CASTLEVANIA

Has anyone ever created a version of Castlevania, castelvania II Simons quest or castelvania III with an orchestral music (MSU-1) ?

of the three, only castlevania 1 seems like a good prospect.  NES games are done via project nested, which is currently no longer being developed. the compatibility list shows that only the first game seems perfectly playable:

you might have better luck with a mesen resource pack? i'm sure there are some already.

Look, it seems to me that it is being updated yes, exactly five months ago the last version came out, which is V1.7...

i've been talking with myself086 in his discord and he has said that he has completed his goals with project nested and that he wants to work on other projects.  i suppose i wouldn't rule out further development from him but i also wouldn't guarantee that there will be any updates from here, either.

There's an interesting version of Castlevania III where the audio between the original Japanese version, with the VRC6's extra channels, was mixed with the US/EU version.

If Castlevania 1 gets a rom hacker make it msu-1, I definitely would convert music for it. Just this artist alone has done orchestra for the whole soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBce7_xyK3c
I am certain on a few tracks I can even find music artists I like even better (like The Noble Demon). It would make a pretty killer MSU-1

But again, things are slowing down on Zeldix so I do not know if this would even happen (I would even assume someone would have jumped onto the idea by now if they were so it seems we are leaning towards a no).

However, if you like Castlevania 4 I am about to release a new set a couple of days from now that I think is really awesome. I am liking it.

Looks like Castlevania is running well in Nested v1.8, so this hack should be feasible. There are lots of options for an AST, I'd be willing to make a pcm pack from this one if a patch were made:
