(Yes yes, I know, this was written in January. What can I say? I'm kicking butt in some developments right now so knocking out stuff now to clear the books for when I go camping later) ;)

 

So while trying to get a mod to play on the Sega Genesis (or more specifically my Sega Gopher portable) I came across the resource to give me hours and hours of jukebox fun... through VGM music. The VGM being the music resource type used most of the time on the Genesis.

 

They had the VGM files for the first Bubsy but not the second. Either Bubsy 2 used a different music format or Bubsy 2 has not been decompiled yet? Or that I've found.

 

Here is the jukebox you can play on the Genesis with all the music from the first Bubsy game:

Vgm-Bubsy1.bin

 

All of this made possible from this location:

Here are the track names. I love how one guy below in the notes that came with the VGM files remarks "What the hell is up with the titles?" :P

Notes:

1.01: General cleanups.

 

After a week or so of late nights with the MAME

debugger, I've finally got something to show

for it. :) This soundtrack lost quite a bit in

the conversion from the SNES -- not only do

some of the tunes pop and click like hell (they

do this on real hardware...I checked; nothing I

can do about it, though), but several of the

boss themes are missing, as are variations for

the waterslide and score tally themes. The

remnants of these still exist in the Genesis

version, though, as each stage has seperate

pointers to not just the level BGM, but also

the invincibility theme, waterslide theme,

score tally theme, and a bunch of other stuff.

Sadly, though, no unused tracks this time.

Guess they really were minimal with the

conversion on this one... Ah well, enjoy the

tunes! -DJSW

SPC set - what the hell are up with the titles?

I noticed there was a complete list of music from the original Bubsy game at spunkyradbobcat.tumblr.com. The playlist shown there:

 

1. War of the Woolies (main theme song)

2. Hill Stream Blues (levels 1-3)

3. Tunnel Vision (underground parts of levels 1-3)

4. Fair is Foul (levels 4-6)

5. The Cattanooga Iron Horse (levels 7-9, trains)

6. Wool Wool West (levels 7-9, canyons)

7. Bluegrass Bobcat (levels 10-12)

8. Woolering Heights (levels 13-15)

9. Day the Wool Stood Still (level 16)

10. Mission: Impervious (invincibility shirt)

11. Shadow Bopping (Shadow Bubsy shirt)

12. Clean Only (level 1-3 waterslides)

13. Wet Peeve (level 10-12 waterslides)

14. Kick Some Grass (level 3 boss)

15. The Maim Event (level 6 boss)

16. Hoedown Showdown (level 9 boss)

17. Wild and Woolie (level 12 boss)

18. Treetop Tyrants (level 15 boss)

19. Polly and Ester, Queens of Rayon (level 16 boss)

20. Field Yield (score tally)

21. Twine Talley (score tally)

22. Whitewater (score tally, levels 10-12)

23. Woolie Keep Trying? (continue music)

24. Died in The Wool (game over)

 

However, on the Tumblr site, it seems that it actually merges "Clean Only" and "Wet Peeve" into a single file, and from "Wet Peeve" on, it's actually playing the music of the next title (i.e., "Wet Peeve" is actually playing "Kick Some Grass", "Kick Some Grass" is actually playing "The Maim Event", and so on, down to "Woolie Keep Trying?" actually playing "Died in the Wool". And "Died in the Wool" is actually playing the victory tune (which goes with the victory animation), which is not listed, but should be a #25 on the list.

Addendum:

After looking closely through the list provided here again and noticing "Tail's End (ending theme)", and listening to what spunkyradbobcat plays as "Died in The Wool", it's clear that "Tail's End" should be the #25 on the list.
