PCE Valis with Genesis Valis music

Unlike some other PCE "remixes" where the soundtrack was added after the video was recorded, I went ahead and inserted the Genesis sountrack into the CUE/WAV set! No editing was done to this video whatsoever; what you see and hear was exactly what I saw and heard as I played the game. So you may be wondering, how did I do it? I already had the Genesis soundtrack in .VGZ files, so I recorded them to .WAV files, then modified the WAVs in Windows Movie Maker to make them (as close to) the same length as the original WAV files. Lastly, I used TocFixer to get the files sizes right, and viola! PCE valis with Genesis Valis sountrack! The only "glitch" that I encountered was the fact that PCE Valis likes to cut off the first second of each track. To get around this, I added a one-second "moment of silence" to the beginning of each track. This video doesn't demonstrate it, but my audio editing skills aren't the greatest (skips and cut-offs in some tracks).

This video also served as a test for the ZDsoft Recorder and how well it works with Mednafen (the emulator I used). Personally, I'm a bit disappointed with it. The framerate is a bit choppy, and during recording, the audio was actually glitching up (though the resulting video was fine audio-wise). As if that weren't enough, YouTube compresses the quality even further, resulting in a video that's not only choppy, but blurry as well (adding '&fmt=18' resolves the blur issue) If anyone has any suggestions on recording gameplay videos, that would be great!

Cool, but I don't know why this is preferable to the real music.

@RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77 It's just a matter of personal preference. I personally prefer the geneses music over the TG16 music, but that's just me.

Well done, I want to make something like that.

[DirtyZ]

I agree - the genesis music is better

[RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77]

@Teraforce88 I guess, but I think I'd choose Redbook audio over bleeps and bloops any day.

Wow how creative! I don't understand why many people complain about the PCE version, I like all of them. Even the NES version rocks (specially when you get killed)

Nice work dude.
