I took a selection of several songs and decided to remix them for older consoles, specifically the Atari 2600, Game Boy, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
0:00 Retro Remixes
0:06 Trainer Battle - SNES
1:45 Uxie/Azelf/Mesprit Battle - Game Boy (Stereo)
3:57 Trainer Battle - Atari 2600
5:36 Route 201 - SNES (Stereo)
6:10 Trainer Battle - Game Boy
7:53 Gym Leader - SNES (Stereo)
Yeah, I know I overdid it with the Trainer Battle, but I like that song a bit. All songs fully comply with the abilities of the consoles they are based on, with the exception of the Trainer Battle for the Atari 2600. I'm not quite sure that it matches the console's abilities.
OK. Now to explain myself. I'll start with the A2600 one. I made it with QBasic for DOS using the PLAY command. I compiled it to an EXE and used WavePad to record the sound.
Second, I created two MIDIs for the Game Boy ones. I then set it up with a NES/Game Boy SoundFont using SynthFont. Piece of cake, because there is a button to mixdown the song.
Now, by far the hardest to do were the three SNES ones. I actually had to strip down several MIDIs, convert them to a special text format, and use AddMusic to import them to a Super Mario World ROM. Then, I had to use an emulator (ZSNES) to dump the SPC file. Finally, I used Winamp to convert it to a WAV.
