I’ve also added some new events for the one-off Pokémon such as starters and legendaries. They’re all soundly located and dispersed throughout the game with no awkward confrontations in strange routes. What I offer is an alternative that puts in all the Pokémon fitting for this game: the first two generations. Stuffing 300+ Pokémon into a game the size of FR/LG can make things feel claustrophobic. I’ll see about contacting endrift regarding this issue. Sounds aren’t even as crisp as they were on original hardware. Although mGBA has by and large surpassed VBA-M in terms of accuracy, its PSG sound emulation is still lacking. If you want to best experience the GB Sounds music on PC, I suggest you play Throwback using VBA-M. There appears to be more that I don’t know about it, but it seems that no one around knows anything about it, either. This is due to a variety of reasons, including lack of documentation, emulation inaccuracies, and even possible discrepancies between the GBA’s legacy PSG chip support versus the Game Boy’s PSG support. Modulation may not sound entirely correct.

I can’t say whether this is an emulation issue or a GBA issue. Pitch bending doesn’t play accurately in my experience.

The later version heard in Japanese Blue, international Red and Blue, and Yellow uses duty shifting and is thus also impossible to recreate natively. The Game Freak logo sound heard in Throwback is from the Japanese releases of Red and Green. This is because duty shifting is a custom feature of the Gen I/II music engine, not a native part of the Game Boy’s standard music library. “Jigglypuff’s Song” is played back through DirectSound, not through the PSG chip. Lowering it would ruin the fade outs of songs, making them reach zero volume (or velocity, both are impacted similarly) earlier than they should. It is the same level as it was in the original games. Things to consider if you think something’s off with any part of the sound:Īny quirk in an emulator’s PSG sound chip implementation will cause some things to not sound quite right. Keep in mind that Gen I music was originally meant to be heard in mono. Gen I tunes use basic custom panning based on what I felt was most conventional, while Gen II tunes retain their original panning. You’ll also be able to play the music in stereo if you wish. The game saves which bank is in use, so saving with the 8-bit music on will allow you to keep them on when booting the game up. To play the classic music, check your Key Items Pocket at the start of the game and you’ll see a new item there: the GB Sounds! With it you can choose which music you want to listen to throughout the game.
