Just download an .nsf file for FF3j and listen to it in winamp (with the right plug-in) or load into an NES emulator (most emu' support this).

Are we allowed to use expansion chips? or can we only use the 5 tracks?
I finished prelude and sent it to you and I'll continue to work on Opening/Bombing Mission.
Sorry it took so long. I just got my wisdom teeth out and I've been kind of out of it

No worries. This project isn't going to be done for at least several months.
Stick to the 5 basic channels for now as I'm not sure if the game uses any special sound chips. I doubt it does anyway.

I was thinking.

Bombing Mission would probably fit better if the opening part was seprate from the bombing mission part. But that's up to you

Also, FF 3 was never released on the NES. Only the color swan in japan. In fact, the only english release was a Nintendo DS version that had revamped graphics and sound. There is, however, a game called FF 3 released for the SNES. It was actually FF 6 labeled differently. I would be greatful if you clarified exactly which game it's supposed to sound like.

Shane_Harles : Ahhh see, that's where you're wrong Shane lol. FFIII was originally released on NES. It was just never released in the US until the DS version came out. And yes, I despised how they just put FFVI as FF3 lol. That was horrible.
I'm going to say it's FFIII, and not FF3 lol. Because I'm thinking his point is because FFIII is an NES game, so it has the NES style music. The 8-bit. We can't really make this 8-bit sound like a SNES game can we? lol
EDIT: In fact, that wonderswan thing you talked about was a remake, not an original game, and it was actually never completed. I'm sorry, I had to lol.

Correct.
And if you go to the Retro Game Room and click on 'RPG' and then 'NES' you'll see FFIII
listed there.

I'm getting tired.
I haven't gotten the Bolt1 sheet yet, and I can't find one anywhere.

Don't bother looking. You won't find it.
As soon as I get my stuff back together I'll rip it for you.

mdynasty926 :
There is no difference between FF 3 and FF III. It's just different ways of writing it. I preffer to write it FF 3 because it's less characters, but both verions(the jap release on NES and the FF 6 release on SNES) have the exact same name.

I have the original sound version of FF 3 (NES version) that i could zip up and send to anyone who is interested

Also, is there any way to make a channel in famitracker echo other than using another channel to enter the same rhythm half a beat later?

Shane_Harles : I know what you mean, but I was referring to the American release of FFVI as FF3, just for the sake of separating the two titles so that it's somewhat less confusing... not really XD
I honestly don't know Shane about your question, but if you go to the FamiTracker website you could find a link to the wiki, which I found pretty useful. I haven't finished any FFVII tracks though since I've been very busy -.-

ok but just so that we don't do the same ones on accident, this is the list of all the tracks in the first disc of the sound track. It should keep us occupied for a while. we'll each do every other one(i'll take evens since i'm already almost done with bombing mission:

1.Prelude
2.Bombing Mission
3.Makou Reactor
4.Anxious Heart
5.Tifa's Theme
6.Barret's Theme
7.Hurry
8.Lurking in the darkness
9.Shinra Power Company
10.Fighting
11.Victory Fanfare
12.Flowers Blooming in the Church
13.Turk's Theme
14.Underneath the rotting pizza
15.Oppressed people
16.Honeybee Manor
17.Who Are You
18.Don of the Slums
19.Infiltrating Shinra Tower
20.Still More Fighting
21.Red XIII's Theme
22.Crazy Matorcycle
23.Holding My Thoughts in My Heart

I didn't change it at all thats just the way the cookie crumbled. Just search them on google and you can get the audio

--------------------
Hopefully it's something simple!

Shane_Harles : yeah and I already did the Prelude, but I think you did one too? well whatever lol. I'll take the odd ones . I honestly haven't played FFVII yet -.-, but I plan to get it off of the PSN and playthrough.

LordVanya : Ok. I will wait until then. Then I will give you the best an Effect Artist can do!

REMEMBER: I only can do spells.

I thought Tummai already coded the prelude. Does LordVanya have my information for songs that have already been figured out (FF7-MusicRepository.txt)?

I have to look at what I have, but I'm glad you're around now.
I made them do versions of the prelude as their application.

LordVanya, don't mean to be a bother, but why is it taking a long time for the Bolt1 sheet?

RedMageCole : Not to be rude but do you have any experience with this sort of stuff? If so, could you show us some samples of your work?

Lindblum : I think most of us here know who you are, great to see you join up on my forum, hopefully we can make some great progress on the game using Vizzed Board and it's dedicated FF7 NES Upgrade forum

Life can get pretty busy for us older folk at times.
Be patient, or research the tools you need and do it yourself.

LordVanya : Alright. I will try to wait longer.

Davideo7 : I have experience. I would show you a heck lot of my sprites I made using Pokemon, but since my computer was infected by a scam telling me every file was infected so it wouldn't let me go to ANYTHING (bulls*** ) unless I bought it for 20$ or more. So I don't have any of my works.

Bolt1(a)


Bolt1 (b)


Bolt1 (c)


Only the first 2 (a & b) need to be redrawn because the 3rd frame is basically just b flipped over.

Bolt1 (palette)


The bolt 1 spell uses Cloud's palette, so these are the colors that have to be used for now.
