most accurate .gbs player? hardware .gbs player? by bucky at 5:24 AM EST on November 19, 2009

Hey there!

First off, I was wondering if anyone could weigh in on what are some of the most accurate .gbs players. Is there a consensus on this?

Without having the hardware to compare, I've been especially in the dark. For a while I was using in_gbs (Meridian GBS Player v0.3.1). Asides from freezing on some tracks, I've since been informed of the wave channel being practically half volume of where it should be (at least in some .gbs files), and I believe there's another issue with noise being too loud at higher pitches?

I've tried out the standalone version of nezplay (same thing as nezplug++?). Using a couple reference tracks that I've been able to come across, I can hear that it sounds like its much more accurate. Just thought I'd ask incase there's anything else out there I should be aware of.

Second question, is there a possibility of seeing a .gbs player for the game boy? Is there one already? Some sort of equivalent to playing nsfs off the NES powerpak would be ace. :)

Yeah. GBS2GB. I continue to use it for creating GBSs, so both the conversion app and the player code have been getting regular workouts and occasional updates.

I'd like to get the flash stuff to put these into a real GBA(the part I have) with a Flash cart and a voltage modifier(which I don't). If you ever manage to test the converted .GB files, tell me about the results.

Very cool! I don't have the tools on hand, but have a couple friends who do. I'd love to sample .gbs rips from a sound-modded game boy.

I'll report back when I get to try this out, thanks ugetab!

There's a GBA to GB cart converter called GB Bridge. This one has done me a pretty good service for accurate line-in records of GB games in conjunction with the Cube's Gameboy Player.

However, I have found quite a couple of GBS files that just won't be converted into working GB roms, no matter what. Those games include SML2, Wario Land, TMNT Fall of the Foot Clan and maybe some more. Trying to run those always results in an error. I'd love to know what's wrong with those GBS files.

I think it could be the usage of SRAM(SML2 uses A468 for song init), but this is more of a technical issue than anything else.

Hard to test for something like that without some actual hardware to test it with, or other settings and stuff.

You may want to Goomba the set or something, so it would be in the GBA emulator. Not the ideal solution, but it should be passably decent like that.

Didn't get to test it out on hardware yet, that should happen sometime this coming week, but I did get to test a couple conversions in three emulators (tgb dual, KiGB, and visualboyadvance) and it works great in each. I'm excited. :)

Hey, so this works perfectly on hardware so far. :D
I've converted a little over 20 gbs files without encountering any yet that don't work too. Hopefully the ones mentioned above are very much in the minority.

Thanks again! This is great. I've now got plenty of soundtracks to rip...

Thanks for the confirmation.

I've updated the ASM file to reflect that the new coding has been tested and works.

I'd like to get into this, and was wondering if someone could help me pin down a good rewritable cartridge to get.

I'm down to:
Nonfinite's BleepBloop cartridge
or the basic EMS USB cartridge.

I think that EMS cartridge and the 64M Smart Card from other websites are the same thing, but I'm not positive.

If all I want is the simple ability to transfer converted .gbs ROMs to a cart, I could probably skip the BleepBloop cart, save some money, and go with the EMS cartridge, right?

Anybody have any reliability stories or other anecdotes about these carts?

...I'm not positive.

Are you negative?
