It's a shame that a lot of devs weren't able to take advantage of Sega's hardware properly
Cameron Scott
Genesis synth guitar sounds like an orchestra of farts.

Compared to this literal brrrrrrrrrap

SNES had objectively better hardware, but you can make good sounding OST with shit soundchips anyway. It all boils down to preference.
Jose Harris
It sounds like a DOS game
Both used the sound blaster right?
Elijah Rogers
Both are great at what they do.
SNES had majestic JRPG soundtracks, Genesis had kickass action soundtracks and also had the Sega CD later on for CD quality music, but as we know the biggest JRPG developers of the time didn't put their games on it.

I love the genesis but its soundchip wasn't anywhere near as good as the SNES'. That isn't to say that it couldn't have been used well by people that cared enough to try, Sonic 1-3K prove that alone. But other than Sega themselves you either had really shitty music or people sticking to specific kinds of music since they worked better on the genesis' soundchip.
Ryder Garcia
>which one had the better soundchip
Objectively the SNES.
Angel Gomez
>tinny twangs = good music
never understood segafags
Carter Bell
/vr/ discussion belongs on
Cooper Gray
No. Soundblaster is years ahead.
Both used Yamaha chips though, the genesis used the YM2612 and 1st gen Soundblasters used YM3812.

I've always been partial to the Sega Genesis when it comes to music.
It had the the true late 80s sound with it's nasty Yamaha chip.
People were doing wonders with it.

There are some tracks which sound worse now that they used to before, for instance this:

TVs used to have disgusting flat sounding speakers, even in the late 90s but people forget that. This harshness wasn't something you'd hear when you played the game back then.
Sega was superiour to SNES when it came to string instruments:

Find the SNES version of this on your own if you want your ears to bleed, I'm not putting that shit in my search history.
Aaron Howard
You've never played the consoles on a period appropriate TV. Those twangs sounded pretty fucking cool. Very similar to arcade machine music.
Cooper Cox
Both the genesis and snes were able to produce amazing music, we don't need this pointless discussion.

I don't remember nintendo literally saying 'NINTENDOOO' when you turn it on, I think the answer is obvious(ly sega.)
Jaxson Gray
lol
snes youtu.be
Mega youtu.be
Chase Harris
both sucked desu. At least, they could play some shitty sounds at times. Ie. Super Mario World, X-Men for Genesis.
I liked the PC Engine/Master System/MSX/GBC ear splitting sound chips

Tetris Attack does.

SNES had a better soundchip. More PCM channels, actually mixed and not interpolated, ring-buffer delay.
This isn't to say that the YM2612 was awful (like the YM2149, and I got wonders out of that piece of shit with a few tricks and interrupt timers), but the OPN2 was definitely the cut-price version of those operator chips, and the whole family of Yamaha FM was not exactly easy to follow. There are numerous things it can't do, only 2 channels are able to do anharmonic FM, the multiplex mixing produces a harsh sound (still sounds harsh through vintage gear, just not quite as bad) that is very rarely what you want (unless you are using XORmod).
The limit of the SNES is the small amount of usable sample memory. The limit of the Genesis, more what you can't do with the very limited ops available to you.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of that guy who's doing the Sega Saturn homebrew cartridge work. That thing has a really unexpectedly nice soundchip that can do almost any op pattern.

That is a good comparison, I'm dying here.

Instead of posting videos of badly written emulators why don't you go worry about your favorite game company releasing yet another dud console in a roll. I'm sure there's a quarantine thread.
Ryder Ross
>comparing the soundchips
>not comparing the actual music
Yeah. Totally unbiased.

Better than wasting money on a single console. No one wanted to plop down hundreds of more dollars on add ons. Why do you think the 32x only has like 10 games?

How can Sega Genesis compete with this?

>i dislike the genesis so i must be a nintendrone
Dominic Long
I like the music of SNES Earth Worm Jim better but ill admit that the Sega version is better in almost every way.
Carter Allen
Henry Miller
Because Sega released their new console the same year.
Their timing and marketing was "good". That's why they went bankrupt. Nothing to do with their hardware.
Bentley Nguyen
The SNES was better for the job nine times out of ten.

doesnt matter desu the genesis & the snes are the two greatest consoles of all time

How can Sega even compete?
Logan Collins
I remember firing up Final Fight for the first time on my SNES on Christmas day. We had our tv and stuff running through a stereo system and when the first level started up, it was awe-inspiring.
Those pounding beats matched my pulse as I delivered street justice to the Mad Gear gang. Genesis could never deliver percussion of this magnitude and its cacophony of electronic diarrhea will be on the same level as this.
Gene-tards BTFO.

Even back then, consoles couldn't dream of competing with PC.

Back then PC faggots were running MT32's and pretending like that digitized fart sequencer was worth a shit.

I hope you are baiting because Final Fight sounds and plays like shit compared to the arcade, which has hardware closer to the genesis.
