DOOM II: Hell on Earth OST - Sega Genesis Cover

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

Jesus, the reverb on Demon's Dead is spine tingling.

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

You did it again man, this is awesome and shows why you can't underestimate the Génesis' Sound chip. It sounds noticeably better than the Sound blaster version.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

God *daaamn!* The YM2612 makes the guitar in Shawn's Got The Shotgun sound so menacing!

[@fun-epersonnproductions4002]

And those drums!

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

Alright, now we just need someone to port Doom 2 to the 32X

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

I have a surprise for you. KZbin search "Doom II 32X PC Maps PORT mod", you're welcome. :D

[@DeskoDev]

You know what I'd personally like to see? A proper port with optimized maps, running on a fork of the Resurrection source port.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@@DeskoDev That's kinda what I meant, and it really makes me wonder. Are there enough compromises possible which could make it happen, but without affecting general quality too much?

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

4th and 5th gen consoles only had so much memory to load stuff into, even if they had spacious disc media, so all those ports had to make their compromises somewhere or other, generally meaning much less texture variety and sometimes monster variety. For example, both versions of Doom on Playstation has the Spidermind, but Final Doom, while still having the assets on disc, leaves him completely unused because his sprites are gigantic and he kind of sucks as an enemy. Archie simply has too many frames, they'd have too little memory left for textures and other monsters. 32X Resurrection, however, shows you can stretch the Genesis and 32X a hell of a lot farther for Doom than they originally did, but can you stretch it yet further? Doom 64 made smart and extensive use of palette changes and color tinting for textures to create a lot of added visual variety for almost no use of memory or space, maybe that approach is possible on 32X?

[@TerraKing]

You even added the triangles for Countdown to Death! I usually see people forget that singular instrument, but you did it! Props! You made my 2nd favorite Alice in Chains song (Doom 2's "Bye Bye American Pie," which is a cover of "Them Bones" by AIC) into what sounds like a funky Sonic boss theme at 2:05:31.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

The sound of Opening To Hell is gnarly as... well, hell, but man, that footage was a little frustrating lol, don't be afraid of using the BFG to clear all the beasts off as they start to amass around you, that's the point. Anyway, I love all of this.

[@spoonybard13]

I’m not great at Doom, I know. I dunno why but somehow it’s easy for me to forget that I have the BFG, lol

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@@spoonybard13 Wouldn't say you're all awful, you correctly sverve out of the way for Revenant homing rockets for instance, it's really only Map 30 which stood out like this to me. Dario Casali, one of the Plutonia guys, showed up and uploaded a Plutonia playthrough, getting his ass handed to him by his own old levels because he just forgot stuff like that over time. It's very easy to learn the basics though. Check out a short video called *Pro Doom Monster Strats* if you wanna learn a few simple tricks that are really useful.

[@spoonybard13]

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine well, I mean, I recorded all this footage a couple years ago, before I started watching lots of Doomtubers. I could probably do much better if I gave this game another shot.

[@anarchysoftworks4592]

this is sick, i love it. a better port of DOOM to the 32x could have saved Sega and we'd be living in utopia but alas, the fates are cruel

[@TheRogueMaverick]

Awesome shit, man! Now to take the VGM files and convert them into lossless to make it sound better when cranked up with equalizers! THAT’S the only way to truly enjoy these, in my opinion! EDIT: Major correction… I need to use DeadFish to convert the VGM files to a ROM file and play them back on my Model 1… THAT’s the true way to enjoy the tunes!

[@estebanvillalobos2303]

Thanks so much for following up on this, now I need to figure out how to convert these to vgm for my hardware ym2612 player

[@spoonybard13]

Or I can just add the VGM files to the Drive folder in the description. It'll only take a sec. EDIT: And done. Enjoy! ;)

[@kilotron702]

Holy crap did I just discover my new favorite version of Into Sandy’s City?!

[@Reprogrammed_By_SEGA]

No you discovered the GBA version previously kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnXKeKWemZyDeJI remember? I think better drum samples could be used to give it more kick.

Welcome to Furnace, and nice work!!

[@demka4707]

Really great remixes!Some of them really close to original. Especially I'm like Into Sandy's City and The Demon's dead remixes!

[@jessemarkham6887]

it's just not very fun if you dont

[@optrirominiluikus]

This is pretty great! Love the way it sounds. The tracks are all a hundred years long, though.

[@Molkirill]

I can't believe on my eyes! good job, buddy.

[@LondenTower]

wow. this is pretty good! also, i'm very happy that you finished this soundtrack in furnace tracker. i didn't know that delek has a bad attitude about furnace supporting deflemask modules. you probably should make a video about it. (i mean, it's his own fault anyway for making the software paid. obviously someone else was going to make a tracker that's a lot better then defle. and furnace being open source is the icing on the cake.)

[@spoonybard13]

I’ve thought about making a video covering Delek’s little escapade, but truth be told, I’d rather not focus on negative stuff in the chiptune world. I’d rather just make a tutorial for Furnace tracker to replaced my old DefleMask tutorials. I could probably make them way better, too. I know some people were a little bit confused by my terminology in those videos, so I’ll be sure to do better this time.

[@LondenTower]

@@spoonybard13 i guess you're right on that front. at least some furnace tracker tutorials would be nice to have. and keep those nice chiptunes coming. 😉

[@pixelforge4858]

great

[@RetroSegaDev]

Vic just linked me to this! Beautiful work Spoony! :)

[@Wurdulac-ip1xq]

Great take on these tracks. The old Genesis sound chip does not get enough credit.

[@MorrisChannel4]

man, if the 32x version sounded like this!

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

It can, some really cool couple of dudes made a completely revamped version of the 32X port, which includes completely reinstrumented music like this, and it sounds fantastic.

[@TastySnax12]

Oh hell yeah! Been waiting a long time for this one!

[@angelriverasantana7755]

Hell yeah! Rippin and tearin like it's 1994, Mega Drive style!! Hope someone makes a WAD with this OST like they did the 32X Final Mix

[@spoonybard13]

The WAD with all these songs in OGG format is in the description. You’re welcome ;)

[@jess648]

@@spoonybard13would pair really well with one of many arcade run and gun style gameplay mods

[@rjmario2234]

Which track was your favorite and least favorite to work on?

[@spoonybard13]

Honestly it’s hard to pick because they all had a very similar process, because they’re all very heavy on repetition, just with changed instruments or added harmonies. Favorite is a toss up between Message for the Archvile, and The Dave D Taylor Blues. Least favorite was probably… In the Dark, just cause I think that’s a very boring song in general, and it’s absurdly long.

[@rjmario2234]

Message for the archvile is a favorite of mine and I was looking forward to hearing your version of it, that timpani sounds great. Did you use any samples or is this soundtrack all fm and psg?

[@spoonybard13]

@@rjmario2234 all FM and PSG. The tympani I think was made by Molkirill, who I collabed with for the TNT Evilution Genesis cover

[@Mordekai2009]

[@intigod7868]

I thought you had no interest in making a DOOM II OST cover

[@spoonybard13]

I used to not want to, but hey, minds change.

[@unnamedlucario]

run the video at 15 fps and give it sounds: you got doom 2 32x version

[@Big_Carl_Home_Media]

are you going to update the google drive listing with FLAC files, like how Doom 1's listing was?

[@spoonybard13]

I kinda want to re-record the songs, actually. You can hear in the video that all the recordings were subject to some really bad buzzing sounds. I'm not sure where they came from, and unfortunately, I haven't been in a position where I could easily re-record stuff from my Genesis for the past year or so. One day I'll update the recordings and post FLACs as well.

[@Big_Carl_Home_Media]

@@spoonybard13 Oh, nice! you did a great job mapping these, feel free to take your time.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

The 32x port of Doom was rushed out, both making the music infamously terrible and being the cause for it missing so much content, since they just downgraded the Jaguar version.
