Recently I stumbled upon this link on PlanetVB with links to Visual Boy OSTs to download…

I was just wondering if anyone else has managed to rip the audio from any other Virtual Boy games?

I’d love to have the Bound High, Vertical Force and Red Alarm OSTs at some point 🙂

Did you have a look at the multimedia tabs on the respective game profiles?

Actually that’s something I’ve wanted to know for a while, is it possible to get the music of all the games without the sound effects ? I know I tried to record some music (from Panic Bomber namely) but I could only get part of it because the actual level musics had the s.e. over it and there’s, as far as I know, no Sound Test screen (like the one in the Japanese version of Jack Bros).

If you want to hear what I’ve managed to cull from Panic Bomber here’s a zip file : http://jenesuis.net/fichiers/musiques/virtual%20boy/Panic%20bomber.rar

I was hellbent on recording the actual console and not an emulator so this is recorded from the audio output of the console onto a Zoom H4n recorder via a standard gold plated minijack/minijack cable.

Perhaps the best solution is to hack the games of interest to not output sound effects, then load the mod on the hardware for recording.

I was thinking something along those lines at the time when I recorded these but the flashboy did not exist yet.

Come to think of it, I really like the VB sound chip. It would be cool to have a music application to exploit it, like the ones which already exist on the NES or the Game Boy.

Although both are way out of my scope since I’m not a programmer…

I’ve been especially interested in Panic Bomber’s OST. I’m sure there’s gotta be some way to extract the sound files.

On another note, the entire Red Alarm OST is on youtube since you mentioned wanting that, Cauterize.

Thank you 🙂 I had no idea they were available there.
