What do you mean by "believable" ?? It's YM 2612 powered sounds. with all Megadrive limitations. it's not made with other sounds than actual megadrive 😉.
The stage select music sounds badass! The Genesis soundchip has a crunchy, grungy sound to it that's a nice counterpoint to the more epic, symphonic sound of the SNES soundchip.
When you give people 20+ years to figure things out, chances are they can figure it out and work with it far better than developers did when the systems were just out on the market, and the tools devs had to use were a bit more primitive than now.
Alex Parr The only game Capcom truly cared in sound production on the Mega Drive is the Saturday Night Slam Masters port, since they got a CPS-1 veteran on it, and the soundchip there (YM2151) is very similar to the Mega Drive soundchip. (YM2612) Every other bit of their work ranged from decently good (SF2 CE) to absolutely godawful (SSF2).
Did you know that the Sega CD actually had 8 additional PCM channels besides the two used for Redbook CD audio? You could totally use SNES music on the Sega CD if you wanted. All of that aside, this is really awesome, especially after the first three tracks (Chill Penguin really reminds me of Tyrian!) Somebody needs to port the entire game to the Mega Drive using this soundtrack.
When the mega drive/genesis sound chip the ym2612. I think it beats the snes. Just as in my opinion the SNES had cool wavetable synth but it wasn't a whole lot of storage on it and the sound is very muffled and poorer effect. Where as the Yamaha ym2612 when applied properly I think does a cleaner better job and sounds similar to some of Yamaha's professional keyboards such as the dx7
This. Is. Amazing. My buddy and I were just talking about outside the MM series, the Genesis was untouchable in terms of music. This takes the cake. One of the best games and OST's ever on the SNES...brought to the Genesis sound chip set! INCREDIBLE THANK YOU!!!

I've run into a common theme with these Genesis remixes. The amount of enjoyment you get from a tune is directly correlated with how high you have the volume turned up :D
Going to be perfectly honest, I think this is better than the SNES version's soundtrack. I've never been too big on how the guitar samples sound on SNES, but I've always been a big fan of how the Mega Drive tends to handle metal sounding tracks, like Thunder Force 4 and its use of distortion.
Once you realize that game came out in 1989, it becomes even more mindblowing knowing something like this can be done in 1989. (Just give Technosoft the FM patches :p)
This is awesome! I like how the electric guitar sound is more predominant. It gives us a better idea of what the original composition was intended to sound like with real instruments. 🙂
This is awesome ! It's going to be pretty difficult adjusting back to the original soundtrack. I'll never be able to play X the same way. Growing up with the genesis really made me wish this game was ported over with this bomb ass track 🔥🔥🔥
This is quite something. That first and second Sigma stage, just wow. So much sharper and melodic without sounding gritty. How accurate is this? As in would the game sound like this on an actual Genesis?

Boomer Kuwanger's stage is incredibly AWESOME in this version! One of the best remixes. I could spend a whole day just listening to an infinite loop of it.
Man, for songs like Boomer Kuwanger, it really does bring out more of a feeling for the whole "reploid rebellion causing all sorts of hell, and it's up to you to stop it" element compared to the SNES version for me. Plus it also sounds more obvious that the composer was relatively fresh off of Mega Man 5 and 6 at the time.
That's Yuko Takehara's work. Listen to Charlie's theme from Street Fighter Alpha (and Alpha 2), she also composed that, and it shows, it also sounds like it belongs in Mega Man 6. Her songs are distinct and stand out in any game she works on, as is the case with a lot of Capcom's sound team.
*Rikoh ZX*, funny, Boomer Kuwanger was one of the few that didn't sound right to me. The lack of the crisp, punchy orchestral hits is just too much for the arguably kick ass guitar synths to make up for. And then, while I would have expected Storm Eagle to totally rule on Genesis sound, it just didn't.
I'm a huge fanboy of Megaman X and especially it's soundtrack (I honestly force myself to struggle through most of the game just to hear all the tracks), and I gotta say that your YM2612 recreation absolutely fucking SLAUGHTERS the original. Well done. Bravo! :0
This whole OST remix is nothing short of amazing, but Sigma fortress 2 is FUCKING LEGENDARY, I swear that the only song out of this entire line up to make me energized for anything. >:D
In the right hands, the Genesis YM2612 sound chip sounds amazing, and this is coming from someone who usually prefers the SNES soundtracks of games over the Genesis, even with some games on the Genesis/Mega Drive sounding amazing at the time and today.

@@SgtSega Does (Knuckles') Chaotix count? I mean, technically it was on the 32X, but the only difference for the soundchip is 4 extra sample channels (if I'm getting that correct, I may be misremembering >.>)
Capcom could’ve made Mega Man X for Sega Genesis as well as SNES, and the would be Sega Genesis version would be a hit. A fan made Sega Genesis port exists online.
That FM synth is so crystaline and like a precision laser on the lower frequencies. The samples of the SNES sound muffled... I officially prefer the Genesis version of one of my favorite VGOst's. This is awesome!
Please give this treatment to X2 and X3! I've heard more complaints about their SNES instrumentation than any other OST. The Genesis sound might be their saving grace.
Really? I love X2 and mostly X3's OST mainly BECAUSE of the instrumentation, especially X3's grunge guitar. (It was a breath of fresh air from Capcom's OTHER SNES soundfonts....)
Strength and weaknesses of the console chips aside, i been impressed that alot of people are trying to push as much out in sound design with these consoles
Personally, I think Mega Man X sounds way better on the Mega Drive than on the SNES. It really benefits from the grungy sounds of the FM sound chip, which more suits it's very grungy aesthetic. Really good job on recreating everything as well. I've tried my hand at this kind of thing before with Sigma Stage 1 but it turned out badly. Anyways, very cool!
The 32X port is one of the many examples of how NOT to do music on the Genesis. If the developers actually know what they were doing, Genesis games can sound better than the SNES most the time.
I quite enjoy the sounds of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive when they're properly utilized and over the years, I've heard quite a few FM synth covers of various songs from the Mega Man X soundtrack. This, by far, is my absolute favorite compilation! I would love to see a high-quality MP3 version of this album at the very least at some point. Awesome work! ^_^
That spark mandrill is incredible, I can't find a standalone version of this one, all the other Sega spark mandrill tracks I've found are remixes using the sega style.
Kinda like SF2 Champion's Edition and Chiki Chiki Boys, or worse. Their late 80s-early 90s arcade stuff with FM synth music also sounded kinda rough compared to Konami or Namco.
or, if they actually wanted this game to sound good on the Genesis, someone like Isao Abe and/or Syun Nishigaki could help out with the sound programming and all that, since they were basically the Capcom FM masters at the time (and they have also helped create the Genesis version of Saturday Night Slam Masters, which is still Capcom's best Genesis soundtrack IMO) since Wily Wars exists tho, I dunno if Capcom would've taken that approach, which is pretty sad
Spark Mandrill sounds great, but if it was me, I'd find a way to eliminate that awkward drum fill. I know you kept it faithful, but I just think it works better if it kicks right into the main part again.

@@SgtSega Does (Knuckles') Chaotix count? I mean, technically it was on the 32X, but the only difference for the soundchip is 4 extra sample channels (if I'm getting that correct, I may be misremembering >.>)
One hour of Savaged Regime's Genesis goodness... We're in heaven now.
Capcom could’ve made Mega Man X for Sega Genesis as well as SNES, and the would be Sega Genesis version would be a hit. A fan made Sega Genesis port exists online.
Isn’t it still unfinished?
17:59 this is epic, best genesis remix of boomer kuwanger and for some reason i like it more than the snes version
Armored Armadillo is my favorite one by far.
Wow, a lot of work must have gone into this! The FM Synth treatment does this soundtrack good, stellar job!
That FM synth is so crystaline and like a precision laser on the lower frequencies. The samples of the SNES sound muffled... I officially prefer the Genesis version of one of my favorite VGOst's. This is awesome!
What in blazes... do we deserve something so amazing??
No
Please give this treatment to X2 and X3! I've heard more complaints about their SNES instrumentation than any other OST. The Genesis sound might be their saving grace.
Really? I love X2 and mostly X3's OST mainly BECAUSE of the instrumentation, especially X3's grunge guitar. (It was a breath of fresh air from Capcom's OTHER SNES soundfonts....)
@@solarflare9078 Sorry dude but i liked MMX sound font alot more than X2 or X3 (though those sound fonts reminded me of Megaman 7)
@@gyufrec X2 had tighter drums tho to be fair.
This absolutely BANGS! One of our favorite gaming soundtracks of all time. We'll soon be putting out re-tweaked MegaMan music too!
17:13 Instant goosebumps when the bass came on.
25:03 Same here holy shit.
22:21 Damn i was waiting for this in my life !
Vile’s themes and the Boss Intro tracks are definitely among my favorites of the era.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤
All of these Genesis tracks are amazing but ...
that Boomer Kuwanger theme just sends you into another dimension!
Shit's amazing. That Genesis twang.
Wait, this was Savage Regime this whole time!? Ahhh!
This is so well done, I can't believe how amazing every single track sounds
Boomer Kuwanger and Sigma Stage 1 are slick. The Genesis really highlights the baseline and drums.
Great job! If only this couldve happened back in the 90s
Strength and weaknesses of the console chips aside, i been impressed that alot of people are trying to push as much out in sound design with these consoles
I can't download the VGMs. It says I need to request access. Not sure if that is intentional.
Always nice to see Genesis music love! Keep up the great work!
I like Flame Mammoth, Spark Mandrill and Sigma Stage 1 a lot.
Mega Man X - Full Soundtrack *(Sega Genesis)*
I'm sorry wha-
This is outstanding!
Love the gnarly, gritty sound! Well done!
Awesome sound. Great use of the FM synth and samples!
One of my all-time favorite video game soundtracks gets the Genesis/Mega Drive treatment, and it's quite glorious!
AND a VGM soundtrack so I can play it on my phone? This is the best thing ever!
Me: X! Get all of your games! We're moving to Genesis.
X: Why?
Me: *plays video*
X: Fair enough.
I like how you diagnosed a mental disorder through a TH-cam comment.
Vegas Vanga Thank you but just to let you know when sigma takes over, your not getting help.
Dude, why does EVERYONE on the net HATE autistic people!?
Vegas Vanga - don't worry, in a few years you'll graduate and move on to high school kiddo.
Jeremy M Eh. Don't let it bother you too much. People who hate others with autism and use it in jokes are simply ignorant. Best to ignore.
Personally, I think Mega Man X sounds way better on the Mega Drive than on the SNES. It really benefits from the grungy sounds of the FM sound chip, which more suits it's very grungy aesthetic. Really good job on recreating everything as well. I've tried my hand at this kind of thing before with Sigma Stage 1 but it turned out badly. Anyways, very cool!
you should upload the bad version that u made bro
@@creatine420 I would, but it's not finished
Spark Mandrill already sounded like a Sega Genesis song, no wonder it fit so much
I was expecting it to sound like the genesis port of Doom. I’m so glad I was wrong.
The 32X port is one of the many examples of how NOT to do music on the Genesis. If the developers actually know what they were doing, Genesis games can sound better than the SNES most the time.
I was 100% confident this exact video would be on TH-cam before I searched for it.
This is so good. You really used up the genesis sound chip for what it's worth.
I quite enjoy the sounds of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive when they're properly utilized and over the years, I've heard quite a few FM synth covers of various songs from the Mega Man X soundtrack. This, by far, is my absolute favorite compilation! I would love to see a high-quality MP3 version of this album at the very least at some point. Awesome work! ^_^
22:21 - Even on Genesis, this song is really good.
Absolutely amazing. This gave me chills.
Dude. This arrangement fucking rules.
23:09 with earbuds in hits different
Amazing! A lot of Mega Man music feels right at home on the YM2612
Glad to see a fan making a Genesis port of this game
Me too, dude. Me too. =D I'm more hyped for it than I could ever imagine. =D
This is actually really solid. Good work man!
Hot DAMN Flame Mammoth sounds incredible
Thanks for arrangement and VGM Format!
Jesus FOOKIN Christ. What the actual FOOK did you just did? Amazing dude! I mean, REALLY!
Love you.
Thanks for the work!!! The Chip Yamaha of Sega Megadrive/GenesisDOES is better for certain genres, like ROCK!!! LETS ROOOOCK!!!
What if Mega Man X had a Sega Genesis Port? This is close enough that we’ll get. This is top notch Genesis sound chip/synthesizer music for that.
Amazing! You've outdone yourself this time!
That spark mandrill is incredible, I can't find a standalone version of this one, all the other Sega spark mandrill tracks I've found are remixes using the sega style.
This is really good but part of me wants to know what his would sound like if it was actually made by Capcom (not as good as this)
Kinda like SF2 Champion's Edition and Chiki Chiki Boys, or worse. Their late 80s-early 90s arcade stuff with FM synth music also sounded kinda rough compared to Konami or Namco.
or, if they actually wanted this game to sound good on the Genesis, someone like Isao Abe and/or Syun Nishigaki could help out with the sound programming and all that, since they were basically the Capcom FM masters at the time (and they have also helped create the Genesis version of Saturday Night Slam Masters, which is still Capcom's best Genesis soundtrack IMO)
since Wily Wars exists tho, I dunno if Capcom would've taken that approach, which is pretty sad
This really does sound like it came right out of a Genesis/Mega Drive. Sigma Stage 1 sounds amazing! 33:42
Spark Mandrill sounds great, but if it was me, I'd find a way to eliminate that awkward drum fill. I know you kept it faithful, but I just think it works better if it kicks right into the main part again.
I came when I saw the thumbnail and the title already. I'll have to get a mop in here by the time I'm through with this.
I want a _Nintendo-Sega Super Genesis_ with a crossfader for mixing sample and fm tracks. Best of both worlds hybrid system.
man, the blast processing does so much for this soundtrack
Awesome!! i have no words, thank you friend!
