I've been planning on covering this song for as long as I've been making music, and I actually made an attempt shortly after I uploaded my Smeared Graffiti PCE cover (which you can listen to here: youtu.be/PySdwTcOUpw )
But I gave up at the time because I deemed it too difficult, and I hope you can understand why just by listening...
But then I got the urge to cover it again recently and here it is! Took a couple of days' work but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!
The original song uses all 8 of the SNES' sound channels, but the song is arranged in a way where there are only ever 6 channels playing anything meaningful at a time, so I didn't need to cut out pretty much anything from this cover, but it doesn't stop there, there were 2 channels playing the percussion through most of the song, so I crammed all of that into a single channel without much of a loss and voila! I got most of the song to play with only 5 channels, and the only times channel 5 was used for anything it was just for reverb, so if I cut it out to play sound effects it wouldn't even be that noticeable!
This is one of my favourite songs from this soundtrack, and I hope you enjoy my cover! ^^

![【PCE】Final Soldier - Dead or Alive (2 minute Caravan) - Game Boy Cover【Deflemask】

I got rid of the noise distortion! Yaaay! And all I needed to do was use a different screen recording software, as in, the same one I was using before...
Anyway, heres another Final Soldier song on the Game Boy, this time its the one that plays in the 2 minute caravan mode! Thats basically a score attack mode, the game gives you a stage and 2 minutes to score as many points as you possibly can with the default weapon, thats the mode, sounds archaic doesnt it? But its actually surprisingly fun to see just how high you can score in it, and its especially more fun when you get to listen to such amazing music while youre at it!
Theres also a 5 minute mode where you play through the same stage with the same goal but you get to see more of it and a different song plays, Ill cover that one on the Game Boy sooner than later, until then I hope you enjoy what you hear ^^
[Edit]
Heres the cover of the 5 minute Caravan mode song I promised: https://youtu.be/pIe_2q8Cf1I
