In the previous video, the Dreamcast's startup sound and BIOS software were discussed. A re-creation of the startup sound was attempted. In this video, I correct one of the major mistakes: There are NINE notes in the main melody of the startup sound instead of six.

The previous video: youtube.com/watch?v=4Sl5zH4Fyxk

It's a short video but if you're in a hurry:

0:00 Introduction
0:25 The mistake (only 6 notes)
0:45 Comparison (original and then mine)
1:07 The correction (the full 9 notes)
1:44 Venting frustration
2:02 The revised version of the re-creation
2:16 Conclusion

The correct notes in the Dreamcast startup's melody are:
G#3, D7, E5, B6, B3, B5, E4, E6, and Db7.

There will always be something wrong in every video I make. Corrections will be issued if time allows; otherwise, corrections will be posted in the video descriptions.
