- audio from this video is directly recorded from my NES with no alterations or enhancements. special thanks to coatlesscarl for supplying clean samples from FF7 and for some critiques and alterations that made this cover truly shine.
i guess you could consider this a hybrid of a 6,000 subscriber special and a special christmas upload. or not. whatever you feel like doin'. i hope you enjoy it. one of the main reasons i decided to release it now was rushjet1 being a jerk and linking me to a whole bunch of awful "8-bit" renditions of this song done in GXSCC, FL studio, and god knows what else. so i had to set youtube straight with a proper NES version (well it has VRC6 but if that's too non-NES for you you can bite me).
i originally finished this up back in September but have been adding alterations and enhancements since then. i figured i would save this one for another famicompo but since there might not be another one (or who knows when might be) that i'd go ahead and upload this now. but that's not to say that if famicompo ends up happening that i won't submit this NSF haha.
this represents about 24 hours of work over the course of several weeks. the FTM is 230kb (which is pretty big for one song) and contains 102kb of sample space usage spread over 40 different samples. the choir was a major bitch to get to sound decent, but with careful volume balancing and a lot of tedious work i think it turned out ok.
as always, please let me know what you thought in the comments.

"Oh man, I wonder what he's gonna do for the choir part?"
DOES THE CHOIR PART.
If You Listen One Winged Angel 8-Bit That Makes Her Choir
you did the choir
you did the choir on a fucking NES
all bow before the one true God
Manic Pixel yup...
Manic Pixel actually its a vrc6 not the nes chip.
True, but he used the DPCM channel for the choir, which a stock NES would have anyway.
The choir alone probably would take up half an NES cartridge.
One-Winged Angel: The Theme: The Game
This raises an interesting question: How do you know how much data a song would take up on an NES cart ahead of time?
That choir could probably take up the whole Kirby cartridge
@@esmooth919 the nsf file for this song is 147 kilobytes, and the rom for kirby's adventure is 468 kilobytes
The most advanced chips (VRC 6-7 and MMC5) can handle up to 2MB. That's the largest size for a NES game
If I was a kid in the 80's playing an NES game and I heard this song and choir in this quality I would have been equal parts impressed and terrified.
I once played a Sesame Street game on the NES, starring the Count, and I was astonished to hear how clear his voice sounded in that game. Lol
@@esmooth919 Ah ah ah!
Find...TEN!
_“Now, I shall give Smash this chiptune.”_
Aww, I wanted this pear...
And I wanted this POYO
And I wanted this dis track.
I wanted dis pear
And I wanted dis
you God.. you madman.. you actually fucking did it.. you made the choir.

I lol'd.
@@TurboPancake sahut
Vocal samples are severely underused in FamiTracker music, so when I do hear it, it's seriously amazing. I'm blown away the NES could play samples this clear!
I hope people incorporate DPCM samples into the games they make with NES Maker.

Too bad this is almost half of an entire NES cartridge
you don't need good gameplay when the music gets good enough, just look at silver surfer.
you could write a tic tac toe game under this and this would be the theme. yeah. that'd work.
8BitDanooct1 The most epic game of PONG ever.
Hey, it could be a theoretical multi disk Famicom Disk System game

I see what you did there.
Ok, I was watching this and I was thinking, "Wow, this is actually pretty good, this needs more views." And then the choir came in and I thought, "Holy crap! How did they do that so well?!" Ten outta ten. Excellent work!
hey, thank you. i'm glad shoehorning the choir in there worked out to your liking
@@8BitDanooct1 I'm Honestly Suprised That You Were Able To Get The Choir In There, Considering That This Up About Half A Normal NES Cartridge. Not trying to implement that yours is modified.
i made this unlisted for a while but now it's public again
8BitDanooct1 I dare you to do Super Mario Bros 2 Overworld Theme!
***** Shhhh
Well there's more channels you can use in FamiTracker with different settings so maybe
Hello from 2020.
0:26 don’t mind me
As much as I wanted to see what sort of amazing instrumentation would replace the choir, hearing the choir amidst the rest of the instruments is a special kind of wonder. Extremely good one. Thank you for your wish, you truly did this song justice.
brb, sharing this with everyone I've ever spoken with, looked at, or sneezed in the vicinity of.
But seriously, this is insane, and it immediately leapfrogs the official PC version music since you managed to get the choir in. Kudos!
thanks!
You just squeezed bottle of refreshing cola out of solid piece of granite.
The NES would DEFINITELY struggle. But it'd be amazing to see and hear, EVEN if it struggled.
I was listening to this and I was all "Okay this is awesome and stuff" but as soon as the choir started singing my jaw dropped. Being able to add that to a NES song is beyond incredible. Awesome job, as usual!
Clever how you broke the bell sample up like that to overcome the sample size limitation.
There are a lot of limitations of the NES that can be worked around like this. For example a branch command in the NES's code can only go forward 128 bytes or backwards 127, but a jump command can take you anywhere in the code
When I hear the trumpet countermelody in the second version of the vocal part I know this is a good cover because no one does that for some reason and it’s so cool to me
Me: I wonder if he added the choir?
*choir shows up
Me: ah shit here we go again.
"How hot is the 2A03 chip now?"
"IT'S OVER 9000°C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What? 9000? There's no way that could be right!"
"KAME- HAME- DPCM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111"
*this song starts playing*
Sephiroth is incinerating the chip with it MIND ?! 😱
Excuse me while I go retrieve my jaw from where it fell on the floor.
Not even Chuck Norris can keep his jaw from dropping!
I was all like "ok, this is pretty good" and then the vocalizations started and i kinda jizzed in my pants :v
I think he got too excited
The choir makes me think of Ghetsis's theme from Pokémon Black 2 & White 2. =D
SPAGHETSIS
OWA. Running off real hardware. With the choir. You sir a legit legend.
Goddamnit, you beat me to the upload by a freaking day. Makes my version feel kinda inadequate...
Though I do have to say, you can do amazing things with three extra channels. Awesome job.
Immediately what comes to mind is a little 8-Bit song composed by Matt Creamer/Norrin Radd, called ‘A Barrage of Hostile Abstractions,’ which, like what you did with the choir in this rendition of ‘One Winged Angel,’ does have vocals, and also took an absurd amount of risks by doing so.
What I’m trying to say is, this sounds absolutely phenomenal, even speaking as someone who isn’t a fan of Final Fantasy, but really loves how the song sounds.
Seriously, incorporating the choir must’ve been an absolute nightmare.
I have nothing but great things to say about this.
This is outstanding.
Thank you in advance for being used to help Joel (Vinesauce community) to do his next Destruction stream, even if you aren't involved!
But still, I expect a huge influx of people arriving soon, I was already here and proud but you know
Thank you for making me love this song all over again~ :>
thank you teck for glorious midis that make me want to write muzak
Sephiroth: Shall I give you dis NES?
I will give you dis NESS
I will give you dis PAULA
I will give you dis JEFF
I will give you dis POO
@@angelorivera2768 lmao

I will give you dis PEAR
That chorus creeped me out for a second. That DPCM! Its so accurate!
Chior on this: *exist*
Me: Good! Praise this phenomenon!
Ah... I've been waiting for someone to do this theme in true 8-Bit...
It does not disappoint. I have to admit, I was surprised you managed to get the choir in there, considering the limitations of the Famicom's sound chip.
All and all... This sounds really good. Any chance of you uploading the MP3? I would just use a CZcams2MP3 program. But I'd rather actually have a download link.
there is an FLAC in the description, you could use/convert that, or export wav from the NSF and convert to MP3.
8BitDanooct1 OR, if you wanna do it the hipster way, just play the NSF on an emulator (or a PowerPak) like i did.
I believe it's one of the most impressive tune done with Famitracker. Excellent work here.
I was only ever vaguely aware of final Fantasy but I never touched it...until the long sworded science fair freak show split galeem in half and I heard those notes playing in the background. And that's when I knew, my hair was about to get a hole lot more blonde and spiky and anime styled
Congrats on 6000 subs. This is amazing, and I've always wondered if this could be pulled off on the NES and still sound amazing. Its also nice to finally see a version of this song that isn't just a midi file.
Wow, how did you get the vocals onto the NES with such high quality?
No, the VRC6 doesn't have a PCM channel.
And... Wasn't the NES DPCM 1-bit?
Bero256 || Yes, you're right! I did a quick search on the internet and yeah, it supports both 1-bit and 7-bit
Magic
This is fucking bananas.
The only problem with this is that it's a slightly different tempo than Smooth McGroove's cover so I can't perfectly overlay the two
+waffledoctor87 Audacity, friend. Use Audacity.
+TheAzureNightmare that requires effort
I could do it for you, but maybe it's a bit late since it's a six years old comment
@@canamoxproductions I would appreciate that
@@waffledoctor87 Okay, I'll inform you when I have it
This is the only good 8 bit rendition of owa I've been able to find. Great job, man.
I am in awe of how perfect this sounds
I had no idea Dan could make very good 8-bit remixes apart from making computer virus videos. very nice.
ESTUANS INTERIUS IRA VEHEMENTI, SEPHIROTH!
O.O JEEBUS.
Um ... damn. Good work leaving me speechless, sir.
I love this! Imagine an NES-style final Fantasy VII...
Online to Outdoor I concur.
That does exist.
hahaha you dont even know.
who wants to tell them?

Thank you for not being that person who finds MIDI files and makes "8-Bits" in FL Studio or other MIDI synth programs like that! Honestly, some of these "8-Bits" I hear even have reverb in them!
obviously 8-bit means all sine waves with as many channels as you need to fit the midi you are using
8BitDanooct1 :) Very nicely put :) You ought to also include that reverb can be added as necessary and all those waves are only squares.
8BitDanooct1 dat sarcasm
Wait is this the NES style song overlayed over the original? Or is this all running on a NES, including the vocals? If the latter, holy shit.
this is all running on my NES. it requires a cartridge that can emulate or use the VRC6 expansion chip (in this case the Powerpak), and a small modification to enable expansion channel sounds to be heard (running a resistor between two pins on the expansion port). this can play natively on a famicom if you use any VRC6 cart (Akumajou Densetsu, Esper Dream 2) to play music. try downloading the NSF in the description and opening it in an emulator, it should play the same way.
8BitDanooct1 Amazing. Did any famicom games ever sound this good? or could they not have, because they didn't know how to digitize vocals or drum beats or do midi at the time?
FilmStrife
Actually, the digitization of vocals or drum beats was attempted by some games, but the voices are usually not very clear, though.
***** Implying there'd be enough space on the cartridge with this song
***** 1 word: Bankswitching. 'nuff said
Then he made it to smash.
Honestly should have made it earlier, IMHO.
this is badassser then most people know. it's the first version of Kahoots cover, 8bit and modern digital sounds are coooool .
thanks op for keeping it so clean and authentic
The song spoke to me.
Literally spoke.
How many years did this take you!?
Perfection is here, everyone. I would literally use this in a FF7 NES remake.
I'm sure there exist some...but none that have the capabilities of this song in them.
Plus, I would recreate the entire game in 2D.
MY GOD, dude. This is fantastic.
iirc this took about a month of off and on (mostly off) work to complete. glad you like it
HOLY SHIT!
The accuracy of this compared to the original track is ASTOUNDING! Especially for being two console generations behind!
VRC6で空耳歌詞が聞けるとは思わなかった。
The voice of the chorus sounds different from the original lyrics and words, especially if you are a Japanese speaker. XD
Bells, Frogs, Big Cherries, Peter Pan, Mac and Cheese, SEPHIROTH!
Amazing Dan! As always :) Hope to hear more direct-from-NES stuff, it sounds much more natural this way.
thank you! i might have to record more audio like this.
This is by far the best Famitracker cover I have ever heard! Excellent job!
I am impressed with how you integrated the voices in.
The DPCM Samples alone impress me.
If someone ever made an NES game with DPCM Samples as high quality as the ones in this rendition of the One Winged Angel theme, I’d buy a copy.
there was a reason it wasnt really done though its verry clearly possible.. it comes at the cost of cartridge Space for code & Assets.
He did it. He fucking did it. The choir. On an NES.
THIS IS WHAT I CALL PERFECT VOICE DIGITALIZATION.
nice work, i am glad to see this completed. excellent instrumentation, woof, etc
This sampling is so good I'm gonna cry.
This can't be real! I'm floored at how amazing this is! You sir, are a damn genius. WOW!
Holy crap, absolutely incredible! Gotta love how the samples sound really clean.
The NES wasn't meant to do this.
+MrJimbo1qaz I've seen worse on NES Homebrew tbh
MrJimbo1qaz Bankswitching.
Yeah, but making the NES do _that_ is still nothing short of amazing.
The infamous Solstice Title Screen was half the cartridge. Also if I wasn't fed false facts there's some Famicom mech game that's 8 megs in which they only really sacrificed this for cutscenes. Essentially, it could be gotten away with, maybe...
god damn, dude. this shit is incredible.
Man, youre crazy. I dont have words to describe this...
Even in 2022, OWA is the best FF track existing. And this demake is awesome.
its been years and this still sounds just as amazing as i remember it
Holy shit, that was perfect. I don't throw around the p word often and lightly.
This is really incredible. You did an amazing job, man.
I considered making this the other day, I thought of how to compress the choir to the DCPM channel but now I dont need to. You've done some fantastic work here like I'm extremely impressed
Did a side-by-side comparison to the original. Nailed it spot on. Great job!
this + One-Winged Angel: DECODED (Sephiroth Theme) = awesome.
Because of this, I'm subscribing to your channel. I look forward to more content like this!
Sure, it takes up half of an NES cartridge all by itself, but it pushes the NES farther than anyone ever would have thought possible. That's some goddamn good programming.
the choir is just amazing
just...i'm... i dont even.. i'm defenatly blown away i bow to you 8bitdan!
This is a fucking masterpiece. A's all around.
Best. Achievement on any 8-bit chip. EVER!
Really really impressive.
Wow! Impressive! You deserve a high 5 for all that work! Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The FTM link appears to be dead ... I would've loved to study this :(
Wow impressive
this always reminds me of a C130, no clue why.
This... is outstanding
This is very difficult in famitracker to recreate to 8 bit! (I totally failed doing it) well done!
Geez. That's pretty darn good man.
Ok, I'm very, very impressed.
skip to 0:26
yes... this is a thing of beauty :)
This sounds more like an Nes game track then most other 8bit remixes
Because this was actually made using the Famicom's sound chip technology, so this is technically running on an NES
Oh god, great version! :D
This is pure badassery at its finest. You sir are amazing!
How dafuq did you make those choirs sound so high quality?! Dpcm's cant do that!!!
Bravo sir...
Also the 6 people who disliked this did so probably out of jealousy.
vocals was awsome
lovely
Great work!! :D
but that was AMAZING actually putting this on a nes carteridge
Don't you see cloud? What I'm really here for... Is my mocha. You will not be able to resist me once I have my hands on it.
