audioschmaudio Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 https://nnaud.io/plugins/game-boi-free-retro-game-inspired-plugin/ According to the website: Quote Inspired by the iconic Game Boy and Nintendo 64 Doesn't sound like it to me at all, but still useful. A free rompler, can't hurt, except your hard drive space maybe. It's funny, because it's been around for a few days but I couldn't install it. Today I received a newsletter mail, telling me that they've fixed the installer issue. It didn't install the files to the correct location. I find it funny because New Nation has a long tradition of fails and it just won't end. However, it's free, so I won't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno de Souza Lino Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I don't see where any of the influences are apart from them being used for the interface and marketing reasons. The Gameboy and N64 are almost diametrically opposed in terms of sound architecture. The Gameboy uses a 4-channel synth design similar to the NES but more limited whilst the N64 can do ACPDM audio at sample rates up to 44.1k as well as MIDI controlled soundfonts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Yeah, I had the same thoughts as both of you, this doesn't sound anything at all like the Game Boy or Nintendo 64. The feedback on it in a Facebook group I'm in has been absolutely brutal.The consensus is to not bother downloading or installing it. If you're looking for Game Boy sounds, Impact Soundworks has a free / donationware library for the full version of KONTAKT that sounds great and is a lot of fun to play. https://impactsoundworks.com/product/super-audio-boy/ Edited August 13, 2023 by PavlovsCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno de Souza Lino Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Other alternatives include Famistusio, which is a cross platform (Windows/MacOS/Linux/Android) sequencer made to specifically do chiptune music: Plugin-wise, you have 8-Bit treats from SocaLabs, which gives you emulations of the NES, Master System, Gameboy and SID. Also free: https://www.tracktion.com/products/8bit-treats For Nintendo 64, your best bet is finding the soundfonts of games which make use it of them, which are game specific.
