Mercs OST (Sega Genesis, 1991) [line-out console rip, FLAC-WAV @ 16/48]

Composer: Arcade: Manami Matsumae (M. Gotoh) / Original: "Milpo"

Here is the OST for Mercs, recorded from the headphone jack of a Model 1 Genesis with a VA3 revision motherboard. Audio was captured using a Behringer U-Phono UFO202 and Audacity 2.0.1. Aside from some volume optimization, this is raw audio straight from an actual console, no emulation. Each looping track was allowed to play twice, then given a 10-second fade-out. Couldn’t find a VGM file for reference, so I took the Arcade Mode track names from the M1 emulator (these in turn were derived from Final Fight GSM Capcom 3 (http://vgmdb.net/album/630)); Original Mode tracks were left as numbers. Tracks are ordered according to the sound test mode.
