Me van a crucificar, pero aunque en PSG se oye más épico prefiero el FM, suena más limpio y sin tanto ruido, se que uno de los canales del PSG era noise, pero es demasiado ruido para mí gusto... Saludos... 😁
Gotta go with PSG. FM is just too clean and in turn makes it sound rather generic, especially when compared to how raw PSG sounds during the breakdown at the halfway point of the song.
FM doesn't sound good because this version of the song wasn't designed for FM, the Outrun 3D version is designed for it. Same, the Outrun 3D version (designed for FM) doesn't sound as good on PSG.
Because the genesis has an inferior fm sound chip and is also using the crappy PSG sound chip at the same time. The combination of these two chips is what creates the "gritty" sound
I'm not saying the genesis didn't have great music, it certainly did. It's just that the fm chip in the master system had superior sound quality (10 bit MS VS 9 bit genesis). I will say though that the genesis played much LOUDER, which I personally like a lot.
Also the YM2612/YM3438 in the genesis shares a lot of similarities with the YM2151, which is actually the predecessor to the YM2413 chip that's in the master system.
Keegan Andersson i don't get it, dreamcast has the same yamaha sound processor as saturn, but they didn't carry over this fm chip to the genesis? there are some similarities in the sound output, but it handles horn-like sounds MUCH better than genesis

The PSG version is what I like to call the "Epic" version of Magical Sound Shower. And I love it for that.
I love the way the SMS sounded. It had such personality. :)

Nice how the original cart featured both versions - I prefer the PSG as it is how I remember it sounding when playing it on sms bitd :-)
The FM version sounds like something out of Mario Paint
+IIFierceDeityII The FM is not my favorite. PSG sounds so much better and defined. The FM sounds fuzzy and is missing something vital.
3:29 my FUCKING ears
PSG all the way.
It was a good chip and some people really got a lot out of it (see Sonic Chaos, Sonic 1 8 bit, etc) but when underutilised it's not great.
I LOVE IT!
I kinda like fm generated drums more than drum pcm samples.
i wonder why they didn't mix the PSG and FM together...
*PSG* is Love *PSG* is life

The psg sound chip is Texas Instruments SN76489
PSG win!
PSG definitely! :D
FM version's kinda meh in my opinion, heh... :P

Same, the Outrun 3D version (designed for FM) doesn't sound as good on PSG.
why did master system's fm sound better than genesis?
Because the genesis has an inferior fm sound chip and is also using the crappy PSG sound chip at the same time. The combination of these two chips is what creates the "gritty" sound
Keegan Andersson Tbh, it seems like you've only bothered with many western developed games. Listen to stuff like the Streets of Rage 2 OST.

PSG!!
Why?! It does sound charming, but it's not as good as NES and GB sound
+Jack C. I think it's just directly related to the nostalgia I have from hearing it only ever through my Master System. :D
why the FM is quite ?
Lol, why is the tempo so fast?
PSG
This game with the fm sound unit sounds like the sega genesis version of this game.
uhh hell nah it doesn't
This just tells me that Sega had a terrible habit of cheapening their hardware in the most obvious places. Sigh.
lol PSG is so ear killing. SMS PSG was le uberweak!
FM[x-------------l------------]PSG
PSG all the way, who would ever prefer the other crap?
LOL PSG FAAAR BATTER
Both versions are shit.
Ryuma King not as shitty as your stupid comment though
