Ishin no Arashi (X68000) - A Koei soundtrack by Yoko Kanno that sounds like a straight conversion of the original OPN music. The compositions are pretty good though.

Japanese Cult Quiz Zipang (PC-9801) - Another puzzle game with naked ladies and awesome music by Yoshio Furukawa and Hitoshi Sakimoto.

California Games (C64) - A game from Epyx's awesome sports game series. The music is by Chris Grigg.

Combat School (C64) - Port of the Konami arcade game, also known as Boot Camp. Martin Galway did the music, a conversion of the arcade soundtrack plus a new title track from Full Metal Jacket.

I can't even find a disk image for this game. Sangokushi III can be done though.

That was why I mentioned in my request post that if Sangokushi II couldn't be done, then the third game would suffice. Yes please!! :D

With Platoon, that 1 track named unknown is the Tunnel Level intro music

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 3 (X68000) - Since I didn't have any luck finding part 2, I did this one instead. Although it wasn't scored by Yoko Kanno, the style is very similar.

Black Lamp (C64) - A Tim Follin soundtrack. This has a few additional tracks compared to the Spectrum version I posted earlier.

Agent X II: The Mad Profs Back (C64) - Another game with Follin music, one of his first soundtracks on the C64.

Tough Turf (Arcade) - A Sega game, developed by Sunsoft, the music is by Shinichi Seya. Good stuff.


And lastly, Ishin no Arashi (X68000) and Platoon (C64) have updated tags thanks to KingTengu and iwannabelikemike.

Today's uploads are all from the dark ages of C64 music (aka the pre-Hubbard era).

Aztec Challenge (C64) - Music by Paul Norman, the programmer of this game. He was one of the first composers to create longer tunes, that build throughout the song.

Forbidden Forest (C64) - Another Paul Norman game and maybe his magnum opus, both in terms of music and game design. This was one of the first attempts to create a movie-like experience in a game. Very creepy stuff with an awesome title theme,

Cave of the Word Wizard (C64) - An educational game that featured pretty impressive speech synthesis.

M.U.L.E. (C64) - One of my favorite games from the 80s with a pretty iconic title theme. The music was ported from the original Atari 800 version.

Boulder Dash (C64) - Another case where the programmer did the music as well. A symphony of triangle waves.

Spy vs. Spy (C64) - Pretty cool two-player game that spawned a few sequels. The groovy title theme was another early C64 hit.

Bruce Lee (C64) - Neat game with an interesting two-player mode where the second player gets to control the enemies.

Dizasterblaster (C64) - Shaun Southern is mostly known as a designer/programmer (e.g. for the Lotus series on Amiga), but he also composed the music for a few of his games.

Also, KingTengu has provided proper tags for Romance of the Three Kingdoms (X68000).

I have another set of request for you to start the week off, nx666!!

- Fighting Hawk (Arcade - A Taito shmup that uses the sound engine later used in the arcade version of "Master of Weapon".)
- Knuckle Bash (Arcade - A pro wrestling-based beat-'em-up game by Toaplan. Has some good tunes that are well-done with the late sound chip they use.)
- Teitoku no Ketsudan (Sharp X68000 - Also known as P.T.O. - Pacific Theater of Operations.)

Have a great week, nx666!! :D

Here are my new requests:


Mahou Daisakusen (X68000)
Death Brade (X68000)
A compilation of Blandia (Arcade) and its ports and prototype soundtracks. If too many, just combine the arcade and prototype soundtracks.

Fighting Hawk (Arcade) - 1988 Taito shmup. Maybe not the most spectacular Taito soundtrack from that time.

Unreal (Amiga) - Some great atmospheric music by Charles Deenen and Reyn Ouwehand.

Knuckle Bash (Arcade) - Percussion-heavy 80s dance music.

Sorcer Striker / Mahou Daisakusen (X68000) - The first of all the great Raizing shmups. Despite using similar sound hardware, this is actually quite different from the arcade version.

Fourth Protocol (C64) - David Dunn is a somewhat forgotten early C64 composer who utilized the SID filters in pretty interesting ways. This is a nicely arranged piece, that is also very different from what most of his contemporaries did on the system at that time.

Escape from Paradise (C64) - Another David Dunn tune that is pretty awesome as well.

Blandia (Arcade) - Orchestral music that would be pretty good if it wasn't used in these short, looped samples of questionable sound quality. Only for X1-010 enthusiasts.

Pacific Theater of Operations / Teitoku no Ketsudan (X68000) - Another one for the ever-growing Koei collection. This one was composed by Hiroshi Miyagawa.

Yougekitai: Jashin Koumaroku (PC-9801, OPNA) - A Telenet game with music by Motoi Sakuraba & company.

Flame Zapper Kotsujin (PC-9801, OPNA, OPN) - Doujin shmup with an awesome soundtrack. The OPNA and OPN versions are quite different, so I included both.

Prophecy I: The Viking Child (Amiga) - Action-adventure, similar to the Wonderboy games. Barry Leitch composed the music.

Hammerfist (C64) - Action-adventure from the makers of the Last Ninja games. The music is by Wally Beben.

Kretacz (Amiga) - Fairly unremarkable puzzle game with nice music.

Rubicon (Amiga) - Charles Deenen did the Amiga version, which has different music than the C64 original. Very atmospheric stuff.

Himitsu no Hanazono (X68000) - I think this was based on a tv series. I had listened to the PC Engine version before, but this is even better.

Fairy Tale Kaizokuban (X68000) - Some sort of adventure game by Fairytale. Their games all seem to have pretty good music and I would really like to know who composed all of this stuff.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------


Here are my new requests:
Mahou Daisakusen (X68000)

This one will require a lot of time so I had to put it on the back burner for now. If you are just interested in the music (and not the X68000 version in particular) then I could upload the arcade soundtrack, which actually sounds a little bit better.



A compilation of Blandia (Arcade) and its ports and prototype soundtracks. If too many, just combine the arcade and prototype soundtracks.

The only other version I could find is the PC-98 release. There are more tracks, but the music doesn't sound all that great either. Like a bad Adlib soundtrack, maybe it was actually ported from the elusive DOS version. Let me know if you want it anyway.

Hello, nx666! I hope things are doing good. I have three new requests for you.

- Kyuukyoku Tiger (Sharp X68000 - Another adaptation of the arcade classic)
- Naious (Sharp X68000 - Don't know much about this, but thought I'd request it regardless.)
- Youjuu Kikouhei WerDragon (PC-88 - Has both OPN and OPNA versions, so I want to hear what they both sound like.)

Have yourself a great weekend, nx666!! :D

Heli Rescue (C64), Super Trucker (C64), Puzzle Shuffle (C64), Deadlock (C64) - Four games with music by Reyn Ouwehand

True Golf Classics: Pebble Beach Golf Links (PC-9801) - A request from a few weeks ago. This game had 3 or 4 expansions all stored in the same folder structure, so it was a tad difficult to find the right tracks for the Pebble Beach course. Mostly jazzy stuff.

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------


That was why I mentioned in my request post that if Sangokushi II couldn't be done, then the third game would suffice. Yes please!! :D

Btw, I found music files for Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 / Sangokushi 2 (X68000). Maybe keep that in mind for your next request in case you still want it.

Nice to hear! I'll ask for it on my next request to you, but for now, I am just awaiting the ones I requested to you two days ago.

Twin Cobra / Kyuukyoku Tiger (X68000) - Good conversion of Tatsuya Uemura's arcade soundtrack. The arcade board only had an OPL2 chip, so this sounds slightly better.

Mutant Fighter / Death Brade (X68000) - Found an easier way to do this, so here it is. Compared to the arcade version this is pretty disappointing though.

I'm not sure if I've asked this before (I might have) but could I request B.Rap Boys for the arcade? It would be a nice soundtrack to go alongside DJ Boy and is far more notable anyway. Thanks again!

This was requested before, unfortunately there is no easy way to record the music of this game. It's by no means impossible, but the methods that would work are all very time-consuming, which puts it in the "if I'm totally bored" category. I'll probably give it another shot at some point, but don't expect it anytime soon.

Uridium 2 (Amiga) - On of my favorite shmups on the system. The music is by Jason Page.

Naious (X68000) - Horizontal shmup scored by Hiroyuki Saegusa and Hiroshi Yamamoto, the composers behind games like Aquales, Geograph Seal, and �toile Princesse. A pretty solid effort.

Bummer, don't worry about it at all then, but thanks for the info :)

Benefactor (Amiga) - Olof Gustafsson is mostly known for the music of the Pinball Dreams series. As far as I know, this is his only other Amiga soundtrack.

Armored Beast WerDragon (PC-8801,OPNA) - Pretty good stuff by Toshiya Yamanaka, who also worked on the Star Cruiser games and Knight Arms. I couldn't do the OPN version, as the rip I have sounds absolutely atrocious.

Hello, nx666! I am back with another new requests for you along with Sangokushi II/ROTK II.

- The Chaos Engine II (Amiga - Sequel to the first, but not as good, lol)
- Suikoden: Tenmei no Chikai (Sharp X68000 - Yet another KOEI game to request, lol)

Have a great weekend, nx66!! :D

Think you can get the PC88/PC98 versions of XZR and XZR II?

Think you can get the PC88/PC98 versions of XZR and XZR II?

You can get the PC-88 OPNA versions from here (http://raborak.com/saladedemais/telenet-pc88-collection-vol-2).

I think I ran into the same issue as ruiner: I can't update the OP anymore, presumably because I'm over the size limit. Trying to save the post now just returns a database error.

Linking whole folders doesn't work for me as I would lose all the meta data. And that's something I feel is kinda important for a project like this. I asked a mod if it is possible to split the OP, the only other option I see would be to create a new thread and spread the content over the first 3-4 posts.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 3 (X68000) - Since I didn't have any luck finding part 2, I did this one instead. Although it wasn't scored by Yoko Kanno, the style is very similar.

Black Lamp (C64) - A Tim Follin soundtrack. This has a few additional tracks compared to the Spectrum version I posted earlier.

Actually, Romance of the 3 Kingdoms 3 was composed by Minoru Mukaiya.

I think you misread what I wrote :)

I reformatted the OP so I could squeeze in one last update, hopefully I didn't break anything. Still waiting for a response from the mods with regards to the size issue.



Today's update is (mostly) C64 arcade conversions.

Legend of Kage (C64) - Pretty good adaptation of Hisayoshi Ogura's arcade score by Fred Gray.

Rastan (C64) - Converted by Martin Galway. Unlike some of his other arcade ports, this is actually quite faithful to the original.

Altered Beast (C64) - By Martin Walker

Mr. Heli (C64) - Also known as Battle Chopper in the US. Charles Deenen did the music, which is pretty much just the theme of the first stage plus a new title track.

Double Dragon [Melbourne House] (C64) - This Melbourne House port was pretty bad and it's also lacking most of the music. There is only one track, an arrangement of the first stage music by Charles Deenen.

Double Dragon [Ocean] (C64) - Another Double Dragon port for the C64, this one was published by Ocean as a cartridge-only release. A pretty good conversion of the arcade soundtrack by Barry Leitch.

Xenophobe (C64) - I'm not overly familiar with the arcade soundtrack. Going by Youtube videos this seems to be completely new music by Barry Leitch and is easily some of his best work on the C64.

Space Harrier II (C64) - By Matt Furniss. Great conversion, although it is missing many tracks from the original Mega Drive release.

Niko^2 (X68000) - More Wolfteam goodness by Motoi Sakuraba and Ryota Furuya.

I think you misread what I wrote :)

Really? I thought it was done by Minoru Mukaiya.

Really? I thought it was done by Minoru Mukaiya.

Yes, it was done by Minoru Mukaiya, that's how that soundtrack is tagged as well. I only said the style is similar to that of Yoko Kanno.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 3 (X68000) - Since I didn't have any luck finding part 2, I did this one instead. Although it *wasn't* scored by Yoko Kanno, the style is very similar.


Evolution01, you seem to be missing the operative word here, "Wasn't scored by Yoko Kanno." Take a look at the OP:



The credit is correct. :)

Yes, it was done by Minoru Mukaiya, that's how that soundtrack is tagged as well. I only said the style is similar to that of Yoko Kanno.

Ah. Sorry about that mistake.

More Koei stuff, this one is for all the Minoru Mukaiya fans on this board :)

Romance of the Three Kingdoms II / Sangokushi II (X68000)

... but if you are more of a Yoko Kanno enthusiast, you won't go home empty handed either:

Bandit Kings of Ancient China / Suikoden: Tenmei no Chikai (X68000)

Both of these soundtracks were tagged by KingTengu (many thanks!), who also provided proper song titles for Pacific Theater of Operations (X68000).

And finally one non-Koei game:

The Chaos Engine 2 (Amiga) - The last of the Bitmap Brothers games (sniff). I remember this being pretty crappy though. The soundtrack is by Richard Joseph and similar to his music in the prequel.

Disposable Hero (Amiga) - Pretty good shmup by the guys who made Hawkeye. Some excellent techno in this soundtrack that also includes the tracks from the CD32 version.

Karei naru Jinsei: Mina-san no okage desu (X68000) - Fun for the whole family: an adult-themed board game by Fairytale. The tags are in Japanese, if anybody has translations, let me know.

Star Trader (PC-8801) - ruiner9 posted the X68000 version yesterday, so here is the PC-88 original by Mieko Ishikawa. The two games are actually quite different and there is not much overlap in the soundtracks either. Some of this reminds me of the Ys 3 music, which was probably composed around the same time.

DR^2 Night Janki (PC-9801,OPNA) - Mahjong game / visual novel with, guess what? Naked girls, of course! The music is pretty good though.

Statix (Amiga) - Puzzle game, the in-game music is by Jochen Feldk�tter aka Virgill, who made awesome demo music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHtoT0FZXuY) on the Amiga.

Hello again, nx666! I got some new requests for you today...

- Explosive Breaker (Arcade - I requested this once before, but I wanted to see if it could be done with more advanced recording techniques you've used lately)
- Nobunaga no Yabou: Sengouku Gunyuuden (Sharp X6800 - Yet another KOEI soundtrack. :D )
- Nobunaga no Yabou: Haouden (Sharp X68000 - Also another KOEI soundtrack to request, lol. Seems like I've got a liking for games made by KOEI, since I've have an interest in Japanese and Chinese history, and they have the BEST music for their strategy games, bar none.)

If Explosive Breaker can't be done still, then substitute it with 1945k III (Arcade).

Have a good day, nx666!! :D

Nobunaga's Ambition / Nobunaga no Yabou: Haouden (X68000) and Nobunaga's Ambition / Nobunaga no Yabou: Sengoku Gunyuuden (X68000) - Another strategy series by Koei with music by Yoko Kanno.

Chronicles of Omega (Atari ST) - Action game scored by Steve Barrett. Like most of his music this is pretty catchy stuff.

Chronicles of Omega (Amiga) - The Amiga port, also by Steve Barrett.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

Although I love strategy games, I never really paid a lot of attention to their stuff. The Koei series I like the most is Uncharted Waters. Played the DOS versions of the first two games to death. But they are not really strategy games, more like a mix of Pirates! with rpg elements. Pretty good music too.

I agree- I love KOEI's games from the old days before Dynasty Warriors made them popular and before they merged with TECMO. Especially on their music.

Logo (C64), Sarakon (C64), Hazar (C64), Tube Madness (C64), Iceblaster (C64) - (Mostly) puzzle games with music by Stefan Hartwig. If you liked his intro tune for Turrican then this will sound very familiar.

Meikyuu Gakuensai: Kyuukousha no Nazo (PC-9801) - Trying to tag this game probably got me onto some FBI wanted list. The music is by Ryu Umemoto and Masahiro Kajihara and up there with their best work. Hard to believe that this was made with "just" an OPN chip.

Nobunaga's Ambition: Haouden (X68000) and Nobunaga's Ambition: Sengoku Gunyuuden (X68000) have been updated with tags provided by KingTengu

If Explosive Breaker can't be done still, then substitute it with 1945k III (Arcade).

I might be able to do 1945III, but the sound quality of that game is atrocious. Short, low quality loops, similar to the early Seta games with the X1-010. Don't expect too much from that. Explosive Breaker would require too much time to rip, it's still in my backlog but I don't know when (or if) I will eventually get to it.

While this might not be the most impressive stuff in terms of sound design, Yoko Kanno's music is incredibly well composed. I would love to have orchestral arrangements of all of her soundtracks.

I'm already used to Seta's sound quality and looping stuff anyways, so I still want 1945III regardless of those issues.

I don't really care for the epic, impressive stuff.

1945k III (Arcade) - So yeah, this is pretty bad. There are something like 6 short samples that are then combined to create the various songs. I'm not even sure if I got all possible combinations, but they all sound the same anyway :)

Possessioner (PC-9801) - Adult-themed adventure game with great music. Hiroaki Sano and Masahiro Kajihara did the soundtrack for this one.

Hi nx666. Thank you for your efforts. Now I have 3 new requests. Rip the MIDI versions of:

Garou Densetsu (X68000)
Garou Densetsu Special (X68000)(includes the X68000 version of Garou Densetsu 2's exclusive tracks)

And the FM TOWNS version of Mahou Daisakusen. If that's over the limit, just stick with the Garou games.

You are welcome :)

I can do the Fatal Fury games, but you might have to wait a few days as I won't have access to my MIDI gear until the weekend.

As for Mahou Daisakusen / Sorcer Striker: the cd soundtrack of this game is just a recording of the X68000 music (which you can get from the OP).

Can you upload the soundtracks of the PC88 versions of Shiryou Sensen- War of the Dead and War of the Dead Part 2?

Hey nx666, I've got a few more Oriental Soft-related shmups to request:

-Wyvern Wings (Arcade)
-Trizeal (Arcade)
-XII Stag (Arcade)

I'm aware these'll probably sound like butt :p Oh well. Thank you!

Shiryou Sensen (PC-8801) - Horror rpg with atmospheric music.

Hard'n Heavy (C64) - The semi-sequel to Giana Sisters. Chris Huelsbeck did the music, which is somewhat reminiscent of his Katakis soundtrack.

Strawberry Daisenryaku (X68000) - More great music from Fairytale, this one is a adult-themed strategy game. And one of the songs is called "Frankly, I am licking...". I sincerely hope that's just a bad translation.

"Frankly, I am licking..."

Neuromancer (C64) - Cyberpunk rpg based on the novel with licensed music by Devo. The intro tune is made up of samples from "Some Things Never Change" and the in-game music is a chip tune cover of that song.

Revolution (C64) - I think "Aggressor Theme" was originally a demo by Martin Walker that was later used in this game. Sounds a bit like a techno remix of a Follin song.

Total Eclipse (C64) - One of the Freescape games, which were early 3d adventures. This atmospheric 10-minute track is by Wally Beben and similar to his Tetris music.

Thrice (X68000) - Puzzle game with music by Yuzo Koshiro.

Shiryou Sensen 2 (PC-8801) - Similar to the first game, I think overall I like this one a little bit better.

Wyvern Wings (Arcade) - Low-quality soundtrack that seems to (ab)use a lot of samples from various metal acts. The game itself looks pretty decent though, like a lost sequel to one of the old Psikyo shooters.

Hey nx666, I've got a few more Oriental Soft-related shmups to request:

-Trizeal (Arcade)
-XII Stag (Arcade)

Trizeal isn't properly emulated yet. However, there is a Dreamcast version which (I think) has the same music and could be requested in ruiner's thread. The music files for that game are available, so that rip should be fairly straightforward.

XII Stag also has problems in MAME: the sound hardware isn't fully emulated yet. But that game has a PS2 port, and you can get the sound files (in mp3 format) from here (http://psf2.joshw.info/x/XII%20Stag%20(2003-03-20)(Triangle%20Service)(Taito).7z).

Thanks for the pointers on those last two, helps a lot :) By the way, your little summaries of the soundtracks are the best thing ever, keep 'em coming!

Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (X68000,SC-55+OPM/MSM) - Conversion of the arcade soundtrack, can't really say which one sounds better as that's pretty much on a song-by-song basis. This is the SC-55 version which also uses the internal sound chip to add additional effects here and there.

Fatal Fury Special (X68000,SC-55+OPM/MSM) - Similar to the first game. This one also includes most (all?) of the music from Fatal Fury 2.

Geometric 2 (C64) - Kai Walter aka PVCF was known for his multi-speed drivers and thumping techno music. His soundtracks are a pretty good showpiece for how far c64 sound driver design had come at the end of the system's (commercial) life.

Nova 2 (C64) - A soundtrack composed by Kai Walter and Ron Grahnert, this one is a bit more melodic and less techno than Geometric 2. I'm not sure if the "Sound Collection Intro" was actually part of the game's soundtrack, but it was too good to be left out.

Spanner-X -Endless Fire- (X68000) - Early '90s house and techno played on an FM chip. The result sounds like something from the first two Streets of Rage soundtracks. And it's pretty awesome.

Cardiaxx (Amiga) - Rocking tunes by Matt Simmonds

Popful Mail (PC-8801,OPNA) - The original version of this game, like most Falcom soundtracks this is pretty good.

Is it possible for you to rip following games:

-OutRun (C64)
-Turbo OutRun (C64)
-OutRun Europa (C64)

I don't usually request stuff, but your Commodore 64 rips are the best in the entire net. SID emulation and Stone Oakvalley's rips just doesn't cut it for me anymore.

Turbo Outrun is already in the OP. It's a great soundtrack, easily one of the best arcade conversions on the C64. I'll add the other two to my list.

And don't hesitate to ask for more stuff, I don't get requests for C64 music very often :)

I was bored, so...

OutRun (C64) - Conversion by Jason Brooke. I've never been a huge fan of this version of the soundtrack. It's missing two songs, and what's there isn't all that great either.

OutRun Europa (C64) - This is an original game published by U.S. Gold based on the OutRun license. The music is a pretty solid effort by Jeroen Tel, although not nearly as inspired as his Turbo OutRun conversion.

OutRun Europe (C64) - That's not a typo, there was a actually a fourth, unreleased game that at some point was turned into the Turbo OutRun port. There are only three tracks, two of which are remixes of "Passing Breeze" and "Splash Wave". Jeroen Tel is the composer for this one as well.

I had no idea OutRun Europe was a thing, I guess you learn something new everyday. Thank you very much for these soundtracks.

Hello, nx666! Here are some more requests for you!

- Ghost Pilots (Arcade - A shmup that seems to take inspiration from Toaplan shmups and Raiden.)
- Legend of Success Joe (Arcade - A beat-'em up based on the anime and manga, similar to what SNK did for their adaptation of Eight Man.)
- Shienryu (Arcade - ruiner (I believe) ripped the PlayStation version (but I'm not sure), so I want to request the original arcade version.)

Have a great day, nx666, and long live VGM!!

Oh, I almost forgot, I download the ost for Neuromancer (C64) and it sounds really impressive despite the three tracks that are in the game.

Heyo :D
Can you rip this?
- Contra Evolution (Arcade) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-OTFnzpBS8&list=PLJMgPZO0QGqavmomTSdoFnneqYHRxYGw9
- Jackie Chan: The Kung Fu Master in Fists of Fire (Arcade)
- Shogun Warriors (Arcade)

Wow, I'm surprised to see an actual good rip of Ninja Baseball Bat Man here! When I tried to rip it in BridgeM1 it sounded terrible, and for some reason the sound test doesn't play the complete tunes, so I really appreciate this! :)


That being said, I'd like to make an arcade request of my own: Is it possible for you to rip Bonk's Adventure: Arcade Version? Attempted a rip of this one myself, but it doesn't seem to be supported by BridgeM1 at all, nor can I find a sound test for it. If it helps, the EU and JP titles for it are B.C. Kid: Arcade Version and Kyuukyoku!! PC Genjin respectively. Thanks in advance for looking into it!

Just a heads up: I'm going to create a new thread tomorrow as I haven't been able to update the OP for a few days now. I'm getting database errors every time I'm trying to save the first post, but I don't think there is a quick fix for this problem as all the mods are probably fairly busy with other stuff right now.

Heyo :D
Can you rip this?
- Contra Evolution (Arcade) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-OTFnzpBS8&list=PLJMgPZO0QGqavmomTSdoFnneqYHRxYGw9
- Jackie Chan: The Kung Fu Master in Fists of Fire (Arcade)
- Shogun Warriors (Arcade)

Contra Evolution is essentially a PC game running in an arcade cabinet. But I don't really want to pirate a game that's a year old to rip its music. I can't do the other two games either due to the lack of sound tests. Sorry about that.

However, I could do Dragon Master, and you were also asking for "Slum Dunk" in ruiner's thread. Did you mean "Slam Dunk" aka "Run and Gun", the Konami game? I could do that as well.

Wow, I'm surprised to see an actual good rip of Ninja Baseball Bat Man here! When I tried to rip it in BridgeM1 it sounded terrible, and for some reason the sound test doesn't play the complete tunes, so I really appreciate this! :)


That being said, I'd like to make an arcade request of my own: Is it possible for you to rip Bonk's Adventure: Arcade Version?

Unfortunately, I can't do this one either as Kaneko never bothered to put sound tests in their games. :(

I've created a new new thread (Thread 194543), the content is the same but the OP has been split into multiple posts. Hopefully this solves the issues I had with the database updates.

Please post requests in the new thread from now on, I'll consider this one closed.
