This did not disappoint, loved it! I think the N163 is easily the most powerful expansion chip (for the famicom). It's really amazing what kind of sounds can be produced with it. Some people say VRC6 or VRC7 is the best. Nah, I say N163 is where it's at! Also, I somehow managed to snag the first view. That *NEVER* happens! :O
Yeah, definitely. The N163 coupled with the 2A03, AFAIK, can have the 4 channels + DPCM the 2A03 has, plus 8 Namco channels (I think its eight, not sure, since most people only use up to 6 N163 channels). Counting everything, that makes it into a whopping 13 channels, just like a Sega Genesis! The VRC6, however, is more reminiscent of the SNES, since it has eight channels (again, coupled with the 2A03 + DPCM channels and the three extra VRC6 channels), but has a already built-in sawtooth wave, something that no chip has. So yeah, they both have their charm IMO. lol
Dixie Chix i agree with you, the N163 chip is the most advanced exp soundchip used in a famicom, it could do 8 channel sound at 4bit wave table syntheses, it’s comparible to the snes soundchip.
Wow I... I think this is the best Chiptune song I've heard without any synths, samples or other instruments! I'm very amazed by this! And it's hard to believe that this would be possible with the Famicon. Even though it's an expansion chip... but still.
Actually, there's quite a lot of samples going on here... just look at that dpcm! Also, I don't actually know but the creator might have possibly created the n163 waveforms from samples too
Generally I have mixed feelings on N163 stuff in famitracker. I know it's technically playable on a famicom, but somehow you normally tend to lose the 8-bit aesthetic when you rely too much on the Namco channels. Somehow, you avoided that entirely here. You can still hear the Namco channels doing their thing, but I think the fact that the melody is mostly in the main channels manages to keep the aesthetic intact, while also having the benefits of using the Namco channels. So, it's a few years after your upload, but congrats!
I just drew a N163 wave by hand. Since then, I got a better "piano" sound for N163. Btw, this is for you www.dropbox.com/s/i1vjrz1rcakij08/DuckTales%20-%20The%20Moon%20%28VRC6%20Cover%20by%20BallAndPaddle%29.ftm?dl=0
Sounds amazing. What sound configuration did you use to play this in the video? I've tried changing mine for a while but it just doesn't sound the same way in my Famitracker.

1:23 has to be one of (if not THE) best arrangement of the chorus i've ever heard. Of course, the hole song is a masterpiece, but man, that moment...
Wow! …Just Wow!
This is the absolute best arrangement I have ever heard, I want more N163 remakes now....

Haha nice :) With the N163, you can make very FM-like sounds, but also you can make great sawtooth wave sounds that you can't easily do with the VRC7.
Yea, VRC7 is similar to a stripped down version of what's in the genesis.
Yeah, definitely.

@@LotoTheHero More like a stripped down version of what's in the Adlib card

If Dr Wily was a classic Metal Gear boss.
Holy @#$%. Wow, awesome job.
Such excellent arrange! Never know the true power of N163!
Megaman 2: Powered Up
Megaman 2 Dr.Wily stage 1-2 is always and forever will be the best theme whether it's original or having a variaty of remix.
I honestly didn't expect much out of this but, WELL DONE!
This is beautiful…

This cover goes hard and is also really good
This sounds better than the original
Nice to see you at 800 subs
love what you did with this classic staple
I like this a lot because I think sound like the Final battle!!
From Japan🇯🇵
Exquisite.
Why did the piano sound so damn realistic? Anyways, cool cover!

THIS VERSION THAT YOU MADE SOUNDS CLOSER TO WOOD MANS THEME!
Jocelyne Dever nice >:]
mm2wood.mid
Epic!
This is very good.
HOOOOOLY SHIT
epic

Thanks! I wanted to add stereo and a touch of EQ, so I exported each FamiTracker channel to WAV and pulled them into my DAW.
I got one request, you should make "Opening To Hell" from Doom 2 in 8-bit.
Sounds like a gba remake of Mega Man 2.
