@@TheGameboyNerd23 yep. I was looking down the list and saw the midi plugin sitting there. It didn't come with the Soundfont though so I had to source that, can't remember which one it was but I got it from the rockbox website when looking at the wiki... I think
Very strange to see a comparatively modern game like Portal on VHS. What VCR did you use for this? For you to be able to record in LP, it must have been fairly old (especially considering the lack of Hi-Fi audio).
@@VideoGameSmash12 it was a Matsui VP 9608, 4-head VCR, it did record Hi-fi but I opted for linear instead considering the condition of the tape Idk/can't remember the date code but I reckon somewhere between the mid and late 90s
No duh there, I recorded it with my phone and that's the same result. Guess it's a Linux/Android thing Also did a similar one with the Roland Virtual Soundcanvas years back too.
indeed, all android devices have the same soundfont (left unchanged ever since it's implementation in the OS). I just used my phone name since it was what I had at the time and also because of potential audio quirks with the headphone jack or file manager (such as being really quiet, my current phone, Motorola Moto G13, the default file manager plays midi's really loud (sometimes clipping causing major distortion))
this is actually such a neat idea. it feels lo uncanny,, i dont know how to describe it. i'm curious how other games would feel with this real vhs effect-
I actually did record myself playing old games like this recently. Here's a rundown of what each game was like. The vibrant and colorful art style of Plants vs. Zombies keeps the picture surprisingly saturated and colorful even when recording in EP mode. Bejeweled 2 was a bit mid but still very colorful. Minecraft looks faded and almost eerie (especially in singleplayer), though this could just be the high gamma level screwing up the colors. Portal 2 was pretty fitting, especially during the later parts of the game.
That moto g8 was a crime against humanity. Yamaha OPL3 & iPod 5.5th gen sounded the best. OPL3 sounded like a gameboy which is cool & the iPod just sounds good a.f. Last one too PSR-E323
Yep, I still have the zip file for all of the entries. Since the text channel was archived I think the link to the zip is still there which I will put here if I can cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1076754319455563898/1078262713765077022/intro-tunez.zip?ex=666238a8&is=6660e728&hm=255100cba603ad8d0d5d08a86b92ec747be2e1d999a88253035794abb4654198&
It's a based of "Orion VH-2898 Hi-Fi" (Same of My VCR set at: Lifetec LT8910) - pretty good, but "Middle-East SECAM" aren't be supported compare to Other Popular Mono Video Cassette Players as "N300E" and "N500E" [Good Audio quality]

man i wish 0:51 won first place, it sounds so COOL!!!!! i wonder if you can replace the furnace intro music without replacing it in the source code and rebuilding furnace.
Doom also used midi files for its main soundtrack. For many People, the soundblaster was the card installed on their computer back then and doom used the soundblasters built-in midi support for its soundtrack if it was selected as the audio device. To be more specific, it just sent midi commands to whatever device was selected. In windows, that would be handled by the os and then sent to the soundblaster. Hence why to you, this will sound like the instruments used in the doom soundtrack when in reality it's just the patch bank windows uses to interface with soundblasters midi mode.
A lot of those intros were really good. I wish at least the top 5 entries would be included in Furnace. Deflemask also has more than one intro tune after all. By the way, do you know why does entry number 3 sounds like the winning entry, despite being written by different authors?
In the contest you could design the sound around the intro visuals and time everything It was optional, of course, but it would make it more appealing overall There was gonna be a chance that two authors would have the same general idea and then branch out from that in their own way I personally like how entry 3 came out more than the winning entry but it's the majority's word over mine. It's still good either way.
