The Burn-Out: SMASHING Ivolt. The choice of champions.

Anything good ?

Mmm... define good. Tis meatloaf and packet rice. Your basic white trash dinner, but at least it's tasty.

My next day off, I am recording several songs from my GB. They will all be covers and I will then post a thread called: guess the song.
For those of you lucky enough to be here this very moment, you all get a hint. The first few will be from SNES games.

The point is to figure out what song I am covering in 8 bit. My method of play is via midi interface from PC to GB.
Who thinks this a nice idea?

Oh yeah, I think this is a good idea, although I doubt I would be able to guess very many.

[Jazzmarazz]

Seems to me it would be pretty easy. The difference between 8 bit and 16 bit sound isn't that big. Not to mention, we've all heard most of them in midi format quite a few times before.

I figure that I will start out simple and then move on to more modern songs. Also this has very little to do with midi since the sound will be produced from original hardware. I am only using midi as source I still have to set the length of note, pitch, envelope, wave form, octave, etc.

Oh yeah, I think this is a good idea, although I doubt I would be able to guess very many.

Don't worry, Im only starting out with SNES and then moving on. The few I start out with will be well-known classics anyhow.

I'm not a fan of meatloaf but, it's gotta be better than what Jazz eats .

Interesting. So you have a midi keyboard hooked up to a modded Gameboy or something? Sounds like fun.

Have you ever used a VST plugin called Syntendo? It's supposed to emulate the NES sounds. It's pretty fun to mess around with, you might be interested in it if you haven't already seen it.

I don't mind it, although I grew up eating it so I'm probably a bit biased.

Blank GB cartridge flashed with some goofy synthesizer program, if I'm not mistaken.

Y'know, I've never actually played Terranigma all the way through. Listening to the music, I'm thinking perhaps I should.

Oh. My. God. That sounds fucking incredible. Tofu burger I presume?

Ah, I see. Still pretty cool that it's the actual hardware sounds.

To answer your first question, yes. I can hook up any midi capable instrument to my gameboy via this mutha (built by yours truly )!

And as for the software, I am using Famitracker which has an import midi option. If I so chose to, I could output into "fakebit" which is emulated 8bit, or I could do as the pros do and make my GB produce the sounds. That is on official hardware; some say it is noticeably better, me being one.

Tera-what?

Nah, the gf hates tofu.
We buy Morningstar Farms or Boca Burger.

Terranigma. Like Terra (earth) + enigma (mystery). Of course that's just the localized name. SNES action RPG, wasn't released in the US. It has an official EU port though, so you can still play it in English. I downloaded it umpteen years ago when I first discovered emulators, played it for 30 seconds to make sure it worked, then never really got it stated due to all the other games I found at the same time.

Damn son. You're like a mad scientist with electronics. That's freakin' cool. Do you just hook it all up to your computer to record?

Nah, the gf hates tofu.

Boca Burgers are good. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do love me a tasty veggie burger.

That's what I was wondering about . I'd say I'd check it out but, I have lots of games I still need to finish .
