Jaden H. - Intro Song - The Meme Squad Podcast (SnevenTracker SN76489 Cover, Oscilloscope View) @fupaboychris848

fupaboychris "You are currently watching the Meme Squad Podcast. Enjoy!"
here we have a rushed and slightly bad cover of this song that i've been having the urge to cover after the finale of this series happened on sunday (i was there to watch the whole thing)
this was a series that i guess i was a fan of because i had watched small portions of each episode mostly because it featured people in the chiptune community that i look up to and enjoy plus it was funny
this is why when the finale happened i was a bit saddened by it but the last episode was great (especially the ending if you know what i mean)
this took me about an hour to do i think and it sounds alright but i really had to sacrifice the bass if i didnt want to subject myself to the horror that is the sn7's (nonexistant) square bass
and yeah thats basically all i have to say about it

Going Up - TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (SNES) (0CC-Famitracker FDS Cover)

fupaboychris 2020-08-22 | after I had learned how FM worked a couple months back I was curious to see if FDS FM made any more sense to me with that new knowledge (it actually does yeah)
so I experimented with it for a bit and then decided to make this cover bc I thought it would be a great way to practice using it specifically bc of the distortion guitar
at some point even though I was pretty happy with the FDS part of the song I thought the 2A03 sound design was kinda ass and the orch hits were kind of a bitch to do right for whatever reason so I put off on working on it for a while
a couple of days ago I decided to finish the cover and luckily I was able to fix the sound design problems I had while also making some pretty big improvements to the FDS part of the song which I wasn't even planning on making
I'm honestly really proud of how faithful the FDS instruments ended up turning out especially for this being the first thing I've ever completed with FDS and FDS FM
I might make some more stuff with FDS in the future if this one turned out pretty dope I'm sure I could probably do something better with some more experimentation
that's all I'm finna say

Track 2 - Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (Amiga) (0CC Famitracker 2A03 Cover)

fupaboychris 2020-08-21 | I think I'm finally (actually) getting back the motivation to do chip again
while I was looking for unfinished stuff to work on (because of that newfound motivation) I stumbled across this cover which I think I started working on almost exactly a year ago or something like that
even though this is a really short and simple song I never finished it because I quickly lost motivation to do it as I didn't know how to make the lead sound good
once I started working on it again today it took me like 2 seconds to figure out the solution to my problem (using a simple octave arp) and from there it was just a matter of transcribing the rest of the song
that's basically all I have to say about the cover
now even though I got some motivation to do chip again I'm not guaranteeing that I'll be able to finish all the other stuff I was working on a while back anytime soon (I made several big promises in the description of that one Jackal cover and never ended up fulfilling them because of personal reasons)
in any case though just be on the lookout for them

Cave Stage/BGM #11 - Turok 2 (GBC) (0CC-Famitracker VRC7 Cover)

fupaboychris 2020-07-19 | (originally composed by Alberto J. Gonzalez)
alr so this is the basically the first fm thing that i've actually finished
up until this point i had done a bit of experimenting with both the VRC7 and the YM2612 but only ever started one real cover for the VRC7 (which i'm probably abandoning so that i can practice more with the YM2612)
now this was specifically made for the Out of Time chip jam over at the chiptune cafe and i completed it pretty quickly after i started it (in total it must've taken me like 3-4 days)
i'm honestly kinda surprised and grateful that i was able to submit something for the jam since not only had i not submitted in a fat minute but also bc i felt like complete shit the first week of july (which was originally gonna be the week i made an original for the jam) for no apparent reason which left me unmotivated to do anything (even playing games)
making the cover was a pretty good way to settle back in from whatever tf the first week of july was and it was also pretty fun so all in all it was a good experience
just want to end this off by saying thanks to everyone who complimented this cover during the stream and also congratulate everyone who participated in that jam bc the originals and covers this jam were all really good
the stream was dope and im glad i got the chance to see it bc i was tired asf from not being able to sleep yesterday so i could've easily overslept
download: drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1V_ZF3cD45mKJocXja_zC57XA-ea9J2DE
(note for the download - in short cavestage.0cc should be played back with the 0cc/j0cc VRC7 hardware mixing level set to +8.0 decibels, turok2.0cc should be played back with it set to the default of +0.0 decibels)

Jeroen Tel - 64 Dwarfs on XTC (SID) (0CC-Famitracker N163 Replica)

fupaboychris 2020-07-04 | it's been a fat minute since I uploaded something that has to do with Jeroen Tel
this is breaking that long ass streak
just a simple ass thing i started a while back that didn't take me too much to finish and it sounds pretty good (minus that attempt to sample the ringmod instruments from the original using 32 bit waves)
nothing much else that i can add to this description than that so thats about it

Stages 2 and 5 - Jackal (NES) (Atari PoKEY Cover)

fupaboychris 2020-06-17 | finally after 4 months I'm back to posting shit on the yt

now I gotta explain why I haven't been doing covers and shit at all
around the time I posted my last video I started working on a cover for someone and a while after I started another one, but I made pretty slow progress on them
I was kinda busy with school around this time (I don't remember how busy I actually was though), but mainly what was happening was that I was losing motivation to make anything because I just got bored with making covers and chiptune

this lack of motivation was made worse once the quarantine started because at that point I just started playing games every day and because i ended up getting a bit busier with school

I decided to take april off to just do whatever tf i wanted, but mainly during that time i started to learn music theory again because I hadn't done so in a long ass time, started learning how to play the piano, and picked up programming again (I'd seriously been learning programming since the beginning of this year, but I tried it out 3 years ago with barely any success)

i was still wasting time playing games, but at least any time I spent not playing games or doing homework was spent on productive shit
recently I've been gaining motivation because of that break month and the start of summer, and I have some kinda big plans for what I want to do
by the end of this summer I'm tryna post some originals with my newfound music theory knowledge (what I hope to be able to do is work on one or two originals every week or something like that), experiment with more sound chips, and learn sound production because I've decided that I want to take music a bit more seriously than I've taken it so far
so be on the lookout for that shit, hopefully I'll be able to deliver and not disappoint with whatever I make
I don't really have a lot to say about this cover, I started it last year, maybe finished a quarter of it, and then abandoned it until today
mostly just wanted to finish it to get something out so I don't have an excuse for being lazy with yt

that's pretty much all i have to say, there might be some more covers in the near future I'll just have to see if I can finish them

The Office Loader - The Last Ninja 2 (C64) (0CC-Famitracker 2A03 Cover)

fupaboychris 2020-02-02 | (i forgot to add fade out to da video and the audio is a little out of sync but idrc)
got a new cover for you guys except its not really a new cover
i actually started this in like september 2019 and finished it around the same time but never uploaded it
this is part of TakuikaNinja's LN2-A03 collab where we covered last ninja 2 songs on plain 2A03

now the reason i posted this so late was because i actually waited for everyone else to get their submissions done (originally there was a deadline and then the deadline was indefinitely postponed) but so far its still incomplete
a bit ago taku just told us whoever is done could upload it so yeah lol i aint gonna wait no more
this cover is still pretty good there are some things i would probably touch up on if i did it today but i didn't want to change it for consistency's sake

and that's it

Find Our Way (Original, collab w/ marklincadet) (4-N163 0CC-Famitracker)

fupaboychris 2020-01-21 | now this is something you might have not expected from this channel: an original song
I've been wanting to work on original stuff for a while, and when the chiptune cafe hosted their autumn jam 2 chip jam, I did a bit of songwriting
a little after the jam was announced and we could start to work on our submissions, marklincadet approached me and asked if I was going to collab with anybody
I said no because the thought hadn't crossed my mind until that point, but his question tempted me to do a collab as I didnt want to just do a cover for that jam, and eventually we agreed to do a collab submission
however, due to stuff going on in my personal life, I was not really able to work on it as much as I wanted to during the jam, and because of that mark took the job of working on it when I couldnt (actually a lot of the song was written by marklincadet for which I applaud him)
now mark wrote quite a bit touching on the rest of the story and also his own input on the track:
"If you were around during the Autumn Jam 2 stream which this song debuted in, you might have noticed that the song has been majorly revamped since then. Even with the default win on the count of being the only collab entry, fupaboychris and I felt that there was much to add on to it and have decided to take the past two weeks to make it as awesome as we could without the deadlines and irl stuff which got in the way the first time round. This was my first time working with fupaboychris on a song from start to finish, and it is a refreshing experience to send modules back and forth while developing the song's melody and sound design together. Juggling the saw and triangle leads and seeing where they would end up was an interesting challenge, while experimenting with many other little details which we both crammed into the song this time round- way too many of them for me to point out in fact, so I'll let the song sing for itself. I hope you enjoy our Autumn Jam 2 Collab entry, and it's been an absolute pleasure to work with ya, Chris!"
as mark said, I hope you guys enjoyed what we got here, and I also hugely thank mark for making a lot of this collab possible and overall just being a good guy to work with

Jeroen Tel - Closing In (SID) (0CC-Famitracker 2A03 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-12-20 | finally I have finished another cover after idk how long
I was pretty busy during november bc of several factors so I barely worked on anything for da channel
when december started I immediately started doing shit again but I still ended up getting pretty busy doing other stuff so what could've been finished in maybe 2 days ended up taking almost the entire month (since I worked on it periodically)
it doesn't matter how long it took because it turned out really nice and I think it showsI actually technically started this cover last year (one of my first speed 1 covers btw) but I never actually finished it
it sucked in the state that I left it so I decided to completely remake it from scratch (even if I used the old module I would've still changed everything) and here we are

Halloween World - Baby Felix Halloween (GBC) (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-10-31 | in the last video i said i had a "main" halloween cover planned, this is it
i also somewhat implied that i was going to make a few halloween cover but nah bruh im not tryna do that im good
i think this turned out pretty damn good for a quick and dirty cover, there are a couple things i could have tweaked to make it really good but i was not in the mood to fix them i was just tryna get it up as soon as i could since halloween is almost here
and yeah thats basically all i have to say

fupaboychris 2019-10-09 | its october and halloween is right around the corner, so im tryna cover some "scary" songs
i wasn't expecting at all to finish this cover so fast (literally finished yesterday and polished it today) and if im gonna be honest it was an afterthought, this isn't gonna be my main halloween cover, i have another one coming up idk when
I thought of the idea for this cover one day and i thought it would be a good idea and somehow I was more right than I had initially thought
this turned out really nicely imo, da style really is there in this cover
I dont even care that the oscilloscope view ain't that good I just care that the cover came out well
that's all I have to say

fupaboychris 2019-08-10 | got the 6th cover down
if you can't tell by the sound of this particular song, the end of this cover project is right around the corner
by next week i should be done with the entire ost
like the last cover, I am pretty happy with how this one turned out and actually prefer it over the original song

fupaboychris 2019-08-09 | 5th cover time
in this cover i decided to do some things to spice it up (since the song itself is pretty short so i had the time to do it) and these small things made the cover pretty damn good
i think the original song is alright but i like this cover a lot more
again i dont really got much else to say (because theres not really a lot to be said about each individual cover) so thats it

Schiff - Fix & Foxi - Episode 1: Lupo (GBC) (GoatTracker 2 MOS-6581 SID Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-08-07 | onto the 3rd cover of this project
i think this one is just good
Wald und Wiese is still my personal favorite cover from this project, that one I really enjoy but this one ain't bad
so far the biggest issue i've been having is getting the tempo right, i'm not sure how accurate the tempo in this one is to the original but it sounded good enough
hopefully it wont be so much of a problem in the upcoming covers
the last thing i want is to feel like making these covers is a chore aight

Wald und Wiese - Fix & Foxi - Episode 1: Lupo (GBC) (GoatTracker 2 MOS-6581 SID Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-07-31 | the second cover of this project has now been completed
im actually pretty surprised on how well this turned out
i thought the Titel Musik cover was pretty alright but this one is miles better
the only complaints i have with this one is very slight volume balancing issues (pretty happy with that already though) and the tempo i think is a bit janky (i couldnt get the exact tempo from the original in goattracker but its close enough that you get that swing rhythm going)
and thats really all i gotta say about it
updated the .sid and .sng in da drive, download themhere (as of the day of this video's upload it will have both covers i've done so far): drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DHugEW2DREkHTqBq1N6Ick5hcTtF2cJd

Titel Musik - Fix & Foxi - Episode 1: Lupo (GBC) (GoatTracker 2 MOS-6581 SID Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-07-28 | after idk how long we have another goattracker cover
but the thing about this cover is that it is just one of several that will be coming out over the course of idk how long
basically, i will be covering this entire games ost in goattracker (mostly for practice but also because this ost is pretty good, not as good as some of the stuff in spider man gbc which i found out was also made by manfred linzner but its too late)
i was set on doing this when i was in mexico, thats when i discovered this ost
you cant tell me the sound design from manfred linzner's gbc stuff isn't at all close to sid sound design the sid literally fits this dude's stuff like a glove and i will prove that through the rest of the covers im doing of this games ost
so yeah thats why it was perfect for me when i had discovered it back in mexico
i will be posting these covers as they are done, and i am hoping to have all of these tracks on the same .sid and .sng
and thats about all the stuff i wanted to say
im pretty excited for completing this project (if i do)

Stage 2-1 - Mega Turrican (GEN/MD) (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-07-20 | when i had my turrican phase while in mexico (as i had mentioned in the last video), this was one of the songs i found
i instantly fell in love with it and promised myself that i was going to make a vrc6 cover of it when i came back
well the first day i come back i start the cover and i end up getting it finished by the end of the day
i feel very accomplished having finished this cover in just one day because i think it is really good
way better than the last vrc6 cover i did in my own style (the swamps which i kinda like too but not nearly as much)
this cover is making me want to do more vrc6 covers like it now that i know what i am capable of doin wit dis
and thats about all i got to say about this cover

Loader - Turrican 2 (Amiga) (LSDJ GB-Z80 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-07-19 | finally I am back from my one month absence from this channel (ofc due to my mexico trip)
for your patience, I am uploading literally the only thing that I made on lsdj on that trip that I finished
I had a short lived turrican phase while i was on vacation, so because of that I might do more turrican covers (speaking of which all 3 of the covers I started while I was away were turrican covers, I am considering finishing one of them but not the other, I might take it in another direction to flex)
this cover is based on Doric Dream's sid cover of the song (not the right tempo but idc), basically the only reason why I wanted to cover it the original aint that good in comparison imo
and yeah thats about all i have to say
ima have to dip all of next week too for something else (i wont publicly talk about it) so dont expect anything from me until a little over a week from now

Egypt - Asterix (NES) (GoatTracker 2 MOS-8580 SID Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-06-21 | I have unlisted the previous version of this video and uploaded this version that does not feature some nasty audio compression the previous one had
this fixed version would not have been possible without the help of Blue Mario (youtube.com/channel/UCwvtj4ykDlCH92AhJsRHnMA), he was kind enough to fix it for me because I wasnt able to as I am headed for mexico as I write this description up
- original video description -
before I say anything about this cover, I just want to tell you guys that this is my last cover for maybe a little bit over a month
I have alluded to something that I was gonna be doing that would prevent me from using my computer and that i would announce it and i did on twitter
to save you time, basic summary is that I'm going to be in mexico and yeah that's about it
now then
this is my first REAL cover of a song that I've done on goattracker (the last cover was pretty short and simple, this took me a bit more time to do)
I wanted to experiment with waveform mixing and I did a little bit while making this cover but the cover doesnt show it since i only used waveform mixing in the last part of the song
if you saw the preview of this cover you might notice the main part of the song sounds different, at first I used a lead that used waveform mixing but then I ended up switching it out for a plain saw and using that lead for the last part of the song
and that's about all I have to say

The Heat Waves (Ranking) - Super Monaco GP (C64) (3-N163 0CC-Famitracker Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-06-14 | i have been putting this cover off for way too long at this point
i aint gonna lie making this cover felt like a chore
the instrumentation was pretty easy to get down (that might've seemed like it was the hardest part of the cover but it wasn't) but i had a bit of trouble with the tempo of the song using speed 1
that might be my fault because i decided to change the engine speed to 50 hz (since the original runs at PAL speed) and maybe it wouldve been easier to do in speed 1 had i used the default engine speed of 60 hz but im not sure
its not all too bad though
i think the effort i put into this cover paid off as this is really damn accurate to the original C64 version if you havent noticed for some reason
i might do another c64 to n163 cover but the original song has to have something that would make it a bit challenging to pull off on the n163 instrumentation wise (e.g.: it uses filtered instruments) because standard pwm like this is really easy to do on n163
and thats about it
download (.nsf and .0cc): drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fIktZ5Q6ntoxjuKWFXHwlJuEaaKNaSaF
keep in mind that since this cover uses a custom engine speed you might have to alter the settings of whatever nsf player youre using in order to get it playing correctly

Bonus Round - The Smurfs (NES) (GoatTracker 2 MOS-8580 SID Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-06-13 | although this is a very short cover, it is pretty important to me
it marks the completion of my very first goattracker 2 cover
the uninitiated might ask why this is important
well its because 1) it means this is my first ever sid cover (and I fucking love the sid chip, my love isnt as emphatic as some other people's but trust me I really do love it) and 2) goattracker is generally considered really difficult to use especially for beginners like me so to make something that I thought was pretty good impressed me
I have been preparing to seriously grind on goattracker for a bit at this point and now my confidence to do so has gone up after making this cover
however I wont be able to do that due to the thing I might be doing that I talked a little about in the description of the last video
so I guess I'll just grind after I am done with that if I can do it alongside school stuff
and that's about it

Jeroen Tel - Atmosphere (C64) (0CC-Famitracker 2A03 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-06-07 | i have covered yet another jeroen tel song because why not
listened to this sid once one day and then a bit after i started this cover
apparently that was all the way back in very late march according to the file data
this is a very nice song and i think i did a pretty alright cover of it
there are some things that i wish were better about it but as always whenever i want to fix something in a cover i never really know how to fix it
i wasnt originally planning on finishing it until now due to some things that i might be doing in the near future (i wont say anything else about this until i can confirm when i will be doing them, ill probably announce it on twitter, go check it out @fupaboychris and look out for this announcement)
what ill be doing will render me unable to use my computer so be prepared for no covers until like july or august
be on the lookout for another (jeroen tel) cover in the near future as well because im trying to finish some projects that i havent finished before i get to doing that so yeah
and yeah thats basically it

Jeroen Tel - RoboCop 3 (C64) - Title Theme (0CC-Famitracker 2A03 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-05-15 | finally this is now up for you to view and listen to on my channel
this project has kind of been a secret and with good reason
this was my submission to the Chiptune Cafe's Spring Break Party Chip Jam covers section
what i intended to do was basically hide its existence until the day of the stream for the competition and when that day came around I would post it on here as an oscilloscope view
but the day of the stream coincided with the day i had to go somewhere which left me unable to render this video and post it on here
and i dont fw my computer on sundays and mondays for other reasons
and now we're here
this cover was in a 3 way tie for 5th place out of the 18 submissions
i am proud asf for that i did not think i would get that far and i thank everyone who voted for it as their favorite cover
im also pretty proud of this cover
now before you say it i know that this song was featured in the NES version of the game (and that this preceded the c64 one)
ive been knowing that
i really wanted to give that version (and also slightly the c64 version but that version is still better in a lot of aspects) a run for its money while making this cover
and thats all i really gotta say
hope you enjoy the cover

fupaboychris 2019-05-02 | finally i have returned after the mess that was "The Swamps (NTSC Version) - The Smurfs (NES) (updated version) (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)" on april fools day
but this isnt really a cover that i made
as the title implies this is a collab
with who?
well this is a collab between Dr. Z, marklincadet, and myself, my part in this collab was that I made various improvements like adding the portamento on the melody, fixing arps, and doing the finishing arpeggio
ill let marklincadet and Dr. Z do their talking about the project
marklincadet says this: "To this day Verbosity is one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite composers, Alberto Gonzalez, and I discovered in January that it was a favourite of Dr. Z's as well. After introducing me to Famitracker fork SnevenTracker, I put together a quick draft of the song and he suggested we collab to make a proper hardware cover a reality.
Z introduced far better instruments with techniques I had never thought of, which I implemented with help from Alberto's insightful video of the original playing in Cubase. We got pretty far into it, but unfortunately wack time zones and the resulting lack of communication meant work soon ground to a halt- that is, until fupaboychris offered to help out. He managed to single-handedly complete the song in a mere TWO DAYS, for which I am eternally grateful for.
Over the three months and 22 iterations that went into working on the cover Z also introduced me to the amazing Chiptune Cafe where I got to meet amazing people to talk to about my passion, and I wanna thank them for helping to keep my interest in trackers alive. Hope you enjoy the cover!"
and Dr. Z says this in response to marklincadet's commentary: "Another reason I lost interest in the collab was because I had made a few mistakes that I wasn't sure how to fix, not only did the snares cut out, but the lead had incorrect sliding notes. However Chris is better with trackers then I am, and so managed to fix them, and even found a way to make the final part of the song echo with one channel where as the original song had 3 channels doing the echo, so I'm very happy he finished this, overall this was a 3 person project and I'm very happy about it"
i already did a bit of commentary for myself about this project but a little more wont hurt
how did i get to helping out with this project?
well its simple, one day in the aforementioned CC discord server (probably about 2 or 3 weeks ago), marklincadet mentioned the project
i had heard about it previously (probably around the time that the whole famicommodore fiasco was taking place) and at that time i was interested in it because it seemed pretty ambitious
so then i asked if i could finish it, as he mentioned it in reference to the slow progress that was being made on it, he said yes, as long as Dr. Z accepts
you can imagine what happened afterwards
and since this description has been sufficiently long thats all im gonna say about this project

The Swamps (NTSC Version) - The Smurfs (NES) (updated version) (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)

and yeah that's about it
I hope you guys enjoy the new channel redesign!

Reyn Ouwehand - Intro Part 1 - Flimbos Quest (C64) (0CC-Famitracker 2A03 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-03-24 | ayy 2 videos in 2 days again
I forgot when was the last time that happened
here we have another cover im really proud of (definitely a contender for one of the best 2a03 covers ive ever made)
started this maybe 2 weeks ago and worked on it on and off during the weekends
i honestly wasnt expecting to finish it today but i did so now you are seeing it
i might cover some other song from this game (really considering doing the title theme but idk maybe i might do a different song or more songs than that) because the soundtrack is real nice
and yeah thats about all there is to say

Jeroen Tel - Title Theme - Hot Rod (C64) (0CC-Famitracker 2A03 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-03-03 | wow i got 2 jeroen tel covers done in the span of 2 days
its like my birthday man
i am incredibly proud of this one
its my best 2a03 cover yet and because of my emotional connection with the 2a03 that title makes it even better
unfortunately i didnt really know how to implement some instances of ringmod from the original since the 2a03 cant do ringmod so i just left them out
other than that the volume balancing is pretty alright but i really think the instrumentation is good
this has to be the longest cover of a song from a game ive done so theres that accomplishment too
overall, im very happy with how this turned out, i dont really know how i couldve improved certain things that i did

Jeroen Tel - Track 7/BGM 5 - Katharsis (GBC) (SnevenTracker SN76489 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-03-02 | this was a totally unplanned cover that i finished in like 2 hours today
i dont really know how it came into fruition i cant remember the exact moment i thought this would be somewhat of a good idea
now it wouldnt be very far off to assume that anyone who watches this video would not be familiar with this song or the game that it comes from
well katharsis is a gbc game that was never released
the soundtracks of 3 unreleased games composed by jeroen tel were ripped by both DillyDylan and DevEd, this song comes from one of them (gamingalexandria.com/wp/2019/02/17/assets-jeoren-tels-lost-music-binaries-gbc)
it was brought to my attention by dillydylan who posted this link in the chiptune cafe server
out of all the songs i heard this was my favorite
and yeah thats basically the backstory as to why you are just now hearing this song even if you are a hardcore jeroen tel fan
the only place where you can find the soundtrack of katharsis and the other unreleased games on youtube is on ozaleto's youtube channel, he was cool enough to make oscilloscope views of the soundtracks (the katharsis one is located here: youtube.com/watch?v=ahNgmSfSjzc)
and yeah thats basically it
sn76489 is a good fit for this song i think
i like the percussion i made for this song

Energy Zone (Stage 6) - Contra (NES) (Deflemask HUC-6280 PC-Engine Cover, Oscilloscope View)

fupaboychris 2019-02-23 | i said i was going to make a huc-6280 cover since the huc was the next chip on my list of chips to experiment with (the previous one being the gb-z80 chip or the gameboy sound chip)
well its taken me way too long to start and finish one and then upload it to youtube but i finally did it
actually i started this cover today and finished it today
and this isnt even my first huc cover
to put into perspective how much ive been putting this off i have 3 other ones that i didnt finish, only one of which i will probably finish sometimes, the earliest one being created at the beginning of this month
anyways, next chip on my radar is ay, but again, don't expect my next cover to be an ay cover, i want to make sure it turns out good
as always you can find the link to this cover on my drive: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S4kHWwDpcHjjD8WEU1-g2OaEQtyE2NDs
some of the wavetables i used were created by michirin (until the point where i can actually make my own wavetables im probably gonna be using michirin's wavetables), go check her stuff out its good
oscilloscope view was generated by sidwizplus, yadda yadda yadda

Grass Land - Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) (LSDJ GB-Z80 Remake)

fupaboychris 2019-02-10 | today I spent a couple of hours learning the basics of lsdj and I made this shitty little thing to test it out
turned out alright
I used my replica of the song (which is on my channel it's one of my older videos) extensively to make this because why wouldn't I I'm lazy
I used the "triangle" wave (really just an overdrive sine wave) used in super mario bros deluxe in this remake so that it wasn't too similar to the original song
and I had to use the noise channel for all the percussion, I made all of the percussion myself with the knowledge I had of the noise "shapes" but I couldn't do the bongos without having to disrupt the bassline so I did away with them
the toms at the end sound a little awkward I didnt really know how to replicate them somewhat ok and I also just used the overdrive sine used in the bassline for them
and yeah that's about it
I might play around some more with lsdj in the future but right now my priorities are set on doing covers with new soundchips
my first HuC6280 cover that is going to be uploaded the channel has been long overdue due to me being busy with school, me being straight up lazy, me not working enough on it when I have the time to do it, and not knowing what song to cover (someone informed me on a discord server that a song I had started a cover on with the HuC was already covered on the HuC in a pc engine port of the game the song was from and then I stopped work on it and then after that I couldnt find a good song to cover but dont worry I found one and i started a cover on it today)
link to the .sav of the lsdj rom (I used a rom of lsdj version 5.3.6 that I found on archive.org so if you want to load this .sav you should probably download that rom): drive.google.com/folderview?id=1o_W86WiYanm7ObBIhXl70HJ7gzZIHT0A
at some point I might update the link to have an .lsdsng instead of the .sav of the rom I'm not sure

Big Trouble in the Kitchen (BGM 2) - Monster in My Pocket (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-02-03 | wow would you look at that a double upload on my 1 year anniversary of using famitracker and therefore starting my chiptune journey
and guess what
im uploading a cover of a song from the same game that the song i covered and uploaded to youtube not to long ago today was from
i started this cover in december without knowing the fact that febuary 2nd was the day of my 1 year anniversary
but then when i resumed work on this cover like last week i realized this and then made it my mission to finish it so i could upload it today
this was the only thing that was supposed to come out today actually i kinda rushed the other cover on the same day i finished this one because i thought it would be a cool and good idea
i am pretty proud of this cover it turned out pretty nice imo
i actually dont really know what i can fix here maybe i couldve changed the way i used the 2a03's pulse channels but other than that the volume balancing is spot on and the sound design while not making this cover sound like something out of akumajou densetsu is fine by me seeing as how this song has no place in that game to begin with

Twist and Select (Character Select) - Monster in My Pocket (NES) (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-02-02 | today is a pretty special day to me because today exactly one year ago i uploaded to youtube my first famitracker video which was a pretty bad replica (as i like to call them) of this exact same song
its pretty hard to believe for me at least that it was only last year when i officially started using famitracker and started my chiptune journey
i had toyed around with it very slightly before then (in 2017) and had tried to make some covers with no success because i didnt have any experience at all
i may think now i suck compared to other people in this community that i look up to but back then i was way worse
im honestly kinda confused of how i got to this point in a year but im not complaining its been a wonderful ride
what i did for this cover was i literally made a copy of the .ftm that had my shitty replica of this song, added another track to it and made this cover
in the download link that i will provide you will find this copied .ftm that has the replica and this cover, the original .ftm with just the replica, and an .nsf of the edited one: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ls5Z0H8qu6sjchOk8WbxMYQ9vHmfn1m0

Deathbed - Super C (NES) (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-01-27 | man im up to no good im back on my famitracker shit
this is one of the vrc6 covers i started in december and finished now
i have some other vrc6 covers that are completely finished but i wont publish until saturday for a very specific reason which i wont go into now
anyways yeah super c cool i made a vrc6 cover of this song with akumajou densetsu instruments (although i wouldnt call this cover an akumajou densetsu style cover i just used instruments from it and didnt really try to make it sound like a song from that game, same goes for the other covers i have, if i really want to go ahead and make akumajou densetsu style covers id do a castlevania song)
the original sounds unjustifiably empty for it being a hard ass song and that vrc6 was enough to make it sound a bit more full
i think i did alright i feel like i maybe couldve done some things differently to make this sound better but like ive said im not a music man i dont know what i could do to make this sound better
anyways links to the nsf and 0cc are here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xW3FAPGeZ1tdzWIZ-H8uPkBXBh5ycJAd

BGM 2 - Sphere Brain (C64) (Deflemask GB-Z80 Gameboy Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-01-20 | as part of my soundchip experiments the next thing i decided to do after the car drivin' cover was to finally give deflemask a shot and make a cover of this song, and on gb because it was the go to for me without a doubt since i already have a bit of experience with the 2a03
why this song though
well i was kind of unhappy with how some of the covers of this song on yt kinda sucked imo (most notably some 2a03 covers)
not that they werent accurate or sounded bad the sound design they used wasnt that great imo
im not tryna imply that my version is amazing or anything like that but i enjoy this more than some of the other covers (keyword some)
and yeah i dont really have anything else to say
maybe i might make more deflemask speed 1 covers since i enjoy speed 1 on some cases (including this one) but i cant guarantee that i will always make them
the next soundchip ill be trying out is the huc-6280 (turbografx-16) but i dont think the next cover i put out will be a huc-6280 cover i have some other famitracker covers that are just WAITING to be finished (most of them are vrc6 covers) so look out for those

Car Drivin (BGM 5) - The Adventures of Bayou Billy (NES) (SnevenTracker SN76489 Cover)

fupaboychris 2019-01-12 | in my new years video i said i was going to experiment with making covers from other soundchips
well i definitely wasn't kidding when i said that because im starting off 2019 with a cover made on something else that isn't a 2a03!
epic!
but just so you know im gonna start off with what i am led to believe are pretty simple soundchips (at least for me, this is only based on music i've heard on them)
so that is why i started with what im pretty sure is the most garbage soundchip in the universe (besides the tia)
if you know the capabilities of sn76489 then you would know what i mean
im not saying by any means all music on the sn76489 is trash because there is such thing as good sn76489 music im just saying the chip itself is trash
and thats why the sn76489 (and the tia) is a great example of how limits are meant to be broken
anyways enough about the chip
i dont really know what else to say about this cover other than im satisfied with what i did
im planning on making a little bit more sms covers (but they're gonna be rare i promise i have other soundchips on my radar)

BGM: Sophia (Take 2) - Gimmick! (Famicom)

Deck the Halls (0CC-Famitracker 2A03 Cover, NSFPlay Synthesia View)

fupaboychris 2018-12-22 | this was an unplanned cover that i ended up finishing in like an hour or so earlier today
the reason i decided on making it is because of two youtubers which im subbed to (tobikomi and wavetable guy) made some covers of classic christmas songs on various sound chips and that inspired me to make this cover, that urge to make this cover made me have to postpone another cover i was working on (i can't guarantee that i will finish it soon because i have to go to palm springs on sunday but good progress has been made on it already so if im quick enough that will be uploaded tomorrow)
i think this cover turned out alright
there are some things that could be improved but it was good enough for a quick upload
i was trying to upload an oscilloscope view of this song but that didn't work out so well
i wanted to use sidwizplus and it worked for the preview perfectly but when i rendered it all it did was spit out a blank video with the audio so i ditched that and i couldn't make an oscilloscope view that i was happy with using ovgen so then i just ditched the whole idea of making an oscilloscope view of this completely
and yeah thats basically it

Jeroen Tel - The Flash (SMS) - Title Theme (Atari PoKEY Cover)

fupaboychris 2018-12-14 | I've been meaning to cover a Jeroen Tel song for a while and I've also been meaning to experiment more with raster music tracker
that's why this ended up becoming a thing
all of the instruments used in this cover were made by me, I needed practice making instruments of different varieties
and I experimented with bass and percussion on the same channel, as well as the high pass filter (i used it mostly because i didn't want it sounding too much like the original, otherwise there wouldn't be a point in making the cover in my eyes)
that's kinda it
pretty happy with how this turned out, i don't really think i could've done much to improve it, and yap
again, rmt users, give me some feedback on how i did, because i'm tryna make PoKEY covers that don't sound like trash

(reference: 2a03 - first 5 channels, master audio file - 6th channel, n163 channels - last 6 channels)
i really like this song and this cover of the song made by vinylcheese (god) so when i found out that he uploaded a bunch of his nsfs to his dropbox it was only natural that i would make this
i didnt plan on uploading this because i kinda dont like the idea of uploading other peoples stuff on my channel but now i am because i really like how the video turned out
i dont really know how good the visuals are compared to other people so if you see something that you think could be improved tell me

Stream - Castlevania III - Draculas Curse (NES) (Atari PoKEY Cover)

fupaboychris 2018-11-10 | i wanted to start dabbling in some trackers outside of famitracker so my first choice was to try out raster music tracker (i would really like to try deflemask out next for gb and huc6280 covers, i'd have to learn quite a bit if i want to do sid and sega yamaha fm chip covers that sound good)
it was pretty confusing at first but after some experimenting with it i managed to figure out pretty much everything that i needed to know to use it okay and then i made this cover
i think i did pretty farking good for my first cover at least
now it took me a bit of time to choose what my first rmt cover would be
i wanted to do a song in speed 1 but honestly i dont know how rmt users do speed 1 you don't have nearly as much convenience as ft which lets you do stuff more freely and efficiently
idk i think ill get used to it at some point but for now im gonna be a little bitch and use baby speeds and instruments
i cant really remember what other ideas i had for songs at this point but at some point i thought of doing a castlevania song so i tried finding a castlevania song that hadn't been covered in rmt before
i didnt want to do castlevania 1 songs because they're kinda boring and there was some castelvania 2 songs i wanted to do and actually started but i fucked them up on the speed because i was still stupid
and yeah then i chose this song because it was good and it wasnt boring plus it hasn't been covered before in rmt
i think i had the most trouble with getting the bass to sound good even though its not a very significant part of the song
i had to play around for a bit to get something that i actually didnt hate
the percussion i stole from the instrument pack included with rmt
and thats pretty much it
if you are a rmt user watching this video and you think you're pretty decent with it please let me know what you think about this cover because i need some feedback to help me get better at rmt
so thats it for yet another long ass unnecessary description

The Swamps (NTSC Version) - The Smurfs (NES) (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)

fupaboychris 2018-10-27 | it feels good to finally upload a real cover after so long
this didn't take that long to make either to so that's epic
basically two weeks ago i heard this song again after a long ass time and thought "damn, i should cover this"
then i checked to see if anyone had done covers of any sort of this song before and thought "damn, i should cover since there is no covers of this song outside of ytpmvs"
then while i was making this song i thought "damn, i chose a good time to cover this since its almost halloween and this song is kinda eerie but mostly energetic"
after that i made it my mission to finish this cover before halloween and i fulfilled that mission
and now we're here
i was debating over whether or not to upload this on halloween because of that but i also kinda wanted to be a showoff about this cover because im pretty proud of it also i dont want this channel to be dead for much longer
i chose the ntsc version because it's better imo (even though the pal version is the way it was intended to be played, if you want to harass me for choosing the ntsc version to cover download the 0cc which im leaving here, set the detune settings to -1 semitone, change the engine speed to 50 hz and bam now you can shut up)
anyways, yeah i think i did very nicely on this cover considering the fact that i still don't have any musical talent
you know its got some sexy pwm action for the lead, triangle + sawtooth bass, overkill drums (triangle + square + noise), and some other things, all of which make this song more energetic and full imo
it was so good for me that i decided you know fuck it lets just put an oscilloscope view of the song on the video of the tracker because i love it so much
im gonna stop gushing about this cover (but i genuinely am very proud of it, i don't know what you guys will think you know all criticism is welcome), and now i will leave you with a link to download the .0cc and the .nsf

Intro - Jackal (NES) (0CC-Famitracker VRC6 Cover)

fupaboychris 2018-09-22 | here's a little quickie for you guys
this is my first real vrc6 cover
awhile back i did a replica of beginning from akumajou densetsu (the japanese castlevania 3 for the uninitiated) so i could do some vrc6 shit with the instruments i would get from it
i ended up not doing anything with it until a couple of days ago when i started this cover
i worked on it little bit by bit since wednesday until today where we have this final product
it is kinda lazy imo i just used some vrc6 instruments from that ftm i made and made it sound a little bit fuller with one of the 2a03 pulse channels and bam we have a cover
i was planning on having a cool arpeggio (not an arp i designate them as two different things) in this shit but in the end i couldn't figure out how to execute that good so yeah
i will do some more covers with vrc6 of konami stuff particularly starting with some more jackal stuff
so yeah thats pretty much it

BGM 2 - Silver Surfer (GB Style, 0CC-Famitracker 1-N163)

fupaboychris 2018-09-19 | tim follin did actually touch a gameboy but the only gameboy stuff from him i heard on gb was actually pretty bad so this is a bit overkill...
here we have another filler because this isn't really a cover i guess but i really enjoyed working on it
it's a gameboy style "cover" of this lovely song from silver surfer
this is my first public usage of speed 1 (im working on another speed 1 cover but i keep procrastinating on it) and honestly it's nowhere near as scary as i once that it was back in the day it is a breeze
it's also really fun to do speed 1 stuff so expect some more of that
now before any of you accuse me of using nsfimport to get it to speed 1 i didn't you can tell by the smooth transitions and lack of pitch effects and all that (but i did and have been using nsfimport for a while for instrument envelopes so yeah)
anyways, you can't have custom wavetables on the nes without the n163 (yeah this isn't a real gameboy cover although it could be if i coverted the nsf to a gbs but i don't know how to do that)
because i got the idea to do this cover from a guy named JIR-0 who did a gb style cover of bgm 1 from the same game (which is good go check it out) i also stole the vrc6 sawtooth wave from his module but i could not let myself use anything else but a square wave for the tone kicks and snares so i ditched the other wave he used for that
and finally i used some harsher gameboy style noise drums from ottifanten kommando stortebeker by using the gbs converting a track into an ftm by using gbsimport and voila
that's it for this long ass essay description i uploaded the ftm on my google drive which is located at: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bz97S1tQMiU7nilvfVR0FQUigI3d9X1i
i was going to upload the nsf but the nsf is gay when it came to the n163 part of the song i'm not an n163 expert so i don't know what's wrong and won't do anything
for real this time, that is all

Forest - Mole Mania (updated version) (0CC-Famitracker 2A03 Cover, Oscilloscope View)

fupaboychris 2018-09-09 | so it's been a quite a while since i've uploaded a video
i said in some previous video while it was still summer that i was going to start high school and naturally i have and because i started school again i've lost free time
but this time around it's been a shit ton of free time
at this point it's a luxury for me to do something fun (to me at least) on a weekday and now i can only do shit on the weekend
so yeah, that kinda sucks but its alright because at least that means i will be able still do famitracker things, just not as frequent as before
anyways, i have 3 things that i'm kinda excited about in the works, i still don't know when they'll be out and i won't say because i can't guarantee it because again i have school
so this video will just act as a filler
after i uploaded the original version of this cover i kinda felt unhappy with it because i thought that i could do better than what i came up
so today i didn't try at all to make it a better cover and instead tweaked it a little just to make some content to upload
even though i just got done talking smack about this new version i will say yeah this is a little bit better than the old one
i also did an oscilloscope view of the song instead of recording the program because then you get better audio and because the pattern editor has barely changed
so what's new
this is what's new
- hi hats and better drum instruments (both the noise and triangle drums)
- making the chord instruments in several parts of the song the same as in the original song
- making the toms square waves instead of triangle because square toms are always better
- fixing the echo in the last part
- fixing some of the parts because i messed up on them by using the notes i had in my memory which were wrong
and that's pretty much it

Mario Bros. Classic Bonus Round - Super Mario Advance (Famitracker 2A03 Cover)

fupaboychris 2018-08-10 | it occured to me a couple of days ago that my cover of the mario bros classic stage theme 1 got pretty popular at least for me surpassing over 100 views when a comment made on that video brought it to my attention again
so then i got the idea of "well why not cover the rest of the mario bros. classic soundtrack"
this stems from the fact that the whole soundtrack is made in the same style, so i can literally just use the instruments i made to make the stage theme 1 cover to make the other songs (which i dont even think there are that many other ones to begin with)
so not only would it be fast to make while also being easy to get it right, but it can also maybe attract some more views which is something that is good right
so yeah, that's my game plan for now
it wont take super long for me to finish all of them, i think at the very least it should take maybe 2 weeks for me to do it since im starting school pretty soon and also because of other things i wont talk about here (it's not serious so don't worry)
i will also replace the mario bros stage theme 1 ftm on my google drive with an ftm with both of these songs as well as the name of the next song i'm doing, im hoping to have all of these songs on one module and one nsf by the end of it
anyways, since i already talked a shit ton about that stuff, i will briefly talk about this song
i'm pretty happy on how it turned out, in most parts it sounds much more clearer than the original version which is what i'm aiming for with all these covers
some parts don't sound completely faithful to the original imo but i didn't care about them enough to fix them
and yeah, thats basically it for this essay
again the google drive link where i have most of my stuff will have the link to the ftm with those songs

Fuzz Power (JP Mix) - Action 52

fupaboychris 2018-06-28 | Music: Fuzz Power (JP Mix)
Composer: Ed Bogas
Playlist: bit.ly/2lIgcY8
Platform: NES
Please read your mom's description.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
look it's another one of these siivagunner copycat videos
i've been wanting to do one on fuzz power x artificial intelligence bomb for a pretty long time because a long time ago i started a replica of fuzz power to make this but i never finished it until now
the reason i even wanted to do it is because i thought the last part of the song kinda sounded like artificial intelligence bomb
i'm honestly still pretty surprised on how well it actually worked out
anyways hope you liked it or something
im going to use the rest of this description box to tell you that because im lazy at this point im just going to put the link to my collection of ftms i've uploaded on google drive in the description because it's easier that way

and yeah that's it
Original Song: Fuzz Power - Action 52

Buttville - The Descent - Earthworm Jim (2A03+MMC5 Famitracker Cover)

fupaboychris 2018-06-20 | so I've always really liked this song and I tried covering this song a long time ago (probably around the time after i finished making the hippie battle replica) but i wasn't very good at famitracker at that time because i had just started trying to get good at it i guess and i didn't finish anything at that time
the dpcm part was easy but the problem that i had was with the bassline because i wasn't good at placing notes in the correct place or knowing the best speed to put the module at so i failed miserably
fast forward to now and since i actually know how to use the damn program at this point i had a breeze doing the bassline and pretty much everything else
so yeah there you go
this cover is based on the genesis version of the song because it is better imo compared to the snes, another name for this song is Use Your Head
this is also the first cover i've done with an expansion chip, i chose mmc5 because in the middle of making this cover (after i did the bassline and drums) was that it didn't sound very full it sounded pretty empty and thats because 2 of the channels of the yamaha chip in this song were helping the bassline with a different guitar sounding instrument so i added the mmc5 chip because i wanted to use an instrument from Mother and it added 2 extra channels which would actually be able to use that instrument I wanted to use
and yeah that's basically all i have to say
again i'm too lazy to upload the module and nsf to google drive and link them here, once someone asks i will link them here i promise
