The part where it says "By NoteWorthy Composer" and "Generated by NoteWorthy Composer" SHOULD prove it's not a rip, right? The only reason I would use a rip would be so I know what the notes are, and also, rips suck. (Vgmusic doesn't suck BTW. Just because I got banned from ever submitting MIDIs there).

- doesn't prove anything. you can just import then export a midi, and any software-specific markers/copyright messages will be added in the exported midi (in your case, Generated by NoteWorthy Composer -- but other sequencers do it too.)
again, using the rips as references is pointless.

- @Lunar: You check every submitted file to see if its a ROM rip or not? ???
@TheUltimateKoopa: I'm sorry VGMusic does suck, its my opinion on it...
Not everyone has Noteworthy Composer, and so not everyone can check that it was from that.
The link is dead too...
Rips don't suck, Lunar will back me up... Especially VGMTran's exports with DLSs. They sound "Exactly" like the original, if the right bank is loaded into my soundcard...
Even then the Snes rips I have done sound ok too...

- rips are usually obvious :P lots of *2midi conversions leave marker/copyright info, which people don't edit out (and even if they do, there's usually a whole tonne of messy controller data, particularly at the start. i use a hardware synth, and hardware doesn't like tonnes of midi messages happening simultaneously. there's other various tell-tale idiosyncracies that make conversions obvious.)
for vgmtrans rips and the like, most people are stupid and upload raw rips, so obviously the patches and percussion is all messed up. failing that (and this happens rarely), they often sound too perfect, and are by otherwise unfamiliar names (usually fairly suspect names too, like DARKSAMUS_93 or something~)
tldr: basically, i wasn't born yesterday :P

- You can't import or export a MIDI in NoteWorthy Composer. It doesn't keep ANY information like pitch bends, or volume changes or instrument changes etc. It even turns a "quarter note triplet + eighth note triplet" into a "dotted eighth note + sixteenth note" etc.

- Well... sucks for you dude. I'm pretty sure NWC isn't so much intended to be used for General MIDI authoring as it is for score creation/presentation (alike Sibelius/Finale.) If you are correct, then the fact that it doesn't import/export controller/pitch data or take into account slight nuances in rhythm/note duration seems to back that up. That said, I know people who have used it and had good results with it (and I could have sworn their midis had controller data.)

- You can create a new NWC file, and add controllers and export to a MIDI which keeps the controllers, BUT you can't open a MIDI file with it without any controllers going away.

- I wish the ability of conversion didn't exist, but it does. Sure it's kinda cool, but yeah, and I guess there's nothing stopping people from using conversions in any way..
But, the fact is, if you do use conversions, you can sure feel proud that you did all the work yourself.
Incase you didn't guess, *sarcasm*.
Not having a go at anyone :).
Just saying.

I usually find myself annoyed when I do more work than necessary, not proud... but I guess that's just me.
