masschamber Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I like the odyssey 2, but one thing that bothers me is the lack of music in games, I know popeye has a little music and Turtles puts the voice to good use to create really nice music, but do any other games have in game music on either stock hardware or using the voice?

+atari2600land Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The problem with the Odyssey 2 is that the hardware doesn't really have the capabilities of different notes. The Voice has actual notes, though, so you can make music with it. I don't know how many homebrews use it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the audio hardware is extremely limited 1 channel and only a selection of sounds, but popeye made it work I was just wondering if any others did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I just thought of something: Ted of Tedfoolery Games found out a way to make beautiful music without the Voice on the homebrew Puzzle Piece Panic. I don't know how, he must be a genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE ZERO Edition - Tribute to David Bowie - Space Oddity by Ted MINEFIELD by Rafael Cardoso (use TheVoice) That's cool, so only 4 original releases had music but a handful of homebrews have it. So how did you get music in mission impossible to work since the odyssey 2 has such limited audio hardware? is it just the limited sound carefully selected or did you use the cpu to drive more complex audio? I might have to buy puzzle piece panic and mine field just to hear that music Edited August 18, 2018 by masschamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
