Dragon Ball Z - CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA (English TV Size Edit, 4K 35mm Scan)

BigTaste 2024-10-04 | A couple of days ago, @KinekoVideo posted a native 4K scan of the first 35mm film reel for "Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Battle!! The Three Great Super Saiyans," which included, for the first time, a completely native 4K version of the first opening, "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA." This reel also included a music/SFX-only track, which included a full TV size instrumental.

I've taken the liberty of updating my original TV Size edit of Hironobu Kageyama's English version of the song with the provided instrumental and syncing it to the 4K footage.

Reuploaded to fix timing issues.

Sonic & Knuckles Collection Fixed General MIDI Soundtrack (Part 1: Sonic the Hedgehog 3)

BigTaste 2023-10-03 | Revamps of the original S&KC MIDIs to make them closer to the original Mega Drive tracks.

Used the prototype versions of the soundtrack due to limitations of the MIDI format, which is a likely reason why these versions were used for the original game.

Roland SC-88 used for instrumentation.

Sonic Superstars - Speed Jungle Zone Act 1

BigTaste 2023-09-23 | Recently, the official Sonic channel released all three act themes for Speed Jungle Zone in Sonic Superstars. However, Act 1 was heavily trimmed down, so I tried to bring it closer to how the full song will sound, using the Nintendo Direct trailer and Gamescom footage as reference.

Update 10/13/2023: You can stop watching this one, I've got the original uncut track here: youtube.com/watch?v=ePq6m8bcgiI

J.League Pro Striker (Prototype) OST - Title Screen

BigTaste 2023-08-23 | The title screen music from the Sega Shinsaku Soft build of J.League Pro Striker.

Rather than the 16-bit version of the official J.League song "Born to Win," this build uses the song "Blue Spheres" from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Interestingly, this game predates Sonic 3 by over a year. However, considering this song's appearance in SegaSonic Bros. a year prior, it is likely it was made as a stock song for Sega developers to use. Tomonori Sawada and Sachio Ogawa are also composers for Pro Striker as well as Sonic 3.

This song was not ripped from an actual ROM, rather it was done by porting the November 3rd prototype of Sonic 3's version of the song to Pro Striker's sound driver. No actual ROM has been discovered at the time of writing.

Unknown from M.E. (Hybrid Mix feat. BigTaste) - Sonic Adventure 2

BigTaste 2023-02-26 | Sonic Adventure 2's version of Unknown from M.E., Knuckles's theme song, with the rap vocals of the version from the first Sonic Adventure game, performed by Dred Foxx.
Made this because Hunnid-P is a bad person and while I do enjoy the instrumental from the SA2 version, I absolutely hate the lyrics.

Lyrics:
(Okay)

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath
First test, feel the right, than the worst's left

Born on an island in the heavens
The blood of my ancestors flows inside me
My duty is to save the flower
From evil deterioration
Yeah

I will be the one to set your heart free, true
Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits that's in you

Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct,
Are the elements that keep me going
I am fighting my own mission
Nothing's gonna, stand in my way, no

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath
First test, feel the right, than the worst's left

Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others
I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy
This is my planet, gonna fight for my destiny

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles

I will be the one to set your heart free, true
Cleanse yourself of evil spirits that got in you

I have no such things as weak spots
Don't approve of him but gotta trust him
This alliance has a purpose
This partnership is only temporary, oh

Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others
Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
This is my planet, I shall not surrender

I'm the new porcupine on the block with the buff chest
Out in the wilderness with the ruggedness
Knock, knock, it's Knuckles, the bloat thrower
Independent flower, Magical Emerald holder
I'll give you the coldest shoulder
My spikes go through boulders, that's why I stay a loner
I was born by myself, I don't need a posse
I get it on by myself, adversaries get shelved

(Uh) Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others
I get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy
This is my planet, gonna fight, ah
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others
Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
This is my planet, I shall not surrender

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath
First test, feel the right, than the worst's left

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath
First test, feel the right, than the worst's left

Green Hill Zone (DX7 Mix v2) - Sonic the Hedgehog

BigTaste 2023-02-20 | Version 2 of the DX7 Green Hill Mix, since I didn't like how the first one sounded. There might be a slight amount of noise in the background due to this being recorded off of a cassette tape.

Inspired by the Rockman 2 demo tracks, the 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog commercial track by Masato Nakamura, and a friend of mine's own DX7 Green Hill arrangement.

Super Mario 64 Early Footage: Interview with Hiroshi Yamauchi

BigTaste 2021-02-22 | This is early footage of Mario 64 seen on ABC (Asahi Broadcasting Corporation) in an interview with the late Hiroshi Yamauchi, former president of Nintendo and predecessor to Satoru Iwata.

The footage seen here is what Spring96 is aiming to recreate.

Note the difference in the instruments for the Wing Cap theme, the presence of the "Ya-hoo!" sound effect, the Goomba texture, the method of defeating Boos, and layout of Big Boo's Haunt.

prototype pokémon names

BigTaste 2021-01-09 | the original english names of a few pokémon.

probably the main reason i stopped working on this

BigTaste 2021-01-07 | i ported over the localization proto hack to the newest commit of the pokered disassembly. i think i found the reason why i stopped working on it.

a hack from early 2019 that never got finished

BigTaste 2021-01-07 | this was supposed to be a recreation of localization prototypes of pokémon red and blue, but it was abandoned.

all i had to do was change ekans's name to "arbo" and cubone's name to "orphon" as well as other text-related changes, edit the battle HUD, and change the copyright text. i think i just lost interest in this hack and stopped caring about it. plus the fact that i hated working with assembly.

that one shindou hack i did once

BigTaste 2021-01-06 | i completely forgot about this hack.

it has english text (with some bugs), the BLJ, removed mario portamentos, and rumble support
