Thanks for the supportive words, guys.

To answer your question, mdynasty926, FamiTracker is the best tool for this.
You can then convert your compositions to the sound engine format of the specific game you'd like it to be in.
Of course FamiTracker can output NSF. files in it's own engine for general distribution too.

I'm an old school gamer and to this day FF4 is still my favorite.

Alright guys, this project is a very big undertaking. It will require a team effort and a
serious one at that. Only apply if you can dedicate at least a few hours a week on this.
I will be directing the project and be warned that I am taking this very seriously.
When something isn't up to par I will be letting you guys know whether it's the quality
of your work or your attitude.

Let's make this project the envy of the rest of the ROMhacking community!!

Hello everyone. This small tread is going to be all about the project.
I'll post a FAQ here as well as new questions are asked.

History
Back in 2008 on the ROMHacking.net forums Lindblum started a project to translate the unlicensed Chinese remake of Final Fantasy VII on NES. Thankfully has was sucessful in translating the game and we can all enjoy it here in the Retro Game Room.

Being a lover of 8-bit remakes and retro gaming I became interested in the project and played it even before the translation was complete. However, I was dissatisfied with many aspects of the game including the recycled graphics and lack of FF7 music.
So later that year I decided to try to organize an improvement project, which I did. Many people assisted including Lindblum who generously revealed many of the game's offsets. Also, tummai lent a hand at fixing the music problem along with Lindblum. Many other talented folks have also made contributions.

However, because of several factors in our personal lives and what not the project ground to a halt multiple times. That is until now. I am happy to say that in association with Davideo7 and Vizzed Board I am relaunching the project.

F.A.Q.
What is the goal of this project?
-To upgrade the graphics & music in FF7 for NES to better match the original PSX release.

Will Yuffie & Vincent be added?
-For now I plan on including them as cameos. If, at a later date, an ASM hacker of exceptional skill wants to make them playable characters by all means I invite anyone to try.

Thanks!
I hope to be able to contribute much to the community and make some friends as well.
