping the MP3 from them.

However, I am doing an extensive editing, dithering, remastering on the MP3 just like brother Vertiphon used to do on his Sin and Punishment N64 soundtrack. I am unable to do a lineout rip as I lack equipment for it and Yabause and SSF emulators are not doing a very good job in extracting audio that has Saturn Custom Sound Processor (Yamaha YMF292).

This is my edited OST for Shinobi X Sega Saturn, hope it sounds good on your ears, as it is already pleasing to my ears. It contains the missing themes from the rip from FTP such as Title menu and Staff Roll.

NB: If it is still not pleasing, tell me and I will do a bit editing again.

Hey it sounds great, thank you! I've also hosted my own copy of the YouTube rip we've been talking about in place of the original file. The original videos are 192kbps (unfortunately upconverted to 320kbps through ddownr) so it's far from perfect but there you go. This thread should be enough for any Shinobi X fan :)
