  • so here's a cover i made of the song that plays in the colosseum in castlevania symphony of the night with famitracker, using the VRC6 module
    i also made a mockup of the game in NES restrictions to illustrate the video, with the help of Emperor Pixel over at pixeljoint (HUD, alucard sprite and certain tiles) who has made quite a few more of these NES SOTN screenshots
    Here's an NSF file for those who want it: www.mediafire....

      (im thinking if i ever finish it and im aching for more then ill do SotN, since most of the pixelart will already have been done)

      Glad you keep coming back! I actually have been making an NES demake which mixes Rondo and SotN into one game for a couple years now, so far I've done most of the SotN soundtrack. I'd be glad to show you all this, but UA-cam doesn't seem to have a PM system anymore so i'm not sure how...

    • @StormCrow95
      @StormCrow95 9 років тому +6

      When you think about it, the NES Castlevania games, an 8-bit Rondo of Blood and elements of Zelda II can fit for it with how Alucard could play. ;)

    • @TheDarkPredator92
      @TheDarkPredator92 9 років тому +4

      StormCrow95 Maybe something like Simon's quest, but obviously lots of the parts of the castle would have to be removed, while also limiting a lot of some other stuff like relics, spells and gear. Alucard would have to mantain his Dracula's curse animations obviously.

    • @StormCrow95
      @StormCrow95 9 років тому +2

      I thought as much, hence the nod to Zelda II if we're taking Simon's Quest's style into account.

      well hey, it's not completely out of scope, with today's tools. I have to make more graphics, but it's already a project of mine to remake Rondo of Blood in 8-bit and i could use some of the graphics i've made for that - and i'vealready coded a solid engine to simulate the NES' tile-based sprite animations.
      So sure, all this is a lot of work still needing to be done, but check here again a few years down the line - you might be surprised :)

    I feel like the NES would have dropped two channels from this song. But maybe with the Castlevania III famicom booster chip, they could achieve this.

    • @LexouDuck
      @LexouDuck  3 роки тому +1

      That's pretty much right - Just as you say: this cover uses the Konami VRC6 expansion chip, which is the same one which was used for the JP famicom version of Castlevania III.
      To be more precise, the VRC6 chip gives you 3 additional channels: two squarewaves, and one sawtooth (used for the bass here)

      Well, not to get you too excited too soon, but i am working on making this a reality (my project is to mix both rondo of blood and symphony of the night into one game, like a "what if konami had tried their hand at making a metroidvania on NES that isn't as shitty as simon's quest ?"). Like i said though don't be impatient, right now i only got the 3 playable characters working, and about 20% of the map done (i'd show a gif, but i'm reluctant to speak of this too much before i finish the project, because i don't wanna get DMCA'd).
