Since I've been trying to encode the music from every Castlevania game, I'd thought I'd make a thread about it...
Listing and Progress:
NES:
Castlevania 1 - timed and titled from nsf
Castlevania 2 - timed and titled from nsf
(FDS) Castlevania 2 - timed and titled from nsf
Castlevania 3 - timed and titled from nsf (re-encode needed)
(Famicom) Castlevania 3 - manual rip from the sound test, added fadeouts, titled
Wai Wai World 2 - timed and titled from nsf (has 3 remixed tracks from CV 1 & 2)
Arcade
Haunted Castle (just found out about this one o_o; )
MSX2:
Vampire Killer - never heard of this till a few days ago (and quite hard to find a 'copy' of it)
PC Engine:
Rondo of Blood - downloading an ISO for it...
SNES:
Super Castlevania 4 - timed and titled from spc archives
Dracula X - straight encode from rsn archive
Game Boy: (to be done...)
Castlevania: The Adventure
Castlevania 2
Castlevania Legends
GBA: (need to re-encode, volume too soft)
Aria of Sorrow
Circle of the Moon
Harmony of Dissonance
Genesis:
Bloodlines - manual rip from the New Generation beta soundtest, titled (also have a gym encode...)
PSX (to be done...)
Symphony of the Night
Castlevania Chronicles (never heard of this one till the other day too...)
Saturn:
Symphony of the Night (let's see if I can even find this one...)
N64: (to be done...)
Castlevania 64
Legacy of Darkness
PS2: (to be done...)
Lament of Innosence
Curse of Darkness (also for XBOX)
DS: (to be done)
Dawn of Sorrow
Potrait of Ruin
====(some comments on select games)====
Castlevania 1 - Really haven't played that much of it, but I <3 the music
Castlevania 2 - Same as 1, but the FDS and the NES music are great in their own equal rights
Castlevania 3 - Played through the translated rom, fun as hell, too bad the extra sound chip wasn't included for the American release =/
Castlevania 4 - This game is a f'ing masterpiece, in both gameplay and in music
Dracula X - Played through, music is pretty good
Vampire Killer(MSX2) - trying to find this is quite a challenge
GBA series - AoS has the best music of the 3, followed by CotM and HoD (and yes, I like HoD's music)
Bloodlines/New Generation - Beat it, the music is pure awsomeness, the gym rip data is missing information, making the music 'incomplete'; I'd use the vgm rip, but that clips too horribly
====(and here's a few emulation-related questions/comments)====
I'm currently looking for a good MSX/MSX2 emulator, what are the reccommendations? (with the possiblity of sound logging)
What are some good Game Boy emulators that does a decent job in sound logging?
Is there any PSX and N64 emulator that can log sound? (as I can't rip psfs/usf worth crap =/ )
What is the best Saturn emulator out there? (yes, I know they're all crap...)
How's PS2 emulation as a whole coming along?
(and) has sound files been sucessfully ripped from DS games?
======
Along with that collection that I have encoded so far, I've been working on including midi remixes and oc remixes of Castlevania themes (heck, I still have MottZilla's CV theme remix from an old ZC quest of his...) Simply said, I <3 Castlevania music.
