- I still say a real MD format has to be made, but for Sega 32X, it's a start, despite taking more space than mp3s.

- Please don't confuse inaccurate players with faulty VGM format.
That seems to be the (incorrect) consensus these days. VGM logging specs may be imperfect in hindsight, but no one has proven that these issues (logging rate, DAC stuff) are even audible. All VGMs I've tried play perfectly in Kega Fusion and Genesis Plus GX.

- When is there going to be, xSF\SID style Mega Drive music where it's basically a stripped ROM with only the music data and playback code?
Although I am impressed that, at long last 32X and SegaCD PCM are being thrown on here, maybe I'll finally get to listen to the music off SegaCD Snatcher without having to listen to YouTube video's for that.

- People aren't interested in Genesis/FM synthesis. The sound is too "harsh." People are much more likely to listen to Super Nintendo music, for example, because it's "softer."
Genesis music is gourmet video game music.

Haha, bullshit.

Doubly bullshit. Don't turn this into one of those debates.

- You just did.
Grab someone off the street and make them listen to Dynamite Headdy. Their ears will bleed. Make that same person listen to Plok. The sampled sounds are much more palatable to the untrained ear. One example; you should be able to understand the point.
FM synthesis (YM2612 in particular) is an acquired taste.
"People" as in both the general public and classic video game music enthusiasts. Genesis is less popular.

- "FM synthesis (YM2612 in particular) is an acquired taste." is a different statement to "People aren't interested in Genesis/FM synthesis." I can say very categorically that lots of people are very interested in FM synthesis, a lot of people think using VOPM and TFM are the best means of writing FM chipmusic on windows.

- I never was too into the Mega Drive's FM Synthesis due to how, odd the chip is in terms of sound production compared to the other FM chips, though it's not as *bad* as the OPLL (I'll admit, the only thing that the OPLL sounds good for is Phantasy Star 1), it could of been atleast as good as a YM2151 as far as FM Synthesis could go.
I don't understand what brought about a chip like the YM2612 into play, or why Sega had to use it as the chip for the Mega Drive... I always and still think the "DAC" on it, is extremely crude, but hey, atleast it means you can easily rip the digitized sound off a Mega Drive ROM through hex editing... Since it is 8-bit PCM and extremely simple to figure out.

I guess it depends on what company you keep. It seems like everywhere I go people bash the SNES sound while worshiping at the altar of FM.

- I never said SNES music is bad. It's not nearly as cool. :P
