This was the basis for most electronic musical instruments of the 1980s and early 1990s, and it was also the basis for music generation on most 16-bit (and a few 8-bit) computer, arcade, and video game platforms, most notably the Sega GenesisMega Drive, the SNK Neo Geo arcade and home systems, the Japanese NEC PC-9801 family of computers (also called PC-98 and thus the name of this base), and the early Creative Labs Sound Blaster soundcards for IBM PCs and compatibles.

When he woke up, he saw that his new video had surpassed the 300-view mark in less than nine hours, thus forcing him to immediately publish the base for use by other YouTube remixers (however, nobody seemed to make any other remix with this base).

Never had Jedi gotten such an instant bump in viewership before in his YouTube career.

Nobody, however, seemed to use this base for an actual remix, even though it was downloaded 15 times (in two different formats) from Jedis MediaFire account.

He originally wanted to exactly reproduce the percussion done by Junya Ota ( or ZUN), the creator of the Touhou Project, but couldnt find any way to do this by directly typing MML note commands for SSG channel 3.

So he consulted the SoundShock chipmusic forum for help; someone from the forum told him to use rather the virtual K channel (which indirectly maps anyway to SSG 3) and some special preset commands preceding each percussion note.

So he did, and this time he achieved real, ZUN-quality SSG percussion.

He also decided to experiment with instrument switching on FM channel 1: instead of just having the vibraphone all the time on this channel, he alternated between brass, vibraphone (now at a lower octave), and some kind of synthetic organ.

He released, using this new V2 base, This Is Sparta in 16 bits (PC-98 Remix V2) on September 17, 2009, 6:29 PM Pacific.

However, unlike the case with V1, this second version was not very well received by most of his subscribers, especially because of the brass and the lower-pitch vibraphone, and thus this remix was not bumped in viewership like the first one.

The base was never released to public download, either, until after the V3 base was released.

While he kept essentially the same instrumentation on his first three FM channels (save for a few newly-added or tweaked notes) from V2, he reintroduced his original high-pitched vibraphone from V1 into FM channel 4, added a second brass to FM 5 and a second organ to FM 6, increased usage of his first two SSG channels by adding more square-wave notes to the score, and also tweaked the percussion notes on the K channel (indirectly mapping to SSG 3).

He also made use of the OPNAs available Rhythm Module (which on a physical Speakboard card would interface with some ROM chip containing Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) percussion samples) to complement his SSG percussion for more realistic percussion effects (just like the Touhou games).

In addition, he made adjustments to the overall FM and SSG volume settings to allow for better hearing of the Rhythm Module percussion effects.

Its reception has been more favorable this time, and currently it has attained more than 1000 views, thus surpassing the nearly-1000-viewership status of V1.

Supdawg444 and one of Jedi787s subscribers called this third version the definitive one; another subscriber later commented that this base sounds like something from the old Touhou games.

Indeed, this base was arranged to resemble classic Touhou music - not only the SSG percussion resembles Touhou percussion, but also the instrument settings for the brass, the vibraphones, and the organ were directly pulled from the OPNAs driver registers while playing old Touhou music on the Hoot Sound Hardware Emulator.

Unlike the case of V1, V3 was immediately released to public download via MediaFire, and as of October 29, 2009, it has been downloaded 22 times in three different formats.

So, currently, V3 is the only remix that can still be accessed by everyone.

Setting V1 and V2 to private has partly helped V3 get more than 1000 views.

AND MOST RECENTLY, he again did another VERY VERY SMALL tweak to the V3.1 base (technically another slight elongation of the final note played by each one of all melody channels; everything else remains the same), resulting in the V3.2 base, also available for download below.

He also plans to use this base again for The Hammer of Sparta PC-98 Remix.

MML syntax varies from one gaming platform to another and also from one compiler to another; the specific kind of MML used for this Sparta base was PMD98 MML, invented by Masahiro Kajihara ( or KAJA) in 1989 and used by many PC-88 and PC-98 game music composers like ZUN.
