ButcherGrindslam is at it again, this time the remaster is a short, but sweet one: Outrun!
Thanks again for this important contribution in improving the accuracy of our releases!
See all you again soon for another community release!
Yet another new contributor approaches, it’s now time for ButcherGrindslam to shine!
This is a bit of an awkward release: Alien 3 was already released by us, but back then we were using a modded PAL Mega Drive which yielded incorrect timing to a degree where we had to explicitly mark those releases as inaccurate in our Releases page.
This means that those soundtracks needed to be re-recorded one way or another and we still don’t have a proper hardware VGM player to get back doing our work properly, so we’ll gladly accept help from our community to fix our past mistakes and deliver a more accurate listening experience for our followers.
Also, stay tuned because I can already tell you that more remasters from ButcherGrindslam are coming soon so you might want to upgrade your collection with those releases as those are going to be way more accurate than our past work.
Thanks again to ButcherGrindslam for joining the contributors team and his efforts!
See you soon!
CrazyToaster, a new contributor to the project, decided to start his work by instantly achieving legendary status with this incredible (and requested!) release!
The soundtrack is *huge* and it will surely be of great interest to all of the Sonic fans out there since they’ll be able to hear and compare the Prototype music with the final one from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Just like all the other Community Releases, this one follows our very strict guidelines so you can stay reassured that the quality and accuracy of this rip is up to our standards and you can put this up right against our Sonic 3 & Knuckles remaster.
Needless to say I’m speachless, thank you so much CrazyToaster for this incredible contribution and I hope to see more of your work in the future here at 16bap!
I’ll have to admit that this is a bit of a bittersweet release for us: Richard Mixin, the author of this release, has told us that this will be the last release he’ll do for 16bap as he’s going to move on to other projects.
Richard Mixin was among the first contributors we’ve had, joining us in early 2020, and has released a whopping 14 releases counting some of the biggest we’ve ever had
On behalf of the entire 16bap team, I really want to say a big thank you to Richard for sticking with us through all of those years and letting us enjoy so many games with the amazing quality you’d expect from 16bap releases.
I hope one day you’ll get back here: our doors will always be open!
Until then, thanks again and we all wish you the best in the world for your future.
This said, for all you following us, please enjoy another massive 28 track release and I hope I’ll get back here at some point with relevant news about the project.
As a reminder, we’re still stuck with no hardware VGM Player and we’re hoping Deadfish will find the time and dedication needed to make this miracle happen.
We all know that if there’s one person on this world who’d be capable of making a perfect VGM Player on the Mega Drive, that would be him.
As always, thanks to all of you for following us and always giving us precious feedback to improve what we do, and I hope you’ll hear again from us soon!
BirdyBro is back with a new, massive release: Beyond Oasis!
The game is known also as The Story of Thor and with its 34 tracks I believe that it is among the biggest releases we’ve ever done.
If this wasn’t enough to grab your attention, then know that the composer is none other than the master of the Mega Drive soundtracks himself: Yuzo Koshiro!
Massive thanks to BirdyBro for this huge contribution and, as a reminder, we’re still accepting contributions so feel free to check our guidelines and submit any rip you want!
While we know that the tools at our disposal are not perfectly accurate, they are so close that it doesn’t really matter unless our material is being used for critical work where a nearly perfect accuracy is needed, but that’s not what Community Releases are for.
Thanks again to our contributors who’ve helped us in our mission up to today and hopefully we’ll be back soon with more news about Mega Drive rips (something amazing is in the works!) and maybe some more arcade goodness!
Thanks to two kind followers on Twitter I discovered that our digital rip of the Sonic 3D Saturn release was lacking 3 tracks: those were tracks not included in the CD-Audio part of the disc, but were part of the 3 FMVs the game has.
In addition to this, there were a couple of errors in the release which have now been fixed.
A quick changelog of what has been updated:
The links have already been updated so you can go and download the fixed release.
Please keep reporting us errors and mistakes so we can fix them ASAP!
