The GBA’s sound chip was pretty limited for sure but that didn’t stop composers from making auditive masterpieces.

@sguinn91 2 жыл бұрын

Well, here's the strange thing. Technically, the GBA never had a dedicated sound chip. They technically turned the GBA''s CPU into a 8- bit DAC to run the sound for it. Which is probably why it sounds so compressed and scratchy at times. I think Game Sack can give you better details than I could.

@joaofernandes9756 2 жыл бұрын

@@sguinn91 Maybe Nintendo did this to make the sound chip cheaper to produce, after all it's a 2001 handheld, so they must have had some difficulties.

@@sguinn91 No, the GBA has 2 8-bit hardware DACs with built in timers to tell the CPU when new samples are needed. The only time the CPU really has to do much work is when mixing more than 2 samples down into to 1 or 2.

I loved the gba sound despite it being lower fidelity, it kinda felt like a retro platform before retro became really popular, the sound quality is in line between the nes and snes but with much greater levels of experience with these types of sound profiles

@Oysterblade84 2 жыл бұрын

I tend to think of it as a superior Master System/NES console because some games on the system sound very much like 8-bit hardware but advanced to include a few PCM channels for sampled sound on top of the PSG, the Sonic Advance series, Puyo Pop Fever and Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival are notorious for using the PSG squares and sawtooths in a heavy dose over the sampled channels making the music sound vastly inferior to what is heard in these games in this video which is amazing! The music in this video comes from games that use the pcm channels more making the music sound superior.
