Redbook audio is really only feasible in games that are divided into discrete levels that each fit entirely into RAM (so again, arcade-style games, but not RPGs, dating simulators, etc.)Īnd in any case Redbook only handles music sound effects always have to be synthesized. Redbook audio takes tons of disc space, can't be seamlessly looped (it has to fade out and start again), and you can't read any other data off the disc at the same time it's playing. The existence of PSF rips should put to lie the idea that all or even most PSX music is Redbook. Many of them, especially large and complex games, play chip synthesized music just like cartridge games. Not all games on CD-based systems even use Redbook audio. The idea that all CD-based systems effectively have equal audio capabilities because they can all play Redbook audio is a misconception.

Makendou Z and Chip-chan Kick!), and am only superficially familiar with other games for it (most notably, Kishin Douji Zenki: Vajura Fight). (And yes, I do know about the fates of three other fangames for different franchises, and my brother and I have agreed on a workaround should any legal issues come up.) Should I ask why the PC-FX had such inferior audio for the most part to the Playstation or Saturn despite using the same audio format (Redbook), or should I ask why Chip-chan Kick! in particular sounds so much more vibrant than those other games (if not most of the system's entire library)?įor greater context, here's where this whole thing really stems from: (Ditto with the TurboGrafx-16 CD, really.) Right now, I've just checked out YouTube footage of various other games for the same system, but while Chip-chan Kick!'s audio could compete with most games for the Playstation or Sega Saturn (seriously, listen to it!), that in the Zenki game and the games I just checked out right now (including Angelique Special, Deep Blue Fleet, Sparkling Feather, Classmates 2, Team Innocent: The Point of No Return, and Power DoLLS FX) sounds like SNES material. So, I've only played a total of two games for the PC-FX (Makeruna! Makendou Z and Chip-chan Kick!), and am only superficially familiar with other games for it (most notably, Kishin Douji Zenki: Vajura Fight).
