Mega Man 9 - NSF? by Rew at 10:13 AM EDT on September 24, 2008

So, Mega Man 9 was released this week on WiiWare in all its 8-bit glory, including with the good old NES 8-bit chiptunes.

Now am I naive enough to believe that the music for this game can be ripped in NSF format, or because it's not actually from the NES, is that a no-go?

I was just curious about that. ;0)

You're very naive.
Of course there's the possibility of a fanmade NSF (I believe someone on NESDev had made one with 3 tunes from the demo), but ripping proper game music to a NSF is not possible.

No, a NSF for Mega Man 9 cannot be ripped. However, as Knurek said, Acmlm is making a very accurate NSF of the music. I posted some links before, but here they are again:

I really hope that he finishes this project. He has done an excellent job of recreating the music so far.

SivakD from nesdev is making cover tunes of mm9. Check his progress on his youtube channel.

Yeah, I heard those, but I didn't think that they were as accurate as Acmlm's recreations. They're worth a listen though.

Thanks for that vote of confience, Knurek. =P

Anyway, thank you marioman for the links! I'll have to give those a look-see.

I did find this.

FYI, those videos are the aforementioned covers by SivakD.

Hm, two separate people doing the same thing isn't too productive. Acmlm and Sivak should hook up. Also resulting NSFs should be subject to herculean levels of scrutiny until they're as perfect as possible ;) there could do with being a webpage for it, I imagine it's a project many people would be interested in.

We can't rip an NSF, but is there any reason we can't rip the sound files from the game in whatever format they're in now?
