To show that it's also possible on the Famicom and to get an idea of what it would have sounded like if it were ported on the system. You should keep in mind that YM2413 and the VRC7 do have some differences. For example, YM2413 has 9 sound channels (a setting is available which allows 6 channels for melody and 3 channels for percussion) whereas VRC7 only has 6, which explains why some parts sound different from the original. Another thing is that some of the preset patches are different in the two sound chips. So essentially you don't get a complete replica of the YM2413 into the Famicom.
mmkthecoolest Well I didn't really notice any difference myself, but I think someone did get that screwed up. He told me the VRC7 had more channels, and I thought that sounded off considering it's an expansion chip and the Master System's YM2413 is a stand-alone soundchip.
Gender Neutral Chibi Thing Well, in Japan, it could be (only for certain games that supported it, such as "Outrun", "Wonderboy in Monsterland" "Alex Kidd: BMX Trial") since it was built in, but in other regions, it's just an add-on. So of course, the PSG is the real stand-alone soundchip. Technically, YM2413 and the VRC7 are both expansion chips. The only difference is that YM2413 came in Mark II/III in Japanese Master Systems. I hope that cleared all of the confusion! ;) And to think of it, the VRC7 actually has the advantage over YM2413. Although that's not always necessarily true, the VRC7 is complemented with the 2A03, which consists of 2 pulse sound waves, the triangle wave, the noise wave, and the DPCM, and they are usually used at the same time, which Lagrange Point showed a good example of that. So, in total, that makes 11 sound channels! On the other hand, YM2413, although not disabling the default PSG soundchip as mentioned earlier, is rarely used with it. So, you'd only hear either 9 FM sound channels or just 3 PSG sound channels. The only exception that I can recall is when someone made a hack of Sonic 1 for the Master System. I was actually surprised when I heard BOTH the PSG and the YM2413 being used at the same time, which doesn't seem to happen at all with other games that actually DO support the FM soundchip. Pretty weird, huh?
Yeah, and truth be told I don't like the FM chip on its own, it just sounds really weak, the PSG chip of the Master System was less flat sounding. Does the VRC7 still contain what the VRC6 had?
Gender Neutral Chibi Thing Erm.. well, if you're talking about in terms of sound, then no. The VRC6 had waveforms, while VRC7 had some sort of modulation. What I mean by this is that, the VRC6, in some way, is similar to the 2A03 pulse channels. The only difference is that 2 of the VRC6 sound channels have much more different variations of pulse waveforms (such as 6.25%, 18.75%, and 31.25%) that the 2A03 didn't have, and that one sound channel is the sawtooth wave channel, which by the way, cannot be changed into any other different sounding waveforms. The VRC7 is way different from the VRC6. It is similar to the YM2413 and the Sega MegaDrive sound chip. I wish I could explain it, but I only know so little about frequency modulation. :'(

So accurate! Much nice! Wow!
Holyshit! Well done dude! You just made a new follower :D
Thanks!
Well done man
Nicely done with no effects
Keep on with this type of VRC7 cover
Also try Deflemask
I think it’s great too
Holy damn man, this is a really nice cover!
*****
*_yo._*
+Blaze Weednix thanks
Masterpiece
So fucking accurate, olleyy shit!
LEGEND
Nice VRC7 cover of the song, and it sounds super close and identical/faithful to the original Master System Bios arrangement of the song!😄🤩😎👌
i read the ftm and you are not the only one who pronounces it base.
電源をOFFにしてソフトを入れたくなるようなアレンジですね。
How were you able to make the accurate VRC7 presets? Were they guesswork by ear or is there some sort of converter?
Enough of the pre-built presets sounded similar to the original. The custom patch used is just used for noise instruments.
@@mmkthecoolest cool
Links for FTM and NSF are in the description.
Woah! It sounds like the exact same thing!
If this is essentially the same as the YM2413 the Master System FM already had, why bother remaking it?
