Maybe? I have listened to some of them, particularly Jasper Byrne's Decade Dance and Night Driver, as well as Acid Spit by Mega Drive. I expect ambient parts would be challenging to design instruments for, but that kind of practice would make some other songs on my list much more manageable so it's probably worth the time investment. The best I can guarantee is that work on a Miami 2 song wouldn't begin until I finish two songs that are currently in progress, at the earliest. But if you want some Miami 2 now go check out Galcha's work! They've done Roller Mobster and Le Perv already, and both sound great.

​@@FickleFilmsplease do a quixotic remix literally nobody does it. Its such a unique song and I want to see other people's takes on it

You and me both lol

Happy I could deliver!

Could you clarify which file is causing problems and what the problem is?

@@FickleFilms .vgm and .dmf it says it broke

It’s actually from Toejam and Earl. Not everything FM has to be Sonic

@@solarflare9078 i know but I haven’t played T&E and as I’m a sonic fan that’s the first thing that came to mind

Toejam and Earl bass and Sonic 1/2 bass are slightly similar

I have actually started a module for that one, I can't promise it will be finished any time soon but I'm definitely considering it. Still tweaking the leads and trying to pick apart the original.

It's done! You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3qlnXylndFnf5I

Essa versão não foi feita no chip do Genesis, o chip dele e o ym2612

@@maquiztop6018 Desculpe, eu sei um pouco de espanhol, meu português é horrível. O chip Genesis Modelo 1 era ym2612, eles mudaram para ym3438 com os Modelo 2s, que eram muito menores.

@@NunyaB1s mas o chip do vídeo e o ym2151, esse chip nunca esteve no Genesis,

@@maquiztop6018 Obrigado pela clarificação! Desculpe-me pelo erro! não li o título 🤣

ainda é um arranjo lindo e vou levar mais! espero que o Google não destrua isso

Glad to hear you liked the video! I am just a hobbyist so I am not too experienced with composition and don't have a ton of tips to offer, but one simple thing I would recommend is to listen to as much related content as you can. Listen to the same song covered by different people and try to pick out differences in their styles, listen to Genesis music for rpg/puzzle/action genres. There's also some great modern artists who use FM, like Landon Podbielski's Duck Game OST, Rainbowdragoneyes' The Messenger OST, and Jake Kaufman's Shovel Knight Dig OST (abides by restrictions of the YM2608 if I'm not mistaken). If you hear something you like, make a note of it (even if you don't know proper musical terms to describe it). I also make playlists of music for screens that most games have (title, menu, pause, etc.) to try and relate games' mood and theme to their music. With enough listening you can start to build an intuition for what is suitable for different parts of your game. I have been considering gathering my last 2 years of experience with tracker software into a guide of sorts. If that sounds like it would be helpful to your gamemaking process and you have any specific questions let me know and I'll try to include answers to them!

The Mega Drive has a reputation for homebrew? I had no idea

Base model would never in life would be able to handle it. Sega Cd tho...

@schizoposting9593 It doesn’t have to be a 1:1 port. There can be some animation cuts here and there; no way the game can handle ALL the animation in a 32 Mbit cart. As for performance, I can imagine some slowdown in areas, but the AI for enemies is pretty simple for the most part, and the sprites aren’t usually huge, so it’s nothing it couldn’t handle without dropping to 1/3 speed/20 FPS. As for the Mega CD, all it does it give it CD audio/PCM capabilities and a slightly better CPU with zooming capabilities.

@FickleFilms There’s like 20 homebrew MD games that came out recently. Some include: Final Fight MD Mega Man The Sequel Wars Cave Story MD 0.8.0 Mega Man X Xeno Crisis (not *too* recent but still) And more

@@solarflare9078 That's what I'm sayiiiiing. The CD has way better sound, I have a sega genesis myself and i wish i could have gotten a cd too. Oh well
