Recovered OrgMaker (Organya) v1.3 / v1.3b and Early Sample Tracks

Hi everyone,

Some of you may have seen this YouTube upload:

https://youtu.be/E_ivmJq3b1o

As noted in the video description, this is a re-upload of an old Nico Nico Douga video, and I was the original uploader.

These files were originally released by Studio Pixel around 2000. I just happened to still have a copy, and since they don't appear to be included in the versions currently archived online, I thought it would be worthwhile to preserve and share them here.

As far as I can tell, these sample tracks are not included in the currently archived OrgMaker releases, including v1.0, v1.1, v1.3.2, or any later versions.

Unfortunately, I no longer have the original LZH archives or the accompanying text files.

My memory is a little fuzzy, but as far as I remember, v1.3β included seven sample tracks, and Open00.org was added in v1.3 release, bringing the total to eight.

One thing I can't fully explain is the timestamp of Field03.org. It should already have been included in version 1.3β, yet the copy I have is timestamped 22 minutes later than the v1.3 executable itself.

My best guess is that the file may have been updated shortly before the release. Another possibility is that my copy was accidentally overwritten shortly after v1.3 was released, although that seems rather unlikely given the timing. I can't completely rule it out, though.

 

I don't know how to phrase this, but thanks for archiving!

 

Wow! Thank you for preserving and sharing! These tracks are great!
I'm curious though, what made you upload this now? Was there a recent surge of attention to the video or its reupload? Have you been online since uploading that video, or aware of trends in interest in Cave Story's history all along? What's the whole story behind obtaining those files, uploading a render, going offline for so long, and suddenly resurfacing to share the files? It's all so mysterious

 

Really happy to see these files still exist somehow, and very surprised to see you still around and suddenly return (?!) Thank you for uploading these!! I would have thought they were lost forever, let alone that you would come back in 2026 to upload it. When I first saw the original video on NicoNico, it was really nice to hear those songs, and I've listened to the video many times since then, so thank you for sharing it.

About Field03, I thought too that it would be likely that pixel only saved an updated version of that file 22 minutes after making the new build, and just included it in the LZH then.

I wonder, if you saved these songs, if you have anything else from that time, like old Cave Story test versions, executables, devlogs, things like that ... We have Cave Story v0.9.0.6 and other assorted versions (and the v1.0/v1.1 of Organya) from kind people who uploaded those a few years back, but it seems like the amount of people who could have saved them is very low, and I suspected you could have salvaged those versions as well. Either way, I'm glad this is preserved now.

To answer your question, it all started when I randomly came across that YouTube re-upload recently.While reading through the comments on the video, I noticed many people mentioning how rare and hard to find these specific files are now. Seeing the reaction from the community made me realize that the old data I happened to save was actually lost to time for most people and holds significant preservation value.That was the main trigger for me to make this post and share the files with everyone here.

Do you by any chance have anything else by Pixel from around that time? Stuff like the post above yours mentioned, but also potentially MIDIs from his website and such.

I don't have any old Cave Story builds, devlogs, or other Pixel-related files that aren't already preserved somewhere.
I don't recall Pixel having any MIDIs available on his website, either.
If I happen to come across anything else while looking through my old files, I'll definitely share it, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

 

holy friggin beta

 

very exciting! these are quite fun to study with orgmaker, the old versions are pretty interesting. thank you for sharing!
