X68000 emu + midi (SC-88pro)

[nintendude8VG]

wait, are you using cheats in the castlevania part.

BLECH.

[Penguindog55]

A cool game, the Roland Sc-88pro also does a supurb job at emulating the SC-55, well it's a successor of the SC-55, SC-55mk2 & SC-88vl.

[castlevania78]

how did you set this up? Which emulator did you use? I've tried Winx68 High Speed, but the midi music doesn't sound right.

[xan1242]

@castlevania78 I use that emu.If you don't have Sound Canvas,you can get Virtual Sound Canvas.Go to option-config-MIDI to set up MIDI.To boost up the emu,go to BackBuffer-System(to System)

If it still doesn't sound right,use FM synth.

[castlevania78]

@xan1242 Thanks for the help, xan. I believe my set up has sound canvas. On Akumajo Dracula, the fm synth and the third sound option (sc-55, sc-33, sc-155, etc.) seems to sound fine. The second option definetly sounds off. Most of the samples aren't right. Is there any way to fix this, or is it an issue with sound canvas?

[castlevania78]

@xan1242  also, what does the Midi initialization option do? I notice it has three options, GM, GS, and XG.

[xan1242]

@castlevania78 It has GS,XG and LA,it depends on your type of synth.If you have GS/GM synth,choose GS,if you have LA synth,choose LA.Simple.Its basicly reset message to synth.

@castlevania78  thanks

Everyone shall put on your knees! Glory for the Sharp X68000! One of the best arcade porting at that time!

aha, I remember the twinbee game on SNES. The jumpnrun I mean...

[frontliner2]

these games rock indeed

[Gr1Ng00]

i remember this shit ....i loved it ^^ ...

an the remake on the SNES was awsome ! :)

[DehnusNorder]

There is no remake ont he SNES, there is Super Castlevania 4 on the SNES though (great follow up before all this RPG like stuff you also saw in Simon's quest). To bad they gave it such a bad sequal on the SNES with Dracula X. SUper Castlevania 4, BLoodlines, ROndo of Blood and this one remain my favourite :D

[Gr1Ng00]

ah ..Oo ..k ...*damn* .. Oo ....

[DehnusNorder]

I miss Castlevania games like Super Castlevania 4, Castlevania, Rondo of Blood, BLoodlines, etc.

All this backtracking and Levelling just isn't Castlevania for me. :D.

[darkmelee]

they use the same riff, but everything else is dissimilar. i've noticed it as well. you'll find dozens of similar things among this, bloodlines, castlevania IV, and the Dracula X games, from music to stage elements and especially enemies.

[GlennMagusHarvey]

...Whoa, that's interesting. Listen to the music as the water rises, and then listen again to the Prologue music (the "Final Stage" music) from Symphony of the Night. They sound similar.

[gebauzchris]

Probably because Michiru Yamane was the composer for both.

[Atomicskull]

It was just called "Dracula", it was basicly a remixed/updated version of the original.

[monsterviolence]

What Castlevania game was that in the end?

[GlennMagusHarvey]

It was generically named, as Atomicskull said below, but its remade and re-released version on the Playstation is called "Castlevania Chronicles".
