This is a song I covered back in 2018. Original song was made by the collaborative efforts of Pegmode, Tobikomi, kqa (Quirby64), and JRH. Shortly after I uploaded this cover, I realized that I missed a note, which first plays at around the 1 minute and 15 second mark. The module I have for the original song didn't have this note. I remember following its development that year over on the Meme Squad Discord server (now called the Chiptune Café), and I believe that note was added before it was posted on Battle of the Bits. I added this missing note sometime in 2019. In 2020, I decided to swap around the channels on the VRC7. The original composers intended on "destroying" DefleMask's SID exporter with this song, and I decided to cover it on VRC7 to cause further "destruction."
The audio was also recorded from Dn-FamiTracker v3.0.0. This FamiTracker fork has a different emulation core for the VRC7, so you can hear how this song has been affected by that. At least one of the custom patches is a little off, but I do like how the saxophone patch sounds with this emulation core. There are discrepencies between how Dn-FamiTracker and NSFPlay emulate the VRC7, so the patches will sound different if played on the latter.
Original song: youtu.be/Ktjew1YPyyw

![Spades Archive Tunes - The Pre-Chiptune Collection (2014-2017) Part 3
In part 1, I previously mentioned in the description that I had lost access to some songs due to an app expecting me to pay the instrument packs I used for the songs. I got access to them now. All I had to do was go to the Apple website and change my Apple ID, and then go into the app and select the Restore Purchases option. My Apple ID was previously connected to a Yahoo account that I have since deleted, so that might have been why I didnt have access to them for a while. So, I decided to do part 3 of my pre-chiptune collection. I also decided to include some songs that I forgot to put in part 1 and 2. Not a lot here, but at least I can say that I now shared my full catalog of my old non-chiptune songs from 2014-2017.
