So, I believe I need to give context behind this:
"El Diego" is a DefleMask demo song created by Delek, and is included with DefleMask since the release of v1.x.x in April 2021. The release included the long-awaited Neo Geo (though released as payware instead of freeware), and this demo song happened to be for the Neo Geo. The song is named after a famous Argentinian soccer/football player. In September 2021, there was a wave of covers that happened, which was likely started by Mahbod Karamoozian, DeMOSic, and MegaSparky. This was much like the FamiCommodore cover craze of 2019. The covers kept coming and going up until around February 2022.
My version I did in July 2022, well after the wave of covers. Now, of course, the original song was already done on Neo Geo, but I wanted to put my own spin on it. I used Furnace, which includes the YM2610 with the variable ADPCM channel (DefleMask lacks this ADPCM channel, making it more like Neo Geo CD). I used the variable ADPCM channel to play piano chords. My remix is slightly based on Esteban Trujillo's C64 remix (youtu.be/a-CFhb7G4Qs), which a few changes, and it loops rather than it ending.
With that all said and done, all I can say is: Thanks, Deflers of Noice :thumbs_up:
