December 2, 201411 yr comment_11739 Yo, been a while, so I thought I'd necro a thread. I made a new conversion of the full MIDI file compiled in 2004 by QuestStudios. Take it or leave it, but I figure I might as well put it up here. Since it's in FLAC I put it up on my Google Drive. There are a couple of tracks that could probably be cleaned up, and it might be nice to normalize all the tracks even though they're designed to play at different volumes in-game. But I added some nice cover art from the VGA box and included a readme. At the very least these are clean conversions using Munt 1.4 with no enhancements. Here's my track listing: " ===================================================== TRACK SHEET SPACE QUEST I: THE SARIEN ENCOUNTER ===================================================== No. Song Title Start Length ----------------------------------------------------- 1.

December 4, 201411 yr comment_11767 Awesome! I'll post one of these to the Two Guys Tumblr as soon as I get on a real computer. I've already shared it on the Two Guys Google+ thing. Great! Let me know if you notice anything or think I should split / combine a compilation. I also found a way to cut to silence in Audacity, so I may be making a new cut of the tracks sometime soon (along with my conversions for 3 and 4) Report
December 4, 201411 yr comment_11769 So, fancy an SQ3 Sountrack as well? This one was cut using the new new stud-finder method I discovered. It's a lot smaller (well, it was for the SCI0 engine after all) but really great nonetheless. The best tracks for me here are probably 1, 2 and 14.

December 27, 201411 yr comment_12018 I'll upload the album again later with the fixed name in the tags. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to re-record space quest ][ using an Apple ][GS emulator... except I was about to give up hope in ever finding one with decent sound emulation. Finally I found out that scummvm can handle IIgs game files, so I extracted the game files and (after some finagling) got it to work... and the sound is awesome--much better than what's show in the video earlier in this thread. I just started on it so here are three tracks from the opening portion: 1) Space Quest II Theme 2) Roger Dies 3) Capture and Crash Note that the SQII music was apparently arranged (or rearranged) by Al Lowe so I'll be marking them as such. Let me know what you think. It's a good excuse to play SQII again so I'll continue with the rest of the tracks and post again when I'm done. And for some reason, I'm not allowed to upload and attach flac files directly.. :-/ so here's a link to the files :-P Edited December 27, 201411 yr by nockgeneer Report
December 27, 201411 yr comment_12019 I think you may have forgotten the one theme unique to the Apple II GS version; the Marrow-Matic had an accompanying theme. It's still downloadable from the old SQN as part of the Apple II GS soundtrack Frans put together. Report
December 27, 201411 yr comment_12020 I think you may have forgotten the one theme unique to the Apple II GS version; the Marrow-Matic had an accompanying theme. It's still downloadable from the old SQN as part of the Apple II GS soundtrack Frans put together. I'm not at that spot yet, I just did a quick recording of what's played in the opening sequences and cut out some of the silence and put it together as a sample. I noticed there were only 3 tracks in that soundtrack so I wanted to do a full recording, including things like the lullaby song. I'll get to the Marrow-Mattic theme eventually, but I believe it's almost at the end. Report

December 27, 201411 yr comment_12022 Okay, I'm pulling my hair out on this. While playing the game, I realized that Flight of the Bumblebees stops playing very quickly during the death by tree climbing. I wanted to try and get the full version of that somehow, so tried opening it in AGI Studio. The problem is that the midi portion of the sound files are designed for the IIGS, not the 3+noise versions. I haven't been able to find any converters or emulators willing to let me work with these files directly. If anyone can point me to something that would work, please let me know. If I could somehow swap the opening music for the music I want using the AGI studio, that would be great. I would just do that, start the game and record it out. But I can't find where I'm supposed to make that change. I can also do it using a hex editor if anyone knows the correct bits to change. Since the studio is not designed for working with IIGS files, I'm a little lost I think. EDIT: I found a new emulator (MESS) that works much, much better, playing everything at the correct speed and with better sound reproduction. If no one can give me any pointers on the above, I'm going to try the throttling options there. If anyone is having issues trying to get MESS set up for IIGS emulation, it's best to use a front-end (I'm using MESSUI). Obtain the latest rom zip files for apple2gs and apple2ee (yes you need both) that are specifically designed for working with MESS. (MESSUI audit will tell you what files you need.) If you've downloaded apple2gs.zip from somewhere, it is likely missing a file required by the newest version of MESS called "341-0132-d.e12". Extract it from the apple2ee zip and add it to your apple2gs zip using your archive software of choice (I prefer Bandizip). Copy or move the corrected apple2gs.zip file into the roms folder of your MESS run folder. I set it to run in a window because it's easier for recording, but I would uncheck that option for straight-up playing. Now, if you're running using the CLI Run "mess apple2gs -flop3 <path/to/disk1.2mg> -flop4 <path/to/disk2.2mg>" If you get an error, check your rom zip again and make sure you're in the correct folder. To run as-is, you must be in the MESS run folder or have added that folder to your PATH variable, replace mess with mess64 if that's your version, flop1 and 2 are for Apple II disk images, 3 and 4 are for 3.5" floppies, remove the second floppy command if it's not necessary. If you're using a GUI like me: Run an audit of the apple2gs system to make sure it checks out. Add the disk images in the correct "device" slots. Run the system.

December 9, 201510 yr comment_12944 If you mean the soundtracks in the SQN archives, I have been doing some behind-the-scenes work on organization recently. You will need to look at the game pages in the archives to find the new URL for the soundtrack files. Report
January 26, 201610 yr comment_12960 I've been using the original site here, now the archives, as a resource for many years now. One of my favorite pieces is "Keronian Bar" in SQ 4. It makes me want to stand up and dance. By the way, all the music links here work fine in Firefox on my iMac. Report
