Is the sound created with FM synthesis?
- em3rgent0rdr 5y agoI ask because a lot of the early DOS games generated sound via a sound card, and most of those used FM synthesis at the time. And so if really want to recreate the original sound then FM synthesis should be used.
- em3rgent0rdr 5y agolistening over to different versions[1] and it is amazing how different the game sounded on different systems (sometimes with completely different soundtrackks). The Apple II sounds like it uses two square waves only. While Amiga, DOS, PC-98, Sharp x68000 and Sega Genesis sound like FM synth, FM Towns and SNES sound like wavetable synth, Gameboy is two squares, NES is two squares and a triangle plus noise.
