The 16-bit Audiophile Project

Archiving music of 16-bit videogame consoles reproduced by original hardware and recorded in hi-res FLAC using professional audio equipment

[The 16-bit Audiophile Project @16bap]

Also, we are not using "a black background", we are actually disabling the VDP output (sync signal included) altogether!

[The 16-bit Audiophile Project @16bap]

That's why our contributors are now re-ripping everything with blast'em!

Our recent releases are already made this way (check the notes)

This said... the differences in timing are so small as to be negligible, save for corner cases such as Rocket Knight Adventures.

I took a LOT of heat over my honest take on DefleMask Tracker soundtracks being used for official Genesis/MD cart releases, but I still stand by my assessment to this day. That's the curse over having OCD:

A big thanks to Lilmattere, our Youtube administrator and long time contributor, for getting back into the game!

Happy listening!

Website is online and fully working!

Thank you for your patience!
We'll work towards finding another free image hosting website that works for our UK followers too!

I was thinking about imgBB or imgbox (with a slight preference for the latter).

Let us know any suggestions!

[The 16-bit Audiophile Project @16bap]

Hi everyone, it has been brought to our attention that UK followers are unable to properly see our website because Imgur, the service we use to host pictures to alleviate the load on our hosting, is "banned" from the UK.
We're working towards a solution, thanks for your patience!

CrazyToaster strikes back with a new community release, following his previous one with the sequel of one of the most universally acclaimed arcade fighting game of all time!

Super Street Fighter II has been released!

Happy listening!

The impact Street Fighter II had in the world of gaming was massive and its music soon became iconic.

Today, thanks to our contributor CrazyToaster, you'll be able to relive those fantastic tunes of the Mega Drive port!

Happy listening!

If you've ever wondered what our work and research look like... this is literally what it's all about.
Fractions of milliseconds.
We'll get there one day, we'll have our perfect triple paintball collision.

A new release just landed in 16bap land!

Thanks to long time contributor Crazytoaster, we now have Earthworm Jim 2 added to our library!

Thanks again for yet another great contribution!
Stay tuned as two more super hard-hitters are about to be released!

@spacecroc1 Hey, thanks for the kind words!

It was a community release so the contributor might have accidentally skipped it or maybe it's under a different name!

Our soundtracks are available on our website as well in high resolution FLAC!

[The 16-bit Audiophile Project @16bap]

You can also listen to Sonic CD Complete on Youtube along with all our other releases!

[The 16-bit Audiophile Project @16bap]

It is finally done!

Our Sonic CD Complete release is out now, featuring the JP, US and all the Prototype tracks in a massive 3 disc package!

Thanks for sticking with us and, even if it's a bit early, merry Chrismas and happy new year from 16bap!

When you get these warnings on MAME, it can be difficult to know what they are referring to. What is missing? I have been studying The FairyLand Story hardware the last few weeks, so let me explain:

[The 16-bit Audiophile Project @16bap]

Thanks to the help of ValleyBell we've discovered that Prototype 0.28 (released 2 days after Prototype 510) has identical tracks and it's a proper one!

So we're going to use that although we'll still probably be labeling them as "Ver. 510" since it's the one that came out first.

[The 16-bit Audiophile Project @16bap]

Hi everyone.
We're almost done with the Sonic CD Complete release, but before wrapping it up, we'd love to make sure of one thing.

Has the Sonic CD 510 Prototype been dumped only as CUE+MP3 files? Isn't there a proper CUE+BIN or CUE+WAV dump?

Please let us know ASAP!
Thanks!

Aladdin has been remastered by our community!

A much needed update which takes advantage of the new accurate VGM logger in blast'em!

Thanks to CrazyToaster for another great contribution!

This concludes the series about custom Master System BIOS.

This whole thing started because I wanted to make a custom BIOS with MDFourier built-in, so here it is!

If you don't have a flashcart and want to run MDFourier, grab the download in the article!

[ OFFTOPIC ]

Someone please help this guy.

Service manuals are what keep old technology alive.
Without them we have to resort to visually tracking the circuit and risk (fatal) errors.
And if a component is blown up or missing, good luck knowing what that was.

[Shank @ShankMods]

Please share. I have just acquired THOUSANDS of service manuals for old TVs from the 70, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. They are not documented online. I do not have the capability to digitize and archive them all, and need help finding someone who can.

[ Update about Sonic CD Complete release ]

Thanks to the help of ValleyBell and our long time contributor CrazyToaster, we now have all the prototype tracks properly ripped!

Now it's just a matter of finishing touches and hopefully you'll all have a nice Christmas present!

[The 16-bit Audiophile Project @16bap]

[ Update about Sonic CD Complete release ]

I've hit a road block while trying to extract the sequenced PCM tracks from Prototype 051.
Something is terribly off with the CD rip.

Other than that, everything is good to go, only those 3 tracks from 051 missing!
