Inb4 deadly habit!

Have you thought about buying an old gameboy and some music cartridges for it?

Magical 8 Bit Plug is a nice freeware VSTi to create the sounds you're looking for.

This.

'magical8bitplug' is made by the chiptune band YMCK, and it's proper sick It's basically like a gameboy on your PC... Music-wise ofc

Check it here; http://www.ymck.net/magical8bitplug/index.html (Beware the page is in Japanese, but I have Google toolbar and that was able to translate it no problem )

I LIKE the "ymVST" plug-in is very good
the "hues 2600" is funny to use too

38911 bytes got great presets if you wanna this

basic 64 vst, i just load a simple square wave, make it sound how i want then reduce the decay rate to make it snappy.

I might be repeating some of the earlier suggestions, but here are the links for my 8bit plugin collection (all freeware as well!)

some are better than others for different things, the best is to mess around and see which works best

and i think magical8bitplugin has been mentioned enough already, great plugin tho

I find that layering some white noise very quietly with the synth can create some sweet sounds, plus bitcrusher.

the wave pack from Adventure Kid has no content in it! am i doing something wrong?

[jaydot]

There's a dope 8 bit synth I forget the name of around. Some decent presets there, Mario jumps and whatnot.

[Basic A]

alright, have you got a synth what will let you import your own waveforms? Something like Octopus, Absynth or Alchemy.


Its really just a matter of clicking "load" and finding the waveform you want

I think the ones you listed are all paid synths, Atlantis can do this for free!
