These mixes are lacking a bit of high-end detail and definition on some songs
(Such as Title, menu and item themes of Metroid prime 1 for example. In Item Themefor example, the whole song almost sounds like Melotron now without the high end detail of the choir synths;with all that detail gone it sounds flat;. Despite in the original song mix it sounds like only the melody is in reality a Melotron. ;Google if you don't know what a Melotron is).

But Great overall. Thanks!


And regards to the 17khz v 48khz person above. These are different things with the same name.

17Khz refers to where frequencies roll off in the mix(Think Low-Pass Filtering). 48Khz is one sample rate at which the Gamecube outputs audio, but the system actually does audio in 32khz and can be optionally converted to 48khz internally for output before it's converted to analog at the output stage.

They aren't the same thing.

I might play it myself since I had the last 3 days off from work lol, but then I would have to wait 3 extra days for his incredible remaster. =/

Maybe he's in an alternate time plane where it's still 2012 and a leap year.

True. Even if it doesn't get done tonight, we do have the option to play the double song of time to keep skipping ahead 12 hours to when it does. ;)

Yay, Majora's nerds unite!

Shyeah. How can you not be a nerd about it? =P I also ordered a real N64 copy too with the original box and manual finally. Don't like the Gamecube version...

?? Why? I played the gamecube version and I was hooked!

The main reason I don't like it, is because it runs really slow in some areas (especially Clocktown) and would occasionally freeze all the time especially when I would try to save the old bomb lady. So it was always risky to save at an owl statue so I would constantly have to start over. I thought it was cool to have it on the Gamecube and not sure if it's just my copy that does that but yeah... Ocarina of Time runs perfect but Majora's Mask freezes and runs really slow all the time. =/ So going with the N64 version instead. And I thought it would be cool to display the original game case on my shelf.

It slowed down a bit but worked perfectly though. The 3DS remake is on it's way!

Excited for that too. I hope they will maybe add a new mask or 2 and also have a mirrored Master Quest mode like with Ocarina of Time 3D. I could only imagine how ridiculously hard the Stone Tower Temple would be in a Master Quest mode. I'm also excited for the Wii U remake of Wind Waker. That's probably my 2nd favorite Zelda game after Majora's Mask. Yes, I like it better than Ocarina of Time. Sue me.

Wind Waker is my 3rd fave. As for more masks, nah. It's hard enough getting the ones that are already there! I would like the option for a orchestral version of the soundtrack. I would listen to the original of course but just to switch for a few minutes.

I'm assuming you know about this album (http://vgmdb.net/album/1677) already, but if you don't there it is. I would also like to see re-orchestrated versions of some songs. Since Ocarina of Time has a bunch of arranged albums, I don't see why Majora's Mask can't have another one or at least an orchestrated version of the Staff Roll music.

EDIT: There's this one (Thread 126595) too which sounds alot darker and more epic IMO than the other one if you didn't know about this one either.

thank you for explaining how you remastered the files.

Thanks for the huge work that went into this remastering process!
Just got the MP3 version. If you ever upload the FLAC version, I'll be on the download list! ^^

Hologram cart or no?


I'm also excited for the Wii U remake of Wind Waker. That's probably my 2nd favorite Zelda game after Majora's Mask. Yes, I like it better than Ocarina of Time. Sue me.

Why? Ocarina of Time is just a mediocre rehash of A Link to the Past.

It's not a bad game, but pretty much everything before it is better, in addition to a good amount of stuff that came after. Also the fact that it offers no real challenge unless you intentionally handicap yourself doesn't appeal much to me either.

tl;dr my theory is if you think OoT is best you haven't played much any Zelda

Hologram cart or no?

Non hologram.

I do agree with this. OoT is a good game, but it's just so overrated now, and I played so many times, it just got kinda old for me. I really like Majora's Mask and Wind Waker because they are so different than the other Zelda games I've played. The reason I said "sue me" is because there are so many die hard OoT fans out there that can't accept that other Zelda games are better than it.

Don't be dumping on OOT. It's still a fantastic game. It has new life in the 3DS version. It's among the best But Majora's Mask is alot better!! By the by, it's March now. WHERE IS THE REMASTER OF MM?!

Fine fine... both are good. I think Nintendo said they would make a new Zelda game first cause they don't want to release another Zelda remake after OoT 3D yet. Donkey Kong 64 is another game I would like a 3DS remake of too.

I don't want to see a DK64 rerelease, honestly. I have a sickening feeling that they will make the game too easy. And by too easy, I mean how you have to complete jump man at the end of the game before you fight KKRool

Spose. They would probably use Tiny's updated look too which I can't stand.

You are the man! These sound amazing and are one of the best tributes anyone could ever make to a game series, this is seriously competing with Twilight Symphony as my favorite album right now. I appreciate all the effort you put into this monstrous project, I mean, I am literally speechless.

Looking forward to your Majora's Mask remastering as well- any chance you might consider doing Super Mario Sunshine in the future? It was the only 3d Mario to not receive an official soundtrack.

OH MY GOD! THIS!! Would you consider remastering this Mr.Assett2?

My body is ready for the MM remaster

Mr. Asset2, where are you? It's the 6th of March! The moon has crashed into and destroyed Termina because of your failure to deliver! Majora is quite pleased.

Yeah. I hope he gives us an update soon.

Got's mah brand new, factory sealed copeh! The box got bent during shipping though damn it...

?

?

I concur. I think Majora has killed him, silencing his efforts for the definitive Termina audio experience...

His spirit could be in Ikana somewhere. *puts on Captain's Hat and asks around*

EDIT: Forgot Termina was destroyed on February 28th. :p

Well, Ikana IS a place of the dead so it's probably still around somewhere.

Nobody has heard of him... he must have evacuated. Hopefully the moon didn't destroy Texas too...

Well, I PM'ed him a while back, with a custom cover, and he replied to that recently....

That's good... would you care to show us the cover you made?

Thank you for all your work on this project! :)

Guys, I don't think this project is going to come to fruition. I went ahead and made my own rip from the original files. It's looped, and the volume is bumped up. It's in FLAC so if nothing comes of this, feel free to let me know if you want me to distribute this.

Hopefully you mean bumped up and not bumped up.

Either way, this type of projects take time, so give him that. The fruits of patience are always sweet.

OH! OH! For your next project, could you PLEASE do Golden Sun 1 & 2? That's a game I would LOVE to hear remastered, especially as there aren't any TRULY AMAZING quality rips out there?

Never mind, I'm ripping it myself in FLAC and distributing it on the site. Thanks though!

You would be able to hear EVEN BETTER quality of the tracks.... and I mean 'would', in the sense that 'you won't'.... Why 'won't' you? Because Bregalad's GBAMusRiper thingy doesn't seem to rip all the samples or something, so you get missing instruments...

But if you're wondering what the quality could sound like, here's an example from another game... showing a typical GSF rip, and then the same song as you get with GBAMusRiper:
Mario Kart: Super Circuit - Riverside Park | 01 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTTvGXRYRJo)

Riverside Park - Mario Kart: Super Circuit Music Extended - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYfMjihqWQk)

I've already ripped it with Foobar and it sounds phenomenal!

I know... but this would sound.... EVEN more phenomenal... IF it worked... but yours is probably the best you can get...

He must be really busy or it's possible another family emergency came up. This is Majora's Mask so of course he can take all the time he needs to make it sound the best it can possibly be. Super excited to hear the Stone Tower Temple and Elpmet Rewot Enots music.

Hey guys, sorry about not being on in quite a long time!
I've had some family and legal issues in the past few months. Hopefully I get time in April and get going on these projects.
Again, sorry about disappearing on you guys.

Truly unfortunate; I hope everything gets sorted out for the best.

Just take it easy. :)

Thank you for keeping us informed. I hope everything turns out OK for you, that's the priority.

Thank you share!

I am curious if in the future you may consider a re-release of this in the Ogg Vorbis format (.ogg) instead of using mp3? In a lot of ways Ogg is a better sounding format then mp3 and aac and isn't tied down by patents to Apple and the original company that created mp3. :)

At any rate though I downloaded Prime 1 and 2 and the mp3 quality is pretty darn good. Probably the best I've heard out of mp3 in awhile. I'm definetly adding some of my favorite tracks from 1 and 2 into my collection and heck i'll even give the music from 3 a chance even though I never played the 3rd game in the series. Only played Prime 1 and 2 when they were brand new releases on the Gamecube years ago.

As a suggestion to the Author of this thread i would glady put it up as torrent if you wanted.

You could, but you can't post or share torrents here. :p

From a technical POV there's no point in doing that. Converting MP3 to OGG is just making things worse considering that MP3 and OGG both take data away from the audio stream each time you encode (IE they are lossy audio formats when FLAC is loseless). To put it another way that anyone could visualize try a JPG image file and save it ten to fiften times over and over and reload it each time you will see the image get full of blocks and distortions and artifacts. From what the author said on page one



Here are the download links to the compilation project in MP3. The originals were in FLAC, but I decided that the package was way too big and there isn't much quality difference between the MP3 and the FLAC to justify a FLAC download IMO. But I may upload it just in case.


If he would have been able to upload his original FLAC files then I would have downloaded those and encoded them myself to to the OGG Vorbis format. But he did use the best mp3 encoder out there right now which is LAME v3.99 and he encoded it in a high enough bitrate that they still sound pretty good to me and I did add them to my music collection. I'm just picky more often then not because I just re-did my entire music collection from CD's ive bought since the 80's and ripped directly to the OGG file format. To me OGG vorbis files sound warmer, more natural, and don't have that underlaying hiss and sizzle that you find so often in a lot of MP3 files on the net encoded either in a low bitrate or with an ancient encoder thats like ten years old and sounds worse. Good examples of mp3 hiss/sizzle are here too

Why the mp3 format sounds bad, and how to hear it (http://productionadvice.co.uk/why-mp3-sounds-bad/)

I know all that shizzle. I was talking about converting the FLAC but I'd forgotten the links were down.

Downloaded all three just now. Not sure if it was just the time of day but I could not even get a pageload at Packupload about a month ago. But downloaded one after the other seamlessly just now. Thanks so much

Bump

Would love if somebody could hook us up with the FLAC

So, any news about the Majora's Mask remastering? Is the project alive?

People, go download this, it's awsome :)

May I be the "first" to say this is probably the best thing since sliced wheels?

please, reupload the FLAC version. even if it is in torrent form, I'll help seed it

Over 1 hour later... it looks like Agon Wastes in going to be in part 2. Here's the Title Theme. Tell me if you guys think the quality is better than you know what. :P

So... is there a FLAC version? This seems great, but i can't seem to download from package upload.

gone forever?

I second that ! Wanna hear this. It's quite unique......

I don't know where Asset2 has gone as I'm sure he would take care of it. But I'll upload it in ALAC (Apple Lossless) form. It'll be up in a bit.

do you perhaps have it remastered anywhere without soundeffects

do you perhaps have it remastered anywhere without soundeffects
No. Mr.Assett2 didn't remaster these songs, so remastered versions of these songs don't exist unfortunately (that I know of...)

sounds like it was recorded line-in

google "joshw gcn"

that page has a tagged metroid prime 2 rip, native format

the title bgm is streamed, not sequenced, and is split into two mono files for some reason

don't know how to combine them

Great thread - thanks so much!

1. I took each track, normalized it to -0.1 db.

Why did you start by removing data?

2. Ran that through a high quality de-clipper.
3. From there I ran that through a manual click and pop remover.
At what point did the originals clip? And how can't you be sure your normalization didn't cause those?

4. That to a re-sampler and high frequency synthesizer so that the high frequencies were restored to their original state
What does this accomplish that acquiring the original instruments and sequencing the music on them can't?

5. I then took that and ran it through a de-constructor and removed some of the digital distortion and details that should have never been there to begin with.
Why do this, when doing what I said above would cause the digital distortion to not be present in the first place?

6. This then was ran through a volume leveling program.
Wouldn't this go against the author's vision? Volume differences are important for mood.

7. Each track was double-checked for quality accuracy and made sure it was clean enough for mastering.
Again, using the original instruments and recording them in a studio would be easier and result in a higher quality master.

8. The output of this was then run through a complex analog mastering setup. I first decided on having a -72db dynamic range for every track. I got the hardware to a noise level of almost non-existent. (I had to borrow some hardware from a friend)
What good is converting digital to analog? If you're doing a remaster, you want to start analog and keep the process that way as long as possible.

10. I set up an analog reverb at around -40db for dynamic range and detail beyond the 16-bit original file.
11. Then through an exciter to refresh the the entire spectrum and remove the dull sound quality of the original files.
Your volume leveler probably destroyed more detail than was "missing" from the originals.

12. This into a nice 2-band compressor for bringing out the smooth bass harmonics and mid harmonics the exciter created.
Again, why are you removing data?

13. This goes into a nice pre-amp to add some life back into the audio.
This also goes further against your use of the volume

14. This into a 4-band compressor to add some richness.
Again, why are you removing data?

15. This into one of my favorite equalizers.
What bands are you accentuating? Why are you doing this when there's so much data that you're missing?

16. Then I mixed this down to a reel-to-reel tape. (This put me back quite a lot as that tape gets expensive very quickly!)
What does this accomplish? If you had that kind of money, you could have easily sprung for the synths and had a much higher quality source to work with.

17. From here I go to an excellent stereo widener.
So, that explains the strange reverb on everything.

18. This into a soft limiter
19. Whatever went over 0db was caught by the excellent limiter I had directly after that.
20. I then had one of my favorite limiters setup after to catch any overs that the other limiter might have missed.
This invalidates the limiters you had going in step 6.

21. The output of all this was recorded into my PC via my EPIC (emphasis on epic) capture card into Adobe Audition at 96khz/24-bit.
What does this accomplish when the source was at a lower sample rate?

22. The output was down-sampled to 44.1khz sample-rate (almost pointless as that my reel-to-reel is a classic and starts sloping down at 17-ish khz)
Why do this when you could have recorded at 44.1khz from the get-go and have the results sound better?

23. The file was also dithered to 16-bit with one of my favorite digital dithering setups that gave exactly -72db of dynamic range but you can hear as far as -144db with it.
Why do this when you could have recorded at 16-bit from the get-go and have the results sound better?

24. This was then exported to a .wav file, encoded to MP3, tagged, and when the entire thing was finished, packaged, and uploaded. You have the output of that huge process.
What was stopping you from exporting to FLAC without using MP3 as a go-between?

Thank you!

I can't comprehend the effort it took doing this. Half of these things I have never even heard of. A fantastic rip though, truly commendable. Many thanks.


I know how often this has been mentioned and remedied, but to maybe save other people discovering and having gone through the pages and posts covering it, I felt I or at least the OP, more than anyone should post this:

*NOT Included-
MP2 'Agon Wastes Main Theme'
MP2 'Intro Theme'
MP3 'Staff Credits'

ERRORS-
MP2 'Torvus Main Theme' = 'Dark Torvus Bog'
MP2 'Luminoth Farewell' = 'Escape from Dark Aether (part 2)'

And the MP2 'Staff Credits'- Did it really need to be repeated in the same file, even after the track faded out naturally (or thereafter ripping)?


*All of this information from my own realisation and understanding, if there are any further irregularities, I haven't noticed them.

thanks a ton

I've been reading through this thread, and I'm confused: was Mr.Assett2's remaster ever available in FLAC? Or did he just provide MP3?

AHH!! thank you so much! :D

many greatul and eternal thanks disgaeahavok!!!

Does anyone have alternate links? Packupload is giving me a hecka lotta trouble.

So I've got a bit of a problem here. Maybe I'm not too familiar with packupload or something, but I got Prime 1 no problem. For Prime 2 and 3 I get a 0byte rar everytime. Maybe I'm just on a cooldown period (though it seems to be a long time between downloads if that's the case). Anyhow, should those links no longer work, I saw Disgaeahawk re-up'd the tracks in ALAC. I see he added a track or two, so I'd say it's probably a more complete assembly, however his uploads don't have the organization present in the OP's uploads. (aka: the track numbers are empty and the album art seems to be different)

From the copy of Prime 1 I did detect a great amount of time and care went into these tracks, so if possible I'd like them in a state closest to what he intended. (aka: I'm kinda a stickler for organization and if I could I'd like to get my hands on the files linked on the main post) That being said, I'm very grateful to Disgaeahawk for re-upping in lossless regardless. Thanks dude.

I've been trying for days to get Metroid Prime 2 and 3 to work, but the simply won't. These amazing remasters needs a reupload.

Bump. Can someone reupload the MP3 links on the first post? All I can say is that it would be a real shame if all Mr.Assett2's work was lost.

Good news!

I talked to mikeman_61 and he was able to give me links to Echoes and Corruption; without his help these might have been lost to the masses forever.

So I've reuploaded all three MP3 versions of the remastered soundtrack. Here's the MEGA link (https://mega.co.nz/#F!XQ9UgCrS!ywTzxSNohgVDA6fX92M2kg).

Quality work, Mr.Assett. It brings back such great memories...

In other news, getting nostalgic about a GCN game makes me feel old

Awesome work. Cheers to you for bringing such amazing music to a real earing pleasure. By the way I don't want to soudn too picky but I realized some tricks had glitches like clips or sudden short break before starting back. Are you aware of these little flaws? And do you plan to update the files? (if it's not too demanding).

Thank you again

I can't extract the Metroid Prime 2 file. It says it has been damaged. For some reason it took a lot less time to download two than it did one. Anyway thanks for uploading!

Let me start off by saying that I do truly enjoy the album covers Faleel has provided here.

That being said, i made some alternatives for myself with the absolutely incredible artwork of Ian Wilding (iwilding.com) and I figured i would share them.

Here they are. (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fj2jwwu2aq25yzf/AADvkyxqfASGBA-VxgPaSid0a?dl=0)

Please forgive any ugly aliasing in the layers.
Keep in mind, these were thrown together in like, 10 minutes and I'm not a GIMP wizard by any means.
I'm simply forced to use it when I find myself in need of creating an album cover from scratch.
(custom Demon's Souls cover in there too as a bonus because the official one is criminally bad)

Everyone who wants a reupload, look for my Mega.co.nz links earlier in the thread. They're still fully operative.

Some people (like me) prefer the version with tags... yours is untagged.

My own MEGA links (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f72/metroid-prime-trilogy-remaster-project-flac-official-125632/15.html#post2693193) have the tagged versions.

It's a good thing both versions of this remaster are readily available!

Thanks to Mr. Asett for all the hard work on this huge project and thanks to the people who shared a MEGA link too! Much appreciated ;)

Does anyone know if the FLAC version is also uploaded to MEGA? oh nvm just read that the flac was not released in the end.

Hmm. I must've uploaded the original files, which weren't tagged, but it's all tagged on my computer now.

Flac wasn't released? That info's wrong as almost everything's lossless on his rips except for the missing tracks.

Well, the OP says "The originals were in FLAC, but I decided that the package was way too big and there isn't much quality difference between the MP3 and the FLAC to justify a FLAC download IMO. But I may upload it just in case." Just that there are no flac links. :(

Or maybe the links are somewhere else and I can't find them?

Why did you start by removing data?

That entire post made my sides hurt, I think people will just download anything with "REMASTER!!!!1!11" slapped on it.

Thanks.

Sweet thanks!! By the way NO COLLECTION CAN BE COMPLETE without these!

Yup. Very dead, indeed.

Any chance someone has a FLAC link to Metroid Prime 1?

I would also like a FLAC link to MP1.

+1 on some new lossless link of Prime 1. I've got another lossless version of the actual Prime Trilogy from somewhere here to hold me over, but that's a straight game rip and I'd love to hear the remaster in full quality, especially since Prime 1 is my favorite game of all time and I've got the new Massdrop x Hifiman HE-350 coming in August (SOUNDSTAGE FOR DAAAAYS).

someone please reupload

Bump. Does anyone have this? The MP1 link is down.

mp1?

It's fine guys, get it from here. These links still work.

Which, thanks for reuploading by the way.

I have all 3 of these. I'll upload them later today.

Here's the first game in FLAC (except for Chozo Ghost, which is MP3): MEGA (https://mega.nz/#!n5ExVTIQ!cyt0KxRbEPVHp1CUlOU4ryA61FS94WJZsKl63SlP98A)

The password is narpas sword

I'll try and upload the other 2 tomorrow.

Edit: Sorry I'm a couple days late. Here are the other games:

Metroid Prime 2 Echoes: MEGA (https://mega.nz/#!uwkAWYiR!c8aYOUumE5FHZHlBBtj6-2DR9eHCm4KNTtGjJ4Fgh48)
Metroid Prime 3 Corruption: MEGA (https://mega.nz/#!issCAIZI!BcWW-YmVshyRQGFxPvelsIHA0c-3gMtjscQVQzbwo5E)

The password is the same as the 1st game. Two things I should mention: Echoes from Prime 2 is in MP3 format, not FLAC, and I shortened Prime 2's end credits so it doesn't repeat. The song has an actual ending, and it bugged me that it looped.

Metroid Prime Trilogy - UNABRIDGED Gamerip [FLAC+MP3+AAC] Thread 174741

Not the same version, but in FLAC

Metroid Prime Trilogy - UNABRIDGED Gamerip [FLAC+MP3+AAC] Thread 126974

Not the same version, but in FLAC

Thanks for those looking for it, but I gotta say and insist that there really is a huge difference between the original CD release and what the OP managed to do with the remastering of the soundtracks.

I got his versions from years ago, and the quality is plain incredible. Usually when you see "remastered" on retail / gamerip soundtracks, it's pretty funny 'cause you can't really fix what is broken or not, it is as it is and you can only apply patches on it, but here... A lot of work was done and the process explained is definitely not bullshit, he did it a lot more to these soundtracks than many music labels who bought rights to sell records (Mondo, Iam8bit ?).

So, thanks to the OP that I never had the correctness to thank at the time, I never met the same quality on any other fan "remaster" than what you did here.

In the end, they're both terrible to be honest. One is vastly incomplete, suffers from audio clipping and bad reverb and the other suffers from poor use of equalization, destroyed dynamic range, even worse reverb and an overall loss of detail.

Prime Blue's rip is still the definitive version of the soundtrack to this day. A straight up gamerip where all the audio bugs have been fixed. Unless Nintendo releases the uncompressed original recordings this is as good as it gets.

Speaking of which, do you know where Prime Blue's rip is? By the way, Prime Blue's work on Twilight Princess rip is the best around IMO.

Speaking of which, do you know where Prime Blue's rip is or is this the one?

Metroid Database (https://www.metroid-database.com/music-all-games/) has his Metroid Prime 1 & 2 rips in MP3 quality, unfortunately I can't seem to find a working link for the FLACs. Maybe someone in the Lossless Thread has them?

Sadly enough, this "remaster" is the very reason Prime Blue ended up leaving the scene forever (Thread 91364).

As I said you can't reach perfection with something already done, you can just apply patches over it, overall I enjoy a lot what he did and seeing the thread, many people are pleased (more than unpleased ones). I respect different opinions and I do understand why a gamerip is perhaps the "best" release when the official one has mastering problems not present in the game files though.

Gotta add, I don't know if there's differences between the original MP1 Remaster done by Assett1 (the one i Have) and the one that has been added / tweaked when the whole trilogy has been released two years later.

About Prime Blue's departure, I'm sorry to say that but that's plain bullshit and quite cocky to say the least. I got huge respects for people uploading, working and sharing game music rips, but really, you can't go on the "don't steal my work" field when yourself are stealing and distributing for free the musical creation of someone else. You can't take credits for the original composer. You share his work because you believe it needs to be listened by as many as possible (in the best conditions possible maybe considering this one had a commercial release).

To add even more on that, Assett1 never used his gamerip for his first remaster, he used the CD soundtrack, he simply mentionned he could perhaps use his rip to see if it could be better than the CD release, he never used anything without his knowledge but PB's jumped on the thread and directly attacked him... Assett1 even said he wouldn't necessarily release the reworked rip after that, just that he might, giving him credits obviously. Like anyone might repost any other soundtrack upload, giving credits to the original uploader.

Honestly, even if I can understand the reaction at first, that's definitely a lame and pathetic move from him, never share anything online if you get mad with what people do of your uploads after that.

The very same thing happened recently in an other thread, kudos to him, our fellow uploader kirbyhammer7 is patient enough to discuss about what was a problem for him instead of leaving the hall like a angry child.
Thread 228191

Hmm, just curious about which one I have? I have a complete FLAC collection of 1, 2, 3, and titles and menus from the trilogy. I remember it being someone's personal gamerip/remaster, but didn't realize there were multiple people working on it. Anyone know by chance which this is? My MP1 is 756MB vs 900MB of the reuploaded one here, my MP2 is the same at 826MB vs. 829MB, and my MP3 is 860MB vs. 785MB here.

EDIT: Actually, the sizes of the ones here are a little larger, forgot I hadn't unzipped them yet.

I didn't know about that and it saddens me because we know all the hard work involved in ripping game music straight from the source.

The sizes of the 5 folders in the Unabridged version (UNZIPPED FLAC) are:

Titles, menus, etc: 110 MB
MP 1: 756 MB
MP 2: 826 MB
MP 3: 864 MB
Bonus Gallery Soundtrack: 589 MB

Okay, that's the one that I have. Who's project was that, Blue or one of the others? Just curious so I can add that tag into my library, as I didn't realize there were other people who did their own.

EDIT: Aha, I see this was dy32light's Unabridged Remaster, just had to read through the thread...

Thank you to Mr.Assett2 for the remastered Project! You are a God!
