I'd prefer not to have to compose on a VB, but if that's the only method available then I would. The whole eyestrain thing...having to take frequent breaks... kind of annoying. That is interesting that there is a model with a video out, though. That would make song writing a lot more tolerable. Not to mention it opens up some sweet possibilities for visuals at live shows big_smile.

TG 16 is cool and all but you can't strap it to your head for a live performance to appear as some sort of musical prodigy from the future.

Wow, thanks everyone for chiming in. Didn't think there would be much interest in the virtual boy haha. To echo/ sum up everyone thoughts so far... I don't think anyone would actually want to compose on the virtual boy itself (although you never know), just would want to be able to play the song back on a virtual boy. A pc based tracker for composing would be best i think. Sounds like deflemask would be ideal. I'm familiar with it but never really messed around with it. Hopefully there will be virtual boy implementation eventually. There does exist a homebrew music player for the virtual boy already i believe according to a friend of mine, but I'll look more into that. So long as you have a flash cart, voila.

Just picturing someone on stage with a virtual boy strapped to their head is simultaneously awesome and hilarious. It needs to happen!

@Timbob Yes! jack bros is one of the games i was playing and it has a fantastic soundtrack. see if you can find some other tracks, you wont be disappointed.

Yes, VIRTUAL BOY music. After playing a virtual boy for the first time since it came out i realized that the sound chip actually has a pretty cool unique sound. A friend of mine is particularly interested in getting started writing chip music, but only if its on a virtual boy lol. Does a tracker of any sort exist for VB? a quick google search yielded a post about a dos based tracker called MUSPCS and a converter for virtual boy. The only problem is the converter only converts one of the 4 channels, which kinda sucks. Are there any other known alternatives?

side note: wasn't sure whether to post this in consoles or handhelds...i guess its technically a handheld? but i dunno, lol

i have no idea what un-albmutoric or gyronket even means.

nice to see this get a proper release finally. although it makes me realize that i could do such a better elecman cover now, lol.

i started messing around with snes music for the 1st time a couple days ago so i dunno how much help i can be, but what program/plugins you using?. i used the waves reverb plugin in modplug and after messing with the settings i was able to get a sound that was pretty darn close. some channels will sound better with not quite as much reverb (ie bass and drums most likely), but that's all a matter of preference i suppose. as to whether its monophonic...not sure but i don't think it is...

the samples have to be very short to sound decent. try chopping it up a little in any sound editing program first to take off any silence before and after the sample.
