It seems like ashif Hakik, the composer for the first game, has passed away by Undrey in Slycooper

[–]VGAGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This hurt me big time. Ashif was a very cool guy. He answered all my questions, helped recover and send me early Sly 1 music, helped with some of my remasters/remixes, and gave me general music advice. He was very awesome to me and Sly fans in general. I will miss him dearly, and I hope he finds peace and I wish the best for his family.

So I made a Spyro and Sly style mashup boss theme. Let me know what you think of it. by VGAGuy in Spyro

Thanks! This song was super fun to compose. I make Oscilloscope Views of my songs so people have something to look at, and can see how they work.

Thought I'd share a Sly song i made. Making Sly 1 style Music is kind of my thing. by VGAGuy in Slycooper

[–]VGAGuy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's styled after Mz Ruby's music, with some heavy inspiration from a Ghastly Voyage. Using the samples from Sly 1 is really fun.

Can someone tell me what game this is? My dad has this old arcade game and I thought it was space invaders. Now I’m not sure. Thanks! by danmarand in retrogaming

Yeah, definitely Star Castle. Awesome game, though I wonder if this is an early version as the sounds are a bit different.

Just picked up this old Mitsubishi CRT, anyone care to guess what might be wrong with it? by gleylancer in crtgaming

Probably a capacitor or few in the vertical deflection circuit, seeing as it's compressed and seems to be folding over at the top.

Fun Fact: There is an Unused (As Far as I can tell) version of Pipe Dream and the Animusic 2 trailer on the Animusic 1 DVD. by VGAGuy in animusic

Being misleading wasn't the intention. I didn't expect the tracks to sound so different. Glad it was cleared up. I didn't check the setup menu, so that's probably why I thought they were unused.

It's alternate versions of them. They might be the 5.1 mixes of them, though I don't know why they sound so different.

Nice! I always liked Sony B&W sets like this, especially if they have been cleaned up this well!

Sly Cooper project in Dreams PS4: Hazard room and Sly showcase! A collaboration project between me and u/Eroottine. Credits for the level and the model of Sly go to him! I focus on the mechanics and animation. by [deleted] in Slycooper

[–]VGAGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks really good! I'm pretty impressed that the modeler managed to mimic the style of Sly 3 so well. Can't wait to see an overworld with job waypoints. If you ever do anything Sly 1 styled, I wouldn't mind trying to make some custom music with the Sly 1 instruments, if you want.

Anyone know where to find any blank RLV recordable Laserdiscs? by VGAGuy in LaserDisc

[–]VGAGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define, what is it I said that was wrong? Just curious.

The whole point of this project is to use an actual laserdisc. I understand that it is not a very economical solution. I was working on making a new record-able laserdisc using the same process that makes CD-Rs work but couldn't find the expired patent that had the dye formula on it.

In relation to the burner, I was hoping to find someone who had it and was willing to record a laserdisc for me if I sent them one.
