[NES] Hana no Star Kaidou - "Track 16" by Jacopo Tore & Andrea Licheri

[JacopoTore]

You may invent a title. What do you have in mind? Do you know what this song is used for in-game?

If you don't, there are plenty of NES emulators online that you can play the game on. I found a translation patch for the game here.

I read another time and two users say track 16 is good, why you say that I m ignoring? I think you are ignoring these two users

[LeviR.star]

You are ignoring this site's administrator, who reaffirmed my post and told you this (in case you somehow missed it):

Just to comment on this real quick - yes, as Levi said, please do your research to see if there are any more descriptive titles. Track number should only be used if there is really no information available.

I think I know what I'm talking about here. I suggest you finally start trusting that, and find a real name for your sheet, by any means necessary. For the last time, no one here is going to do that for you; Static, Code_Name_Geek and I have been patient and have already done beyond what is expected of the updaters.

Hi, I can't start the game via Mame emulator, can you tell me where to download it working? I use Linux and Mac 10.9 but I can't get it started I don't understand if the problem is mine or the OS or the emulator or the Rom

[LeviR.star]

I can help you with that; here's a list of NES emulators I found: https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/best-nes-emulators-pc-android/

MAME is meant for emulating arcade systems, which is why you couldn't get it to work before. Feel free to ask more questions, as there's multiple people here that know how this works.

I'm going to say this again as a reminder since it's been a while:

Have you played the game before, or do you know where there might be information online that would help us search for potential titles?

[JacopoTore]

Good morning Latios, unfortunately I did other research but I was unable to find the information, I downloaded the game but it is not in English, also in the Mac and in Linux I was unable to start the rom (I don't know why) I had to use it in a virtual machine on linux and it's started but the game is jerky so I have to find time to understand what to do and play.

Here's an English patch for the NES ROM: https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2382/. All you have to do is find a program for your computer that can apply the patch to the original, and it'll be in English when you play it.

There's no rush, take the time you need to play through it so you understand the context of the song you're looking for. Is it a "Level Clear" theme, mini-game theme, or whatever else? Once you find out where it's used, we can decide what to call it.

Finally I finished the game and I never heard this theme. I think we can title it as "Unused"

I don't think we should be sure about that; the article for this game on The Cutting Room Floor has nothing about unused tracks, so you must not have triggered an event that plays the song.

If I may ask, why are you submitting sheets with consistently scarce resources/information? Are these arrangements assignments made by your students, meaning that you have to pick obscure songs that are less likely to already have sheet music available?

This is a bit frustrating for me. Actually I don't know what to do.
Unfortunately I spend 90 percent of my time on music (playing, writing, teaching, listening, reading). I no longer have time for video games in this period ... maybe the quarantine has given me some breathing space.
Initially I didn't consider this title problem ... I had downloaded some soundtracks from Zophar, then after a couple of years they changed many titles (from track15 to track16 for example), but I completely ignore the reason ... it shouldn't be one concern of those who download, but of those who upload these soundtracks. Least of all I worried about having to give the music some titles! I would never afford ...
I have a lot of respect for those who did these works (composers but also those who copied and divulged the music), for this reason I would like them to be brought to light (albeit with small steps), regardless of the title
I really like to spend my time for music, this is a job for me, but I would also like to do it for charity, for fans and lovers of 8bit music for video games. During the transcriptions of these simple music I have the opportunity to explain many very important things of music (such as the meter, the tonality and the rhythm), my students have fun even if it is difficult for them to transcribe (but for who is not it?) In addition to the didactic and charitable purpose, I also believe it is important to achieve the goal of gratification on the part of students to see the fruit of a fatigue that does not end with the delivery of the task, but will remain alive and available to everyone. One day they will be proud of these small goals and will continue their charitable works autonomously

If I may ask, why are you submitting sheets with consistently scarce resources/information? Are these arrangements assignments made by your students, meaning that you have to pick obscure songs that are less likely to already have sheet music available?

I think we should be fine to stop here. There's only so much looking we can do.

Notes look fine, I've updated the sheet with a few minor spacing fixes and the submission with the arranger info. In the future please be mindful of right-aligning the composer text, not putting too much space between the composer and arranger text, and using a PDF exported that matches the page size in the Finale file.

Approving.

(also whoever looks next the source is here)

I found a source on Zophar's Domain

[Maelstrom]

that was a wild ride to read through.

That said, I think it reached a suitable conclusion. I'll accept it now.
