Halo Theme - True 8-Bit

I redid the Halo Theme in 8Bit. There are a few versions on YouTube that claim to be 8bit - but are simply done with Vst's or other software. All my 8-bit songs are produced using Famitracker, a "free windows tracker for producing music for the NES/Famicom-systems. [...] One of the features is NSF-file exporting. That allows music created in this tracker to be played on the real hardware, or even for for use in your own NES-applications." In layman's terms, you can make LEGIT Nintendo music that could actually be put onto an NES cartridge (as apposed to synths that simply sound similar to NES music).

By the way, I only use 2 Square, Triangle, Noise, and DPCM - No extended channels.

I was going to do more with the animation and redo the intro to Halo in 8-bit story boards (much like Megaman) but do not have the time or energy.

Thank you for making a true 8-bit version. Please keep making more of these, they're amazing! Also, if it's not too much to ask, is there a way to differentiate between true 8-bit and fake ones? A certain sound/tone that shouldn't be on an 8-bit track?

@Aulmeyda Yeah, I have a lot that I still need to upload - I should get on that! Heh.

And yeah there are ways to tell, but sometimes it can be tricky. For true 8-bit, there should be one noise channel, two square, and one triangle - plus a DPCM (2-bit wav files.) Often people will just run a midi through a VST and use like 10 square channels - Haha.

@TheAnubis754 You seem very set on telling me how I was wrong, go ahead. Don't stall this time please.

If Halo was is released in the 1980s...

Bad...ass...

@Aulmeyda if it help, just remember 8 bit does not do more than 4 sounds at once.

@NaruIchI12550 if you need to be reminded then you are obviously not a true halo fan. but if you really NEED me to tell you, then i will. let me know.

[NaruIchI12550]

@TheAnubis754 Really? what have I said that's incorrect?

[TheAnubis754]

do battlefield 2's "snowy mountain" song 8-bit style

[TheAnubis754]

@NaruIchI12550 if you started reading and playing with your eyes open, you would understand.

@TheAnubis754 Our A.I is on another Halo!

[NaruIchI12550]

@TheAnubis754 It doesn't matter your comment is invalid due to the lack of knowledge about the Halo rings. You haven't proven me wrong. Two things, one his comment was a week before yours and obviously you should re-read the books and play the games again because it didn't sink in to your apparently thick head. If his princess was on another halo most likely she'd be dead.
