  Cover made by Loeder

      What am I listening to?

  The sounds you hear are from the 2A03 and VRC6 chips. 2A03 is the chip that the
  NES and Famicom use to create sound. VRC6 is an expansion chip made by Konami which
  allows for some extra sound channels. Unfortunately this expansion chip wasn''t
  able to be used by the NES, only by the Famicom. So in short, you are listening
  to the Super Castlevania IV Soundtrack as if it was played by a Famicom.

  Do you want to hear the difference? Castlevania 3 has 2 versions of it''s soundtrack,
  one using the expansion chip and one without! However, please keep in mind that
  I did not try to emulate the Castlevania 3/Akumajou Densetsu style for these covers.

      Is this what it COULD have sounded like on Famicom?

  I''m not exactly clear on the specifics, but yes. The software I make this in (Famitracker)
  allows you to export the music in such a way that you can actually load it in Famicom
  emulators! I don''t think this music could have played along with an actual game,
  seeing as I use some pretty big samples at times. These would have taken up too
  much space. I also added some fade-ins and stereo sound for a better listening experience.
  Neither of these two things are possible on the system, so they will sound a little
  bit different.

  Theoretically, it should be possible to replace the tracks from the Japanese version
  of Castlevania IV with these ones (if a NESdev would like to try that hit me up!!!)'
