Metal Gear (MSX2) - Theme of Tara (Sega Master System SN76489 Cover)
14I got a new Master System tracker! ^w^
It's called Sneventracker, and it's basically a modified version of Famitracker meant for the SN76489 rather than the Famicom's sound chips. It's far more reliable than Deflemask, so I'll be using it from here on out (only downside is that it only exports WAV files; no SMS or VGM export)! ^w^
Anyway, I absolutely love Theme of Tara from Konami's MSX2 classic Metal Gear, and I wanted to see what this awesome AY-3-8910 song would sound like on the SN76489 since they're kinda similar (I imagine some would easily mistake the sound of one from the other). This was one of my harder covers because I had to recreate it by ear rather than from a visual aid, though thankfully I recently discovered the sound hardware emulator Hoot which allows me to listen to the individual sound channels of KSS files, which I didn't have the luxury of when I did that Gradius 2 (MSX) cover a while back. I think this one turned out great, and I hope you all enjoy it! ^w^
UPDATE 06-28-2022: I've been meaning to do this for a year, but I've finally set up a system for sharing downloads for my chiptune project files! Here are the downloads for this song: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TRxxJPH1UUyJw7UgCwlvZN_oJrrYZf_q?usp=sharing
