Nah, would like to have playback of the clap as it was on the SNES. Please cease your trolling. I'm making a reasonable request.
I'm not trolling. I suggested that because I honestly think it's the only way for you to hear the sound as you remember. I've made alternate versions of video game music in the past. I find it a fun activity.
You don't have any recorded demonstration of what it should sound like, and you've claimed that you can't find that recording anywhere. You've also rejected 2 hardware SNES recordings so far as being fake because they don't sound the way you remember, and/or you've invented some strange idea that the sound only happens in certain gameplay conditions?
Step 1 for you should be to demonstrate that it exists. Find a recording. Find a SNES and make a recording. Even just finding a second person who remembers the same thing would be a start. Until then the only solution I can possibly offer is
accepting that your memory might be false, which happens. To this day I think
Every Breath You Take by The Police has slightly different lyrics than it actually does, and the memory feels as real as anything to me.
I'm sure that it's not a false memory because I notice the lack of energy between the experience on the console vs the experience on the emulator. The energy is higher on the console because the clap heightens the "get up and go" of the song. I looked at the SPC in Super Jukebox and I think what's happening is channel 6 is failing to swap the crash cymbal at voice 36 for the clap. Not sure why that is, though it might well have nothing to do with the emulation... it could be a bad dump.
If I could prove the clap is in the sample set, then maybe that would be persuasive, but I know it's not easy to rip the samples from the ROM itself, let alone play them back with the correct tuning. The clap does feature in FFV (town theme "Harvest") and the two games largely used the same instrument set... probably not persuasive though.
I'll find someone else who has the CDs (and the game) and confirm from them.
