Ninja Gaiden - Ryu's Determination by "Y" published on 2016-03-02T07:11:04Z "Ryu's Determination" from the 1989 NES game "Ninja Gaiden", composed by More Yamasan, B.B, and Hakase. This is not from emulation. This was recorded from a genuine front-loading NES console. The NES was modded so its audio would bypass the amp/mixdown stage. This dual-channel audio directly from the 2A03 chip was amplified by a FiiO E6 and captured by a Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro at 24-bit/96khz through Audacity, then mixed down to mono and losslessly encoded using FLAC. In other words, it's essentially the authentic NES hardware sound but without the buzzing noise. All credit for this recording goes to "The Iron Goat". Genre VGM (NES)
