Does anybody know whether this demo ROM was ever put on the internet?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmYO4aXgvOQIf yes, where can I get it?
Should be available on
this page; click the screenshot to download.
edit:
a Famicom Disk System version is also available
Where else have I heard that tune? Was it used again in a later demo?

It even says so in the scrolling text in the demo.
Also Track 5 of Jurassic Park NSF.
The original Stars SE demo has a bug where it never disables frame IRQ and crashes, I made a fixed version that acknowledges and disables frame IRQs whenever it hits an IRQ. The demo also resets the sound phase during pitch slides though, and that wasn't fixed.
Ah yes, I've definitely listened to the Jurassic Park NSF. Thanks.
I didn't watch the whole text (kinda boring to wait it out, really) but I was thrown off because it said the music was original early on in the text?
Thanks for the link. The NES version doesn't work on fceux or Nestopia for me though. Only the FDS version.
This demo is the most C64-sounding NES ROM I've ever seen, apart from files that use the Namco sound chip. Is there an easy way to rip the music from the ROM and convert it to an NSF, so that I can watch it in FamiTracker (with the help of the NSF Importer)?
Try the fixed NES file posted here, it works in FCEUX.
The NSF was ripped a long time ago, my copy has a modification date of 7-3-1999.
Thanks. I'll have a look at it. Maybe I can find some tricks to make the title song in my game yet a bit more C64-like.

Also Track 5 of Jurassic Park NSF.
Also a
mash-up with "Larger Than Life" by the Backstreet Boys.
Also a mash-up (
nsf |
ogg preview) with "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)".
Also the song that inspired it,
"Hot Water" by Level 42.
Also I just fixed the music engine too....
Love how the scroll text says it was tested on a NES, but that was the previous demo using the ripped music. The original Stars SE not only doesn't work at all on hardware, but also has music engine bugs that didn't manifest themselves on the emulators of the time.
Thanks for fixing the bugs!
In my defence, I was young. I needed the money. That guy promised me the photos would never get out...
I mean, I did test it out using an EEPROM cartridge, but usually through a Game Genie, since my NES' cartridge slot was flaky with carts on their own. That was the mistake that meant some specific bugs didn't get caught by me.
