Segataritensoftii Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) This is pretty interesting. Some guy patched his NES's sound output through several TIA chips on the Atari 2600. Here's a link to The sound in question, and the forum thread. Edit: some more samples. Edited February 28, 2011 by Segataritensoftii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 What the hell? That's amazing... even if it does sound like a chorus of trained flies, I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogoandrei Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 really interesting... it sounds really good and I liked how the tones of the 2600 are really bright when staying in tune. I have no idea how he managed that. I mean, he explains but I couldn't understand much. All in all, awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigor Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I just listened to these and they are AMAZING! Better than the music from 95% of 2600 games. Really only rivaled by Mountain King and Pressure Cooker, perhaps a couple others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackbar Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 when staying in tune. I have no idea how he managed that. It's emulated, albeit in hardware (FPGA). He used the NES frequency dividers instead of the Atari's, which is why it sounds in tune and such. He's not limited to the pitches the Atari normally can produce.
