Pac-Man World - Ghost Island (Roland SC-55 MKII) Infomaniac95 2025-03-21 | Did you know I am very autistic about this game and it's OST?It has long since been a want to have good, accurate transcriptions of the Pac-Man World, further compounded by the official remake of the game not being the best in that regard, even after the patch, where the music still isn't entirely there, I find. Armed with a Stereo slightly better quality snippet from Todd Dennis's Demo Reel, and a keen ear, I gave @NUKELEDGE the task of accurately transcribing the song, alongside making it sound good on the SC-55, and he delivered quite well on that!To make the song sound good on the SC-55, some stuff like an Acoustic Bass was layered with the Fretless Bass, and a Marimba layered with the Vibraphone, to give both of those sounds (Fretless and Vibra), a more full sound, akin to the original song. The SC-55 also lacked a Maraca Shake sound, so that was emulated by having a flam'ed Shaker. It all around comes together to make for something great, and I feel confident in calling this transcription quite accurate, and hope folk enjoy using it for whatever it is they please.MIDI Download: maniac95.info/comms_from_nuclear/pmw/Ghost%20Island%20Transcription%20V4.midLossless FLAC Download: maniac95.info/comms_from_nuclear/pmw/rendered/sc55/ghost_island_trim_looped_fadeout.flac
Microsoft Windows ME - Town (Roland SC-55 MKII) Infomaniac95 2025-03-16 | "Add cool MIDI files to replace bad old ones.". I wouldn't call Passport and Canyon bad, but at any rate, one of the MIDI files added from this "cool" batch, was Town. Composed by Nathan Grigg, this song, alongside One Stop and Flourish, replaced the old MIDI files. This song isn't as complex as Flourish and One Stop, but is still a Groovy beat that is a certified hood classic, among a certain few.Lossless FLAC: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Microsoft%20Windows%20and%20DirectX%20SC-55%20MKii/town_trim.flacAll Microsoft Windows and DirectX recordings that I have done can be found here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Microsoft%20Windows%20and%20DirectX%20SC-55%20MKiiAll SC-55 MKii recordings I have done can be found here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuffMore information about this song can be read about, at this link: midis.fandom.com/wiki/TownAll of my Roland SC-55 MKII content can be located in this playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO9XVioHZJH96ocujIFhHSzHNG0UKabiz
A WIP of my Website (maniac95.info) Infomaniac95 2025-02-06 | It's long since been a dream of mine to have a website of my own, but I never had the knowledge and skills to do as such. But what I did know is that I really liked sites, such as the one for Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast, and wanted to make a site like that, to the point where I originally was going to target the Dreamcast, but that probably would have been... too limiting.In the end, after finding out the final version of Internet Explorer 3 didn't support the JavaScript I needed for hi-lighted buttons, I settled on Internet Explorer 4.0, which supports just about everything the site needs! The choice of IE4 also influenced stuff like the dimensions of the site, which is designed to perfectly fit the area usable within an IE4 window, so the user will never have to scroll (which not everyone will have access to on older machines!)I originally wanted to try and make the website dial up friendly, and like... you *can* visit it on dial up, but it's honestly not the fastest experience, mostly due to just how many graphics I chose to use. That's perfectionism for ya... (Doesn't help that while the first 2 pages use GIF and JPEG files, due to being developed for IE3 originally, the rest use PNG when available, since even if they're lower res, I like to use uncompressed graphics when I can)For anyone not visiting on older IE browsers, there's code included so that HTML5 browsers will have compatible versions of the music and sound effects, as well as the Toontown cursor as a bonus. (Which I REALLY wanted in IE4, but that would have needed IE6 at minimum to do ;-;_Oh, on that note, as you can probably tell, the site is basically entirely Toontown themed, with some Club Penguin assets thrown into the mix, combining 2 of my passions from my youth. I've used a green penguin (who I've named Lenny) to represent myself online for a few years now, so it felt appropriate to do for the site.The site was originally being coded by hand, by myself, using John December's HTML 3.2 book and others as reference, but for now, I'm mostly just conceptualizing things, since actually doing the coding is beyond my head. That's where my partner comes in, who has learned a language called PUG, which has made development of the website SO much easier.There honestly isn't much more work left to do, aside from flourishes, and writing the articles. Once all is said and done, the pages will be moved off the beta area of the site, and will be what people see, when they visit!
LEGO Island (Beta 1.0b) - Bad Ending Infomaniac95 2025-01-17 | This ending got a ton of attention, when it was posted in an uncut form by one of the game's composers, Lorin Nelson. For a long while, we only had this cutscene from a VHS capture. But thanks to a Beta build of LEGO Island, which labels itself as 1.0b, we now have the original Smacker for this uncut ending, which I am presenting here for you all to see. I am by no means the first person to post the uncut ending from this build, but I do want to make more people aware of it.The Beta this is from (which I highly encourage you check out, since it has so many differences from the final game) can be found here: legoisland.org/wiki/LEGO_Island#Download
Toontown Online - Radio Tune #2 (Unreleased) (Roland SC-55 MKII) Infomaniac95 2024-11-04 | The unreleased Radio Tune #2 from Toontown Online, transcribed into MIDI form, and rendered out using the Roland SC-55 MKII!This song, and others that mention it, was composed by James T. Sale, but never made it into the final game. For Toontown, multiple composers at a company, Soundelux, were tasked with writing a song they thought would fit for one purpose, with Disney then choosing the song they thought fit best. In the case of this song, it, and it's brother, #1, were to be used for the Estate's Radio items, until it was decided there wasn't enough time or interest in adding in such functionality leaving it unused and unheard, until it was recovered in April 2020 (More details here, if you're curious: reddit.com/r/Toontown/comments/g6yupu/installed_to_insane_discoveries ).This song was transcribed by @NUKELEDGE , who I commissioned to transcribe some Toontown songs, and who I plan to commission again, down the line. He was extremely kind and patient with me, and I'm very happy that he worked with me, until the song sounded just about perfect to my ears.

For Toontown, multiple composers at a company, Soundelux, were tasked with writing a song they thought would fit for one purpose, with Disney then choosing the song they thought fit best. In the case of this song, it was obviously created for whoever the Head Suit (Cog) was at the time it was made in 2001, but obviously didn't fit what Disney had in mind, so it was rejected, until it was recovered in April 2020 (More details here, if you're curious: reddit.com/r/Toontown/comments/g6yupu/installed_to_insane_discoveries ).This song was transcribed by @NUKELEDGE , who I commissioned to transcribe some Toontown songs, and who I plan to commission again, down the line.

Sale, but never made it into the final game. For Toontown, multiple composers at a company, Soundelux, were tasked with writing a song they thought would fit for one purpose, with Disney then choosing the song they thought fit best. In the case of this song, going by it's name, this song came from the era when the Cogs were still called suits. It has a very comical villain sort of sound to it, which perhaps wasn't as serious sounding as Disney wanted, so it got rejected, and never used, until it was recovered in April 2020 (More details here, if you're curious: reddit.com/r/Toontown/comments/g6yupu/installed_to_insane_discoveries ).This song was transcribed by @NUKELEDGE , who I commissioned to transcribe some Toontown songs, and who I plan to commission again, down the line.

Toontown Online - One Big Wacky World (New Installer Theme) (Roland SC-55 MKII) Infomaniac95 2024-10-23 | The New Installer theme from Toontown Online, transcribed into MIDI form, and rendered out using the Roland SC-55 MKII!This song... hoo boy, do I have a story with this song. I have been trying to find the ORIGINAL MIDI for EONS, since in 2014, a transcription of this song was released, which, even to my 11 year old ears of the time, I could tell was not right. This eventually lead to me when I was 17, trying to contact the known Toontown Online composers, discovering undocumented composers, trying to find who made the song, and if anyone had the MIDI (more info here: reddit.com/r/Toontown/comments/g6yupu/installed_to_insane_discoveries ). This went nowhere, and no one outside of Disney would have had the MIDI, since the Flash Installer of the time, used a low quality, 11025hz Stereo MP3, instead of a MIDI file, like what the older installer with Scrooge used. So, that leads me here, being an adult, with money, commissioning my good friend to take a crack at the song. I acknowledge it's not 100% perfect, but I made my poor friend go through 10 revisions of this song alone, and I don't want to trouble them further. Admittedly, this song sounds super cursed on the SC-55 MKII (it sounds a lot closer to the original on GM.DLS, but I'm too lazy to record that, right now), but I'm happy to have this transcription, which is much closer to the original song, and probably wouldn't need much further done to it, if anyone is ever being a mega stickler over accuracy.This song was transcribed by @NUKELEDGE , who I commissioned to transcribe some Toontown songs, and who I plan to commission again, down the line.

Sale, but never made it into the final game. For Toontown, multiple composers at a company, Soundelux, were tasked with writing a song they thought would fit for one purpose, with Disney then choosing the song they thought fit best. In the case of this song, it seems that Disney wasn't too happy with how this song sounded, and instead reused another James T. Sale composition, for the Tug 'O War Minigame. As a result, this song was never heard, until it was recovered in April 2020 (More details here, if you're curious: reddit.com/r/Toontown/comments/g6yupu/installed_to_insane_discoveries ).This song was transcribed by @NUKELEDGE , who I commissioned to transcribe some Toontown songs, and who I plan to commission again, down the line.

For Toontown, multiple composers at a company, Soundelux, were tasked with writing a song they thought would fit for one purpose, with Disney then choosing the song they thought fit best. In the case of this song, it seems that Disney decided that having music play while you're on the phone, buying items, was not a good idea, perhaps thinking it would annoy players? Or they were simply unhappy with what they got, who knows, really?

For Toontown, multiple composers at a company, Soundelux, were tasked with writing a song they thought would fit for one purpose, with Disney then choosing the song they thought fit best.

For Toontown, multiple composers at a company, Soundelux, were tasked with writing a song they thought would fit for one purpose, with Disney then choosing the song they thought fit best.

Banjo-Kazooie ReSampled - Clankers Cavern (Lost Church of Kondo Upload) Infomaniac95 2024-10-16 | This was completed back in April of 2021, but never released. I think maybe I was unhappy with some of the mixing choices of the time, but I honestly can't recall. It would have been posted onto the @ChurchofKondoh , alongside the other "ReSampled" videos I was working on, for Banjo-Kazooie. The track was mixed by @SHUTDOWNOfficial , with stems provided by me. Like with the other ReSampled tracks, there is no ambience, since I didn't know the sources, nor how to mix and loop them correctly into tracks.

Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind - Hill Stream Blues (SC-55 MKII) Infomaniac95 2024-04-08 | So this one is a bit... strange.I was originally just going to use nothing but the SNES sequences for this project, however, when I went to do the song for the first level in the game, I very quickly found out that the SNES versions of most of the songs... did not translate very well to full synths. If you'd like, you can listen to what I mean here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/bubsy_stage_1_theme_norm_sdr_trim_looped_fade_out.flacBecause of the SNES sequence being too empty, I instead turned to the sequence from Super Bubsy. I normally avoid this, since the sequences there are broken, as while they're mostly based off the original pre console tracks, their conversion tool causes instruments to go missing as they play, rendering them effectively useless. However, the first level theme in the game came out unscathed, so I was able to use it's sequence, and then apply the SNES instrumentation to the song, to give a good balance between not sounding empty, while still sounding familiar, sound wise.Sadly, unless the Genesis version of the game can have a tool made to rip MIDI from, this project will probably not go any further The Genesis versions of the songs reflect how the songs were originally sequenced, and are a better pick over the empty SNES versions, and the badly converted Super Bubsy versions. Unless someone makes such a tool on their own (or I pay someone, who knows...), don't expect much more for this game.

D Chadd Portwine, Eric Nofsinger - LEGO Racers: Main Menu (Roland JV-880) Infomaniac95 2023-12-10 | The Main Theme from LEGO Racers, recorded on my own Roland JV-880, as a bit of fun!I got inspired to do this, as some Beta tracks for LEGO Racers got posted, which better clarify what each instrument is supposed to be. The original beta tracks were seemingly done wholely on something like the Roland SC-55, but I don't have desk space for that right now, so, I opted to instead record it on my JV-880. Aside from 2 percussive sounds that the JV-880 with the Pop card lacks (A Short Guiro, and some unknown sound), everything is here, and it sounds pretty nice, at least, to my own ears. Captures the same manic energy as the final song, but in higher quality.

Sound Blaster AWE32 - Dance (CT3980 Bit Perfect Recording) (PROPER DRIVERS) Infomaniac95 2023-11-25 | Dance (as it's called with the MIDI file that comes with the Windows 95 driver CD), recorded from real CT3980 Sound Blaster AWE32 hardware, at a bit perfect 16-bit 44100Hz quality, using my trusty ESI U24 XL!The main recording I could find of this song online sounded a bit lossy, and not the best, and I thought I should go ahead and record this classic demo song on my own setup, for you all to enjoy in the best possible quality.

After Dark 3 (Mac) - On Mighty Toaster Wings (Restored) Infomaniac95 2023-09-10 | The ever so iconic On Mighty Toaster Wings anthem from After Dark 3's Flying Toasters screensaver (specifically the Mac version, as the Windows version uses slightly different instrumentation), fully restored to CD Quality, using original SC-55 MKII hardware, and the original Ensoniq VFX Brass patch!I have wanted to create a restored version of the Mac version of this song for a LONG time, but for a good while, I just had no access to the MIDI data or samples from the Mac version of the song. That is until my great friend fusoxide informed me that they ported the music from the Mac version to Beatnik format. Curious, I asked if they might also know how to export the music and samples into MIDI and WAV format. Not long later, and they did! It is thanks to them exporting that data for me, alongside Milon Luxy for being able to locate where the Brass comes from (It's from the Ensoniq VFX, and is called Unibrass! I had to octave the MIDI notes to replicate the original sample. The sample ripped from the ROM was looped by Milon, and I loaded it into Kontakt 4). It is a dream come true to finally have this done, and I hope you all enjoy the end result!If you would like to check out fuso's works, and keep up to date on what they're currently doing, you can do so by checking out their SoundCloud and Twitter respectively, linked below:soundcloud.com/fusoxidetwitter.com/fusoxideLossless download link: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/After%20Dark%203%20(Mac)%20-%20On%20Mighty%20Toaster%20Wings/on_mighty_toaster_wings_mac_combined_norm_sdr_trim.flacSong stems: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/After%20Dark%203%20(Mac)%20-%20On%20Mighty%20Toaster%20Wings/on_mighty_toaster_wings_mac_sc-55_ensoniq_vfx_stems.rar
Aladdin Restored - Camel Jazz Infomaniac95 2023-08-24 | The Camel Jazz song from Aladdin on the SEGA Genesis, originally composed by Donald S. Griffin, and recorded on genuine SC-55 MKII hardware!The Aladdin Restored project aims to bring songs back to how they were sounding, before they were ported to the SEGA Genesis. Donald S. Griffin, the primary composer and arranger on the game, wrote his songs with a mix of the SC-55, and in one known instance, the K2000. Using a combination of audio from his demo tape, and my general knowledge of the GEMS patches, I am working on bringing these songs back to their original form, for you all to enjoy!For this song, we only have the word of the VGM set to go by that Donald Griffin did this song, and I reckon that info comes from someplace obscure, like an independent e-mail, or YouTube comment. If I find out he didn't actually do this track, I will change the credits! As for the track itself, this is honestly one of my personal favorites from the game, in due part because my friend has been working on some arrangements for a while that sound great.For anyone who wishes to listen to the the Demo Tape audio we have available to us, refer to this link here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/Original%20Demo%20Tape%20AudioDownload for this specific track: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/06.%20Camel%20Jazz.flacAll finished tracks can be found in this folder: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored
Aladdin Restored - Friend Like Me Infomaniac95 2023-08-23 | The Friend Like Me arrangement from Aladdin on the SEGA Genesis, originally arranged by Donald S.

Griffin, the primary composer and arranger on the game, wrote his songs with a mix of the SC-55, and in one known instance, the K2000. Using a combination of audio from his demo tape, and my general knowledge of the GEMS patches, I am working on bringing these songs back to their original form, for you all to enjoy!This arrangement here is the only known song to use the Kurzweil K2000. This is not gear I own for myself, but my good friend @kabulentnought owns a K2000S, so, I commissioned him! Not only to provide multitrack audio that I can mix, but also to recreate the percussion track, which was completely missing from the GEMS data. Using the Demo Tape for reference, and the original song from the movie, with feedback/guidance from myself, here we present this arrangement in all of it's glory! I am beyond happy to have been able to work with Kabulent in making this Restore a reality, and hope you all enjoy it!For anyone who wishes to listen to the the Demo Tape audio we have available to us, refer to this link here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/Original%20Demo%20Tape%20AudioDownload for this specific track: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/13.%20Friend%20Like%20Me.flacAll finished tracks can be found in this folder: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored

Aladdin Restored - A Whole New World Infomaniac95 2023-05-18 | The A Whole New World arrangement from Aladdin on the SEGA Genesis, originally arranged by Donald S.

Using a combination of audio from his demo tape, and my general knowledge of the GEMS patches, I am working on bringing these songs back to their original form, for you all to enjoy!Here's another arrangement of a song from the movie that Donald did! This is a pleasant little arrangement, that, while basic in nature, I think sounds charming on the SC-55. I deviated from the effects Donald used in his Demo Tape (he didn't use as much Chorus as I do), but I think I crafted a nice end result that you all will enjoy!For anyone who wishes to listen to the the Demo Tape audio we have available to us, refer to this link here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/Original%20Demo%20Tape%20AudioDownload for this specific track: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/01.%20A%20Whole%20New%20World.flacAll finished tracks can be found in this folder: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored

Using a combination of audio from his demo tape, and my general knowledge of the GEMS patches, I am working on bringing these songs back to their original form, for you all to enjoy!Here's another original composition from Donald S. Griffin, also featured in his Demo Tape! I consider this a huge upgrade from my previously unreleased old version of this song. It's a very fitting fast paced track for the Carpet Ride, which is an infamously hard segment in an already hard game. I hope you all enjoy it!For anyone who wishes to listen to the the Demo Tape audio we have available to us, refer to this link here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/Original%20Demo%20Tape%20AudioDownload for this specific track: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/12.%20Rug%20Ride.flacAll finished tracks can be found in this folder: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored

Using a combination of audio from his demo tape, and my general knowledge of the GEMS patches, I am working on bringing these songs back to their original form, for you all to enjoy!For this video, I have combined both variations of Arab Rock into a single video. This song was pretty easy to figure out and get sounding good, though the percussion mapping is somewhat guesstimated, since the song doesn't play for long enough on the Demo Tape to hear all of the percussion. I got really in-depth with the Reverb and Chorus effects here, and am overall quite happy with how this track turned out.For anyone who wishes to listen to the the Demo Tape audio we have available to us, refer to this link here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/Original%20Demo%20Tape%20AudioDownload for this specific track: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored/11.%20Arab%20Rock%201%20&%202.flacAll finished tracks can be found in this folder: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Aladdin%20Restored

It is thanks to Yorke that this video you see here is possible, as without them providing the MIDI file for this song, this recording would have never happened! I originally didn't even think of working on this song, as I thought it wasn't possible, but as I was talking to Yorke on recording some other songs they made, they sent this my way, and I knew I had to record it immediately!

Monopoly Deluxe - Opening Song (Cool Spot Parade Tune Origin) Infomaniac95 2023-04-05 | The Opening song from Monopoly Deluxe, as heard on a Roland SC-55MKII, recorded in 24-bit Lossless FLAC!This happy little song here by Donald Griffin is the song that was directly lifted from Monopoly Deluxe, to then be used in Cool Spot as the Parade Tune... without credit. Well, let's fix that, and get the facts out there, cause Tommy Tallarico's lies must be torn down! Anyhow, the SC-55 is the machine this song was originally made in mind with, so the extracted MIDI data (thanks so much for the extraction script, DKDave!) works like a glove, complete with panning and reverb data!You can download the song in lossless from here: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Monopoly%20Deluxe%20Opening%20Song/Donald%20Griffin%20-%20Monopoly%20Deluxe%20-%20Opening%20Song.flacIf you want something that sounds closer to the Parade Tune from Cool Spot, here's the song with the sound effects track disabled: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Monopoly%20Deluxe%20Opening%20Song/Donald%20Griffin%20-%20Monopoly%20Deluxe%20-%20Opening%20Song%20(No%20Effects%20Track).flacSong stems, MIDI data, and the original recording from Donald Griffin's website, can be all found within this folder: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Monopoly%20Deluxe%20Opening%20Song
Pac-Man World Stereo Tracks - Todd Dennis Demo Reel Infomaniac95 2023-04-03 | A long time ago, on Todd Dennis's website (the composer for Pac-Man World), he hosted MP3 files, which showcased some of the music he did for games. His site has been lost for years, however, thanks to a user on Twitter, the MP3s from his website have be found, and uploaded online!The Pac-Man World MP3 from the archive includes Stereo versions of Under Pressure, Perilous Pipes, Corsair's Cove, Ghost Island, Ghostly Garden and the Gallery theme!These are unfortunately not the full songs, but to even hear these songs in Stereo is such a treat! I cannot thank the user on Twitter enough for posting these songs for the world to hear.Please do check out the thread these files came from, and retweet it, to spread awareness: twitter.com/Muku99567/status/1642921161502740485
Toontown Online: Original Soundtrack (SC-55 MKII) Infomaniac95 2023-04-02 | The Toontown Online soundtrack as heard on the Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 MKII, recorded to 24-Bit FLAC!This project has been 2 years in the making (7 years, counting when I first started working on Sound Canvas music packs), and I'm proud to finally have it released. Every track from the game (minus beta songs, which will go up later, sorry!) are here, and accounted for, painstakingly recorded channel by channel, to ensure each and every song has next to no stutter, and that all of the notes programmed in the songs, play, without any note dropouts, from the SC-55 MKII's old, limited technology. The way these tracks sound can be thought of as a sort of remaster for the original game's music, which uses a soundset largely comprised of SC-55 sounds, but heavily compressed.Songs are ordered in a way that I personally felt made sense. Songs 1-45 are presented in what I felt are a chronological order, while songs 46-72 are ordered by when they released, within the Toontown Online update timeline. Songs 73-77 are unused songs that are presented with the context that has been assumed about them, while songs 78-80 are songs that were used on the web side of Toontown Online, and not within the game itself.You can use these songs in Toontown Rewritten, using the pack linked here (For folk who want to use these songs in a pack or server, please refer to the included read me!): mmocentralforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4354904Lossless download link: maniac95.info/sc55_stuff/Toontown%20Online%20The%20Original%20Soundtrack%20(SC-55%20MKII)Timestamps:0:00 01.

Pac-Man World - World 1 - 60FPS (DuckStation 300% Overclock) Infomaniac95 2023-01-20 | After my previous test clip with the game's first level, I wanted to go ahead and record the entirety of the first world of Pac-Man World with the 300% overclock, to show off how it looks, and what issues you may encounter when playing the game overclocked. I chose 300% specifically, since that's the rate the game finally starts running at 60fps, but you may get better results with 400%, which might better hold framerates in places where it drops to around 40fps.General Notes:Animations for 2D graphics and Pac-Man himself seem to run faster than usual, with some idle animations completing earlier, and animations like those in the end level screen, going way faster than usual. While physics are generally unaffected, the height you gain from jumping out of the water is much lower, and rev rolls don't quite hit the same distance and height that they normally do. Basic platforming and butt bounces appear to be unaffected. Also, helivators play their animation and sound faster, but otherwise move at the same speed.Buccaneer Beach:Aside from struggling to get all of the cherries in the pool under the bridge, this level is mostly the same, except for the Skeletons, who move a good bit faster than they normally do. This level ran the most consistently at 60fps, with a 300% overclock.Corsair's Cove:The pokey fish in the water move much faster, and I don't think react to Pac-Man at the faster framerate. The wooden pirates get shot at 2x the rate they normally do, which can make dodging the projectiles fired towards them tricky, when in swarms. In this level, you can observe that Pac-Dot chains seem to also complete faster, which I forgot to mention within the general notes. Overall, I didn't encounter any serious issues trying to complete this level.Mazes: Not much of note here. The maze in Corsair's Cove mostly stayed around 40fps, while the maze in Crazy Cannonade more consistently hit 60fps. It might be possible to make the frame rate more consistent with a 400% or higher overclock.Bonus Levels:No serious issues here. I figured the previously mentioned less height from water jumps would be an issue, but I didn't have too much trouble with these.Crazy Cannonade:This is the first level to utilize rev roll ramps for big jumps to a heavy extent, which made me very worried that I wouldn't be able to complete this level. Rev rolls are gimped when at a higher framerate, so I worried that I would reach spots where I couldn't make it to the other side. Luckily, I was able to find setups that allowed me to get them working, or was able to skip them entirely. This level otherwise wasn't too bad.HMS Windbag:This fight is mostly the same, aside from faster animations, and I think faster rate of fire on the cannons.Final thoughts:While imperfect, I think Pac-Man World is surprisingly playable at 60fps, all things considered. The experience could be better, with me hoping that patches can come about to fix the issues that 60fps brings to the game, but as is, it's not a bad way to experience the game, paired with the visual correction features DuckStation offers. I hope this video can prove interesting to some, and perhaps catch the eyes of developers who want to look into fixing the issues the game has, running like this.SPECS:Windows 10 Pro 64-bitASRock Z370 Extreme4Intel i7-8700KNVIDIA GTX 3060 Ti16GB RAMDUCKSTATION SETTINGS:Overclock Percent: 300%Hardware Renderer: D3D11 (To allow for recording with FRAPS)Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (since the game comes with a Widescreen mode)Integer UpscalingInternal Resolution Scale: 8xTrue Color Rendering EnabledPGXP Features: Geometry Correction, Culling Correction, Perspective Correct Textures, Perspective Correct Colors, Preserve Projection PrecisionAlso, to anyone who asks why the music and sfx pitch sound different in my video, vs how the game usually sounds, refer to this Twitter thread here, which includes GameShark codes, and explanations as to what the code does: twitter.com/lebrickster/status/1558183423189065730
Pac-Man World - 60FPS Demo (DuckStation 300% Overclock) Infomaniac95 2023-01-20 | Within emulators such as DuckStation, you can overclock the system to an amount that is higher than it's base value. In the game Pac-Man World, if you set this value to 300%, the game runs around 60FPS, providing a much smoother visual experience that goes together well with the game's native widescreen mode, and DuckStation's visual correction features.The result is not 100% perfect, as there are a few notable issues. The main issue to be noted is that jumping out of the water is much lower in this state, meaning that getting fruit that requires you to jump out of water, is now more difficult, or impossible. The other notable issue is enemy AI, with the skeletons in this level moving faster than they should be. The other issue, while minor, is that some animations play faster, such as the fruit being added to your HUD, or Pac-Man's pellet juggle, which is not shown in this video.Other than those flaws that I observed, the game seems to mostly be fine at the higher framerate, and I wonder if GameShark codes could be made that fix some of these issues. If anyone makes any codes, feel free to let me know, so I can add them to the video description, and make an updated video.Also, to anyone who asks why the music and sfx pitch sound different in my video, vs how the game usually sounds, refer to this Twitter thread here, which includes GameShark codes, and explanations as to what the code does: twitter.com/lebrickster/status/1558183423189065730
Worms 4: Mayhem - 50s Radio Loop (High Quality) Infomaniac95 2022-12-12 | The 50s Radio Loop from the first mission of Worms 4: Mayhem, reconstructed in high quality, using the original Sound Ideas: Series 4000 source!The jingle itself is a stock jingle from the Sound Ideas: Series 4000 library, with some editing done. The song was slowed down by -11 in Audacity, and then the relevant parts were spliced together, to match the game loop. The original intro and ending from the Series 4000 source have been included in my edit, to make it seem more complete, and because I don't think everyone has heard them, before.Anyone is free to use my edit as they please. I have included the Audacity project file for the song, should anyone want it.Lossless download: drive.google.com/file/d/1N0jLlhgeLX1SX-8jk5UHQzpE2-8x8URM/view?usp=share_linkAudacity project file: drive.google.com/file/d/1pHhMyzsRrgPTRWlafZGOQ4ys71FCMi6l/view?usp=share_link
Sound Blaster AWE32 - Dance (CT3980 Real Hardware Recording) Infomaniac95 2022-11-19 | Dance (as it's called with the MIDI file that comes with the Windows 95 driver CD), recorded from real CT3980 Sound Blaster AWE32 hardware, in 24-bit 48000Hz lossless!The main recording I could find of this song online sounded a bit lossy, and not the best, so since I just got my own card in today for myself, I thought I should go ahead and record this classic demo song on my own setup, for you all to enjoy in the best possible quality. This was played back via the DOS diagnostics tool, since I personally found that playing the MIDI file provided with the Driver CD within Windows, sounded a bit off, on some instruments. I might do some more AWE32 recordings in the future, for games like the Sonic & Knuckles Collection, but, we'll see!AWE32 CT3980 picture comes from this website: https://retronn.de/imports/hwgal/hw_soundblaster_awe32ide_ct3980.htmlLossless download: drive.google.com/file/d/11RjN9Vpes2eAKxhp9RhI3_6C-O6ZBHkg/view?usp=share_link
Pac-Man World: Re-PAC - Remade Soundtrack (Production Rate) (New Update) Infomaniac95 2022-11-16 | Wow. They actually went and redid some of these remade tracks, and it actually sounds much better. Thank you, Namco. And thank you for FINALLY crediting the composers, and getting the credits right.The tracks here still have that speed up (except Corsair's Cove), so this upload serves to get the songs back to their PS1 production rates. The newly remade songs, Credits and Gallery, have been included here. The old upload will remain up for historical reasons, but honestly, there's little reason to go back to the music from the launch version, if you ask me.Lossless download link: drive.google.com/file/d/13gU8KWFouoUTLw0oxbItzChVyNHklkcv/view?usp=share_linkTimecodes:00:00 01.

LEGO Island Restored - Mama Papa Brickolini Infomaniac95 2022-10-21 | Mama Papa Brickolini from LEGO Island, restored from Lorin Nelson's cassette tape transfers!This restore was done by myself! I did this a long while back, based off of transfers that were on the Project Island site. This song was already in good shape, and really only needed good denoising, but I also went in and fixed up the track speed, Azimuth issues, and did some Music Rebalancing and Mixing in Izotope, to give it a nice, wide, rich sound, that I'm still proud of, even now.A lossless download link for this track can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/11uN4SVyhHj31UBvtRyXedt69_HOWYXcx/view?usp=sharingA folder with all songs for this game can be found here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GT4lEA8g9eptrreHthz2aNLigF4jdzS0?usp=sharing
LEGO Island Restored - Information Center Theme Infomaniac95 2022-10-21 | The Information Center theme from LEGO Island, restored from Lorin Nelson's cassette tape transfers!This restore was done by myself! I did this a long while back, based off of transfers that were on the Project Island site. This predates transfers being released from Michael's master tapes. The reason they aren't used for my restore, is due to their lossy nature, and abundance of transfer issues. Otherwise, I would use his transfer for this song, due to the huge amount of clarity it has, over Lorin's recorded copy of the song.A lossless download link for this track can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1hBlxXz6OfXQ-fOh8e2JuOOdk4HS2KQSZ/view?usp=sharingA folder with all songs for this game can be found here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GT4lEA8g9eptrreHthz2aNLigF4jdzS0?usp=sharing
LEGO Island Restored - Park Theme Infomaniac95 2022-10-21 | The Park theme from LEGO Island, restored from Lorin Nelson's cassette tape transfers!This restore was done by my good long time friend, ZANTHERA. He originally made this restore for me, back in 2018, when I wanted to use the song in the game, Club Penguin 3D. He's given me permission to share it with you all, and I am very grateful for that. The track speed here is timed to how the sample sources sound, so if you feel the track sounds a bit slow, then just know, this is how this track is supposed to sound, instead of being slightly sped up.A lossless download link for this track can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1Wf4LUfNxLmuFGoYaqM-FWbUhfZx1TdjE/view?usp=sharingA folder with all songs for this game can be found here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GT4lEA8g9eptrreHthz2aNLigF4jdzS0?usp=sharing
LEGO Island Restored - Main Theme (Beach Boulevard) Infomaniac95 2022-10-21 | The Main Theme from LEGO Island (otherwise known as the Beach Boulevard theme by fans), restored from Lorin Nelson's cassette tape transfers!This restore was done by my good long time friend, ZANTHERA. He made this restore a good while after I made mine, and I wanted to share his version, here on the channel, since it outshines mine, in all regards. He's given me permission to share it with you all, and I am very grateful for that. The track speed here is timed to how the sample sources sound, so if you feel the track sounds a bit slow, then just know, this is how this track is supposed to sound, instead of being slightly sped up. (If you listen to the Pizza Delivery/Credits version of the theme, it uses about the same speed!)A lossless download link for this track can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1G_PXNgQZ68mx-W4Hmcs2YmdGQ1G51Iej/view?usp=sharingA folder with all songs for this game can be found here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GT4lEA8g9eptrreHthz2aNLigF4jdzS0?usp=sharing

Pac-Man World: Re-PAC - Remade Soundtrack (Production Rate) Infomaniac95 2022-08-30 | Because I doubt anyone else would have cared enough to do it.You may or may not know how Pac-Man World's music was at a higher than normal pitch, due to an oversight or bug that was present in the original game (read here for more info: twitter.com/lebrickster/status/1558183423189065730 ). Though it would seem that the team making Re-PAC didn't realize this, and assumed it was intentional (despite the CD Audio tracks proving it isn't, and also proving that the tracks were never made around this "compressed aesthetic"), resulting in the remade tracks being pitched up, for no good reason. This video undoes the pitch-ups, and even includes the Phase 2 HMS Windbag song with a pitch more in-line with the rest of the soundtrack.BEFORE ANYONE ASKS, Crazy Cannonade is not included here, since that track was mysteriously produced with the correct pitch, while all of the other remade tracks, weren't.Lossless download link: drive.google.com/file/d/1acbRouZNNxl523BCo6HrxV921uB3l_a-/view?usp=sharingTimecodes:00:00 Ghost Island01:37 Corsair's Cove03:09 HMS Windbag - Phase 104:49 HMS Windbag - Phase 206:35 Crisis Cavern08:05 Anubis Rex - The Chase09:44 Far Out11:15 King Galaxian - Infiltrating the Base12:55 Clowning Around14:34 Spin Dizzy16:10 Perilous Pipes17:52 Under Pressure19:23 Down the Tubes20:52 Ghostly Garden22:23 Grave Danger24:05 HMS Windbag - Phase 2 (Rush)
What Color is an Orange? - Bill & Teds Excellent Adventures (High Quality) Infomaniac95 2022-07-19 | Ted, you bonehead!I couldn't find a better quality version of this recently popular clip online, so using some Hulu rip I found, here it is, in a better quality! This comes from the first episode, known as "One Sweet and Sour Chinese Adventure to Go".
Tetris CD-i: The Complete Collection Infomaniac95 2022-07-19 | DISCLAIMER: This release is NOT being done for profit. I am simply a big fan of the score that Jim Andron crafted for this game, and only wish to provide a comprehensive YouTube upload with all of the tracks that are available, in the best currently available quality.A complete collection of music from Tetris CD-i, using high quality songs from Jim Andron, the Final retail game, and a dumped Beta build of the game!Inspired by Jim Andron, the original composer for Tetris CD-i, recently releasing a good amount of the game's tracks in high quality, this collection aims to use a mix of the high quality tracks he uploaded, with the gaps filled by tracks from the Final and Beta versions of the game. Track names are mostly using the names Jim Andron gave them, though some tracks do not currently have proper names, so they use more generic names, like "Level 7". If Jim ever decides to give proper names to these tracks, I will update the tags to reflect them!For this upload, I enlisted my friend, Senn, to de-click the high quality tracks that Jim Andron uploaded. Due to how many clicks there were the process is not 100% flawless, but I'd say he managed to do a good job in toning them down, making the tracks much more listenable. He worked on de-clicking the tracks for a long while, spending loads of time on figuring out the right approach, and I am super grateful that he took the time to de-click the track, and allowed me to share them here, with you all.If you wish to check out what else Senn does, you can find him at the links below:twitter.com/senn_twtyoutube.com/c/SennXIf you enjoy what you have heard here, please give a like to the tracks that Jim Andron uploaded to SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/user-391016128/sets/phillips-cdiYou can also find him at these places, too:twitter.com/Mijnordnayoutube.com/channel/UCx4YNhPNPh6I5sYSTCq8bcwDownload Link: drive.google.com/file/d/17SJ4lqDD6DwAdtLVNnGxyMa29bhSMWzC/view?usp=sharingTimecodes:0:00 01.
