The NES Video-Music Database (NES-MVDB) is a dataset of 98,940 short (15 seconds) gameplay videos from 386 NES games, each paired with its original music piece in symbolic format (MIDI). NES-MVDB is built upon the Nintendo Entertainment System Music Database (NES-MDB).
Examples
MegaMan
Dataset structure
The dataset is organized into 4 directories:
- Midi: midi files from NES-MDB
- Audio: midi files from NES-MDB synthesized as MP3 with the original NES synth
- Videos: gameplay videos organized by game id, and sliced in fragments of 15 seconds
- Video-Midi: a csv file with the game id, name, and metadata of each game in the dataset
