• are there trans women who don't like celeste or steven universe?

  Everyone who was into chiptune 20 years ago knows each other. We were all on a forum together called vgmusic.com, which is still around -- it doesn't get updates because I was the sole updater and got outed by these people. I think Lena mentions midi transcriptions in her interviews or on wikipedia or something. Toby Fox was also there under another name but I don't remember him ever posting. Source: about 1 year ago

• Kyun! Vampire Girl MIDI

  So about a week ago I decided I wanted to learn the bassline from Kyun! Vampire Girl; sadly my usual way of getting tabs for video game music turned up nothing (MIDIs from vgmusic.com imported into guitar pro). During my search I found this post from 2 years ago with someone looking for the same thing. Source: about 2 years ago

• I made an 8-bit version of the Port Ormos Daytime Theme

  Oddly enough, I used to do midis in Cakewalk many years ago for vgmusic.com I think it's still on there. KKCondor.midi and AC_Ablesisters.midi animal crossing for Gamecube I think lol. Source: over 2 years ago

• What is the name of the Red XIII theme recycled from a previous final fantasy? I’m looking for it to find the grit that you find from that era of videogames

  You might be able to find alternative versions (possibly a chip-tune version) on https://vgmusic.com but it wasn’t taken from a previous game. Source: over 2 years ago

• PS3 Theme Music

  I don't have the sheet music but it might help to open a midi file that you think sounds good and figure out how that looks. There are a few variations on vgmusic.com and anvil studio is free if you don't already have something that handles midi. Source: over 2 years ago

• Was going through some old data and found this old MIDI site that is still up, kind of a lost artform nowadays, but worth checking out.

  Similar to (but smaller than) https://vgmusic.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• How are you reliving the '90s?

  I listen to '90s music. I can put it on full volume and the neighbors can't hear because there's a lot of background noise where I live. I get retro game music (mostly midis) from vgmusic.com. Source: almost 3 years ago

• NES SPC to MIDI?

  Hi everyone, just as the title says I'm wondering if there are any proven libraries for converting NES SPC files to MIDI? I am trying to build a dataset of authentic NES MIDI to train neural networks on, but vgmusic.com has fan-transcribed songs, often with extra channels, and this dataset was converted improperly, a lot of the songs have completely wrong notes.

• Where does the famous Gamemaker music come from?

  Most Game Maker games from that era used MIDI files as background music. I think the last version of GM that natively supported playing MIDI files was 8.1. You can still find a lot of MIDIs of video game music in the VGMusic Archive. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Can you share any interesting website which is unknown to almost everyone, but deseves a whole lot of attention?

  Https://vgmusic.com/ More as an interesting relic than something useful or important. Source: almost 3 years ago

• 2003 me loved this.... Found it on an old drive

  You might have gotten your video game midis here (http://vgmusic.com/). It's still around. Source: over 3 years ago

• Instruments in You're Not Alone

  Thanks! I looked through vgmusic.com and the ones out there don't sound like the same instruments. I'm not 100% familiar with how MIDI works, do you "plug" an instrument into a computer and play it? Can you do that with the aforementioned instruments? Source: over 3 years ago

• Need help in finding where to get the soundtrack to a game

  You may try zophar music for original files of ost; and vgmusic.com for fan arrangements. These are the most complete I can think of. Source: over 3 years ago
