Jeroen Tel - Turbo Outrun (C64) Title (NES/Famicom 2A03 Cover) 

boom boom tchtchtchtch hit it wewewewew

Great cover... Amazed by the tech involved... then again, I know how *c*o*o*l* it is to transcend to a new platform from one to another... comps!

This cover provides one of the best comparisons of the SID and 2A03. The chip designers had to make trade offs like (1) how many channels of polyphony can we do, or (2) how flexible can we make each channel. 2A03 did more channels but with fixed capabilities. SID gave more options on each channel but limited to 3 channels. Comparing the Jeroen Tel original to this cover shows all the differences in these tradeoffs. Great job on this cover - it wouldn’t be such a strong case study of 1980s sound chips without the level of detail put into this work. At the end of the day, you just can’t get away from that pulse wave sound on the NES. C64 wins on the tonal and timbral variety despite having to juggle the settings on the limited sound channels. They’re both good. They are the top two chips of the 8 bit era without a doubt.

Wow, this sounds fantastic! Jeroen Tel would be proud.

*puts mouth in a pringles can* Owtrun!

I'm surprised that Jeroen Tel didn't comment on this video.

I love it. When I first saw the "Challenge accepted" meme, my reply was: Racing videogame music in your car Obey all traffic laws Challenge accepted

damn! near one to one with the c64 version, now that's a feat! considering the limited channel flexibility

Nappa: Vegeta what does the scouter say about his perfection level? Vegeta: IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The muffled beats gain power with the noise channel.

You probably already know this, but fun fact: the melody of this is the song Magical Sound Shower from the normal OutRun OST

Nice cover man. This takes me back to a time where I had a Commodore 64 (still do its just in my attic) and me and my friends played Turbo Outrun. Man those were the days, and just hearing this cover gave me the nostalgia boost I needed. Thanks man. Keep up the amazing work. As always I would love to hear more of what you have in store.

Never heard of this game but I enjoy the cover so I'm gonna have to look up the original now.

GEEEEEEET READDDDYYYYYYYYY YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH this cover is rad dude, keep it up

The samples are way less muffled than the C64 ones. This is because the noise channel is giving the drums more power. C64 uses 4-bit samples, while the NES uses 1-bit samples.

Heheh... Someone has discovered Jeroen Tel music too, I see.

I love this so much :D You're a super talented musician! I don't think I've heard NES music this fantastic in a while. It makes very good use of every channel, and it's super catchy too. Awesome work!

This is fantastic, you nailed it!

Hell yes, dude!!! Sounds awesome! Perfect conversion!

I can't help but notice how muffled the original SID output was, compared to the 2A03. Great work!

When Highway Guy uploaded the original track, I couldn't get it out of my head. You ever heard Jeroen Tel's Smash T.V. OST for C64?

Wow, sounds so much cleaner than SID!

This is soooo nailed :O

I love this song! :D

wow this on point

i wonder if there were high quality versions of these samples

noice

It screams 90's everywhere

Really good

Со второй минуты семпл баса звучит выше, чем нужно.

holy fuck that pcm bass

One... two.. tree.. HIT IT.

Does Famitracker allow for 2 independent digi channels?

1 2 3 h i t i t

Yo hit me up with that nsf file fam

Umm.....if you want to replace the out of tune Bass-Samples hit me up (I have the original). Otherwise, pretty nice.

The!

I know mapping those samples took a lot of time.

Waveforms sound clearer on the NES than on the SID, but SID is better at playing samples.

Really great rendition n a NES sound chip! Loving it!

I WAS NOT EXPECTING SUCH LEVELS OF DPCM

FINALLY YOU FINISHED IT

This is the craziest thing that I ever seen made with the NES DPCM. This makes me to think if it can fit on an NES cartridge. Maybe in one of the Master System, but I doubt very much that this could been fit on a NES cartridge. Anyway, this is an impressive work! If you can did this, could you make an Stormlord cover? Only time will tell...

This song sound like it's from a sega genesis

One, two, three, hit it!

How on earth did you get the PWM effects on the squares at 3:06, is there just some fine pitch modification going on which isn't very visible on the waveform or is it just something with the NES? I just have never heard something like that before without like changing the duty cycle as other parts in the song did.

Jeroen version is better.......... less channels but better..... good cover#

*Turbo EGGrun*

Is it just me or is this more in-tune than the original?

Pretty amazing given the limitations of the NES with the square wave channels. However I think it's pretty impressive how Jeroen Tel managed to fit all the samples on the one channel together.

Simply amazing!

where do you get those powerful snares and kick samples used in the song? I'd like to use them too in one of my own compositions.

It's a crime that we can't get the .ftm of this

1:32 Never Gonna Give You Up? SiIvaGunner!!!

Epic.

OUTRUN!

Rad samplin' my dude.
