Paul Westphal Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I just got Defender without instructions. Is there a music test on the cart? Back in the day I thought I accessed one. If not, isn't there a CD with the tracks I can D.L. or purchase somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Are there official song titles to accompany the tracks (like Tempest 2000 has) besides Title Screen, Level 1, New Song, etc.? And is there an uncompressed version of the soundtrack available by chance or just the mp3's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Not that I know of (for both questions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm pretty sure there was a code that accessed a menu where you could listen to the songs, and possibly the sounds too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Havoc 2049 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I remember someone made a cd case cover for D2k a while back. Is it still up somewhere? Link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerosquare Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Do you have any info on the Audio CD? It sounds a lot like the CD audio version of the Tempest 2000 soundtrack that was included with the JagCD, but unlike this one, I've never heard about the actual CD being released.

lotek_style Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It was planned to be officially released like the Tempest 2000 Soundtrack... also the same people did the music. The audio CD never came out so they put up the tunes online a few years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECWfan Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I remember someone made a cd case cover for D2k a while back. Is it still up somewhere? Link? I believe K3V made one years ago and posted it on JSII. Unfortunately I didn't download it at the time and am now looking for it as well. Maybe he'll see this and can post it again?

K3V Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'll dig around and see if I have the files somewhere still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Looks like this is an MP3 CD. Anyone have one made up of WAV files for maximum (Old) device compatibility? Jaguar CD for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 They're 320 kbps MP3 files, so the difference in quality should be insignificant. You can easily convert them back to uncompressed audio if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an ISO so i couldn't even get the MP3 files off the CD in Windows Media Player (what my work computer happens to have.) TY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) You can extract the MP3 files from the ISO using 7-zip: https://www.7-zip.org/ And convert those MP3 files into WAV files using Audacity: http://www.stenographsolutions.com/solution/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=130 (keep the project rate at 44,100 Hz to maintain quality) Edited June 23, 2020 by Zerosquare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have one made up of WAV files for maximum (Old) device compatibility? Jaguar CD for example Pretty much every CD player I have encountered that is not a PC or a 7th gen and forward video games console, apart from one or two recent car CD players, only does normal CD-DA and has no support for MP3, at least not that I know of (I don't have many mp3 CDs to try but I would expect a lot of these players to advertise it in big letters if they had such a feature). It's been a little while but the same person that did MP3 rips years ago (well I suppose the only one with the CD) did FLAC rips too. I think I signed up to some Final Fantasy forum years ago just because I had to in order to downloads the flacs. I think I had trouble finding them in the first place. I was trying to find them today but couldn't and ended up getting the ones I downloaded in maybe 2017 or thereabouts off of another PC. I think I found where I originally got them from from a page on this ffshrine forum though it links to a dead file sharing site. Actually that can't be where I got them from, as that used a separate file sharing site so wouldn't need you to sign up to the forum. So that might still work but you have to have an account on the forum and apparently it takes a while to find. I actually came to this forum page because I noticed it had a CD iso but it does seem a bit small as the flacs I have here run 61 mins in total. MP3 is good but if you are burning an uncompressed CD then there is no point in using a lossy source if lossless is available is there. You reduce quality if only slightly for no space savings. This is where I assume I got them from: https://www.ralfcasino.com/forums-ffshrine/archive/t-199037.html But that lets you in without being a member. Maybe I'll just post them here as no one had a problem with Paul Westphal doing it. The Zip barely compresses it if not at all but it seems to be the only way to have the folder as one download (I couldn't figure out how to cancel the upload of each individual file so had to wait for them to upload and then delete them).
