PFG 9000 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hey all. A few years back I ripped the soundtracks from quite a few Lynx games and converted them to .ogg's. At the time, the only Lynx community I was aware of was the dwindling gang at gamefaqs's Lynx sub-forum, so there was very little interest in my project. But I still have all the rips if anybody here is interested. I could probably upload them to rapidshare or something for an easy way to exchange them. ...or are they already out there somewhere? I was unable to find too much online back then. I also did a bunch of Jaguar soundtracks, but the sound quality is horrid since I didn't have a composite cable at the time and had to go through my TV's headphone-out jack. (Urk!) But I suppose I could upload those as well if anybody wants them. Oh, and the tunes I ripped are: Alien Vs. Predator Title Screen Mission Briefing Level 1 BGM Level 2 BGM Level 3 BGM Level 4 BGM Level 5 BGM Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure Egypt Guitar Egypt Harp Egypt Flute Rome Guitar Rome Lyre Europe Guitar Europe Organ Texas Guitar Texas Harmonica San Dimas Guitar San Dimas Mandolin Blue Lightning* Title Screen California Games Intro Screen Game select screen BMX BGM Surfing BGM Halfpipe BGM Footbag BGM Crystal Mines Level Music A Level Music B Level Music C Electrocop Title Screen Level music Panel music A Panel music B Panel music C Panel music D Gates of Zendocon Intro Screen/ Level Theme 1 Level Theme 2 Level Theme 3 Level Theme 4 Level Theme 5 End Credits Klax Intro Screen Sound Effects Kung Food Title Screen Freezer Fridge Floor Cupboards Countertop Lemmings Intro Movie Level Music A Level Music B Level Music C Level Music D Level Music E Level Music F Level Music G Level Music H Level Music I Level Music J Level Music K End credits Ninja Gaiden* Level 1 music Qix Telegames logo Intro Screen Name Entry screen Robotron 2084 Title Screen High Score Tables Game Over Story Credits Scrapyard Dog Level Theme A Level Theme B End of Round Boss music Cave/Castle music Death theme Game Over theme – Funeral March Bonus Room Invincibility Powerup Final Victory Shadow of the Beast Title Screen Overworld theme I Underground music Well music Castle music Continue screen Boss theme I Boss theme II End credits Shanghai Title music Game BGM A Game BGM B Game BGM C Game BGM D S.T.U.N.

SwedenLynxer Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thats really nice! I'd be very intrested in downloading those tunes. Gates of Zendocon, Shadow of the Beast, Lemmings and Robotron 2084 contains some of my favorite Lynx music (especially the Robotron 2084 title screen tune!)

per Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) how do you get s copy of the music out of the ROM? Edited May 17, 2007 by per Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 how do you get s copy of the music out of the ROM? There is really no good way to do it today. You probably have to record it. But there is a very promising way of doing it that should be implemented in Handy. Maxim has created a format called VGM for ripping game music. The idea is that you run the game in an emulator and whenever the code changes some sound registers on the Lynx Handy could write the register change with a clock count in a file. The resulting file can then be played back on WinAmp with a VGM plugin. Of course you also need to write a Lynx sound emulator to the VGM plugin for this to work. The good thing is that this approach provides a clean sound instead of the stuttering sound Handy has. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) I ran a cable from the Lynx headphone jack out to my laptop, and recorded/edited them with Audacity. The results were fantastic for a non-professional, unexperienced job IMO. The rapidshare links are below. The files were too big to include as one download, so I had to split it into two. Oh, and please let me know if you've downloaded and/or enjoyed this so I can get that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Part 1: http://rapidshare.com/files/31744717/Atari..._Rips1.zip.html Part 2: http://rapidshare.com/files/31751924/Atari..._Rips2.zip.html password: my username, no spaces, all caps.

4ever2600 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Trying to unzip the files and they want a password for each of them? Who the hell encrypted these??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I figured it out!!! WOOHOO!!! Nice touch! Let's see how many others can guess it! AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Oh sure, then you edit your post with the password, shame on you! Anyways, hey great stuff! I was AMAZED at the quality of the rips! Some of my favorites too! Thanks for sharing! You are now allowed to have that 'warm fuzzy feeling'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yup, I was a dummy and forgot to include the password with the post. When you reminded me, I figured it would be best to put the password right next to the links for minimal confusion. But it seems you're the only one who's downloaded it, so now it's all good (I think). Glad you like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Yes, for right this second... But you have to understand... There will be alot of people that download it and enjoy them and never take the time to write a simple email to say, Thanks... You'll see, there will be more that will enjoy them and post their opinions over time... It won't happen all tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinchy Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hey PFG9000 Great Recordings! Can you or someone record the intro to gates of zendocon? Theres a part where its shows the floating brain and it starts laughing, then bubbles fall down beneath it. I always remember the laughing part on the real thing and always wondered why handy never did it and see they use the similiar trick as the c64 and change the volume control. I made a quick hack to handy to play it but it sounds clipped too hard. I notice theres several sound registers not utilized in the mixing of the audio in handy. I noticed someone else mentioned that missing sound in gates in another thread. Is there any other sound discrepancies in any other games? Are there any games that specifically used stereo panning? I never did have many lynx games and mine is in storage far far away so I dont have access to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segataritensoftii Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 About the sound chip in the lynx... is it the famous POKEY chip, by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuzaxeman Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 i could do a professional mix of these lynx samples but i don't have the time...maybe in the future. shangai and blue thunder have great music.... http://www.myspace.com/phuz http://www.myspace.com/julin (producer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 About the sound chip in the lynx... is it the famous POKEY chip, by any chance? I don't know off of the top of my head, but I find that that would be unlikely as the Lynx was not developed by Atari, but by Epyx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I think I'm going to try doing this to a few of the titles I enjoy that HAVEN'T been done... it'll take a while, but I'll be sure to post them here once I have for the rest to enjoy! Later! - D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobro Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) You should consider post this up at kohina.com, it's a good video game radio station and they have no lynx music at all. If you don't mind it then I can do it for you since I'm a member there. Edited July 29, 2007 by jobro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFG 9000 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 If the files are deleted, I might be able to find the originals on disc someplace and re-upload them. I'll check it out this weekend if I have time. Clean Larry, if you're reading this, I'll try to take care of your request at the same time.
