Gradius - Playaround Morimoto.avi - 40MB

もりもと (Morimoto)

Morimoto picks only Speed upgrades and has fun with perfect reflexes. That's certainly something nice to do, because the game scrolls automatically and the player can't affect the speed.

Music

Chiptune Players

All three programs are portable (foobar2000 has an option to install a portable version on install).

Audio Overload

http://bannister.org/software/ao.htm

Almost plays all the formats but the interface is a little poor, does not support m3u playlists or song length data so you have to manually advance to the next song. Mac, Windows and Linux versions are availible.

Doesn't play - sid (Commodore 64), minigsf (Game Boy Advance)

XMPlay (with various native and Winamp plugins)

http://www.xmplay.com/

Most compatible - All formats play

The most versitile player due to the fact it can run its own native plugins as well as the Winamp plugins, also supports m3u playlists.

Best choice for Commodore 64 sid tunes because of the HVSC songlenth database and STIL support, plus the tunes sound better compaired to the foobar2000 plugin.

foobar2000 (with various plugins)

http://www.foobar2000.org/

My main music player for mp3 that also plays most of the chip tune formats, also supports m3u playlists.

Doesn't play - ay (Spectrum), minigsf (Game Boy Advance), mdx (X68000)

Infact if you try to play these format the player crashes.

Other

You could use good old Winamp but the programs got a little too bloated and interface has got way to complex, this was one of the reasons I started using foobar2000, which loads faster and has a nice simple interface.

===============================================================================

===============================================================================
My choice of programs to play these media files are listed below.
===============================================================================

All the programs listed are portable or can be made portable (foobar2000 has
an option to install a portable version on install).

Audio Overload-----------------------------------------------------------------

http://bannister.org/software/ao.htm

I personally never use this player as the interface is rather poor on the PC
Version (MAC version is better), it does play most of the music formats but
doesn't support m3u playlists or song length data so you have to manually
advance to the next song.

MAC, Windows and Linux versions are available.

Doesn't play:-

sid (Commodore 64), minigsf (Game Boy Advance)

XMPlay (with various native and Winamp plugins)--------------------------------

http://www.xmplay.com/

Most compatible - Plays all formats

The most versatile player due to the fact it can run its own native plugins
as well as the Winamp plugins, also supports m3u playlists.

Best choice for Commodore 64 sid tunes because of the HVSC songlenth database
and STIL support, plus the tunes sound better compaired to the foobar2000
plugin.

foobar2000 (with various plugins)----------------------------------------------

http://www.foobar2000.org/

My main music player for mp3 that also plays most of the chip tune formats
and supports m3u playlists.

Doesn't play:- (Infact if you try to play these format the player crashes)

ay (Spectrum), minigsf (Game Boy Advance), mdx (X68000), xa (PlayStation)

BridgeM1 and M1----------------------------------------------------------------

http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=223
v0.7.8a6 "Tommy Tallarico" Arbee's M1 Homepage - 10/01/2008

http://www.e2j.net/
BridgeM1 v0.6.0a14 - Front End - 18/10/2008, Track Listings M1 - 18/04/2009

The only player for Arcade ROM tunes, you can use the command line M1 to play
the tunes but I recommend you use the BridgeM1 front end as this supports
song name lists and game database.

Others-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winamp
http://www.winamp.com/

You could use good old Winamp but the program has got a little too bloated
and interface has got way to complex, this was one of the reasons I started
using foobar2000, which loads faster and has a nice classic simple interface.

The KMPlayer
http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/index.php

This as my main DVD, Xvid and all the other movie formats player, very
configurable (almost too many options to tweak), subtitle support, plays
DTS 5.1 and AC3 5.1 multi-channel files.

===============================================================================

Version 1.10 - 21st November 2010----------------------------------------------

One year since the last updated!!!

Added Japanese machine names.

Moved this document around quite a lot again!! to make it a bit easier to
read.

Added lots of unofficial tunes to the X68000 section.

Version 1.00 - 20th November 2009----------------------------------------------

Moved this document around quite a lot to make it a bit easier to read.

Gradius ReBirth v2 - 2009

Gradius ReBirth - Speech (RWAV - GC DSP ADPCM, 16 bit PCM).

The first 15 tunes, sound effects and speech are all the same for both
versions of Gradius Rebirth.

Version 0.95 - 26th October 2009-----------------------------------------------

Windows version of Gradius Deluxe Pack, contains all the music, speech and
sound fx files from the games.

Version 0.9 - 20th June 2009---------------------------------------------------

Arcade tunes added, you will require BridgeM1 and M1 to play these rom files.

I've added some other Konami games here as some of the tunes are used in
later games like Parodius and Otomedius.
