No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999!

This rendition is not hardware authentic, but it still sounds awesome.
Oh my god, that sounds AWFUL. The tune itself is good, but this right here is the precise reason I hate emulation.
What emulator, in your opinion, best represents PCE audio? I've had decent luck with Ootake and Mednafen/PCEjin.

I especially love the thumpin' tunes.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

I haven't spent enough time with either of those to say, but they've got to be better than MagicEngine (which is what I've had the most experience with).

I really need to figure out how to get mednafen working on my Mac to see how it compares.

Yeah, I remember now why I didn't install it before.

To get it working on a Mac is utterly ridiculous. You have to install DarwinPorts/MacPorts in order to install the emulator. But in order to install DarwinPorts, you have to install the Darwin Developer Tools from your OS installation discs. Developer Tools is 3 gigabytes.

That's.... fucking ludicrous. There's no way in hell I need to waste 3 gigabytes of disk space to install a damn emulator. IMO, the author of mednafen (or the party responsible for the MacOS port) should offer a precompiled binary for download. The number of people wanting to install mednafen that already have Darwin Developer Tools installed is probably ~0. I've never, ever encountered an application that required the user to jump through so many hoops just to complete an install.
