NIKO^2: Game rip *** Game info *** Name: NIKO^2 Characteristics: Jump'n'Run Publisher: Telenet Japan Developer: Wolfteam Original/port composers: Motoi Sakuraba, Ryota Furuya Platform: NEC PC9801 (1991) *** Music info *** Released: 1991 Related Plaform: NEC PC9801 Format: Sequenced music (MID) Composers of these tunes: Motoi Sakuraba, Ryota Furuya Source / Archiver / Ripper: chikakitaari Music type: Game rip Archived process: Archived completely Num of tunes: 9 Complete: 100% Size of archive: 47651 bytes *** Facts / description *** Recorded from emulator with MIDIOX, external MT-32 bank included. Info from chikakitaari: There are only 4 tunes actually, since I never played game itself (it's damn hard) I can only tell that first tune is menu music. And it's damn good! As of 01.06.12 anything sounds nice on latest MUNT (grab it here: https://github.com/sergm/munt_devel/downloads) Currently the sond bank must be correctly loaded before playing the midi files. Using MFPlay, it should be worthwile to try to inject the sound bank into the MIDI file to not need to pass through play MIDIOX-MIDIYOKE to play properly. However must be tried though. (any re-sending of the preoperly injected files will be appreciated :) ) How to play these tunes properly in current state: Fist of all you obviously need to download MUNT package. It's available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/munt Now program & PCM ROM images from MT-32 or (better) CM-32L are needed. These can be found on the net, just google. After you're done with installing/unpacking there are 2 ways: use included driver to create virtual device, can't provide much info on this one, or use standalone player, this one will be decribed below. Basically you can open MIDI file directly in that GUI, but that won't do because game uses some custom instruments. So, i suggest installing something like MIDIYoke and MIDIOX, first to use as input port in emulator and output port in MIDIOX, second to send SysEx data to emulator. After you're done, just use MIDI player of your choice to playback MIDI files (don't forget to set output port in player to input port in emulator). *** More info about Motoi Sakuraba *** Country: Japan Original game music from Motoi Sakuraba: Valkyrie Profile Arrange Album (PS1) [7/10] [01 Mar 2000] FSCA-10121 Beyond the Beyond: Original soundtrack (PS1) [02 May 1996] ARCJ-33 Beyond the Beyond: Game rip (PS1) [03 Nov 1995] Golden Sun, The: Game rip (GBA) [12 Nov 2001] Sol-Feace: Game rip [1985] Star Ocean 2: Original soundtrack (PS1) [18 Nov 1998] FSCA-10063 Tales Of Eternia: Original soundtrack (PS1) [16 Mar 2001] MJCG-80064 Tales of Eternia (Remastered Audio) OST (PS1) [04 Mar 2001] ZMCX-1193 Tales Of Eternia: Game rip (PS1) [Nov 2000] Valkyrie Profile: Original soundtrack (PS1) [17 Feb 2000] FSCA-10118 D2 & MIL CD: Original soundtrack [17 Dec 1999] FSCA-10113 Shining The Holy Ark Arranged Soundtrack (Saturn) [12 Dec 1996] OOCO-26 Music from Stray Sheep Poo to Merru no Daiboken [02 Feb 2000] ZMCX-1063 Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Original Soundtrack vol.1 (PS2) [19 Mar 2003] KDSD-2~3 Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Original Soundtrack vol.2 (PS2) [09 Apr 2003] KDSD-4~5 Golden Sun, The: Game rip (GBA) [01 Aug 2001] NIKO^2: Game rip (Nec PC9801) [1991] Star Ocean: Game rip (SNES) [19 Jul 1996] Star Ocean: Game rip (SNES) [19 Jul 1996] Star Ocean: Game rip (SNES) [19 Jul 1996] Tales Of Phantasia: Game rip (SNES) [15 Dec 1995] Tales Of Phantasia: Game rip (SNES) [15 Dec 1995] Sol-Feace: Game rip (MegaDrive) [1985] Mario Tennis: Game rip [21 Jul 2000] Game music originally related to Motoi Sakuraba: Star Ocean: The Second Story Fantasy Megamix (PS1) [9/10] [06 Nov 2000] FSCA-10145 Shining Force 3: Other (Saturn) [26 Nov 1998] TYCY-10003 Shining the Holy Ark Arranged Sountrack (Saturn) 00C0-26 Star Ocean: Blue Sphere: Other (GBC) [22 Aug 2001] SCDC-00123 Motor Toon Grand Prix: Original soundtrack (PS1) [01 Jul 1995] ARCJ-16 Tales Of Phantasia: Arranged/Remixed tunes [14 Nov 2000] Star Ocean 2: Arranged/Remixed tunes (PS1) [11 Aug 2002] Star Ocean 2: Arranged/Remixed tunes (PS1) [1993] Beyond the Beyond: Arranged/Remixed tunes (PS1) Golden Sun, The: Arranged/Remixed tunes (GBA) [2001] Mario Tennis: Arranged/Remixed tunes (N64) [2000] Motor Toon Grand Prix: Arranged/Remixed tunes (PS1) Road Avenger: Arranged/Remixed tunes (Sega CD) Shining Force 3: Arranged/Remixed tunes (Saturn) [1998] Shining the Holy Ark: Arranged/Remixed tunes (Saturn) [1997] Sol-Feace: Arranged/Remixed tunes (MegaDrive) Star Ocean: Blue Sphere: Arranged/Remixed tunes (GBC) [2000] Star Ocean 2: Arranged/Remixed tunes (PS1) [1999] Star Ocean 2: Arranged/Remixed tunes (PS1) [1999] Star Ocean: Arranged/Remixed tunes (SNES) [1996] Tales Of Eternia: Arranged/Remixed tunes (PS1) Tales Of Phantasia: Arranged/Remixed tunes (SNES) [1996] Valkyrie Profile: Arranged/Remixed tunes (PS1) [2000] Tales Of Phantasia: Arranged/Remixed tunes () Game music arranged by Motoi Sakuraba: Force of Light: Arranged soundtrack Star Ocean: Perfect Sound Collection [01 Nov 1996] SRCL-3686~7 Albums: Star Ocean: The Second Story Arranged Album [06 Nov 1998] FSCA-10056 Games which composed Motoi Sakuraba music in: (if there is platform in the parenthesis, it means the composer composed or ported the music for this platform) - Star Ocean 2 - Beyond the Beyond - Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color) - Motor Toon Grand Prix - Road Avenger - Shining Force 3 - Shining the Holy Ark - Star Ocean - Tales Of Eternia - Tales Of Phantasia - Valkyrie Profile - Star Ocean: Blue Sphere - Golden Sun, The - Sol-Feace - D2 & MIL CD - Stray Sheep Poo to Merru no Daiboken - Star Ocean: Till the End of Time - NIKO^2 *** More info about Ryota Furuya *** Original game music from Ryota Furuya: Sol-Feace: Game rip [1985] NIKO^2: Game rip (Nec PC9801) [1991] Sol-Feace: Game rip (MegaDrive) [1985] Game music originally related to Ryota Furuya: Sol-Feace: Arranged/Remixed tunes (MegaDrive) Games which composed Ryota Furuya music in: (if there is platform in the parenthesis, it means the composer composed or ported the music for this platform) - Sol-Feace - NIKO^2 *** Record info *** Record created/updated: 21.
