That's right, although the Mega Drive version is a direct conversion of the arcade score.

must have skipped over listening to the soundtrack when doing all the updates. I'll re-update the set now. :P


MOD EDIT (Monkeymook): Set has been compressed and added it to the site's FTP. Thanks, dissident.

I just logged the Thriller dance music from Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. It has been sent to dissident for trimming and tagging.

I think dissident had a rip of Kiss Shot but he had trouble trimming the ending song.

If you get it fixed up, I'd be happy to upload it on the site's FTP.

In that game the music is programmed to fade out in the game so I don't know if you record the fadeout or just loop it. I don't know if the actual songs do it, too or if that's just how the game's programmed. It's probably the latter.

Does it actually fade out during gameplay?

If yes, then for reasons of accuracy, log them as is in the game.

I mean, it's not like the pack can never be re-worked again. :)

Yes and the other songs do it as well. I think it uses the same sound engine as Moonwalker, too. I didn't know that game actually had the song. I thought it was just a myth and for some reason with copyrights they couldn't use the song.

I don't know if dissident still has Kiss Shot. Share what you might have of it if you want.

In regards to Moonwalker, there's two theories as to why this happened:

1. Legal issues; that the company developing the game didn't have the rights to use the music.
or
2. It was removed and replaced in order to promote the BAD album.

Both of those could be true, but the cause is still unknown. As far as the location of the mysterious track, it's been assumed that older versions had it.

I currently have the following dumps of the ROM:
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [!].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [b1].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [h1C].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [h2C].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [h3C].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [h4C].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [p1].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [p1][T+Por_Son_Car].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV00) [T+Por_Son_Car].gen
    -Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (W) (REV01) [!].gen

I first tested (REV01) [!] (stage 3-1, Woods), and got Another Part of Me.
I then tested (REV00) [b1] (stage 3-1, Woods), and got the same thing.
Only in (REV00) [!] (stage 3-1, Woods), did I actually get the song.
All other versions still remain untested.

I am in touch with Hiroshi Kubota. Maybe he would know the answer. I have the rip for Kiss Shot. I could either send it or dissident could. It doesn't matter to me, but he might want to send it. I logged the ending and losing VGM and sent it to him but I don't think he has them anymore. I have a save state for both those parts so I can always relog them.
