What does Genesis music sound like compared to SNES music?

THANKS.

I don't remember Phil Collins singing on the SNES, so I guess Genesis
music sounds better.

IIRC, not as good.

But I guess it also depends on how much effort the sound techies put
into the actual game.

Actually, that argument puts the SNES decidedly in the lead.

I don't like Sega Genesis music. It's coarse and rough and
irritating. Not like SNES music. It's soft. And smooth.

I was going to post about the specs this morning, but had to go to work before I
finished the post.

Taken from http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_...ainment_System and
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis :

[SNES]
~ Specifications:

~ * CPU side
~ o CPU: WDC 65C816 16 bit processor running at 2.68 MHz or 3.58 MHz,
~ with 128 KiB of RAM
~ * Sound side
~ o Sound CPU: Sony SPC700 running at 4.1 MHz, with 64 KiB of RAM
~ o Main sound Chip: 8-channel DSP with hardware decompression similar
~ to ADPCM

[Genesis]
~ Technical Specifications

~ * CPU: Motorola M68000 16 bit processor running at 7.67Mhz
~ * Sound CPU: Z80a running at 3.58 MHz
~ * Main sound Chip: Yamaha YM2612 6 channel FM
~ * Additional sound chip: 4 channel PSG

Technically, the Sony SPC700 is superior to the Yamaha YM2612. Think of it this
way: SNES uses MODs (.MOD, .IT, .XM, etc) and Genesis uses MIDI.

Yeah, but, no


You have to do it in the original format, including the AOL address
