i really liked echelon's intro on skies of arcadia, i used to put the disk in just to listen to it sometimes :)
some also have trainers built in, just for fun.
if the music and graphics are nice enough, i don't mind. it's better than the game stopping half way and popping up with an advert (websites and videos these days!)

of course, i prefer a perfect, archive, exact data backup rom :)

damn that is a sweet song, but did that "trtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtr" noise was part of it, or is the bad recording?

well, @CeeDee is trying to preserve the font :teach::teach:

guys we get it, you have a strong erected opinion about cracktros, but this is about the font used on one of thoose, please don't get so startled :bow:

@migles - https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=170962 download that, get foobar2000 and then install this plugin http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_dumb :)

didn't need foobar, linux xplayed played it fine :D it's a cool music
the noise is still there, i mean there is a "background" instrument (or noise) (more noticiable in the video) who resembles like interference you get in analog audio
it makes me remember the old days when my sega composite to antenna adapter had corrusion on it which made the sound have interference

I love cracktro's remembers me from the good old C64/Amiga 500 days.


When I was busy with my first GBA flashcard (XGflash 256mbit) many GBA games got a cracktro some with trainers.
Most off those roms also get a Sram patch to save games on older GBA flashcards.

Some NDS games got a cracktro, but not that many.

If some poeple like those cracktro tunes, can try sounds from the demoscene (c64,Amiga,ZX Spectrum).
Poeple are still making chiptunes/demos for those old computers, like this one:

I wish people still made cracktros and intros. Miss that big time. Release it with an "iamlame.ips" patch that removes the intro like Capital did back in the GBC days, for all I care.

@cearp, I loved that Skies of Arcadia cracktro tune, too!

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
