The Star Fox SNES Collection – Vertiphon Remaster

Star Fox: The SNES Collection – Vertiphon 2010 remaster (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5445326/)

This torrent contains 96 tracks, comprising all of the Original Sound Version music from the Super Nintendo games Star Fox, and Star Fox 2.

Foobar renders with Sinc interpolation, no surround, and again my light mastering touches to give everything that little extra. Especially if you have a sub-woofer (although the Gunstar Heroes and Thunder Force soundtracks tend to be bass-heavier, what with their FM synthesis).

Disc 1 carries all of the OSV audio from Star Fox as Composed by Hajime Hirasawa. Please note that this does NOT contain any of the audio found in the officially released Star Fox "arrange OST" catalogue TECD-25275 on Teichiku Entertainment records, as listed here:
http://chudahs-corner.com/soundtracks/index.php?catalog=TECD-25275

Much of the music is the same, of course, but the SOURCES are different. None of the material, as presented on that CD, is present here at all. (Yeah, Nintendo are litigious.)

Disc 2 contains the music from the sequel, as composed by Kozue Ishikawa and Yumiko Kanki. Star Fox 2’s soundtrack was, like the game, never officially released. The SNES audio data rips going around do not include a couple of tracks. So "exclusive" to this release is the Under Water version of Fortuna, for example. There are one or two pieces that I have purposely left out, because they were just repeats of other material but with a weaker "mix", and for some reason Corneria appears again in the sound data. It is no different to Star Fox, so I have not included it in disc 2.

I have taken the chance to organise the music into a listening experience that – because of the non-linear nature of the game – roughly follows how you would play through it. The tracklist is over at TPB to give a hint.

Anyway, as always I’m permanently seeding it. I hope you enjoy. 🙂

If you haven’t already, please try my remasters of Gunstar Heroes (Thread 74347) and Thunder Force (Thread 74398).

you have a client, thank you.

Thank you !

Since you are Starfox fans you just might like this 😉 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH-dzP_MgkE

Is there any other way of getting this other than torrent?

Someone may put up a copy to MegaUpload, if you really are unable to use torrents. If you CAN use torrents, please just be patient with it.

Oh and the next release will be another Sega trilogy. 🙂

I love Star Fox music, is there any chance someone can mirror this to a file sharing site prefferably Megaupload as mention before?

I could spend the next month downloading all the FLACs and then upload them on mediafire, or something. I only downloaded 2 files (Meteor and Corneria):
Added 15/03/2011 04:36:50
Completed 16/03/2011 22:42:20
Note that the torrent hasn’t been on all the time as I have to shut my PC down some time, right? So the actual download time is 12 hours, 11 minutes, not 42 hours, 6 minutes as the difference between the added and completed times suggest. This is 70.0 megabytes in 12 hours, 11 minutes, giving an average download speed of about 1.6 kB/s (which is 0.13% of my 1.2 MB/s download speed). This is why I hate torrents. I could have downloaded the ENTIRE torrent’s worth of files in just over 17 minutes (literally), yet I had to wait almost 2 whole days just for TWO files? If I downloaded the entire torrent, I calculated it to take 8.9 days for the 1.21 gigabytes (heh, almost reference to BttF there… except it’s watts not bytes obviously), to have downloaded.

I would much like a MF or MU as well.

Excellent work, Vertiphon. Thanks again for your SoR Remasters, I still listen to those often. 🙂 I’m going to check out your other two now!

you can take it here Star Fox SNES Collection (Vertiphon 2010 Remaster) [flac].rar :: Furk.net (http://www.furk.net/Star_Fox_SNES_Collection_Vertiphon_2010_Remaster_f lac_.rar.html?INVITE=838359)

Does any1 know if its available in MP3 format somewhere? thx!!

The link isn’t working for me…

a little too much bass when I’m using an amp (which is always), but the sound quality is second-to-none, really.

Great stuff ^^

Thanks for this!

I would also appreciate an MP3 version of the soundtrack on some file hoster 😉

I’d be happy to provide an MP3 link if someone can mirror the FLAC version to Megaupload. Furk.net is way to slow for free users 94kbps is unacceptable for me as I can download 2mbps with Megaupload.

#12 in the thread has the link.

That’s not quite what Neo _Chip was after.

So…. No one has a MP3 of this?

would like to see a mp3 320 kbps version of this

1. Download FLACs
2. Winamp -> Send To -> Format Converter -> MP3, 320 kbps, etc.
3. ???
4. Profit

I’ll torrent the damn thing. Let’s hope it won’t take all Summer to download. .-.
EDIT: It’s actually unable to be downloaded. 0 Seeds FTW

Again, if you have the FLACs, it’s not that hard to convert to MP3.

Well it’s always nice to have the option of downloading MP3 transcodes. Especially for those with a slow/unstable connection or those who couldn’t care less about lossless stuff.

But then, try and live in the year 2011, and not 1990s. Lossless is better than the crappy MP3 format? Slow connection? Patience is a virtue. If you have a REALLY slow connection with download speeds of about 10 kilobytes per second or lower, you REALLY need to upgrade NOW! Luckily I have 10 Megabits (~1.2 Megabytes) per second download speeds.

That’s pretty ignorant. Some people don’t have a choice in their internet service because of where they live. And some have download quotas and what not.

But beside that, it’s just an exercise in painful inefficiency for some people. For some, all FLAC is good for is taking up a lot of space. Some people don’t hear much or any difference with lossless compared to 192 kbps or even 128 kbps MP3s. So asking them to download four times as much data (or more) for no reason is retarded. They are just going to transcode and delete them anyway. Maybe instead of douche-bagging it up about your internet connection and audio format preferences, you could take a couple moments to do a quick MP3 transcode and upload to save some people a considerable amount of time and trouble, like they’ve been asking?

You’d have to be deaf not to hear the difference between 128 kbps MP3 and even 320 kbps MP3, let a lone, FLAC.

Lossless is the future, deal with it.

Thanks Vertiphon !

Star Fox SNES Collection (Vertiphon 2010 Remaster) – MP3 Version (http://mir.cr/HDTZB615) (220 MB)

(MP3 Lame 3.98.4 Preset V0, with original filenames, tags, .jpg/.png & .txt files)

So far Vertiphon’s done Streets of Rage 1-3, Star Fox and a couple of others. He should do Sonic 3D (Genesis/Mega Drive version) … heck all the Genesis/Mega Drive sonic games, including Sonic 1, 2, 3, +K, CD, Spinball and 3D.

Again, if you have the FLACs, it’s not that hard to convert to MP3. winamp can convert flac to mp3 but why would u want mp3 FLAC is god like sound peeps get yourself better speakers then u can tell the difference from crapo mp3 and god like FLAC lossless jack and that a fact

Lossless is the future, deal with it.

I’ve already dealt with it, and I support it. I archive in FLAC. But that doesn’t change the fact that insane amounts of people can’t hear the difference (or they hear it, but feel it’s not worth taking up 5+ times the space) or don’t care about lossless archiving. So instead of being a jackass who doesn’t care about what others need, upload MP3 links too and don’t force them to download 5+ times the amount of data for no reason.

winamp can convert flac to mp3 but why would u want mp3 FLAC is god like sound peeps get yourself better speakers then u can tell the difference from crapo mp3 and god like FLAC lossless jack and that a fact

Jeez guy, learn to type. Ever heard of a period or comma? They make written communication so much clearer.

Why would you want MP3? Sigh. SIIIIIGH. How about some people can’t hear the difference and it saves 5 times the space or more? And lossless is pointless on portable systems. I bet you can’t consistently tell the difference between lossless and V0 MP3 in actual double blind tests on even the best available equipment.

And stop uploading shitty bootleg CDs. An FLAC rip of an MP3 is just a bloated MP3. Apparently you couldn’t tell your Double Dragon 3 CD was actually very lossy. What does that tell you?

thank you for the mp3 version.

ufff thanksss !!!

Of course, if people really don’t care about the quality of anything, I can always provide people with MP3s encoded at 8 kbps, 8 kHz, and mono.

Here’s Corneria encoded at such quality for a taster of how awesome the quality is:

Thanks for the MP3 Version of The Remastered Star Fox Soundtrack, I love it!!

Ok, I checked it out – I was especially interested in Starfox 2, but all the remastering aside, there’s some thing I don’t get. I think it’s kind of obvious that you spend some time at this project but I’m wondering: most of the tracks on Disc 2 (and some on Disc 1 too if I remember correctly) don’t have any fade-outs, they are just cut-off at the loop-point. What’s the point in that, really? For me that totally destroys any listening expiereince and even with all the work you put into this project the result comes across as some of these countless lazy game-rips you can find on the net which don’t have any fade-outs or anything.

Well I would imagine that you tried to get the whole soundtrack for Starfox 2 on one disc and kept it as short as possible or something but I really don’t know… if you ask me the result just isn’t all that great, or at least it could have been much better.

Coulod someone please re-up this wonderful piece of work?

Drat. Torrent stopped at 49%

That’s…not what anybody’s looking for.

Considering that all of Vertiphon’s stuff is gone right now, that’s the best you are going to get.

Does anyone still have this in FLAC or MP3? I’m really curious how it sounds 🙂
