Midi Shrine Updates

Sep. 6, 2000: Well.... guess it's about time to put something on the page about this.....

I find that with my work, my girl, and my rapidly growing youngster, I don't really have time to update this page anymore..... What's up will stay up (money staying in supply) but updates will be few, if at all.

If anyone would like to take over the site, drop me a line and we'll talk it over and I'll do what I can to help you.

Mar. 19, 2000: Sorry for the lack of updates Y'All. My job, my girl, and my justovertwomonthold boy are really using up all of my time. I'm taking a couple moments here to put a file online which was contributed by Billy Wick to the site though. I'm always tickled to receive files directly from the authors where I can give proper credit.

Here's the file (It's also linked, as normal from the DW1 page, with Billy's Website. Check it out!)

Dragonlord 3

This is a really well done version of Dragonlord, give it a listen!

Hopefully I'll be able to update with the masses of midis I have on my HD at some point. I'll post on the MBoards whenever I finally get it done. May the Scwartz be with yas!

Oct 31, 1999: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Looks like Dustin is getting some space to keep the Shrine alive ^_^ I'll update the URL as soon as I get it. I've added a Misc. page to the Midi Shrine, because I've got a couple of new tunes that don't really fit on any of the other pages. And without further ado... here come the midis! (finally =P )

DW1 Level Up! !NEW!

DW2 Overworld Arranged-- Battle Arranged-- Tower Music

DW3 Shrine Arranged-- Overworld Arranged-- Roll the Dice

DW4 Zenethia-- Akemto-- Heavilly Arranged Boat Music

DQ5 Ending Music !NEW!-- Papas Theme !NEW!-- DQ5 Medley !NEW!-- Tower Music-- Cottage-- Sailing Ship

DQ6 Ending Music !NEW!-- Another End Music-- Thou art dead !NEW!-- Cottage-- Another ver. Cottage

DQM Overworld

Unknowns DQ3SUGO

!NEW!Misc. Midis DQ7 Theme?-- When Worlds Collide

Identify that Unknown if you can! The Midis with the !NEW! next to them are entirely new tunes of which a version has not appeared at the Midi Shrine until now. All others are new versions of tunes I already had online.

I've decided to do the file update *What's New*'s like this from now on and eliminate the *NEW* listings on the individual pages. It just made them too hard to maintain. Probably be easier to come back and find tunes you missed this way anyhow.

I'm off to check the sites for more new midis I've missed, then it's off to either the DW3 FAQ, an online version of one of my text FAQs, or whatever project strikes my fancy when I sign off. Or maybe Might and Magic VII.... LOL

Oct 25, 1999: Well, so much for that plan =P This isn't much of an update, things have been pretty hectic on my homefront lately with the baby on the way and my work schedule turning into a nightmare. Not to mention the amount of time that Might and Magic VII takes out of me ~_^
Anyhow, still nothing really new online here. Sorry 'bout that, I'm fallin' way behind. The main purpose of this update is to inform everyone I'm still alive and to mention all the big DQ news. Head on over to Dustin's Message board (Link from the links page or main Midi Shrine page) because that's about all of the Shrine that's left!! The site is down. Keep up with the happenings there and help out if you can! Games being translated, Enix of America is back, there's lots to report. I'll try to get back in gear and get updates online soon as I can.
I also added one new link to the links page, and if you head on over to my Goblin's Domain page you'll find the link on the Gamefaqs page to my DW3 FAQ in progress. Signing off for now

Aug. 2, 1999: No Midis online yet in this update. Been too busy dealing with messed up servers, getting the new updated DQ/DW Shrine Online, and loving on my girl and soon to be baby ^_^ I fixed a few of the links and this is mainly to let you know there are a load of new Midis will be coming online soon. Just want to get the new server established and all the Midis moved to there so that all of them will be in one place and easier to manage.

My girl will be out of town visiting family for baby showers and the like for over a month ::Pout:: So I'll prolly throw myself into my 'Net work while she's gone. Expect lots of stuff to go online between now and September.

May 2, 1999: Midi Update complete!! Ding!
After fighting my servers, moving half a dozen things, editing all my pages and too many other things too numerous to mention.... the new midi's are online!

First off, I added a link to the G.I.A. Andrew V. has great connections to the industry and gets news pretty quick, and they have a nicely designed humerous page.

There are new versions of tunes on the DW2, DW3, DW4, DQ6 pages, lots of arranged tunes in this update

The DQM page has a new tune on it, identified from the unknowns page by Dustin ^_^

The DQ5 Page has a brand spanking new tune, the Casino! Gamble away!

The Unknowns page is updated with two new tunes, check this page and see if you can identify my unknown tunes and have your name preserved for posterity next to it on the correct page when it gets there ~_^

April 30, 1999: Geeesh! My ISP sold out and I'm having to change my e-mail and web addy's for the stuff I have there. Therefore, I had to change almost EVERY page I have on the web. Those things now stand corrected on all my pages and I'm getting ready to work on Dustin's right now. A midi update is coming here to the Shrine soon. (relatively speaking with me LOL)

March 12, 1999: Finally! Got this update done ^_^ Been a little busy spending time with my girl, so that's my excuse LOL hehehe

You'll find there are new versions of tunes on the DW2, DW3, DW4, DQ5, DQ6, and DQM pages. Finally got a non-crashing version of DW3cave up there for those of you afraid of those zipped crashers. It's from the DQ3 Reprise. Also a few interesting remixed tunes in this update. The DW4 Wagon remix is neat, give it a play ^_^

You'll also find a couple of new tunes on the Unknowns page, drop me a line if you can identify them for me.

Put up a couple new links a while back... First off is the Dragon Quest News Network. Great up to date news site and link site. Something we've needed badly. In fact, my translation links are out of date, so check at DQNN for up to date links on that. Also added a link to a great DW1 site called DW1 online. He has a GREAT wealth of information up there that I've never seen presented before, and it's a VERY nicely designed page. Well worth a visit, so drop on by there and tell 'em Darkni sent you ^_^ He's got cheat codes, BTW ~_^

Jan 2, 1999: Great Googly Moogly! Darkni's at it again!

First off, so much for the unknowns page ^_^ Cliff and Neil_ took care of all those in short order. They've been moved to the DQM and DW3 pages where they belong. I feel like such a lazy bum on some of those. If I'd just went through my files I'd have been able to identify those myself =P

Next on the agenda, how's about two new battle midis? New versions on the DW3 and DQ6 page.

The gem of this update though is on the DW2 page. Check out this MASSIVE 35 minute medley midi I found. I left all the "New!"'s from the previous update this time, since it hasn't been too long since the last one.

Dec. 29, 1998: What's this? Darkni gets off his lazy rear and updates!
*Shock! Gasp! Shock!*

Check out each and every page except DQ6 for new versions of tunes and even a few brand spanking new tunes I hadn't found yet. Also, check out the Unknowns page and see if you can identify any of those. Have your name preserved for posterity on the page if you identify a tune for me first ^_^

Now, off to work on that DQ1-2 (DQ1) Online FAQ... after I listen to a few new .wav files about two dozen more times ~_^

Sign my guestbook dagnabbit Y'all!!! Hehehehehe

Dec. 5, 1998: It's finally up and functional! If you missed the Dragon Quest Monsters Midis when they were posted on the message boards, they're now a part of the Midi Shrine.

I also put a little Online indicator on the main page to show when I'm online with ICQ. If it says indicator disabled I'm either really busy or the ICQ thingie is messed up like it is right now =P Also added a guestbook after several suggestions that I oughta have one.

I've got a whole bunch of other tunes almost ready to go up for all the games pages, so look for an update in the hopefully near future. Provided I can tear myself away from ICQ chats long enough....Heyas Bails n' Sleep! ::Grins::

Nov. 21, 1998: Removed all the What's New entries that didn't list file updates from this page.

And I suppose you probably noticed that the entire Shrine has a brand spankin' new (and hopefully easier to navigate) look. This new format is based upon a design by Dwaine (of the DQ Anime and Manga page) and just might give you a sense of Deja Vu come the new year *Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge, Say no more!*

You'll notice there's a link to a DQ Monsters page on the navigation bar, but it's just a placeholder page at the moment. I've got a half a dozen tunes or so to put up there when I finish the file update in the (hopefully) near future. Also oodles of tunes for the rest of the pages as well. I'll announce on Dustin's Message board when the new midis all go up as well as here on the news page.

Oct. 8, 1998: Fixed the link to Zophar's... again! This is getting to be a habit! Also fixed the link to DQ/DW Fanclub. Added a text only version of the links page for those who don't want to wait for the buttons to load. Sorry, you're still stuck with me Python sound effects though! :P

New Tunes! Check the DW2, DW3, DW4, and DQ5 Pages for a few new versions of tunes. I'm keeping my eyes peeled on the Japanese sites right now, I expect the first DQM and DQ7 Midis to start surfacing in the near future, and pages will go up the day I find one of those!

ATTENTION WIN 3.1 USERS!!! I think I may have discovered at least one cause of the "crasher" midis. Several in this update I expected to crash, but found that they did not on my Win95 system. My 3.1 system is down at the moment, so if any of you 3.1 users experience browser or media player crashes with the midis in this update.... E-mail me! Don't forget, even if they crash media player/browsers, they still work fine in a midi player.

Sept. 2, 1998: Fixed the link to Zophar's.... again! Zophar changes servers more often than I change houses :P

Changed the Logo, and keep your eye out for updates here in (hopefully) the near future. I'm going to be posting SPC's and the necessary player in order for Midi artists to have a reference to make some versions of DQ tunes that are needed for the Anix DQ1 Clone. I've been busy and haven't gotten enough of them ripped yet to post. They're on the way, however ^_^

No word at all on the unknowns page for the longest time... then Whammo! I get identification from about 3-4 people within a week ^_^ Cliff was the first one to send them in, so he's credited on them. But thanks to everyone who e-mailed and instant messaged me with identifications. All are appreciated, and were certainly helpful in final cross reference checks. Look for new tunes on the DW2, DW3, DQ5, and DQ6 pages.

August 9,1998: Put up a couple more new links. Added some links to important DQ Community projects on the main page next to the "Translate DQ!" Graphic. Click 'em and contribute!

New Tunes: New version of Tower on DW3 page, and the Finale is now on the DW2 page.

Ragnar's Theme from DW 4
